It's been three years...

For all the guys that got a call back within weeks, let me just say.... screw off!!!
For all the guys that it took years, a ton of recommendation foraging, a check airman letter, a bunch of volunteer positions, a career fair or two, 1000s of hours of TPIC, and a lot of worrying, let me just say that it will happen. I know it can be frustrating but hang in there. It will happen.

It was 19 months for me. Over 10,000 hours when I first applied. I was in class less than six months after the first email contact.

Over 4 years for me. I was not at all qualified when I started applying. Just kept it up and worked on different ways to "check boxes". Stayed optimistic and pushed for it and finally got the call. Never gave up.

Okay great.. thanks for all the replies.

The problem with your question is there is no real answer. How long it takes depends on each individual and their situation. You can't say that based on X quals, it will take Y time.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

So....

....that really was your question, huh?

It took almost exactly a year after applying and getting a cp rec to getting the first email. From the time I got the initial email to the time I was in class was approximately 2.5 months. I attended a job fair, had multiple internal recs. I'm a heavy mil guy mostly. I know guys that are still waiting after multiple years, and others that got the hogan invite after applying only 2 months earlier. There really is no way to know what your timeline will look like.
Good luck!

I've been applying for four years...
Been told repeatedly that I have a great app.

Also, you may check out the "Who's been hired" thread under Major->Stickies. Many folks put their complete timelines on there.
