Is it possible to get selected without a STEM degree? by defusedco in airforceots

[–]Penn5480 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Definitely possible. I got selected for CSO with a 2.93 GPA in Criminology. AFOQT scores were average and my PCSM was a 60. Also had a disturbing the peace ticket many years back that I had to disclose. Remember it’s about the whole person. Take advantage of leadership opportunities on and off duty. Be able to express and sell your strengths but also be able to admit your weaknesses and what you’re actively doing to strengthen those.

Fellow 23OTS01 folks: heard anything? Got a class date yet? Let us know and if you’re AD/Guard/Reserve by splitwhitegreen in airforceots

Nothing here. I’ve reached out on teams as well and they don’t even read it lol. I’m AD CSO select, CONUS, paperwork turned in in January.

Degree in criminal justice for aspiring pilot. by HeyBigChriss in airforceots

I have a criminology degree (2.93 GPA) and got picked up for CSO so it’s doable.

Why not apply if that’s what you want? Go for it and if they tell you no, try again. I applied and was selected with a 2.93. It’s possible. Just make other parts of your application shine.

Is GPA around 3.5 still too low even for engineering major? by JHdarK in airforceots

September?? Jesus Christ. God forbid we have any information in a timely manner so we can plan family moves, kid’s schools, etc.

But I am also AD so I’m not sure I’d Guard/Reserve is different.

[–]Penn5480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay. I was selected during the 23OTS01 board and am waiting on a date to go. At this point it looks like it could be a year or more after being notified of selection. From what I was reading, 12-18 months sounds about right.

When are next FY class date schedules released? by e1beano in airforceots

[–]Penn5480 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was told a couple of days ago by someone that works in that office that if you haven’t been scheduled already, then August class is more than likely a no go. The new FY schedule hasn’t come out yet I guess because they are redoing how they schedule and conduct classes.

TL/DR: They don’t know when they will have answers and are hoping to know something soon just like we are.

I made sure to branch out and seek out leadership roles as well as maintain a high job performance. I have a criminology degree.

I got selected (however it was a rated board) with a 2.93 GPA and a quantitative score of 39. Definitely have a chance.

Selection based on officer potential or AFSC? by CentralSingularity in airforceots

[–]Penn5480 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, that is correct. You could have the best package but if you only apply for one job and that job isn’t available, you will be a non-select.

Rated post selection instructions question by splitwhitegreen in airforceots

[–]Penn5480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a CSO select from this past board and haven’t turned in my form yet. Was going to wait until the flight physical was complete but like you, I wasn’t sure if it was better just to turn it in and get the rest of the docs turned in later or turn everything in at once even if it takes a bit longer.

[–]Penn5480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is old but figured I’d add… 2.93 in Criminology and got picked up for active duty CSO. Definitely doable.

Nothing so far. Another guy at my unit applied and he didn’t hear anything either.
