I'll need to refresh myself on the regs, I don't work with reservists that often. So forgive me for misinformation. Regardless the HARM is where he needs to start.

As a 1C, I can help with this question. You will need to talk to yours HARM office. They're the ones who track your flight pay. As far as you being a reservist, you're on "conditional" flight pay. That means you get paid for how much you fly. Generally you have to fly 4 hours a month to get paid. If you fly more, it'll roll over to the next month or apply backwards if you didn't get it previously. It won't matter about your AT weekend. However, if you're on active orders then you should be prorated as a result. Finance will not know the answer to your question. It's trucked by your HARM office who pushes the info to them. It should be easy to find since your info will be in your FRF.

Welcome to the Air Force. My guess is becsuse the reserves is a federal entity and they want to sign off on any applicant that a unit chooses, since it's them who pays for an applicant to go to training. Like I said, waivers are sent to the board and there are multiple layers to the application process. It may not make sense, but you'll understand that's how the Air Force works.

Highly unlikely since a unit interviewed you and picked you up. Unless you have a waiver that isn't processed or something that is disqualifying you, there would be no reason for the board to overturn a sponsoring unit.

I got picked up by the 171 ARW in Pitt and the 18th ARS at McConnell AFB

Does anyone know how many sports are available for the November board?

I am in the same situation as you, I'm active duty as well. There is an AFRC recruiter at your base. Mine is located at the MPF Office. However, he got me in contact with an Accesions recruiter who is at another base. Typically recruiters deal with 3 or 4 bases, not just one. It just depends on your base, but definetly try there. There is no use going to an outside recruiter, they'll just refer you to the on base one because you're already in (Believe me I've tried). It took my a while to get into contact with her but she was the person that I needed to talk to. She is sending me documents that I need to fill out, but she confirmed to me they are indeed sending people unsponsored. She also said there may be a board as early as September and there is one scheduled in November.

If I'm not mistaken, there should be a AFRC Officer Accesions recruiter as well. If you contact the active duty one, they'll just refer you to them.

You will need to talk to an officer accessions recruiter that is in your area. You'll talk to them and they will get the ball rolling for you. I am currently in the process as well.
