Arkbird Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 Nice! I'm hoping I get picked up but I'm not super hopeful based on past info/scores/strats. Rooting for you @BANDIT_K. Hope the new unit is treating you well!
OldmanUFT21 Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 Hey y’all! New here been lurking forever but finally made an account. Good luck to everyone and I hope we hear soon!Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
BackseatBallast Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 Thanks for the gouge, hope they are able to push the results out in the next few weeks!
TrashPanda Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 Just hoping the results don't get delayed a month. I heard last year they took a long time to release. Last years released basically when it was anticipated, even with the Texas Storms. Their submission and board dates were a month after this years and they received results early/mid-Feb.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app 1 1
Init2 Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 Yeah I saw that too, my bet would be Jan 11 or 12. Maybe…. Lol
OldmanUFT21 Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 I am hoping for commanders to know next week and public the week after! 1

Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app I don't remember off-hand but like 60s. I took the AFOQT back in like 2014 when I was first applying for OTS. My PCSM is an 80 though so that and my LOR/personal letter are my only saving grace. 1

Yeah I am a numbers guy and worry about the same thing. My big dilemma is deciding if I would accept my second choice if offered. I only debate it because I feel like I could have a great package by next year, but don’t want to get to old and miss all opportunities lol. I’m not much of a gambling man, so it’s hard!

OldmanUFT21 Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 This is my last chance for rated I believe so I will accept whatever they choose for me! I started my dream a little late as I was a crew chief for 15 years before getting my commission. 2nd time applying and increased most of my scores through the RPP program which was a blast! 2
Init2 Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 Good luck man, same here, this will be my last go around.
ZE14 Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 Good luck to all, this is my 2nd and last attempt too. If I don't get it this time I'm gonna sign the bonus for my current rated job and call it a day. 2

On a side note I’m Not trying to be the Debbie downer or bearer of bad news, and not sure which rated job you currently have, but rumor is at least for us RPA folk….that bonus is going away for those coming eligible in FY23. Now this is rumor mill intel so let’s all take it with a grain of salt. But more importantly let’s hope we all get picked up for whatever new job we are gunning for on this board! 2

Yeah I'm an RPA guy and heard that rumor too. I'm eligible for this bonus dropping here soon which should be fy22 if I'm not mistaken. But knowing my luck it'll go away too.
Arkbird Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Sounds like us RPA guys are getting the short end of the stick with regard to the bonus but maybe that just means our career field is finally healthy. Either way, I hope we're all selected for our first choice. 1 1
OldmanUFT21 Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Speaking of a bonus would there be an initial bonus for first time rated? I wouldn’t think there would be but I don’t know much about the bonus’s. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

BackseatBallast Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 All you RPA folk trying to jump ship really has me questioning my #2... 🤔 1
SurelySerious Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 All you RPA folk trying to jump ship really has me questioning my #2... Don’t worry. There’s not a morale or retention problem in any way, shape, or form in the Air Force.

Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app There isn't one for 1st time rated, just the bonus after your initial rated commitment if that year group/career field gets one. 1
SurelySerious Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Heh... And here I go trying to shackle myself for another 10. Truth, but don’t mistake the cynicism for aspects of it not being worth it. Everyone’s calculus is different, and may change over time. I have plenty of bros who were CSO types that managed UPT (and one even in RPA) slots that are enjoying it. The flying is definitely a highlight. 2
