They still pcs you, if it was your first fail, at least that was the case of a lt in my unit. The fail would just be remediate at your next base. To note: you would be required to take a test at your current base if your test expired within 30 days after you pcs as well to accomodate for climate acclimation issues etc.

Sigh i feel ya....i bet everyone who applied feels the same as you, even the guys who were picked up. Onto figuring out what i need to do to improve for next year...

Study both afoqt and tbas and retake. Gpa is on the low side with your degree, but they say the time is now to apply if you were ever going to apply. Active duty ots upt is very competitive and you'll need as high of afoqt and tbas scores as possible to disconflict what is shown with your gpa. Good luck.

Writing the first draft of your own letters of recommendation?

That's the general format that I've always used as well. For specifics in describing qualities, use examples of work you've done or volunteering you've done to back up those qualities. My 0.02 -
Yea...i didnt get picked up in 2016, so i applied to guard and got a slot but my palace chase got denied due to a pending pcs that i couldnt turn off. So here i am again...if it doesnt work out hopefully i can try that guard unit again. Good luck to everyone.

My assumption is that because the board is held by an O6 and other O5s, once they make their choices, it takes 1.5 weeks to staff for general officer level approval. Then AFPC is able to start the process of preparing the release, memos, etc (that's another 1.5 weeks). Then commanders and senior raters are notified first, and then a week after that the public release is announced, taking altogether ~4 weeks.

I think the edge with the captain would be he just has more responsibility in his day-to-day duties so his strat would be stronger with 1/X CGO, whereas the new Lt wouldn't get that 1/X CGO strat, unless they are that good. the rest of the push note would differ from a normal OPR (no school/assignment push), but would be pretty similar to the Lt push note for the 215 though I think, 1/X CGO, great officer etc. etc., select this board! I don't think they look at year groups, everyone applying to that board would just compete against each other.
-
the 1/1 strat stems from the Form 215 Aircrew Data Summary Sheet where they have a specific block (apart from the comments) that shows rater's strat of everyone applying for the board. If you're the only one applying; you're forced to put 1/1 on that block. The 1/X CGO strat is in the push-line in the comments block, much like in an OPR.

rumor is that they are highly selective this year because they are not taking in as many slots--looking at folks with 90+ PCSMs

hrm...I can't find the article release on myPers stating that (I'll need to look at the hardcopy I printed out...if I can find it)...anyways I originally applied for only Pilot, and then I called AFPC to check if they received my application, and the maj said he received it and but I needed to apply for all--I checked that myPers article and it was right, so I resubmitted the 215 (aircrew data summary). I find it strange though, that I can search any 2015 UFT PSDMs and notifications but nothing on 2016 UFTs. I read the official release of the 2015 UFT boards, and in it they said you are unable to decline an assignment offer without prejudice (i.e. if you got offered RPA, and you reject it you can't apply again)...but I remember reading prior to applying that you can decline and STILL apply again...JFC, what a cluster if they offer me RPA and I reject. well good luck to you!

If you haven't done so already; try retaking the TBAS, you're allowed two tests in a lifetime...unless you tested twice in the older format (prior to ~2013), they let you take it once more on the new format.

Private Pilot's Certificate / Private Pilot's License

I also heard this too...from a LtCol who was on the selection board for the 2015 class; they looked at whether or not you had a PPC and a PCSM of 90+. Of course that's not to say that if you didn't hit those scores you wouldn't be selected, but if you had a PPC and PCSM 90+ you had a very good chance. This is assuming you got a good letter of rec and did well in your current job etc. (which was pretty much the baseline for all applicants) so PPC and PCSM became the discriminator
