  1. Right on man! Looks like you have an eye for opportunity like I do haha. Do you know anyone from the unit out there?
  2. Are there other factors that play into timing? I'm tracking this thread because I'm in a unique situation...I will be a 2LT KC-46 copilot, but my reserve squadron is closing- so I have the chance to rush other squadrons. I did notice that the A-10 unit up at Ft. Wayne is converting over to the F-16. Would that then be a good timing opportunity? Of course, I think rushing/meshing well plays a huge roll too.
  3. I am a T-1 grad just finishing up PIQ for my reserve squadron that is closing. The thought crossed my mind about reaching out to a fighter unit to see if they're willing to hire me as a free agent and send me through additional training. I understand it's a pretty steep ask - where have you heard of it being done before? Also, what factors would be in my favor to have serious consideration? I don't want to waste their time or mine if it's unrealistic.
  4. Also following this thread... I am a reservist just finishing up KC-46 PIQ and my civilian background is in engineering at Boeing, so TPS is something I have been interested in.
  5. How many overall selects did they end up having at this board?
  6. Was this a guard or reserve unit making this statement?
  7. Why aren't they sending your packet in? I'm pretty sure the minimum PCSM to board is a 70. Not only that, but I heard that they are getting 96 AFRC slots for this year. I would try to put in for the board and make AFRC tell you no.
  8. Dang wouldn't that mean it would be held today? Haha...what a ride this has been. My sponsored package has been up at AFRC since January and they keep pushing boards back. Hoping for some different news tho 👍🏻
  9. Anyone apply to the AFRC sponsored board that was held 14 July?
  10. I'm referring to the sponsored board - I have my FC1 completed and am sponsored, but they announced at the March board that selections will be minimal and they will be rolling all the non-selects to the May board. I think they did it to control flow into the UPT pipeline because things are backed up...
  11. I hope you're right about this. The thing that I know is that the UPT pipeline is backed up...they cancelled the Jan board and only selected 15 people at the March board - and rolled all the non-selects to the May board. I'm one of the people who were rolled to the next board, so I wouldn't say there will be no competition, because some people have been waiting for a board for awhile.
  12. I wish you luck too bro! Flying training is considered 'mission essential', as well as OTS - so the pipeline shouldn't be affected. The real question is will the board be affected by COVID-19. I have heard there are commuting restrictions with the Reserves, so a lot of people aren't in office. Hopefully the results won't be delayed...
