  1. Friendly reminder to anyone interested that if you haven't started your IFC I physical, do so now. Mine took roughly 5 months to finish waiting on a waiver to get approved. Good luck!
  2. Anyone know if for IFT there is a PT test Day 1 or if masks are required with the updated COVID guidance?
  3. When I messaged the org box they sent back a chart showing all my dates (MFS, IFT and UPT start date). I ironically have no RNLTD but they gave me the same gouge of 45-60 days before class start date.
  4. If any of you do not have training dates yet I would hit up the AFPC org box. Found out I am going to Vance for the 11/1 UPT class but more importantly I have an IFT date of 17 Mar which was WAY closer than I expected. Glad I reached out.
  5. I might hit you up on that offer. My training rip got sent to the wrong squadron so I am dealing with that right now but I am going to MFS on 10 Mar too
  6. Thank you for the insight! Any specific source you recommend? I'm assuming I just get measured at a local tailor shop and send in the measurements when it is purchased
  7. Does anybody know how we get flight suits and if they are being issued?
  8. Email the org box about your situation. They said they have flexibility to move dates around with dates up until 31 March.
  9. I was under the impression that after MFS that you would PCS and go to IFT from there. IP friends of mine told me they never had anyone go to IFT prior to their PCS.
  10. Gotta do what's best for you and the fam! If guard/reserves is an option for you check out bogidope.com. At one point I was looking at the guard route and that website is phenomenal for see what is out there. Best of luck to you!
  11. I concur with this. Someone last year got selected with a 50 PCSM and in FY18 the lowest PCSM was a 20 for UPT. So many factors come into play that anyone has a chance no matter what their numbers look like.

    AFOQT Waiver

    So I am trying to submit a waiver to retake the AFOQT a third time to improve my AFOQT Pilot/PCSM score. The main acceptance criteria for a third retake I am trying to leverage is having "significant flying time" as stated in the AFMAN. I have 23 flight hours since I last took the AFOQT and was curious if anybody has any success with getting this waiver to retake approved. Any insight is appreciated.
  13. Sorry for the confusion but yes this situation is what I was referring to in my initial question. On another note, for all those non-selects, are you all in rated career fields already? I’m speculating right now but it looks like the rated functionals are denying people releases when they could have been picked up for pilot with their high scores, total amount of flight time and PPLs. I’d be livid if I spent all my time/money into flying only to have a functional deny my release after the board met. If my logic is flawed please let me know!
  14. If you don’t mind me asking did you get an ETP? I thought you we’re only allowed to try two times max?
  15. Just so I’m getting some context you are already rated and (im assuming) only applied for Pilot correct? Those scores are stellar and I’m shocked you didn’t get picked with those scores.
  16. @Kunzcl @robby8388 Thanks for clarifying. I was going off the assumption that training dates were hard dates based off AF operational needs. Glad there is some flexibility given everything that went on in 2020.
  17. My understanding of that was it wouldn’t be held against you if you had an approved waiver/ETP. So the board won’t see it because they are looking at known eligible applicants regardless of waiver/ETP etc. So in my mind there would be some mitigation against awarding slots to applicants they are unsure about being qualified. In an extreme case, if everyone was pooled together unknowing of IFCs/ETPs being done then all of the slots could be awarded only to find out none of them have necessary IFC physicals for what they were awarded (differing class physicals matter here). This is why I think there is some sort of risk mitigation favoring people AFPC already knows are qualified. Just my two cents.
  18. Hopefully no one gets faulted for getting everything done by the deadlines. The biggest thing is number of slots and the training dates. They said they are not giving training dates for anyone picked up without a completed IFC/ETP. So if there are a lot of people that don’t have IFC/ETPs done then I’m guessing that would favor people with the entire package done solely based on getting them to training faster.
  19. Saw on the board page that they accepted applications without completed IFCs or ETPs due to COVID. Curious to see how many people are in that boat and where AFPC put the risk on awarding slots to people without IFCs/ETPs done.
  20. Assuming all of this is true, what would be the logic for slashing pilot slots due to the pipeline? Since there is a big pilot shortage wouldn’t the 75 pilots still be needed? Maybe I’m missing something but I would think maybe later RNLTDs/training dates for the 75 selects would mitigate the worry that pilot trainees would be waiting around too long because of pipeline issues.
