October-ish 2015 Pilot/NFO Rolling Board

[Phoenix19917]

Just got told I was PQ'd by N3M so looks like I will make this board, hoping for a high selection rate like previous boards. Stats are in my profile but ASTB is 49 5,6,5 not the strongest but was urged to submit and if passed over I can just retake and resubmit. Good Luck to all !

Anybody know what the stats have been like lately? This is my first aviation board, curious to see what selection rates have been like historically.

Last board had 95% selection rate.

 

[Derek O]

Holy hell. Is that really typical?

Holy hell. Is that really typical?

Historically, I think that is one of the higher selection rates but apparently they have been quite high recently.

 

[Derek O]

Not bad at all. I didn't realize they were that high.

I think that was for SNA, wasn't NFO lower?

The requirement for needing to be PQ before the board flushes out quite a few

 

[Derek O]

The recruiter I spoke to when I took my ASTB mentioned he thought NFO was around 35% late last year. So that was the only figure I had to go off of.

That's what I heard, and fortunately I received a PQ letter about 3 weeks after I submitted my package. I was pretty stoked about that.

I apologize if this is a silly question, but what does PQ entail and does it to a civilian applicant like me?

 

[Derek O]

It's a medical screening that determines whether you're Physically qualified or Not Physically Qualified to perform in a certain job. SNA and SNFO have more in depth medical screenings.

You could be correct sir.

Thank you kindly. Now is this something my recruiter would inform me about if I was PQ or NPQ? I ask because I had to get a weight waiver. (I'm a short guy but muscular, so my weight was out of proportion, but my body fat was a-ok.) I appreciate it.

I'm sure he would. If you've already completed your SNA commissioning physical (or whatever they might call it in the civilian world) your recruiter would likely receive the letter. I'd check in with him from time to time on the matter.
