A Cadre member shared the 2015 rated board averages with me today. I attached a screenshot of the email.
I thought the average PCSM for pilot last year was 64?

Just got official word of the new Order of Merit score weighting factors for this year's board. See attachment.
Joekenny,
So PCSM is now 40% instead of 15%? Was this from cadre at your detachment?

PCSM was always 40%, that factor remained unchanged.
If I remember correctly, the last rated board was commanders ranking at 50%, GPA at 15%, PFA at 10%, Field Training at 10%, and PCSM at 15%. This should be the first time that PCSM was ever at 40%.
You really won't be able to predict how much it will help until after you take the TBAS. When you find out your PCSM, it'll tell you what your score will become with the addition of "X" hours. Typically most cadets see the greatest 'value' at 20 hours.I have a 53 on the pilot portion of the AFOQT but have yet to take the TBAS so I have no idea what my current PCSM is yet. However, I am about to get 15 hrs of training in a C-172. Based off of past experiences how much will 15 flight hours come into play with PCSM 2.0?
Just in time to fly solo hah.You really won't be able to predict how much it will help until after you take the TBAS. When you find out your PCSM, it'll tell you what your score will become with the addition of "X" hours. Typically most cadets see the greatest 'value' at 20 hours.
Ah, 3 Jan 16 was the last day to update PCSM (TBAS and Flying Hours). 14 Jan was the last day to nominate and update data. All they are doing from here on out is verifying data between dets and HQ then they meet on 1 Feb 16. Slots are planned to be released on 8 Feb 16 if people didn't know.I have a 53 on the pilot portion of the AFOQT but have yet to take the TBAS so I have no idea what my current PCSM is yet.

Every job can be a good job, but everyone still has a preference. I'm sure if I don't get a pilot slot I'll be disappointed, not because whatever else I get wouldn't be as good of a job or something, but rather because I wasn't selected for my preference.So in relation to getting or not getting a slot, what do you guys think of the phrase, "Every job in the Air Force is a good job."?
