      2026 ACTIVE DUTY UFT BOARD

      By LawnmowerofDoom · Posted

      Honestly it's anybody guess what the board is looking for. I imagine there has to be some sort of expectations based on rank. Not sure a senior captain with all the boxes for major is comparable to an lt when getting selected but the board has taken both.  I'm 99p/99pcsm no ppl but did IFT as an RPA guy. 100 pt test 4.0 MBA from a small private school (applied to OTS while in grad school). Have a 6 month "combat" deployment and letter of rec is my 04 deployment commander.  I was 4/4 in my squadron so dont know if I even made it past the group. Coming out of existing rated I'm just hoping I make it to the board as my wing typically has double digit applicants and they have gates up to limit those from trying to crosstrain. The rumorint was if you're scores arent in the 90s dont bother.

      Why should they get retirement when they’ve done less than 18 yrs? They haven’t performed the requisite amount of service and therefore haven’t earned it. And they’re not getting medically discharged, so that angle is N/A.  Those 18+ YOS are getting it, which again isn’t earned, but good for them; I won’t hate the player and don’t blame them for getting it. I imagine there are some dipshit leaders who stupidly made promises they couldn’t back up, but that’s not the DoD’s fault.

      2026 ACTIVE DUTY UFT BOARD

      By JASSM_ER · Posted

      Hey everyone, I'm a new applicant looking for a reality check with my package. I'm not sure whether to be optimistic or not and I'd like help setting my own expectations for the board.  Graduated last year from AFROTC with a technical degree, 3.29 GPA Straight to AFIT where I'm getting a graduate certificate (not a master's), 3.2-3ish GPA, no DG program, no education ADSC 94 Pilot AFOQT, 99 PCSM, Private Pilot License (finished while in grad school), fully qualified medical, decent extracurriculars  I went straight to AFIT from AFROTC, so I have no operational experience. My mentor who wrote my letter of recommendation (O-6 fighter pilot) and I tried to leverage my leadership experiences from AFROTC to make up the deficiency in this category, but obviously that's not going to compare to a deployment, exec experience, etc. I'm really hoping for ENJJPT, but realistically I'm doubtful about getting selected at all. Thoughts?

      It sucks to give TERA then take it away, regardless of the person's sexual orientation.  I don't necessarily understand the trans movement (probably never will). That being said, if they were promised retirement and it was taken away, then that's bad form.
