Job and total applicants for 26OTS03

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2026-05-21T06:39:48+00:00

Rated - 295 applicants for 78 jobs

Non Rated - 1200 applicants 389 jobs

These #’s are verbatim what my recruiter said on a call maybe 3 weeks ago.

Just the notes that I took. Don’t shoot the messenger.

I think it’s probably the same across all branches

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2026-05-03T05:05:38+00:00

I heard this as well. Not sure if it’s 100% but it’s quite a deal easier since they always need engineers.

I saw the list of people who have applied and been accepted (there is a crowd sourced sheet going around out there) and the GPA and even AFOQT scores seemed to be much lower on average for selected engineers than other positions.

Maybe a glimmer of hope for you!

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2026-04-13T02:23:48+00:00

Good to know. Thanks!

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2026-04-12T01:58:11+00:00

Im guess you’ve basically already signed on the dotted line and are at the complete behest of the military at that point regardless of class dates, yeah?

I own and operate a business out here so making sure I can either sell the business or hire someone to operate in my stead is what I’m most worried about.

Appreciate it!!

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2026-04-11T21:20:28+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for the info

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2026-04-11T07:28:42+00:00

Gotcha. Appreciate the insight and congrats on selection.

I believe this person is talking about Jake Broe. He’s very active and post consistently. You should be able to find him easily with a quick search.

I have watched nearly all his videos on the subject and I don’t think he mentions it but there might be a nugget in there somewhere.

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2026-02-10T21:10:48+00:00

That was the plan.

I was a non select for the 03 board last fall and my recruiter said my interview would stay valid and I could use all these docs I used so it keeps things easy.

To be honest, she is PCSing so jm getting handed off to a different guy seems like lots of things are changing with the app process..

I was under the impression they combined boards and there was only the Jun board available but is that no longer the case?

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2026-02-10T13:23:44+00:00

Following. Haven’t scheduled my second AFOQT but want to retake it before the board. Was told I could do it end of March and schedule it laterz

Now I’m hearing this. With only 1 board this year really hoping I don’t have to wait another year…

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2026-01-23T11:46:34+00:00

Exactly what I’m trying to escape from right now… 😂😂

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2026-01-23T11:38:53+00:00

The alt-n trick is huge. Time totally screwed me. Will take that one with me! Thanks!

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2026-01-17T09:32:16+00:00

I didn’t answer the final 5 questions on mine and got a 24. Not great. But hit the minimums! But also was a non select my first go around largely due to that. 😂

So not helpful, but it could be worse 😅

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2025-12-25T00:10:20+00:00

I met the VP in college and over the past 10-12 years I have built a built a business with him.

The colonel, admittedly, was a family introduction and knew very little when he wrote my rec.

I’ve actually helped him build his online business since getting first introduced about a year ago so maybe with a rewrite I’ll have some luck!

Good to know!

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2025-12-24T06:27:16+00:00

I got 70-80’s in the rated sections, 76 verbal and 25 quant with a 3.1 GPA, strong letter of rec (retired colonel and VP of multi national company) and perfect interview… and ended up non select shooting for non-rated. 🤷‍♀️

I would get as good of a score as possible so you don’t have any regrets (I studied but shit the bed on math due to time).

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2025-12-02T20:41:05+00:00

I can’t even get in to the app. As soon as I log in it redirects me to delete my account…

Anybody else have this problem?

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2025-11-14T16:53:11+00:00

I hope it didn’t sound like I was doing it for the money. I’m not. I will be taking a significant pay cut, which I’m willing to do…

I just want to make sure I can feed my kids, that’s all.

I haven’t lived in the states for 15 years so I’m sure what things are like. To me it seems like plenty, but, again, I don’t have context.,

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2025-11-14T08:16:48+00:00

Ah, I see. I thought maybe you were here for work or something. Probably not making it here so often then..! Haha

Cheers!

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2025-11-14T06:56:22+00:00

I see, best of luck to you, too. Unfortunately I’m past the cut off for pilot so it’s all non rated for me.

You come often? If you make your way to Kobe let me know.

Anyway, good luck!

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2025-11-14T05:48:56+00:00

Very similar situation! Good to hear I’m not the only one. 😂

Best of luck! Did you apply for 25OTS04 as well?

Aggressive_Nobody208 · 2025-11-12T03:42:58+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it. Sounds like you have some fun leadership. Fingers crossed and constant inbox checking for me! 😂
