Any word on COVID-19 affecting UPT dates? The instruction I saw said no PCS and TDY's until May, does that mean everyone will be pushed to the right two months?

That's frustrating. Will be 2 years from being hired by then, and your buddies were already in the pipeline too..

Some issues with FC1 sitting on desks and paperwork to be gained, but eventually: Jan 2020: Gained to unit. The way I hear it is all IFT/UPT dates are fall-out as this point, does anyone have any recent news on this front? Would prefer not to have to wait 8 months, but also would like more than 3 days...or a weeks notice. IFT: ??? UPT: ??? Possibly SERE/aquatic survival before? Thanks everyone.

Are the IFT/UPT dates given out here to be expected for Guard/Reserve hires if our dates are to be requested soon as well? Everything else lined up, medical etc.

Has anyone received IFT/UPT dates recently? Wondering what the time from request to receiving dates and then how far out those dates are. Thanks

Do you have anymore info to expand on this? I'm a few months out from my FC1 and haven't heard anything other than I'd passed it and waiting for the stamp.

Ah this doesn't give me hope...I'm sure my 368 has expired by now..

I've a buddy who got hired in Sept 2017, our Naval IRR unit didn't get his 369 submitted until Dec after they released that Navadmin saying Navy wouldn't release anyone. He finally got his FC1 done late April '19....keep pressing.

Any idea why it took 8 months post FC1 and 6 months from the stamp for your dates? I'm 3.5 months out from FC1, unofficially told I passed 2.5 months ago and now radio silence. I don't need TFOT, so hoping to get IFT dates that start in Nov or Dec..

I'm gettin ahead of myself as I'm waiting for UPT orders, not sure if I would want go airlines yet but it's nice to look into options. There's a lot between now and then of course. But, out of curiosity, does the 750 hours mark mean nothing for the airlines? And you mention the amount of new hires being brought in. How long do you industry guys foresee the hiring going on for? Another 5 years, say? A lot can change in that time, I'm just trying to form an idea of what my future may look like as a future part time guard guy.

You could try pushing for an etp? Standards may have changed. If need raised the age to 33 maybe an etp is possible. Something to look into if you wanted.

As someone heading to UPT for the guard at some point soon, if I decide to change from my engineering career...this is what I would want haha. Heh, not the best place for this comment to drop in given the current discussion

You're going to fill out a new DD2807 and send it in a week or so before you arrive. Just stay congruent is my advice. I believe the folks at WP will have access your Tricare and MEPS (ime in the reserves they had some stuff but not everything since I'd commissioned into another branch so I'm really not sure) but they're only going to pull the applicable ones. My suggestion is obviously to not outright hide anything, but some things aren't necessary to share and to be honest, they don't want to deal with more paperwork for something minor if they don't have to. If they have found something they're interested in then they will ask you about it during your med background interview while you're there. But they're not going to grill you over it and nothing you said seems disqualifying. Don't overthink it. They want you to succeed.

Take a look at what I attached. All testing locations and their numbers. Maybe it would open up opportunities. Testing Locations.pdf

Anyone know the wait time for for a lat transfer, not needing TFOT, but who needs to go to IFT once the medical is approved/stamped? Basically, what is the lead time to IFT/UPT post-FC1 (completed but I don't believe it's stamped yet).
