Hey Team,

Congratulations again to those who got selected again this year as either primary or alternates. Does anyone know who actually was selected or more importantly what their qualifications are? I.E. did they have graduate education, prior enlisted aviation experience, A&P certificate, pilots certificates, etc.

I see this is not the most active thread this time of year, but I was hoping to get some insight from those of you who have been selected for AMDO. Does everyone get appointed as an Ensign? I am curious because many other fields across the other services direct commission officers at much higher starting ranks based on their education and experience. I am thinking about applying for AMDO at some point in the future but prior to I would like to know ahead of time if that is the only rank/grade you can enter as. Money isn't everything, but if I was activated at that low a rank I would be losing 50k a year and that would be hard to handle. And I am a NAVAIR employee and veteran already so I wouldn't be able to take advantage of the low-cost Tricare insurance or other military benefits I already have access to. So the only benefit to me would be fulfilling my desire to continue to serve. Hoping someone on here can share their experience with me.

Hey sir, I've been seeking one of these spots for the last few years with no luck thus far. I happen to be a mobilized SELRES Enlisted person, and I'm fortunate that my civilian employee offers me differential pay. I know a number of government entities offer similar differential pay as a few other guys and gals in my unit are recipients of this. If you read the Program Authorizations I believe you can see that some programs allow for folks to come in at higher than 0-1, but AMDO and AEDO appear not to be one of these programs. You can always re-enlist!

AMDO/AEDO doesn't need to offer entry grade credit because it's not really an "on demand" designator.

Concerning losing money... most companies offer some sort of leave / plan to cover the difference if you were on military orders.

I'm currently working on my DCO package for the AMDO program. So far, I have a great amount of support from the SELRES AMDO Community.
I've been told I'm a strong candidate with having over ten years of Maintenace on F/A-18s, H-60R/S, C-130s, C-5s and Even the F-22s. Being a current CH-53K Senior Engineer working closely with NAVAAIR and currently a student pilot. As well, a 3.36 GPA for my Business Administration degree with an AS in Avionics System Technolgy. Has anyone recently gone through the DCO Board for AMDO?

Hey friend, yeah my experience has also been that all of the senior officers are very supportive. It sounds like you are very experienced! I think we have a lot of great people applying each year. This will be my third application. Best of luck, and may the best of us win! - Jordan

Hey team, does anyone know where we can find the official title to input into the To: line for this year's board? I think last year it was titled, "The Reserve Aviation Maintenance Duty Officer Selection Board". Thanks!
