Lifter Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I was picked up on this month's unsponsored board and I'm hoping to track t38s. Will I have any influence in this decision? Also, I already have my FC1 and am on the scroll. Approximately how much time exists until I can expect to get orders for OTS? Additional info: I'm currently enlisted guard and am in the process of transferring to the 340th. Things are moving forward and I feel close. Just looking for specifics or insight.

Lifter Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 I got picked up by a 135 at the end of last year, but I know that doesn't remove the possibility of 38s (it does eliminate the necessity though, I get it). Just trying to secure a 38 slot, but I'm not sure how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#41 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 WRT timeline, I had 10 months between my FC1 and OTS. 9 months from AFRC board OK to OTS. Once you in process in person with the 340th, you should be close. If you’ve been picked up by a 135 unit, you’ll fly the T1. The only way guard/reserve go 38s is if they’re going to a fighter unit. Especially reserves, they have very very limited 38 allocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavywanabe Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 You wont get a 38 slot if you are not being sponsored by a fighter unit. Average 38 track for a upt class is 8 slots, out of a class of 25-27 studs. And most of the active duty kids are competing for them, no sense in wasting one on a guy going to heavies. If you want to fly fighters go interview for fighter units, although that's a fine line to straddle if you already have a sponsoring unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
