When did RQ-170s start utilizing CSO’s? Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Any updates on how recent drops have been?

Thanks y'all! I am glad I don't have to wait around forever. I know that it will probably be wait for you URT and UPT folks though. Hopefully the pipeline opens up a bit and they can get you in sooner rather than later. I would at least rather PCS and be on Casual Status.

Got my Advanced Assignment Notification for UCT. RNLTD of 4 Apr.

I wouldn't be shocked if they still send you to WP knowing Big Blue. Reason being, they want to ensure that folks are fully medically qualified before PCsing them.

Correct, CSO's no longer go to IFT.

Yes, both do have to go to WP unless they have a current one already certified from USAFSAM. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

CSO select! It was my number 1 so I’m stoked to say the least! Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Based on your posts last year, I take it you got your coveted Pilot slot this go around! If so congrats man!

What did you get?

No word from your old base yet big guy. Still waiting here as well.

My productivity level at work is nearly a 0, while I refresh pages every 2 minutes.

The submission and board date was a month to the right of this year. So release in Jan makes sense for the timeline this year. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

They had the winter storm last year and they were still able to work remotely and get everything out close to on track, so I think we will be good. The folks in the office down there at AFPC are pretty transparent so I will take them at their word.

I bet CC notification early next week (11th is my bet) with the PSDM being posted the 7 days after. If anyone has a contact at their MPF/MPS, that is who gets it first. They then push it out to the Senior Raters for notification.

Yeah, I feel my odds are pretty solid. I had my rank order: CSO, ABM, RPA and Pilot. Qualified for all, but with the ability for me to retire in less than 10 years I like to keep my options open. I also worked for a CSO and ABM previously and drank all of the kool-aid. I was 1 of 1 out of my Wing, my AFOQT scores are decent and the whole package should def be competitive for CSO or ABM. Knowing that the rank order holds significant weight helps as well since they want to push people into career fields that want to do it, instead of pushing people who put CSO number 4 into it knowing that they will likely decline it. I had to get a ETP for age and was approved for all Rated Career Fields and would be more than happy to go to the operational world in ANY AFSC. This was a major factor in putting CSO and ABM 1 and 2 as well. I have a 64 PCSM and do not have a PPL so I know that puts me below those who are usually selected for Pilot already.

Have others in your current AFSC received assignments? If they have that is likely a good sign since the assignments team receive the OM from the board to help in making determinations of who will be released. I know a guy who has had all of his peers receive assignments for the Summer VML, but he has not. It seems that the reason being is due to possible selection.

After reading the email again, based on meeting with the folks later this week it could be possible for CC release towards the end of the week. Knowing how the AF works, I think early next week is more likely.

Based on the info I was passed on public release, since they are awaiting a meeting later this week with folks at the top to bless everything.

Based on credible intel I received (AFPC), results are anticipated to be pushed out next week. I figured I would bother folks on behalf of everyone on here so y'all don't have to.

I got a good feeling you'll get something old man!
