08 guy too. It would appear on the outside (without any further words on this matter other than an article) that the AF is taking the school slots that used to be awarded to the top ~15% or so of each year group promo board and adding them to the pot for the 1st-3rd looks. Last year I think there were around 350 school selects off the board. So wing commanders "should" be pushing more people for school on their looks. Now whether they are selected is a whole different argument and problem. What does this mean for the 08' year group I'm not sure. I could see this going two ways though. Wing/CC's could take advantage of this and push more 3rd look guys with the hope of getting them school or on the flip side push the top candidates regardless of look number or a combo of both.
This essentially gives Wing Commanders more control over who goes or is at least pushed for school and potentially more slots since those that were awarded off the board are now absorbed by the 3849 process. Should be interesting to see how this plays out. But definitely skeptical as to how the numbers pan out across the career fields and Wings.
Can we safely say that there is a high probability of finding out tomorrow or the next day? Or will AFPC try to surprise us with yet another standard delay.
If the Public Release is "Tuesday", doesn't leadership typically notify the members early for that surprise effect. If not, people would just find out by hitting up MyPers for the list when it's released to the general public.
Aren't the next wave of PRF's due soon? Not at work or I'd look up the timeline on mypers. Which would mean AFPC needs to hurry (assuming they have it by now) so commanders know who needs a PRF written.
My Pred FTU class had 3 C-17 pilots, a PC-12 pilot, a C-130 Pilot, a T-6 IP (former KC-135 pilot) and no UPT grads. I went through earlier this year...
