    Did you have flight suits prior to going? For none rated dudes and dudettes, how would one come across issued flight gear? 

    Base supply. Call then up, they’ll either be a contract shop or old school and require an ESS supply account. It is probably contracted, in which case your RA will swipe the unit GPC. You can get your patches as well through nametags4u.com. No specification on colors, but I’d say you’re good with home MAJCOM/wing colors since you’re TDY. Again, a GOC swipe.  (the IFT reporting instructions say have them so I’m getting them just in case). 

  2. Anyone else opt into BRS and eligible for Continuation Pay because this is your 12th year? On the continuation pay form it says you may not retrain. I got an email back from AFPC Policy and the RPA assignments team double checked for me, as long as youre taking on an ADSC and complete the ADSC you may take the continuation pay and attend training. Going to take home an extra $16K this year.

    IFT arrival guide says they don’t provide uniforms, guess I’m buying yet another uniform. 

    Your current unit will provide flight suits, a-jacket, gloves, flight approved boots and hat out of the unit supply account and GPC buy patches. Your RA will take care of all of this for you. Print out arrival guide and give it to them. If you want to help them more get with an ops squadron RA to get local details on how to acquire.

    Any URT dudes have any info? I've gotten my RIP for MFS, but nothing has updated in vMPF anywhere that I can see.

    I got an email from AETC about my PPL. It seems like they were still figuring out who was going to skip IFT/RIQ and go to PRIME. I bet we get something by this time next week.

  5. Am I disappointed I didn’t get picked up for UPT? Of course. But I will say, I feel better about it seeing the quality of the people who did get picked up. It was quite competitive and there were a ton of folks who probably deserve an opportunity. 
    With that being said, I’m also a firm believer in everything happening for a reason. I’m looking forward to becoming an ABM. 


    When it comes to staff work, 100% would rather be in a bag than anything else. The work you can contribute is 10x more appealing. Sure, the flying life isn’t living the dream, but we’ll all end up at the 5 sided hell hole. Would you rather be helping figure out how to drop iron evil upon our enemies, or figure out how to pay the grass cutting contracts at Laughlin?

    Congrats.

    I second this. If y'all want to DM each other for that info by all means, but it might be too much to post that on a public forum.

    I'm not going to share the screen cap I have ... it doxes me. But, I have 12 names (not the whole page by the looks of it). If you were gunning for URT and didn't find out by end of day today and really want to know, you can PM me. Again, I don't have the whole list.

    The secure messaging system typically sends update notifications at midnight. So, unless someone goes in and checks manually, they won’t know until tomorrow morning. Hopefully everyone has a good relationship with their FSS folks and can give them a heads up to check the system periodically today.

    Used my FSS network and got the results. I have a screen shot of the URT results...
