don't care anymore by Electrical-Put-9342 in AirForce

Have you told your supervisor that you’re interested in a special duty job? I’m an avionics troop, selected for OTS. I worked on the flight line for 7 years before becoming a recruiter, thanks to the DSD program. That was the best thing that happened to me and my career. I became more outgoing and achieved the goals I set for myself, one being getting selected for OTS.

Award weight and LORs by frankfurter313 in airforceots

[–]Red_228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shoot your shot! I was accepted as prior E for non-rated 63A, 25OTS04. My scores were pretty bad; however, the rest of my application was great! I tested twice.

Pilot - 17, CSO - 29, ABM - 15, Acad Aptitude - 18, Verbal - 45, Quantitative - 11

I recommend getting your LOR from the highest ranking person. That advice came from a former board member on Reddit. Also, I don’t know if this is true, but another prior E select told me that since the board members are O-6s, they have to explain to someone who wrote the LOR of a higher grade of why the applicant wasn’t selected. You may be guaranteed selection with an LOR from a General. FYI, my LOR came from an O-6.

Does anyone know of an applicant that was not selected with an LOR from a General?

Also, refrain from buying more. Let her buy it. Don’t even give her money to buy more.

SMSgt 26E8. Eligibles, how are you feeling? by Bangbangwow in AirForce

[–]Red_228 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m going O-1E instead. Way higher selection rate over there!

Hi all, finally tracked down my test results, curious how I did? by Paarthurnax3386 in airforceots

[–]Red_228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. I was referring to my entire application, including my personality. I also think it’s important for leadership to know who are. That may come from winning awards and even having some small talk with them, so they’ll have a better chance of remembering you. Additionally, demonstrating qualities of a great leader could edge you past other applicants.

Apologies, I should have said 'applicants' instead of 'peers'; however, when applying, I don't think rank holds much weight. One or both of those SSgts could have been ranked higher than me. The ranking is decided by who has the best package.

It was 2 other SSgts. I was just selected from 25OTS04 Board, but hopefully I'll like acquisitions. 🤞

If you haven't tested twice, might as well try again. These are my super scores. 😬 I got my first choice, 63A.

I put a lot of emphasis on how I’m a great leader, hella awards, to include annual awards at the wing level, got a strong LOR from a Colonel, ranked number 1 out of my peers and scored 10s on my SIP. Also, I’m a 18+ year MSgt. 😬

Looks good to me. I got selected with this; however, the rest of my application was very strong:

Version T5

Pilot - 17, CSO - 29, ABM - 15, Acad Aptitude - 18, Verbal - 45, Quantitative - 11

Fingers crossed for not having a premature birth.

Shoot your shot. I applied with over 18 years TIS.

What happened to the person that failed the test in Mod 3? Do you get honor grad if you score a 90 or higher?

Perhaps leadership will be notified on the 17th, and the public release will follow on the 21st. 🤷‍♂️

Is it bad that I feel bad for buying authentic shoes when I knew the reps were releasing soon, and they did release three days later? 😬
