The MPF gets the full list and sends it to DP shops. Sometimes either MPF or DP will filter results.... but not usually. Wing kings usually get full list/pdsms
No, not common
It's the time period to draft letters, etc. the group/CCs will be asking for the results, but most cases won't get it till 4 days prior to public release. Notification varies
1. You dont have any worse of a shot than anyone else who completes IDE online (assuming you did that)
2. If your record is strong enough to get selected for IDE, you will make Lt Col
3. You did others a disservice by taking a nomination from your two-star. Why didnt you just decline to compete in your myvector submission?
Like some have mentioned, strats are overinflated. Everyone is #1/something
each squadron seems to have 8 different stray categories and everyone looks great
the only real way to tell someone apart is to see who has the actual #1/rank strat. Static closeouts would help this out. But the band aid being ripped off would hurt.
