Selected for RPA. Anyone know what to expect for the pipeline? Im told its no longer a PCS. Anyone hear anything different?

I appreciate the response. It is hard to bring family along when kids are all school age unfortunately...

So I might be stretching here but Im hoping to get as much info as possible and hoping someone here might be able to answer some questions I had. First a little back story. When I applied for this board, I did so with the intention of accepting only a CSO slot and potentially a RPA slot. Recently I found out I was medically disqualified from CSO so I am trying to find out as much info as possible about RPA. All my questions are involving the pipeline. I know the it involves IFT (2 months), then 4.5 months at Randolph, and then 5 months at Holloman. However, AFPC is telling me these are all TDYs now and they are no longer PCSing families. Is the Air Force really separating all RPA candidates from there families for 11.5 months to go through the pipeline? It seems outrageous to me, even if they are allowing a couple weeks in between to go back to your previous station. Also any ideas on how many people generally deny RPA slots? Hoping one opens up for me now that I cannot get CSO.
