Can they drop after business hours? After 1700?

There have been times in years past that the cadets get a phone call at night from the CoC to report the next day at a specific time, but overall Big Blue will drop on the same day. IOWS, the chances are even if they know what your AFSC will be they will not tell you after duty hours.
 
Heard they made a mistake and had to meet again but results should be out by the end of the week.

That is a surprising number for pilots, as in low.

If you look at the fact that between the 3 UPT bases + ENJJPT, and assuming that @500 will come from USAFA, than that totals out to be @150 less than just the 3 bases will wing within a FY. Add in ENJJPT you are about 250 less. My assumption those slots will go to OCS or xtrain AD members
~ Assume 14 classes with @ 25 each = 320. X3 = 960. + 180 for ENJJPT = 1140.
~~ 350 (AFROTC) + 500-550 (USAFA) leaves 250 for OCS.

Now if you add in the fact that at least 35% will wash out between IFT and UPT, the number would be around 1600 total per FY for pilot. I wonder if the number is that low because right now the wait time to start UPT is over a year...easy. Lowering the amount selected this year means they can reduce the wait time.
~ Back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, USAFA grads would start UPT within 60-90 days after graduation. Not so much now.

It will be interesting to also see if Big Blue backs off from only FY 16 will drop RPAs out of UPT. The RPA world is bleeding so badly now that they are pulling from the heavy world after their 1st assignment. That is going to bite them in a few years...sorry, but right about when you guys will wing. The reason why is those heavy pilots will now be sent back into the rated world.

Do you think that the majority of people who put RPA as their first pick will get it as long as their stats are at or above average?

Is this stating that everyone got what they wanted besides 8 people who put RPA as medium?

Not exactly. You can put high for more than one thing to increase your chances. I know cadets in my Det did that. But if you put med/low for anything it's looking like you didn't get that.

Only put pilot as high and I put RPA as low so...Idk...I'm just trying to relax till we get our results!
 
I think realistically, if you have even average numbers and you rated RPA high, you'll have a good chance of getting it from what it sounds like.
 
Does anyone know if ENJJPT slots get awarded with the rated slots or are they decided later?
 
This waiting game is gonna be fun... does anyone think that we will hear midweek or is Friday the consensus?
 
Nice that cadets got mostly what they wanted based on that email. Fingers crossed for all you guys.
