I'm sure they're a popular spot. Expand I just went back and checked my email invite from 2018 and there were about 40 email addresses on it. Not sure how many they typically invite for formal interviews. 1

stangles Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Quote For the upcoming meet and greet at the 457th, even if you didn't get an invite Expand This seems to imply invites for a meet and greet have gone out already, am I reading too much into this statement? Any others confirm/deny invites have been sent for a meet and greet with the 457th?

Was just throwing the idea out to see if we could get a group of guys to go even if we didn't get an invite. Assuming they don't ID us.

I could see this showing persistence and even though they didn't invite you this could swing chances for an interview in your favor. Thoughts?Personally, I think that sounds like bad form.Plus, if you don't have a CAC, they probably wouldn't let you on the base anyway. If they do formal invitations for meet and greets, showing up uninvited would almost be like showing up on the interview weekend after they told you they weren't interested. If you're showing up when they've already looked at your package and ruled you out, you're just wasting their time.Maybe someone from the 457th can answer with authority, but it's probably safe to assume that no means no.Sent from my SM-N975U using Baseops Network mobile app

A few people I've talked to heard outright "no" but I haven't heard anything since submitting a couple weeks back.

benr1001 Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 I applied to Cheyenne as well, haven't heard anything but interviews should be Thursday so I'm outta luck. A guy I visited with said he got a call for an interview like two weeks ago, even though the deadline wasn't til the 27th.

benr1001 Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Seems a little odd that they'd pick people well before the application deadline, and not really fair to the people applying if they've already picked but I get that they wanted to give people plenty of notice and they can do whatever they want

We'll see.

We'll see. Expand Weird, cause I know that one guy has an interview on the 5th but nobody else I've talked to has heard anything. I know half of them just deployed too, so that may also complicate things 1

CavGuy Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Thanks all for the info. Maybe they are staggering interviews.
benr1001 Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Ah well. That was my first time applying anywhere, getting an interview first shot would have been too easy! But man as a college student this is gonna get expensive fast.

Expand What I've heard (beginning of February) is that they are going to let people know in about a month about the meet and greet and/or application. My thought is that they had a high number of applicants and wanted to narrow it down sooner rather than later and they are working the details of the meet and greet. I'd imagine we would probably hear something shortly after their March UTA either way. 1
