CCT beat me once

Randolph with an RNLTD of 31 Aug. Anyone else in the later Randolph class?

Thanks! I will be PCSing for UPT, and actually heard from APFC today that they are working my DEROS now. I would assume they will work yours as well. Doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal from our side, mostly admin actions they need to take...

Anyone else based overseas? I am curious if anyone has been contacted regarding shortening or extending your DEROS

Only MFS in CDB (no IFS). Nothing on the loss roster yet.

Strange its not VN, XL or CB. Is Randolph Pilot Training Next? A little insider GK, that is where they will be doing Operational Testing on the T-X and had originally wanted actual UPT studs...

On the PSDM under the second bullet it states that if you are NOT Declining then no action is needed and you will be scheduled for training. You only need to let them know if you are turning it down.

Jan 22 for MFS as well - I look forward to meeting you (Bob and Patrick) . The word I got from AFPC is that there are new vision test that are required even if you have a current FC-1. Hoping to get some gouge on what they are testing for soon... Interesting thoughts on going to IFT again, though it was called IFS when I went through previously.

Hearing no RIPs until after the new year for UPT either, and that there are new tests so EVERYONE is going to have to process through MFS again... yep-to include more vision tests.

Stirring up an old thread! The FY20 boards results have been released to Commanders, and should be public on Thursday this week. For those of us that were fortunate enough to get picked up, I have a few questions. What was the turn time to get RIPs/orders? In reviewing the thread, it looks like you got informed ~7 Jan and got informed of your bases/dates on ~19 Jan, is that correct? From the January notification, what was the earliest turn time you had to get to UPT? It looks like there were a few PCSs that were in June/July/August. Does 4-7 months sound about right? I think this would put our dates from March - June. AFPC said there was a little backlog for UPT folks this year, is that the same story you had last year? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Gouge - AFPC will start loading assignments after the PSDM drops next week; however, there is a backup of UPT studs right now. I assume this means we don't have to worry about any January start dates as the PSDM for the call for applicants had suggested.

ENJJPT was right next to your type of training on the spreadsheet I saw. It would have said UPT (ENJJPT)

Oh - and an ETP for age.

They offered me CSO when I turned down RPA last year.

Your career field manager (CFM) has to release you to be competitive for the board which was done in September. That being said I was told by my CFM that he didn’t have a choice - even though I am currently under a career field retention bonus.

UPT 97 pilot, 82 PCSM no PPL Prior 92T - yanked in ‘14 for color vision I would venture to guess if I got it, both of you did as well. I denied URT AND CST last year.

My commander is a 1* - and of course also out this week. However, I got good gouge from the exec.

I can confirm that the list is out there. Now it’s up to your leadership! Good luck!

I see last year the list was published on the 7th but assignments didn’t come out until the 19th. Think that’ll be the same this year?

I think this may still be the case. Got word that commanders would have it for sure by Friday from one of the board facilitators. I was really hoping your Thursday gouge was good though!

I can say this only because I have done my time with stripes in a support role (mind you this was over 10 years ago), don't ever underestimate the ability for a SrA to sit on something that is meaningless to them and dire information for someone else.

Wonder what 'first thing in the morning' means for folks in PACAF or USAFE... maybe friday?! I was thinking anything that came out on Friday I would be waiting until the following week, so Thursday is way better regardless 🙂

Next Friday the commanders will know. It is still with MGen Toth.

Yes. They should have the release out by the 8th (next Friday). This is the commander's notification window, so they can choose how to let you know.

I spoke with my career field functional. Per request by AFPC, we were 'released for consideration' over two weeks ago. That would indicate that if the board was finished by the 26th of Sept things are at least in the right direction, though they also reiterated the release is set for mid November. Getting a little anxious over here!

I am in a very similar spot! Though, I also got an ETP for being old...
