Definitely focus on the nearest alligator, but I haven't heard of any 35's outside of ENJJPT yet, but there have been a few 22's out of standard UPT but they're unicornish. Also, track select is just the track; you won't get your airframe assignment until the very end. For T1's you are guaranteed heavies only, for T38's you are able to get fighter/bomber, but you are eligible for literally every fixed wing in inventory if needed. If you really want them, bust your butt. It's probably safe to say all T38's will have it as their first choice on their dream sheet.

All patches are issued items. You only need to worry about sewing your rank and sleeve velcro onto your bags. At IFT my class just had temporary black leather patches with sticker tape names on them. Your training base will get you two patches ordered. I called ahead to my base and gave them my info so they'll be waiting for me.

The PSDM for the next board should drop around June with all of the dates and new reqs. That tracks another Sept-Oct deadline for apps. They did take a lot of ABMs this year, so the need seems to be there! Good luck

Your gear will be issued to you prior to attending IFT. IFT is a civilian flight program with an attached AF squadron so they don't have any kind of gear issue there. Your TDY orders will include the equipment issue required, just like deployment orders.

I got mine from an insider IP out there. I searched my way onto their sharepoint too though through portal and found more stuff.
-
It's definitely worth asking; my instructions also say UOD is ABUs and in bold says "NO FLIGHTSUITS." But I called and said I'm a prior rated bag-wearer and they said I'm good. A lot of it seems geared toward brand new folks.
-
My reporting instructions say "you may be required to live in the Unaccompanied Officer Quarters." Also, finally got a date! July to Vance, no IFT.

I can pull mine too, but FSS sent my cc an email saying they are "experiencing difficulties" during scheduled maintenance through tomorrow 😖. Hopefully Friday I'll get something!

Apparently an outage is preventing my leads from accessing SURF of vMPF... fml. AFPC posted a new aggregate data PowerPoint on the portal with this year's numbers added in. They added some AFOQT scores this time.

Did you find out anything about your IFT date?
-
Nice! When do you report in?
-
*rolls up in powder-blue prius 😂 My side still hasn't processed anything. I just wanna know!! I'd love a March date. Get up and go!
-
Have you flown recently? Last year a buddy of mine still had to go with a PPL because he hadn't logged time in a while. I'd just email/call AFPC workflow and double check what the policy on it is so they can change it if needed.

The PSDM dropped in mypers for anyone still waiting

When I went through 2 yrs ago they had just started sending URT grads to MQ9 training at March and Syracuse (AFRC) to help with the Holloman backlog. About every other class had folks going to those instead. RQ-4 training is nbd; not a lot of casual time there. As far as assignments, it's still all over the place. Most MQ9 drops are still going to Creech and Canon, with a sprinkling (1-2/class) of Whiteman, Ellsworth and Shaw. RQ4s are usually less than 5 per class, and go to volunteers wanting to live in Northern Cali and deploy to Hawaii (not kidding... CED to Hawaii 😤).

I can't say for the future, but 20ish post-IFT URT studs were sent to UPT last August before they started the pipeline. It came out as a "who wants to UPT" email. I was super salty because it happened barely a year after I graduated 😂. It was a push to fill the last of the fiscal years spots. Again, not common, but it happened. URT studs were the first and only choice to grab those last remaining dates.
-
Not without a waiver anyway. This year a couple of folks got ETPs approved for it, but I imagine they're hard to come by.
-
I keep checking my surf but it hasn't updated since 02 Jan! Lol. I wanna know nooooow! *looks like it updated 08 Jan but still no projected assignment loaded.
-
I mean... I'm not on the board but at least those numbers are better than most! Just a part of your overall, but a solid part nonetheless. My CC is trying to get ahold of the list to look up ENJJPT things. We'll see if someone has it.

UPT select: PCSM 86/82 hrs Also a 28yo 1LT

Can't say for sure, but I'd understand if they chose ppl/high flight hour folks. I'm not sure what their criteria is.
