Not entirely sure yet, leaning towards no. If It turns out I got the medical ETP, I might consider taking it on the hope they'll pull RPA trainees to UPT.
If no ETP, then probably not. I poured my heart out into that package to go fly. I purposefully did not put in for rated out of USAFA because my medical was waivered for RPA only. You think that, coupled with me going for a PPL, would clearly demonstrate my intent. My personal letter said UPT and/or pilot probably a half dozen times or more. My letter of recommendation was from a prominent fighter pilot that I actually knew fairly well and served under. I was ranked 1st out of my wing (a prominent wing, as well), and my squadron commander who's signature was on my 215 was a fighter pilot using strong push language.
But nah, give me URT. Clearly, that's what I am here for. At least a non-select would have left the door open for next year. Ironically, the board probably selected me for this because "RPAs are flying, and he's qualified." But I didn't need an ETP for RPA's...
It's very frustrating to have the air force take a dump over my dreams like this.
