Talon38 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hey everyone, So I reached out to the 39th Flying Training Squadron about this same questions and I am waiting to hear back. Out of curiosity, can a UPT training squadron sponsor someone for UPT? Ideally, I would like to be an IP for the USAF, and go through UPT then PIT. I am currently an aviation educator (CFI/CFII/MEI and college classes for a university,) and even after 4+ years of doing it, I still love it. Additional info (if it helps;) MEd in Curriculum and Teaching will be done in March, GPA 4.0/4.0. BSc Aeronautics, ERAU, GPA 3.6 I recently turned 28. PSCM 99, although, I would like to take the AFOQT again to improve my verbal score. Not that it matters for selection, but I occasionally teach aerobatics and UPRT as well. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N730 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Don’t take the AFOQT again unless you got like a 20 on the verbal. All it could do is hurt your PCSM and I don’t think anyone cares about your verbal score anyway.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic24 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Currently in UPT and have heard rumors of unsponsored hires being able to be assigned to the reserve squadron after graduation if said persons couldn't find a unit at the end of training. I highly highly doubt a reserve training squadron will sponsor somebody and send them to UPT though. Best bet would be go unsponsored if unsponsored boards are still happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoker Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 It's definitely possible for a Reservist to FAIP, one prior Nav did it a little while ago. He was unsponsored and wanted to stick around, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LookieRookie Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 If a 340 FTG squadron decides to FAIP you, it won't be the 39th. You have to have been an UPT instructor for a tour already to instruct PIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX51 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Wow, with scores like that you could really go to any unit you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
