Air Force announces OTS selection boards results

5/29/2012 - JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) -- A total of 283 men and women from across America have earned an opportunity to become Air Force leaders following their selection for an officer's commission, officials here announced May 29.

Air Force Recruiting Service officials considered 960 applications as part of the Officer Training School Non-Rated Selection Board 12OT02.

With the board's selection rate of 28.4 percent, 273 applicants were selected to serve as Air Force officers. Of the 273 selected, 123 enlisted members earned the chance to attend OTS and trade their stripes for gold bars as second lieutenants.

Additionally, Air Force Recruiting Service officials considered 62 weather officer applications as part of the OTS Non-Rated Weather officer selection board 12OTCAD. With the board's selection rate of 16.13 percent, 10 applicants were selected to serve as weather officers. Of the 10 selected, seven enlisted members earned the chance to attend OTS and trade their stripes for gold bars as second lieutenants.

As part of the selection process, board members review both objective and subjective factors. Objectively, the board considers each applicant's academic discipline, grade point average and Air Force Officer Qualifying Test scores.

Subjectively, board members evaluate work experience, accomplishments, adaptability, character, leadership ability, potential for future growth and other recommendations. For active-duty enlisted members, performance reports and commanders' recommendations are also evaluated.

Three Air Force colonels review every application. The selection process is similar to an Air Force officer promotion board. No single factor leads to an individual's selection or non-selection, according to OTS selection officials.

People selected can expect to attend Basic Officer Training at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., in the latter part of 2012 and into 2013.

For more information concerning OTS and the application process, active-duty members should contact their local education office; civilians should contact the nearest Air Force recruiter.

I believe that the selection should be based on the best packages. Our leadership also must take into consideration the investment and experience of current enlisted. Many enlisted folks would make great officers, but few apply and few get accepted. I think it is great that the selection rate for prior enlisted was fairly decent. With that said not all enlisted can make that jump to the officer world and because of that there needs to be scrutiny on all packages to select the best. I believe the results were fair.

I understand the circle of life here acessions need to continue even as we RIF the standing force. The 50 percent-ish number of stripes to bars movements here makes me a little uneasy... I'd like to know what the prior-E application vs. acceptance rate is. I think in a time where we need to do more with less we stand a greater chance at a robust jr. officer force by capitalizing on the investment we're making in growing people when they were airmenNCOs. Kudos to all I just hope we're using this program in the best possible way
