Duck, thanks for the response. I have heard of this email, but not sure my command is tracking it. We have spoken about it before and they don't really know a path either. Any chance I could get you to forward me that email?

I find myself in an interesting situation. Love my squadron but we are entering a transition. I won't fly the new aircraft for a few years. In the meantime, I would like to go back to UPT or UCT and instruct. Does anyone know of a path for an ANG pilot to do this? Any ideas? With ADOS, MPA, PFI there has to be a way, right? Filling a need with someone willing and able to fly seems like an easy kill to my smooth brain. Any info or ideas would be really helpful.

Pretty much. Maintaining proficiency, continue building time, etc.

Need some advice. I finished UPT at the end of last year. My guard squadron is going through a transition meaning that I will likely not be flying much after IQT/MQT/MEST. I’ll be sitting at about 300-400 hours at that point. Does anyone think the civilian T6 job would be willing to waive the time requirements for someone that is UPT complete considering the job requires the applicant to complete UPT?

Any updates on the AO stuff? Heard some rumors about the Air Tractors design problems.

Just so people are aware, seems that all age waivers are frozen at NGB right now. A3 is reaching back to units for justification on a case by case basis.

185th in OKC is hiring CSO's if anyone reading this is interested.

Very tight lipped. Honestly impressive. We heard rumblings this morning so I was trying to confirm. Looks like we were both on the same scent.

Exciting news! Where'd you hear this?

Looks like this announcement is for FMS. Interesting timing none the less. https://investor.textron.com/news/news-releases/press-release-details/2022/Textron-Aviation-Defense-Beechcraft-AT-6E-Wolverine-achieves-Military-Type-Certification-from-the-United-States-Air-Force/default.aspx

Has anyone seen anything regarding the source selection for AO? Is this the best kept secret in the DoD?

Do you know who submits for dates once approval letters are sent out? Is it an internal NGB process or does base training need to submit a formal request?

How were you notified of approval? Thank ya
