Someone else might be able to jump in here, but I had heard the USAF was having trouble with funding for the FC1 Physical for Civilian applicants hoping to go to pilot training unsponsored. If you already have the FC1 Physical, then there is no issue; but for off the street applicants, you need the FC1 before going to an unsponsored board
SLAP,
I found them here: https://www.milrecruiter.com/afrc-uft-selectionboards/
5.4: “…Unsponsored applicants may apply to a regular (non-ROTC) selection board if they meet the following requirements: minimum PCSM score of 90, no exceptions to policy, and willing to fly any AFRC tanker or transport aircraft at any AFRC location. Unsponsored candidates are not eligible for fighter, bomber, or special-mission aircraft.”

Gotcha! Thank you!
Just out of curiosity, was Hawaii published on Mil recruiter?
TEXAStooTALL,
Previous flight hours seem to only slightly factor into selection. You want at least 60 for the PCSM boost that it gives you. This should get you to the end of your private pilot’s license, plus or minus a few hours. Once you get to 60 hours, anything is fair game. I’ve heard of local candidates getting interviews (at fighter squadrons) without their PPL (still with a few hours of flight time). If it’s a financial concern for you, my recommendation would be getting 60 flight hours (and if you are close to getting your ppl, go ahead and finish it off), after that, transition to AFOQT study/ tutor sessions and work on getting those composite section scores up. I have Commercial ASEL/ AMEL and Instrument rating (300 hrs), with the above scores and CGPA, and haven’t received an invite. In NOLA’s case, with 600+ applicants, AFOQT composite scores become a very easy way to narrow down the number of applicants to something more manageable.

Chainsaw,
Thank you!
CHAOS,
Thanks for the details! Do you know what the AFOQT cut offs were for aa, verbal, and quant? I’m trying to get a baseline not only at NOLA but other fighter squadrons as well. I have 99 AFOQT pilot/ ABM, 85 CSO, and a 99 PCSM. 3.94 CGPA from an aviation college (with flight training done at the university). AA, Verbal, and Quant afoot scores are my weak area at the moment (low to mid 60s).
