    What's my quickest / best route in at this point?

    Thanks for your response. I was going to ask, it seemed like there were no RPA slots on the recent drops thread, I wasn't sure if they were being excluded or not. I don't know a whole lot about the OTS to UPT route so I'll have to research it more. I thought that if you apply to OTS boards, you could end up stuck either with a pilot, RPA, CSO, or ABM.

    You can be stuck with RPA, CSO, or ABM if you list them on your application package. I listed pilot and CSO in the last board and got picked up for CSO. You may apply for pilot only, but your AD recruiter or interviewing officer may give you a lecture about the needs of the AF or being an officer first, aviator second. YMMV.

    Many applicants who listed pilot only got phone calls saying they were not selected for pilot and were offered CSO instead.

    I got the TFCSD waiver signed recently with 11 years of prior commissioned service. Former active duty CSO, then Guard CSO, soon to be RPA pilot. The unit wrote the letter and handled the process, all I had to do was get them to hire me.

    Cavet that it took over 2 years for my package to be complete with all waivers signed, but that’s more of a hit on the Guard training bureaucracy than the TFCSD process specifically. 

    Good luck!

    Slightly off topic question for you:

    As a rated CSO applying for RPA, is your PCSM still a factor? Not sure if those scores become ancient history after you get your wings.

    Greetings,

    I'm currently looking for some insight on what the process for an AD CSO looking to be sent to UPT by a Guard or Reserve unit will look like. I understand this is a touchy subject. To my knowledge, the immediate barriers are:

    1. Age requirement (waiverable)

    2. Less than 5 years commissioned service requirement (unsure if waiverable)

    Are there any other considerations that come to mind? I'm not sure if this route is a viable option.
