Packer,
My assumption is you bolded past few yrs to highlight past yrs.
That does leave the question of when the past was the past?
wyo,
With sequestration on the line, and the AFA lowering admittance for 16 and 17, I would not in anyway, shape or form assume that they will be opening up more slots. I would assume it would match 14's class.
SP is a field that typically in the top chosen because there are cadets like my DS who have a 2nd career field planned from a different perspective. JAG. Intel and SP is that path, maintenance isn't, nor acct. and finance.
You always need to have a plan B. Assume you will get EA, but now when you go up for AFSC, what is your plan B and C if you don't get A, which is SP? You still owe 4 yrs.
Always, always use your next step as a motivator for your current plan. It is a world you need to grasp. You plan SP, but now, is there a specialty within the SP world that you want? If so, that 1st assignment will parlay into the next to get that specialty.
It is like SFT/EA. You want that to become a POC and commission, but how well you perform at Maxwell will impact your AFSC OML. At SFT, you are working for the next step. The next step always has to be cognizant in your mind.
