SWO Board 22FEB21

[PontusPilot]

Who knows honestly. My recruiter has made the claim it does have an effect on your preferences if the candidates are very similar and they need a splitter. But I honestly couldn't make a truly informed guess.

Have had 4 ORs up to this point, and its split 2-2 on if it truly matters. Current OR has said it doesn't matter.

The only thing I can see as far as looking from the outside in, when it comes to the GENOFF sheets it specifically says how many 1st and 2nd preference selections they are taking for the next board

The fact that they only really track 1st and 2nd on the dashboard indicates it is a factor, now it will vary. SWO for instance for the longest time would take people that were 3rd, then they put out a memo that said only 1st and 2nd would be considered for SWO, then that went away. Supply for the longest time rarely took anyone that wasn't 1st, same with IWC designators.

It could be a factor for SWO now but not supply, or vice versa, as it changes, I would say the greatest indicator is how many people on this site respond and say they were picked for their 3rd choice. That would be an interesting data point.

Aviation just cared about how good the scores were.

Yes all of this. The one thing I can say about all the speculation is that everyone is learning new stuff about this process. because no one really knows all the answers to these questions unless you reach out on a forum like this.

Personally, the more I learn about the process, the more I find myself embracing my inner dog.

So, my first choice was Intel. Second was SWO.
I could technically get Pro-Rec in both because my first choice met after my second, right?
Kinda puts me uneasy that SWO was my second choice. Makes me think they’ll pass me over for it.

from what ive heard, first and second choice doesnt matter too much. you have a good shot either way with SWO
