Enlisted members selected for OTS Published June 2, 2009 325th Fighter Wing Public Affairs TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Air Force officials recently notified two Tyndall Airmen of their selection for Officer Training School, chosen amongst 798 other applicants of whom only 200 were selected altogether. Congratulations to Tyndall's OTS selects: Tech. Sgt. Timothy Williams, 372nd Training Squadron, Det. 4, F-22 Crew Chief Instructor Senior Airman Ryan Bailey, 325th Air Control Squadron Weapons Technician Of the 200 selected, 35 enlisted members earned the chance to attend OTS and trade their stripes for gold bars as second lieutenants. 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 nonselection, according to OTS selection officials. People selected can expect class assignment information approximately eight weeks after their commissioning physical is certified. For more information concerning OTS and the application process, active-duty members should contact their local education office; civilians should contact the nearest Air Force recruiter.
