No clue but Covid has changed the game I feel like. Granted he applied to only 40 civilian programs so that might have played a role. He said getting civilian deferred is like a luck of draw for the Air Force and a certain number get stuck doing the prelim year.

Yeah COVID seems to have really screwed with the civilian world. As far as CIV deferred in the AF, that’s not what we were presented nor what any of the AF folks I know have said. But the people who are the ones who get stuck doing a prelim year are of course going to feel like the stats don’t really matter when it’s you, right?
