kevster,
I can promise you, you need to take the log book with you. DS called us to bring it to him, so he could take it to the test. As a non-tech major, every point counts. Flight hours tell the AF that you have been at the controls of an airplane, the more hours, such as solo or PPL, the more confident they feel you will succeed at IFS and UPT. This is a game of chance for them. The more they feel comfortable with their chances the better. It is like their perception that tech majors are better candidates than non-techs. They are looking to create a lower risk regarding tax payer dollars. It isn't personal, it is business.
ryguy,
Kevster was correct when I said your major, as in nursing is considered a critically undermanned field, just like EE's were last yr. It not only happened at Det 330 (Kevster's), but across the nation, I know there is a thread regarding how even SMC dets did not release EE's for UPT. The same was true for certain language majors (Arabaic/Farsi, for example).
As for the Command support, I should have said Commander's support. You need to take the TBAS, and to do so the det. will set up the time for it. This is not like the AFOQT, where you all take it on one day. It is a one by one test, at det 330, they go to Andrews AFB, it is not given at the det. The det schedules the date and time, not you. Thus, to go for the test your unit knows this is your intention. In our DS's yr group a couple of yrs ago, they didn't send everyone, be it because of academic grades, medical issues or AFSC reasons, they felt it was a waste of time and money to test them when they would not be competitive for the rated board.
That was his det., it could be different at your det.
Additionally, the cadets understood this because this was their polite way of saying if you press it, and take the test, I am not going to rank you high enough on your OML to be competitive against your peers. The CoC is part of that OML, and points are awarded for their input. Granted TY that % is much lower, and now the cgpa/TBAS have increased, but it is still part of the OML. 20% is still a huge chunk, especially if you feel that your cgpa/pft are not on the high end. It takes about 10-14 days to get your TBAS result.
FWIW, I remember when DS took his TBAS, the reason you may have difficulty finding test questions on the net is due to the fact that cadets are told that they cannot share what was asked, even with other cadets. Sharing the info will cause a world of pain if they find out you did. I.E. goodbye!
Like kevster, I have never heard of a nursing student get a UPT slot in the 4 yrs I have been here on this site. I am not saying it doesn't happen, but take a step back and ask why would they do this for a critical field?
Talk to your Commander, obviously as a 300 you have at least an idea how it worked for the nursing students in your det over the past few yrs. Kevster and I could be 1000% wrong, pm me and I will give you my home address to send me crow pie to eat. However, asking it here, is just delaying your real chance to find out the truth. Only your CoC will be able to find out officially if you can even go for a rated board.
