Congrats to you too! I'll let you know when I find out. I'm just hoping I won't have to become a bartender waiting for a class.

I don't know anyone at AETC. I just kept bugging the coordinator that I worked with at Wright/Patt about every 2-3 weeks. I'm not sure where it was sitting for the ~2 months between when it was approved and when I got it, but they did say that if you have been gained by your unit, they will get notified. Since I'm still in the Army, that didn't happen.

Another Green to Blue guy here (currently active duty rotary wing officer). So far my timeline looks like: AFOQT: FEB 18 TBAS: MAR 18 Interview/Hired: JUN 18 DD368 Approved: SEP18 Army Separation Packet Approved: OCT18 FC1 Scheduled Notification: OCT18 (Originally scheduled for JAN19, but they were able to get me in NOV18) FC1: NOV18 FC1 Stamped: JAN19 (although nobody ever notified me when it was approved, so I didn't get it until MAR19 and missed the AFRC Board) AFRC UPT Board: Will submit in MAY 19 Separation from Army: SEP19 (Thank God!) Since I'm already and officer and I have my PPL, I understand I will go straight UPT. I'm hoping to minimize my break in service, so do any of you see an issue with the time between the AFRC board (May19) and my separation date (late Sep19)? Ideally, I would go inprocess with the 340th the day after my separation date.

@FlyArmy is right. The inter-service transfer is for people who are already qualified to perform their duties in their new branch. Since we RW guys still have to go to UPT, we have to separate entirely before swearing into the Air Force. I just dropped my UQR last week. Though I’m curious as to where you heard you can get out of your ADSO. I’m a year out from my Flight school ADSO, and aviation branch pretty much laughed in my face when I asked for an ADSO waiver even though I already got offered a job with a Reseve unit. I would suggest focusing on getting hired first. Depending on your ADSO date, you should be able adjust your separation date to coincide with the date you are able to commission in the Air Force to avoid a break in service. I may end up eating my words, but I’ll let you know how it works out for me.

I submitted my DD368 a month or so ago. The aviation branch chief said they are not approving any ADSO waivers for the foreseeable future. I may try again now that I got hired by a reserve unit, but I still have a little over a year left of my ADSO. I’m not holding my breath though. I heard that they have about 120 post-command aviation captain slots to fill an only about 30 available on the upcoming manning cycle.
