The best advice I can give you for the SIFT is only take it when you are ready to take it. The score, if passing, stays with you forever. The board can see the score and it is a discriminating factor for selection. Any other questions you have let me know. Also make sure you start the age waiver process early as that may be your biggest obstacle.

Everything looks great score wise, as long as you get a 40 or higher your fine on the SIFT.
