CuriousGuy Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 A reply email I got today said.... "We are staffing the results now, but it looks like it will be early to mid-Jan before we are able to release them." Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy the holidays. We will see what 2019 brings.

I’d imagine there are eyes that need to look over it before he dives in and signs it. Can’t just walk into his office and ask him to sign it.. 1

Hefe Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Sounds like they need more time to sift through the selects to make sure no Tinker ABMs get picked up. Edited December 23, 2018 by Hefe

Uptapplicant2019 Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Anyone want to call AFPC for an update? I'm running out of alias's for my random calls.

The way AFPC works, I wouldn’t hold your breath on there being any additional information coming out until the new year
MSCguy Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 I’m thinking we won’t know anything until the week of the 14th. AFPC probably won’t get going again until the week after New Years.
Padre Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Good luck to everyone in 2019. I hope all your "New Year, New You" plans work out.
Rated2014 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Come on AFPC!!! Let's make some new years resolutions happen!! I volunteer to call everyone; just send me the list.
Rated2014 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Rumor alert: I have no solid source for this, but the estimate from leadership on my end is that applicants number over 350 with around the same number of spots as last year. 😖 I'm going over my app trying to see how I feel about making top 25%. I'm a pilot only with good bullets, solid (90s) AFOQT, but a lousy GPA and 2/2 strat. Wing rec helps I think. Wife got me a PSVR for Christmas. If I don't get picked up I'll buy the new Ace Combat and cry into my headset for a year until the next board. 😂 1

Somehow I doubt USAFA and ROTC gobbled up all 300 of those additional slots.

Oh58drvr Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 I have a solid source that there were approx 260 ish applicants and 140 ish total slots this board for all positions...

Expand Your solid source sounds a lot better than my squadron's guess. Doubles our odds! I was starting to worry that this was going to be some freak year with loads of apps.
Can'tStopWon'tStop Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 We initially had like 20 already rated applicants for this board, and that was just in our ops group. I think the high volume of interest is only going up for the next few years.

Rated2014 Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 It's only an option for RPA guys from what I understood. I was told I'm not even allowed to crosstrain to ABM or CSO right now if I wanted to. The only way I can go is to pilot or stay RPA

Good luck!
CaptD Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 I JUST NEED TO KNOW, AFPC! This is like Who Wants to be a Millionaire when you give your final answer and Regis just stares at you for an ungodly amount of time.
