    I was told your Wright Patt physical and IFC physical needs to be within 4 years of each other to skip MFS.

    I am in the same boat as you. Passed everything but color in July 2014, so I will probably be heading back up there.  

    I haven't heard about this new C version of the CCT, is that live now, or what?

    My 2808 didn’t say pending MFS, it just said MFS completed in 2015. So I think I’m good.

     

    as for the CCT, I’m honestly not familiar enough with it to give you any type of info. The new color vision standards are pretty forgiving so I’m sure you’ll be fine if you passed your FC1

    The color vision test I took during MFS and my most recent FC1 were exactly the same. I’ve never had any issues so didn’t require any further testing. I took the test with the red, blue and green letters. However, the standards for passing are now 50% as opposed to 100% 5 years ago. So there’s some wiggle room.

    So if I’m understanding you guys correctly, you don’t already have a class 1 physical completed? At least I have that done.hah

    You have to have an FC1 done to even apply. So yes we do have ours done. MFS is required if picked up for RPA or pilot. It’s essentially another FC1 with all the same doctors so that the Air Force has a standardized way of medically evaluating all applicants to eliminate any local bias at local flight med clinics. They may also give additional testing if required.

    I can confirm what is being said from earlier discussions, that big AF is looking to scale back production of pilots to "ease the pipeline".  Apparently many of the UPT bases are getting burn out from the high volume of students.  I recall the numbers going from ~1400 FY19 to about 1000 FY20.  

    Do you have a reference/article? The most recent FY2020 NDAA calls for 1480.

    training for year FY20. ANG boards are scheduled and conducted at wing's discretion. With ANG boards, once someone is hired he/she is pushed thru pipeline until a slot is handed down from NGB. It usually takes about 1.5 to 2 years from hired to UPT. 

    On a side note, I talked to a bro that works at Randolph that heard a rumor that both CSO and ABM are in critical demand. High number of folks declined the slot at last at years board. Probably why the total numbers why be up this year (lots of CSOs and ABM, decrease in pilot slots) 

    Does your bro have any other info regarding FY20 AD pilot slots?

     

    i don’t blame the guys last year that turned down CSO and ABM slots. It’s too bad you have to “apply” to all of the rated jobs even if you’re only after pilot.

    If that is true, that really worries me. If they did that, and we felt the repercussions, there would be a lot of dudes getting out at 4 years. 

    I think earlier in this thread, someone stated that ROTC didn’t fill all their pilot allocations so if that’s accurate, it will cushion the blow for us on the AD board. IF everything stayed above of true. It’s just conjecture at this point though.
