There are so many things that could factor in but I can tell you that your are not alone. Two years or more wait is actually very common, even among the military applicants. Have you gone to a interview prep company yet? They are worth their price for the insight they provide. They track who gets called and hired and who does not. They know what works and what could get your app rejected.
Whatever you do, don’t give up. Consistent and regular updates to your app is heavily weighted at all of the big 3. Take half an hour each week and update your times.
AA recruitment claims to have 17,000 apps on file, 9,000 they consider competitive. At 30 - 45 OTS new hires per month, it takes a while to be one who gets there number called out of 9,000 eager applicants.
