Flyingforce

Let's just say in a unit like mine, cause it's so small, everyone knows everything about everyone. that being said, my supervisor met with my fellow peers who are also getting ready to PCS and one of them ratted on me... Yet they all get to go on PTDY still. Needless to say, im not to happy about it.

Im a 2D LT in the Air Force getting ready to PCS to my next duty station in August. My question involves PTDY cause I was planning on taking 10 days of PTDY to go "house hunting". Honestly more to check out the area. The only issue is I kind of already have a place set up for me, but have yet to sign the lease. Somehow this information got leaked to my Supervisor and now I've been told he might deny me from taking 10 days of PTDY. Are they allowed to do this? All responses would be great. Thanks.

I think that was more of a way for me to say, i'm willing to do anything to fly at this point. I definitely will start looking into units; being proactive; start making some calls. Thanks.

I'm also open to the reserve as well. I'm just raising my hand waiting for someone to pick me up.

Good Afternoon, I'm looking to fly for the guard, preferably fighters, but at this point I'll take anything. I'm currently a Space Operations Officer, been in for about a year and a half now. I have a 77 PCSM with a flawless medical and 62 flight hours. Will be getting my PPL when I get to Colorado. I also applied to cross train over to pilot, and will again this year. It just seems impossible right now so I'm not holding my breath...What I'm wondering, cause I really want to fly, will I have to wait to palace chase to join the guard or can they take my active duty commitment? I'm also wondering if anybody has a list of the units that are currently hiring and how I can start looking into joining. I looked on the guard site and did some research, and realized the site isn't fully up to date. Just trying to get more information and see where I can go with this.

Nvm found the list! Competitive year! All 1st lieutenants and captains... Hmm..

Haven't heard or seen anything as well... Pretty optimistic at this point

Where did you get that information that you're an alternate?

Hmm interesting. The age thing makes sense, but yah haven't heard anything from leadership. Where is this list? Congratulations btw! Anyone else?

Via email?

Yah, we're talking about the active duty board uft. Where you cross train over from your current afsc. Board met January 25-28, results released February 2016.

Will they send out an email the day before, what should we be looking for?

Anybody hear anything?

They are for ROTC not sure about active duty yet...

You would think with all this technology we would find out next week. I really wonder why it takes so long. I wish they would just tell us the board meets the week before results are released even if it's not true ;)

Yah, I was referring to the line specific to the form 215. Again, no clue how they will look at it on the board. one question though, how would a captain's push note go against a brand new lieutenants push note? Seems like the captain would definitely have an edge. Or do they look at your year group and match you up against others in your year group? Just curious.

That's the first time I've had anyone comment on that, and I've been asking around trying to figure out how a 1/1 strat will help or not... Unfortunately, obviously out of my control, I was the only one in my wing to apply. How will the board look at this opposed to say a 3/6 strat?

From what I've heard, if you want an RPA slot, you will get one! I think you have a very good chance. Good luck!

LOL! I have a 1/1 wing strat with a 77 pcsm... I have absolutely no clue where I stand! Pretty nervous though

At this point, everything is pure speculation. Just hang on and we'll all find out shortly. As noted above, Kama'aina got picked up with a 72 on last years board. When, if you read the forums from last year, it was also supposed to be highly competitive. Anything at this point, unless MPF says, which I haven't heard anything except there are 200 applicants, is pure speculation and rumors. there's a whole lot more than just the PCSM, Hang in there we'll all be finding out shortly. PS: I'm feeling the same way you all are, why I felt like I should send this out.

I was told by a major who has been on the boards, that in a year they normally only get 40 applicants that want to cross train over. But, that might just be the ones that are pilot eligible. That's why 200 seems like a lot!

When you say 200 applicants for the UFT AD board, are you referring to the OTS UFT boards? From what I was told, OTS has separate boards then applicants cross-training from AD. Is this what you are referring to?

I'm also a space guy, was wondering, I can't start a new forum cause an error pops up when I try to validate my account, if I should get my PPL. I have a 77 PCSM, brand new 2d LT, as of last December, and am applying for pilot again. The thing is, I'm currently stationed in North Dakota where the nearest flight school is 2.5 hours away. so getting my PPL will be really expensive and tedious with my work schedule. I currently have 62 hours and my leadership is on board with me applying. Also did not need any waivers for my FC1 medical exam. I know getting a PPL will always help your chances but just wondering if with my PCSM and medical if its necessary. Any further discussion on this would be appreciated.
