I would really like to have an insight into how AFPC is actually making the decisions. From talking to others, there are so many identical applications and apparently the "first come - first served" rule was bogus, because some who sent their apps in well after others are getting it. No one in my year group from my base got it "due to manning". I thought that's why they were offering it...? It's all a mistery to me, but I'm curious if anyone has talked to someone "on the inside". (Tanker Dan congrats...)

My other concern is all the people now getting out in the next year sending apps out to all the Guard/Reserve units at the same time makes it that much more competative for me!!
