I know what it's like to check the cutoff scores obsessively. My MOS was at 798 for cutoff scores for a couple of years in the early 90's. Took me 5 1/2 years go to from E-5 to E-6.

Props for toughing it out. I was on the E6 promo list for 3.5 years and bailed out. Cutoff was pretty consistently at max every month. Old E6/E7 farts wouldn't leave.

Didn't really want to change MOS, and got shut down right off for WO candidate - not enough TIS according to the interviewer. I guess they allowed the interview to proceed anyway as they sometimes make exception for exceptional candidates, of which I was not... I think had I completed my BS instead of the AS I had at the timed, I might have had a shot.
