2020 Air Force Active Duty UPT Board

[Zachv95 1]

And CSO selects get anything for IFT yet? I have a pending assignment and TDY from my current AFSC so I’ve been working on getting those cancelled.

[UFTapplicant 5]

Yeah I got Randolph as well. I’ll be heading their this summer. That’s a pretty sweet location compared to the others.

Where are yall getting your rips from? AFPC sending emails? Or through your UTM/ formal training folks?

Not sure, I’m only a 2Lt, just got through my first year on AD.

Well there goes my theory 🤣

UTM/Formal training, not unless through some weird way you get it.

UPT at Randolph in May 2020 and MFS  Jan 22. No IFS for me

[AirForceAg 9]

Got my RIPs today.

16 Jun RFT. MFS 15 Jan. 

[CCT beat me once 9]

Anyone else based overseas?  I am curious if anyone has been contacted regarding shortening or extending your DEROS

Got my RIP today or IFT from my formal training rep. 17 March-12 April. I got a second RIP for my aerospace physical at Peterson for 12 March-16 March. I was under the impression those physicals were done at Wright-Pat. Is it normal for the flight physical to be at Peterson and for the physical to bump right up to the actual training dates?

[Bob Uecker 19]

I always thought they did CSO physicals at Scott? Thats where they sent CSO selects when I was in ROTC.

[dkatuziens 13]

All the CSOs I knew from college went to Langley for their physicals -- I also went to Virginia Tech, so maybe that's why. 

[Bob Uecker 19]

Makes sense, Scott was the closest base to us. I guess they just do those physicals Whereever is most convenient.

Mine was done at McChord (for CSO). Since it's not a FC1 physical it does not need to be at Wright-Pat and they typically choose a base close to you.

I was picked up in last years board and I’m still stationed at Elmendorf. Never been contacted about curtailing DEROS up to this point, but I’m URT and am TDY for all my training. Might change once I finally PCS mid next year which will be about 6 months before my DEROS.

Thanks! I will be PCSing for UPT, and actually heard from APFC today that they are working my DEROS now.  I would assume they will work yours as well.  Doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal from our side, mostly admin actions they need to take...

Looks like I’m also headed to Randolph in May 2020 for UPT!

[Bob Uecker 19]

Randolph UPT class starts 15 July.

[Zachv95 1]

Flight suits. I have a buddy who’s a CSO and said they were issued to him at Pensacola before going to IFT but since I’m not going to Pensacola before IFT will I have to pay for them? That’s a lot of money I’d prefer not spending if there’s a way to get them issued to me haha.

[dotonfire 5]

@Zachv95 are you going reserve CSO? If so, you should get them fitted and issued during inprocessing at JBSA. Otherwise, you should PCS to Pensacola before you go to IFT and get fitted/issued there. Also, that's an Aerospace Physiology course at Peterson (chamber training, spacial disorientation, etc) right before your IFT.

I’m active and IFT is a TDY from my current station. I’ll get back from IFT and PCS to Pensacola a few months later. I’ll do some digging around and let you guys know what I find.

FWIW I was in your exact shoes 2 years ago. My boss at the time purchased the flight suits from the local supply shop on his CC/GPC.

i ordered all patches online on my own dime from aviatorgear.com

Is anyone going to IFT or RFT  in June till August?

Any other intel on this since it's so non-standard? Is it just going to be 2 classes? 

Edited December 6 by Navigangsta

[Bob Uecker 19]

Thats what I got when I asked the assignments guy for the board. From what I can tell, this is a pretty lowkey deal.

 

Not sure if anyone in the AFA/ROTC/OTS/AGR pipelines are going to Randolph. I know my buddy who is a senior in ROTC is still waiting to put in base preference till January.

You guys hear anything on whether we are doing the UPT Next syllabus? Hearing both doing PTN and that Randolph is hosting a normal UPT class.

 

Big ups to @Lost as you are for the info on possible PTN.
