FY21 Class dates have been posted at https://www.airuniversity.af.edu/Holm-Center/OTS/

Has anyone heard any word on FY2021 dates? Not sure when they usually release them.

Has anyone had their NGB package submitted before they get their FC1 scheduled? My recruiter is saying that the process changed to that recently, can anyone confirm? Also am I correct in assuming I most likely won't be able to make the last OTS class this year (20-08) as I am still waiting for the FC1 to be scheduled?

Is the reason they are washing out consistent? Meaning is there something in particular that ENNJPT isnt doing well?

At what point in the process does that choice get made? I asked my recruiter about it but he hadn't heard about it before.

This, additionally I have heard from a friend that is there now, that if a guard fighter unit hires you, you can opt to go to ENJJPT if your PCSM is over 90. Anyone have confirmation on this?

Anybody have a holster recommendation for a Springfield hellcat with a streamlight TLR-6 and rmr? Looking for an appendix carry with an extra mag (similar to trex arms sidecar or LAS concealment ronin). Havent had any luck yet so its starting to look like I will have to go the custom route.

Has anyone gone through MEPS in the last two months or so? Currently waiting to go, just curious how much Rona has affected the process and if anything else has changed compared to the previous posts.

Does this effect folks that have already gotten hired but are still waiting for dates? Or does the unit already have the slot secured when they hold their board?

Trying to understand how the slot process works for the guard/ reserve units. How do units receive their slots every year? My assumption would be that its passed down through budget and if so does that come down at the beginning of every fiscal year? Also how does that couple with a unit having a reserved spot in the training pipeline for a new hire? Ive heard of people getting selected, sent to wright pat quickly, and then having to wait for training dates, does the FC1 process run off a separate budget/ queue?

Ditto desk jobs, those are solid scores. I wouldnt want to risk lowering the 99 pilot/nav.

Has anyone gone through FC1 recently with a concussion in their records? I got a super mild one 11 years ago in high school with no loss of consciousness, was just wondering how much of a hassle its going to be.

Excellent advice, exactly what I was looking for, Thanks!!!

Thanks for the quick response, just to clarify, if i accepted an active slot, and then later accepted a reserve\ guard spot, that is when the notice of declination and AD bridge burning would come into play?

Is it possible to get selected and subsequently switch to a reserve or guard unit before you leave for OTS if you get an active duty pilot slot? Background info, I have been applying to guard and reserve jobs for about 2 years now and while that is definitely my preference, I would like to get in the air as soon as possible so now I am considering going active. My recruiter informed me that its about a 1.5 -2 year wait to start training even for active. So I was wondering if I should still apply to units in the meantime while I am waiting for things to happen on the active side of things, or if doing so would burn any bridges. Any info is appreciated. Thanks!
