I thought I was borderline to pull a DP at the MLR and but at a minimum this helps for IPZ next year. Good luck to IPZ folks getting their PRFs back the next couple weeks with the good boxed checked.
Champ Kind Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 1/3 BPZs with a pretty strong push line.

Congrats. The DP at least gets you in the correct pile at the board. No chance without that.Your actual chances of selection are based on several things. First, it has to be more than just your PRF and OPR on top. If you’ve got a string of OPRs with #1 rank/grade based wing strats (ie, #1/100 Wg Capts....not 1/35 IPs), that’s good. If you’ve got multiple DGs (not the least of which from SOS), that’s even better. Jobs with proven leadership and responsibilities are a must. Your PRF being signed by a GO or at least a wing CC of a large wing is a decent boost too. Finally, being at the top of a large denominator of eligibles really helps. I’ve seen SRs actually push some BTZs above IPZs by stratting then as 1/XX eligibles (not just BTZ) with a push that said something like “1/XX eligibles ahead of X IPZ....he’s that good.” You have all of those things, and you’re definitely in decent shape. If only one or two or only shades of what I described, I’d put your chances in the single digits as mentioned in the post above. Either way, I’d use this year’s process (and your BTZ DP) as a positive indication that you’ll make it IPZ (in case you’re trying to make life plans as far as getting out/staying in). 1

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I didn't realize DP allocations were separate for BPZ and I/ABZ. So what was the DP BPZ allocation this year? Anyone have an idea historically what percentage of DP BPZs get promoted?
osulax05 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) BPZ DP allocation was 15%. Last year, BPZ pilots with IDE had a ~44% select rate if I recall correctly. Edited January 27, 2019 by osulax05 1
Skitzo Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 BPZ DP allocation was 15%. Last year, BPZ pilots with IDE had a ~44% select rate if I recall correctly. They will fix the glitch in manning by promoting more BPZ. Honestly it is smart you don’t need to be a Lt Col to be a commander. Now because they have to be they will make them sooner.

bennynova Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Last 5 years, DP rate for IPZ was 55% all of the 55% make it (for the most part) plus the next 15%.... around 70% DP tate for BPZ was 10% roughly 25% of the 10% make it there are more BPZ than IPZ, so it end up being 75% these are estimated. Don’t hold me to it.

Epiloo Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 A large percentage of BPZs wouldn’t have attended school yet so it’s not something for a board to take into consideration anyway as a determining factor.

This is technically true. Also, if the board is specifically instructed not to consider in-res vs non-res then it shouldn't matter (in a perfect world). Of course, unless Wg/CCs are also instructed to not consider in-res vs non-res in their allocation of DPs, it is still an issue.

Senior raters are instructed to not consider whether someone has completed IDE in corespondence when making nominations for IDE in Res central board and when determining DP allocation for BPZ. However, I think it’s a pretty safe assumption some, not all, senior raters and/or MLR members ignore this guidance. One thing is for certain: Completing an in-res IDE program or being en route to an in-res IDE program is a trump card for BPZ consideration and, at a minimum, makes you a lock IPZ.

I had a former OG and WG commander state in no uncertain terms that they absolutely used correspondence as a discriminator for in res after your first look. That WG/CC is now wearing a star. I think it's safe to assume they treated DP the same way.

celtic020 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I feel fortunate my senior rater (Air Force 2-Star) did not use correspondence as a discriminator for in-res nominations. I had almost none of it done when I got selected for in-res. At least some folks are following the guidance, which actually makes sense. Using correspondence as a discriminator means they actually want you to do IDE twice....which is as dumb as it sounds. 1

pawnman Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Here I thought you guys were talking about using the method of completion as a discriminator, not doing it by correspondence first to get picked up in residence. Edited January 29, 2019 by pawnman
