From what I understand my recruiter is getting my FC1 results then putting the packet together. I would really like to go to TFOT in January... but who knows.

I finished the FC1 on Sept. 13, and I called my recruiter and the head of formal schooling that day. That's the best I can do.

I finished my FC1 in July and my packet hasn't gone to NGB yet. I just hope the January TFOT classes don't fill up by then.

My recruiter was waiting on my medical results to submit mine, but he found out that he could submit the package for approval without the FC1 results. Mine was was submitted last week for what its worth. Hope to hear something back soon.
SPAWNmaster Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Not sure if my dates are getting to be a little too out of date to be helpful to anyone but since I'm mid pipeline thought I'd post. I'm guard FWIW. April 2015: Interviewed/hired June 2015: Swore in August 2015: FC1 October 2015: Received OTS/UPT dates January 2016: OTS (grad March) IFS: EXEMPT April 2016: UPT October 2016: Track to Phase 3 ????: MWS ????: Seasoning
Vixty Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) By looking at past posts its hard to tell what my timeline will look like. I'm currently AD enlisted crossing over to the guard. The recruiter/unit has never delt with this situation before so hopefully there won't be any major bumps in the road. If anyone has completed this process in the past some insight would be appreciated. No one can tell me what I should expect since this is a first for them. I've completed my FC1 here at my current base but I still have to eventuly complete the MFS. Sep 2016: Interview/Hired Edited October 21, 2016 by Vixty

Always wondered how the Guard and ENJJPT combined class worked... Do all guard fighters go through Sheppard, or is that just the luck of the draw?

From what I learned at the 187th FW's meet-and-greet a few weeks ago, it just depends on if Sheppard has a class available sooner than anyone else. Not all Guard fighters go there, and you don't have to do a special application for it. 1

I'm super bummed I wasn't able to go meet them, as well as other guard applicants. Edited October 19, 2016 by tk1313

We have dudes in our unit that went to Vance and Del Rio as well.

Yeah, the 187th was great, they actually took the time to sit down and talk with us (there were about a dozen prospects there). 1
black hills tj Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 I was selected for an F-16 spot with the 114FW, and I will be going through Laughlin! Sounds like the other guys I got picked up with will be at Sheppard though.

I was Reserve and hired in Nov 2015 to the Gaurd...although i didnt "palace chase" which is the process you might have to go through, I am graduating OTS in a week. The MFS appointment can be made through your active unit potentially...but definitely start calling around and asking questions. The process can stall easily if you dont stay on top of it.

I just realized I put 2015 instead of 2016. My paperwork should get submitted to the GB soon but the recruiter said he doesnt think there will be any dates assigned until I actually palace chase and swear in. I won't be able to palace chase until after Aug17 due to my wife deamanding that she wants to have her ankle pins taken out from a previous injury before we lose our tricare prime. The problem is I turn 29 in May and they want to push me thorugh ASAP.

Vixty Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Does anyone know how the GB determines class dates? It seems that some get dates a year out while others only a month or two. Is it first come first serve, or does the age of the individual go into account?
