Anyone know what we do during that ~1 month period between our RNLTD and IPT class start?

I would assume it's the same for Columbus and Laughlin, but the Vance welcome packet says to report in OCPs. There's another part of the packet with all required uniform items: OCPs (2 sets), short sleeve blues, service dress, mess dress if you have it, and PTUs (2 sets)

I got my email from AFPC today! Vance RNLTD: 6 Oct 25 Course: SV8IPT VH Start: 07 Nov 25 Grad: 05 Apr 2 The email said UPT dates will be loaded once I'm in IPT and the scheduling team can gauge if my IPT grad date is on schedule. Also, I'd assume most people will have class dates earlier than mine, my CC was able to push mine back so I could deploy before UPT

My CDB isn't showing my training dates yet, but I did the EFMP trick on vMPF and at least found out that I'm going to Vance. I've been checking that daily and it just started showing today as well. For anyone who hasn't found out where they're going yet, under assignments on vMPF go to Exceptional Family Member Program, then click edit/start my EFMP application. If your assignment hasn't been loaded yet, it will say there is no projected assignment or something along those lines. But if it doesn't say that, click next twice (click a random option on the second screen) and in the third screen it should tell you where you're going. Mine says "VH0JFSY9 OL MLST 71 STUDENT SQ FFSY90, VANCE AFB, OK"

I had a similar-ish situation to yours, so I'll tell you how it went for me. I failed the CCT in one eye while in ROTC (50 in one eye, 70 in the other). Lost my pilot slot, had to reclass. Fast forward a couple years of AD and I go through the long and painful process to get a Medical Exception to Policy, requires your MAJCOM/CC signature and a few other things so it's a long process. All went smoothly until they told me I had to get an updated FC1 physical because it had been too long since my original one at WPAFB. Went there and everything was fine until the CCT. I was taking this test at my local base and people generally do better on the CCT at other bases that aren't WPAFB. For whatever reason, I did worse and failed in both eyes. However, CCT results at USAFA and WPAFB are the only results the USAF considers "real". So what they told you about only being able to take the test once isn't necessarily true. I flew to WPAFB for a one day TDY, solely to retake the CCT and the other color exams. I fully passed in both eyes this time. So there is absolutely some truth in being able to become familiar with the test / get a good nights sleep and have some caffeine before the test (The flight doc thinks this may have helped me pass). After that, I no longer needed to go on the Exception to Policy board and they simply signed off on my FC1. Still had to recompete for my UPT slot, but that's a separate process. Long story short, you may have to reclass for now, but I wouldn't give up if I were you. When you failed the CCT at WPAFB, did you fail in one eye or both?

I also have my full MFS from a few years ago and haven't gotten any news on my assignment

I live 5 minutes away from the Georgetown airfield! I had no idea it would be an IPT spot

Congrats! Did you find your dates on vmpf or somewhere else?

I'm in a similar situation, I'm deploying in 2 weeks. My CC contacted the board folks to deconflict my class dates with the deployment. I'm not sure if they moved my class dates because of it or if they were already this late, but he told me I'll be heading out sometime mid/late October. This conversation was a couple weeks ago, but I'm quite sure I remember him saying IPT is after PCSing. He wasn't told which base I'm going to though. But if you haven't already, you should let them know you're going to deploy so you don't have an issue with your class dates

Finally got the call this morning, UPT select! 84 PCSM/99 Pilot/24 flt hours no PPL, first time applying For those who still haven't gotten the results, don't lose hope!

How many people still haven't heard anything?

I was hoping the same, but they updated the dates online for official release being 28 Jan:

For the people who have heard the results so far, how were you told? My Sq/CC still hasn't gotten any word about it

Not exactly the same situation for me, but I think that's normal. I got taken off of a deployment for the same reason, being "considered".

Yeah gonna be honest, this waiting game was hard the last couple months but it's unbearable now. It's impossible to not think about it all day 🤣
