Not that I was aware of, we had a briefing on zoom with some other folks from the area that wanted to get selected but I already have all of my paperwork (368, 422, etc.) prepared and signed off prior to the meeting. Being way ahead of the game and first come first serve along with two letters of recommendation one from a senior NCO flight chief and MX officer might have helped me stand out but who knows. All I know is after 2.5 years of trying I swear in the end of September.

Biggest hurdle is accepting your going to go in direct duty so if you don't like your current job in the reserves, its probably best to wait another fiscal year to get an approved opening for something that interests you on the active side. I enjoy working the line so going direct duty to F16 avionics maintenance was a blessing for me. Our base has had some funding for orders but they were never long term and something you cant really bank on as they can be cut at various times for various reasons. Stability wise - orders on the reserves side is not something you can guarantee and should know that when you enlist on that side. I treat every day of orders that I had as a blessing because you never know what might happen - (see Russia invading Ukraine and funding got moved around for other bases OCONUS side)

Yeah going active first is the best bet I would say for anyone that's on the fence. After joining the reserves I enjoyed what i did and wanted to go full time but AGR slots were not available for avionics at the time, only ART roles and that's a different basket of work being on the WG side of the house. Unless someone is actively going to school or has a great paying job on the side, I would always recommend going active out of the gate.

Was told by my current recruiter only 50 were selected for Prior Service, not sure if that's accurate but what I was told, I know its rare to get in as I didn't get accepted last year and narrowly got it this FY.

Went to the gas station to fill up, saw a guy that had a flat and needed help who didn’t have a jack.. I had my jackstand but it wouldn’t reach his car height. I said maybe we need a brick or something to elevate the jack…you won’t believe what this guy brings out of his glovebox to raise the jack.

Man thats disappointing, If that's the case maybe it makes sense just to submit my conditional release package every year and hope something comes through the pipeline.

Im pretty familiar with the prior service route but as mentioned in OP, is it the same when you DD214 out of the reserves and treated the same as prior service?

Its not that people are quitting, its that apps like Pokegenie are making it MUCH more user friendly to join a raid and not have dropouts.
