ecc97 Posted April 19, 2022 Posted April 19, 2022 Has anyone heard anything from the 100th (Montgomery F-35's)? Sent and email to tier POC but haven't heard back. Figured I'm SOL but want to check.

I was also beginning to think it was getting pretty late in the game to not have heard anything, so still holding out hope, but recognizing this ship may have sailed. Either way, keeping that hope and positive energy alive!

Expand Same, no word from 121st, the confirmation email said first-round interviews were set for April so they probably already sent invites already. Got the TBNT from 118th this week. Has anybody heard from the 77th refueling out of NC?

Yeah I'm thinking if we don't hear anything by next week from the 100th or the 121st, that likely means they've already gotten their interviewees lined up, just based on when they plan on having their in-person interviews (I believe the 100th noted it'd be the 1st weekend in May, and the 121st the following weekend). But, hey, it ain't over 'till the fat lady sings! And nothing from the 77th either...hopefully one of us can hear something soon! Also awaiting to hear from the 171st ARW...unless someone has already heard something? I believe that their interview notifications should go out in the next week or two if they haven't already. Great group of folks there, and in a really pretty area, too. Best of luck y'all--keep grinding!

I’m not sure if they will continue or if all have been sent already. Best of luck!

Seems like this was one of the most competitive boards this year, wondering how I stand in the face of all the competition. Edited April 20, 2022 by red
GreenArc Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 Thanks for the head's up @Auspicious Aviator and @red -- just got the TBTN email from the 100th as well. Bummer, but staying on the grind! Best of luck to those interviewing!

cheraypaja Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 Anyone hear back one way or another from the 171st yet?

They said it’d be about 2 weeks after submission that we’d hear back, and my initial assumption was that’d we’d start getting word one way or the other this coming work week…so, hopefully we’ll all get some good news this coming week! 1

The hill I have chosen to die on is fighters or take my ball and go home, so I am nervously waiting as well.
GreenArc Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 What's up y'all! Still no word on my end from the 171st ARW, 121st FS, or the 77th ARS. Definitely would seem it's down to the wire for the 121st, giving their stated timing...still hanging onto the positive vibes and potential! Hopefully we can all hear something soon from the 171st ARW and/or 77th ARS. My guess was that this would be the first week we'd hear anything from the 171st ARW, and didn't really have a feel for the 77th ARS, tbh. So, potentially still relatively early in the process for those, so keep looking at that glass half full. Best of luck y'all!
GreenArc Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 TBNT received from the 171st--best of luck to those who may have gotten an interview! Everyone else, keep your chins up and keep grinding!

Expand Yeah man, it was a great visit, but maybe this is a hint that I may need to think on how I present/interact at them; gotta learn and grow! And I'm also a few years past the 33 year-old mark with a PPL in progress, but not done yet (should be done next month--just need to wrap my solo XC hours next week and then schedule my check ride!), but still--those are two big knocks on me right out of the gate. But, two of those things noted above are fixable, and while the age may not be, I know from personal experience there are units willing to bring on old dawgs like myself! So, just trying to stay positive, visiting everywhere I can, applying everywhere I can, and I've got faith that the good Lord will place me where I'm supposed to be... ...and I believe the same for y'all, too! Hang in there--hope we can all share some good news here soon! 1 1
cheraypaja Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 I got the TBNT from 171st as well, this was my first application, is it worth reaching out for feedback? Best of luck on future boards everyone!

There are ALOT of ETPs (they mark each person with an age limit waiver with asterisk) and I even saw one for a fighter squadron. They are rare but do happen if you have good rapport with the squadron. 1 2

Definitely great to hear, and I’m certainly not letting the age factor keep me from pursuing the dream! Doing a lot of rushing this spring and summer, so hopefully building some great, genuine connections to build on. Thanks again for the intel and encouragement!
