It's not rumor mill. They're doing it at that time to allow squadrons to do job drops tomorrow afternoon.3:50? That's an odd time of day to chose for such an important event that will define the next 5 years of the lives of about a thousand people. Are we sure this isn't the rumor mill at work?
And this is a bit early in the year. Upside is this gives 2023 some time to learn more about the world they'll be entering in the next year. Reach out.
We got a lot of happy soon to be pilots!3:50MT or 5:50EST which is me. I couldn’t hardly sleep last night thinking about this. These last years have absolutely flown by and today is the day. I pray all the firsties get their first choice off their dream sheet. Fingers crossed for you son.
How much of the class usually wants to be a pilot? Seems like the most sought after oneMy son received his first choice, PILOT !! So excited and very relieved.
My son said that there were over 500 pilot slots given this year. He got a Space Force slot and is very happyI would venture a guess that at least half of a class but probably a little more want to go Pilot.
Class of 2022 Graduation... 973 graduated, 417 Pilot assignmentsHow much of the class usually wants to be a pilot? Seems like the most sought after one
I haven't heard this but please let us know if you hear anything!I heard a rumor (woah a cadet saying that something is rumor) that the 24ers might get their jobs around ring dance. Thoughts?
The number of pilot slots awarded to '22 seems a bit low given the acute pilot shortage. My class saw just over 1,000 graduate with more than 600 receiving pilot slots and I graduated over 15 years ago during a time when the AF had nearly the number of pilots it required. Interesting...Class of 2022 Graduation... 973 graduated, 417 Pilot assignments
I strongly doubt that they will be rolled into 2024 as the service needs to try to keep a relatively level population across the year groups. If they aren't going to usafa cadets then they'll allow more from other commissioning sources.My senior said there were like 427 pilot slots given and like 50 given back unfilled. Do those slots got to ROTC or OTS or rolled into class of 2024 ?
