GreenArc Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Guard, off-the-street: Selected - Jan ‘21 MEPS Approved - March ‘21 FC1 Approved - April ‘21 Officially Gained - Sept ‘21 NGB Submission - Jan ‘22 Hoping I can get OTS in late spring/early summer, and hit UPT ASAP after that…fingers crossed as the process has slowed a good bit after moving much faster out of the gate than anticipated.

UPTapplicant96 Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Just finished up at WP and required an OCT waiver (thinner than normal, behind the retina). The docs said this is a rubber stamp waiver and should be approved no problem...will see if that holds true. I'm curious if anyone has completed their FC1 in recent weeks/months and has any idea of current timeline for receiving FC1 stamps/notification of approval.

I went to WP early February of last year and had to get a waiver for exotropia. FC1 was stamped approved w/ waiver at the end of March. 1

UPT: ????? It's been a long one for sure. Does anyone have any idea how long it takes from packet approval to getting OTS dates? Seems like some people get them pretty fast. Scheduled within a week or two after NGB approval for class dates that are 3-4 months out. I've got nothing so far. 1

You can tell your unit you'll accept short notice dates, but it's still all over the place. Edited February 2, 2022 by ryleypav

I’ve been sponsored by a unit, FC1 complete, etc the whole nine yards- but I don’t have a PPL yet. My recruiter is making me nervous that I won’t get picked up during the Jan board. any insight would be appreciated… oh and since I’m here AFOQT: Feb 2021 TBAS: Feb 2021 FC1: Sep 2021 Interviewed and accepted: Oct 2021 AFRC UPT Board: hopefully Jan??

When are the number of training slots assigned? Are they distributed alphabetically by state? Does anyone have a contact? I'm totally in the dark on everything. I'm gonna piggy back and bump this question, as it's a great one and I'd love that insight, too, if anybody is able to shed some light on it. Thank you so much in advance!

How did you go about getting your FC1 before enlisting? Or were you already in the AF? My recruiter told me I need to be enlisted in the unit before they can go about procuring dates for FC1 or OTS

The common misconception is that you need to go to MEPS and be enlisted prior to the FC1. That is not true. I was just as confused when my recruiter told me that I would be skipping MEPS all together and enlisting AFTER I received an FC1 stamp. Turned out to be about the smoothest process I could ask for.
