To select pilot do you need a 3.0 gpa to submit a package, I keep seeing people who had a lower gpa getting selected or in the fleet but Im not sure that information is accurate, or at least upto date.

What does the program authorization say? Check it out to find your answer.

All it states is you need a 3.0 for immediate select. It also states no other waivers other than age so I'm thinking it means I cant submit a package with below a 3.0

There you go. That is the answer for immediate select. If you are inquiring about the regular OCS application/board process, the rest of the PA tells you specific requirements.

Awesome, thank you! Any idea when moving household goods happens? I’m currently AD Enlisted and my orders have me leaving all of my stuff and paying rent at my current duty station. I’d like to get rid of one place before I start paying for another lol.

I moved my stuff in between getting my orders and checking in at Pensacola. I can't give you a good answer for this since I'm not prior enlisted, but I'm sure some of the other people who were can provide some insight on this

sTUPID qUESTION: For SWO, does your OAR score matter more than your GPA, or vice versa? I have a very rigorous major, and my GPA is shit. However, I SMOKED the OAR on my 2nd attempt.

Talk to your recruiter. You should be able to get a waiver if it isn’t that bad…. You at least have a 2.9?

Good OAR and ASTB scores will speak louder on a package than GPA, especially if you majored in STEM.

Hi folks, extra dumb question about OCS PRT standards. If someone had a birthday while at OCS and changed age groups, would the standards for the later PRTs in OCS reflect that new age group or would it stay at whatever you checked in as? TIA

If I’m not mistaken, (my birthday is in October and I’ll change age groups) as long as you dont initiate the PRT, like do the BCA portion with your previous age, your standards will change to your new age group. Pretty much, if you were 29 when you filled and signed the paper, but your birthday was 2 days later and you turned 30, your requirements will be for age 29.

Is the minimum sat high or good low for the ist now? I know aim higher because you are tired hungry etc when you take it. Just trying to get a straight answer since I keep seeing conflicting info. Thanks

Good Low

I tried to search and nothing came up. For Enlisted going to OCS, do we keep BAH or lose it in OCS. Trying to find out if I have leave my apartment and pay out of pocket for storage or just keep my apartment until we PCS after.

As of May you would keep it but things are always changing.

just got a random call from my recruiter, he says FY25 pilot slots are all full and that I will need to wait for FY26 to apply. Is this true? and if so may I ask what is the point of having additional FY25 boards? I was set to submit for BDCP SNA at the January 13th, 2025 board. Is he just blowing smoke? Things have been going very well with him during the appliction process and now he just dropped this bomb on me.

I would suggest checking out the recent aviation boards to find some answers.

Will do. My current recruiter retires in December, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s just blowing smoke to coast out these last few months and ride off into the sunset.

There's been a few posts/comments about it, hence why checking out the various board posts to see what the most current/updated info is.
