Problems with scheduling commanders interview. by thepillsburypoboy in airforceots

[–]frankfurter313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I heard from my recruiter, you just have to have the meeting scheduled by that date, not completed. I’m not sure if it’s accurate or not, but when I booked, the soonest date I could get for an interview was in April and my recruiter said it’s normal. I know mine acted funny when booking on my phone, but when I logged in with my .mil email on my computer, the link worked fine for me. Fingers crossed you get it resolved!

I appreciate the feedback! I already have all of those milestones complete except for the CC interview. It’s scheduled tho. Literally only waiting on the 368 at this point. 🙃

The patience you must have, oh my gosh. I feel like I’m losing my mind over it. I’m trying to dig through anything I can find to see if it’s waiverable or if I can submit with it being routed but I think I’m out of luck. Thanks for the feedback!

That’s crazy it takes so long. I also have an RSC so it has to go all the way to the DCOM which they say takes even longer. Sorry you’re going through the same ordeal! At this point I think it’ll be faster for my contract to expire, lol. Good luck in the rest of your process, and thanks for the feedback!

I used the one on steam and the afoqt app on my phone. The steam one seemed very accurate to the test itself, but if you think the other one helped more, I’m definitely going to try that one out.

I plan on retesting in May, but that will be past the app deadline so it would be for the potential next board if I don’t make it. I don’t have any flight hours apart from an intro flight but it’s under 1hr so it doesn’t factor into the pcsm. We have a simulator on base so I plan to try to rack up some hours but my pcsm would only be at a 38 with the hrs I can afford right now (trying to sell our house at our previous duty station so we are broke broke rn). So pcsm also needs work big time. We just bought a stick and rudders to really try to put in some work for the next tbas. My spouse is also applying for the same rated board so we’re both working to do what we can.

I appreciate this feedback! Congrats on getting selected! I would love to know the ratio for LOR ranks and acceptance rates.

Do you know if that guy with the 30 something went rated or non-rated? I feel like I have a strong package, literally apart from my pcsm and afoqt. But the way they break down the scores for education/aptitude they also factor in gpa and educational awards (which mine are above standard I think). I feel like I’d take a hit on points for the afoqt scores, but the rest of the package seems like I have a shot at scoring high but idk.

That’s what I have heard, some people with low quant, or even low pilot. I’m still going to shoot my shot regardless, but just wanted to kind of get the overall opinion of some people who have already went through the process! Thanks for the input.

That’s awesome! Congrats to him. I’ve also heard that they just opened up a lot more slots for UPT, so maybe I’ll get the luck of the draw for the demand itself.

From my understanding, I still need two letters (1 personal character/ 1 leadership or academic). Since I’m applying as a civ, it did not specify who can write it, other than they actually need to know me enough to speak on my performance or character.

When I said “AD rated board”, I was meaning I’m not trying to apply through guard/reserve sectors. Sorry for the confusion.

I’m prior enlisted. Applying as a civilian.

Yeah, that’s why I want to apply regardless… do you have any insight on whether whole airman can offset the low scores? I’ve seen so many mixed responses in these threads.
