Here we go on the answers:

Original app submitted in Sep 06 & re-accomplished with new format on 7 Jan 07. I never got an email asking me to re-apply. I got the same email saying "thank you, but the position has been filled" like everyone else did. Looking at other related posts, I guess I got lucky with not having any problems posting a new app.

Background: USAF - AFSOC w/MC-130E/Hs (stationed Europe, Pacific, & Florida). Did OT&E for AFSOC for 2 years & just finishing up 5 years w/AFMC doing FCFs and DT&E (current & qualified in 20 variants of C-130).

Section III (Additional Qualifications) of the Flight Crew Supplement was checked for each area of overseas experience and block immediately below asked for any other special aviation qualifications. This is where I put the test background, IP/EP, Ops Officer, & FSO quals.

Hope this helps. If it makes any difference, I thought I had been lost in the new app shuffle too.
