Delay results in higher selection rate for OTS Non Rated selection board 15OT02 Published May 1, 2015 By Air Force Recruiting Public Affairs JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas -- A total of 394 men and women from across America have earned an opportunity to become Air Force leaders following their selection for an officer's commission, officials announced today. Air Force Recruiting Service officials considered 599 applications as part of the Officer Training School Non Rated Selection Board 15OT02. With the board's selection rate of 65.78 percent, 394 applicants were selected to serve as U.S. Air Force officers. Of the 394 selected, 192 enlisted members earned the chance to attend OTS and trade their stripes for gold bars as second lieutenants. Originally scheduled to be released April 10, the delay was considered "a good thing" for applicants, said Brig. Gen. James C. Johnson, AFRS commander. "The release date was delayed to better posture AFRS to meet fiscal 2016 requirements. It also meant we were able to add more people to the list, ensuring that we had the right number of officers with the right skill sets," Johnson said. As part of the selection process, board members review both objective and subjective factors. Objectively, the board considers each applicant's academic discipline, grade point average and Air Force Officer Qualifying Test scores. Subjectively, board members evaluate work experience, accomplishments, adaptability, character, leadership ability, potential for future growth and other recommendations. For active-duty enlisted members, performance reports and commanders' recommendations are also evaluated. Three Air Force colonels review every application. The selection process is similar to an Air Force officer promotion board. No single factor leads to an individual's selection or non-selection, according to OTS selection officials. Candidates selected can expect to attend Basic Officer Training at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama, in 2016. For more information concerning OTS and the application process, active-duty members should visit the Basic Officer Training website on the Air Force Portal; civilians should contact the nearest Air Force recruiter.
