Air Contracts?

[jdkerz9445]

I am a recent college grad on the east coast who has been trying to go to OCC-Air since last October (2009).

My packet is complete and ready to be sent up to the boards at any time...but my recruiter keeps telling that there is no contracts available for ANYONE. I believe that I have a solid packet that should place me in a great position for a contract...here is some background.

300 PFT (17:00 min run time)
3.6 GPA - graduated
6, 7, 6 - ASTB
3 years college ROTC
good flight physical
etc...

I was told for the past several months that there would probably be some slots open for October OCC... but I got a call last week saying that they are not even looking at packets for the rest of the year.

I am searching for any kind of answers or explanations. Has anyone, besides females, gotten an AIR contract for October/January OCC.

I understand that there is a backup of students at both TBS and Flight School....but that has to loosen up sometime???

Thanks in advance for any input...

I'm in the same boat as you man, and it doesn't look like there will be contracts until 2012.

Search around some of the more recent threads about recent OCC classes and the lack of air contracts. You will find a lot of your questions answered there. The gist of it being that API, Primary and even Advanced in some places is very backed up for Navy/Marines, i.e. like a 8 month wait for each place. The last thing they want to do is add to the backlog by taking more air contracts. But like I said, search around.

There is a huge thread here about this...

No Marine AIR until 2012
