Here4CAS — I apologize for high jacking your thread, but I have a similar dilemma.
I currently have a seat in the May Columbus UPT class, however; family complications have occurred in the past month. I’d like to push my date back a couple months (late June-Aug) if possible. I’m not picky about my location as long as it falls in this window. If anyone is interested, please let me know!

Just signed my training RIP -- MFS date of 26 Feb.
Is this your first time completing MFS? Or is it a second visit as ‘CCT BEAT ME ONE’ alluded to above?

Hearing no RIPs until after the new year for UPT either, and that there are new tests so EVERYONE is going to have to process through MFS again... yep-to include more vision tests.
Are you saying everyone has to return to WPAFB before UPT? Does this include ANG folks? Any specifics on the tests you’re referring to?

I believe FTG stands for flying training group, which performs admin functions for all flyers.

Mine was approved in Apr and those given TFOT dates were approved in early June.

I received my FY20 IFT TLN last week.
Two other UPT selects in my squadron received their TFOT TLN at the same time.

Fortunately, I was in the same unit from my initial commissioning commitment. My leadership let me move over to the Airlift Squadron as they were aware of my unfortunate news in 2015.
If you’re willing to share, what unit were you originally hired with?

I was in the same boat as you 4 years ago. Since the new CCT standard was published, I secured another UPT slot, passed my FC1, and will begin UPT in April.
It will go a long way if you are up front with units about your past and how you now meet the requirement.
Hell, if I was you — I’d reach out to the unit that previously selected me and explain the situation. If they aren’t willing to take another chance on you and your scores are good and you’re a decent bro, you’ll get picked up elsewhere.
When is your ARNG commitment up? This seems like the biggest (yet one that can be overcome) roadblock.

You’ll have to take them to alterations to have them sew the velcro on. They typically have velcro in stock, so you just pay for it there. You can buy flags online or at a clothing sale store. I purchased my flags and AETC patches from www.aviatorgear.com, but there are a ton of different places that carry everything you need. One piece of advice, make sure they sew the larger velcro pieces on *both* sides and not just enough velcro for the flag patch (they did this to me and I had to take them back to have it redone).
Did you get your pencil flap removed as well?

You don't need to buy flight boots they will be issued
Going to UPT soon as well and my guard unit is telling me that I have to buy my boots since I’m an officer. Any reference that contradicts this statement?

Bob,
Thanks for the reply and offer! From your posting history, it appears your are an AD member. I believe I can only swap 1-for-1 with other ANG members.
