AECP Army FY 13 Candidate

dccubano · Aug 15, 2012

Thanks. I like to put out positive energy whenever I can. I am starting my program Aug.27 at the University of Maryland. I applied to schools in Colorado and VA, and was three for three, so it made things a lot less stressful. The post board packet was much easier to put together. The most difficult thing I found in pre and post was tracking people down for signatures. I am lucky that I made it in under the FY12 guidelines. I saw they changed time in service to 10 years or less at time of commissioning. I will be starting school with 13 years of service and will probably pick up my 2lt between 15 and 16 years. It's all in the timing. :)

LOL..... I thought I was the only one who checked the MILPER messages religously. I am hoping the wait is not that long either.... It is relieving to hear that other people are feeling the same as I am about this selection board.

[color=#000000][color=#000000]the biggest thing i would suggest that you can do right nowis look at various schools and see what their pre-reqs are and make sure yourcredits transfer. if you can get anunconditional letter of acceptance to a qualifying college to put in yourpre-board packet, i think that would go a long way. the fy13 required that you be with 9 credithours of be fully accepted. i'm notsure, but with budgetary cutbacks, you will want to be as competitive aspossible. i would also suggest going toacs and do community service, preferably at the mtf, and get your volunteerservice medal. other than that, you willhave to wait for the fy14 guidelines to come out to see the changes. if you read the conversation above withdccubano, you can see the guidelines became tougher this year.

I am also glad to see that I am not the only person who is constantly refreshing, and patiently awaiting the board results... Good luck to everyone, I am so excited/nervous to find out!

you are not! I think I am doing the same!

I just want to know how most people found out about the program? I found out from an ROTC officer

shmegan20 · Aug 24, 2012

I found out from my 1SG at my first duty station... literally I have met maybe 5 people total that even know what it is.... they either think it is IPAP or Green to Gold... how did you hear?

Lntramel · Aug 28, 2012

I found out through a coworker who was thinking about doing the PA program. I wonder what is taking so long with posting the results.

Edu_ml · Aug 28, 2012

Yea, most people think its gree to gold- i had to pull in lots of resources to get memos and other reqs. I also had to put lots of time to get my classes that i was missing- i am a line medic and training dont stop cause of school. But anyway like i said, an ROTC officer hooked me up with the info. There was also an email i received for a brief regarding the different options out there like ipap but i was a efmb so i dont know how it was or what other programs they talked anout.The program manage and a mr ward were very helpful also in answering my questions. I wonderhow many people applied this year - and also why is it taking this long! Good luck to all!
