Do you love hearing the statement "it all depends". If your recruiter has all the proper paperwork settled when it hits Joint Force HQ of your state, it will get get checked over for accuracy there, any missing items will be figured out there. NGB gets 7 slots for FC1/2/3 at Wright Patterson per week.
Once it hits NGB, it could be quick or slow depending on what state your from as there is an analyst assigned for certain regions, so all depends on how busy they already are.
I appreciate it!

Hi all- the recruiter handling my enlistment passed some timeline info along and I wanted to see if that checked with others in similar situations. I finished MEPs in December and my unit's medical group now has my MEPs packet. Recruiter said the packet has to go through SAS (?), then through the wing, and then up to the ATAG and then the NGB prior to enlisting/ getting FC1 dates. Any rough estimates on how long that should take? Mucho comprendo that the whole process is lengthy, delayed, and frustratingly long: just want an idea how how long is acceptable before knocking on doors to keep things moving. Cheers

Not sure how it works when you already were picked up but I had PRK a long time ago and can't emphasize enough just finding a good doctor, sticking with the eye drop regimen religiously. If you're hired do you have to go to a USAF physician to get it done or is it still on your dime to find a surgeon yourself?
Not sure- I'd assume it's still on my own dime until I'm able to swear in.. which from my understanding is somewhere between MEPS and FC1 or directly after FC1 assuming the NGB approves the paperwork. At this point I'm just stoked to have a slot, but it seems like it'll be a while before OTS and that's without the added time of the PRK wait times.

Hi all-
Long time lurker but got picked up off the street at a ANG fighter unit a few months ago and was curious to see if anyone is in the same situation I'm in- my contacts are just slightly out of FC1 limits (-3.25 both eyes) so it looks like I'll have to get LASIK/PRK. I'm working with my unit's flight doc regarding timeline of surgery + going to MEPS and Wright Pat. Anyone had a similar timeline or experience of getting hired at a unit and then needing eye surgery? Trying to work the 6 month wait time prior to FC1 in since it's projected that I wouldn't even head to OTS until sometime 12-14 months down the road. Thanks!
AFOQT/TBAS: June 2020
Board: Fall 2020
Hired: Fall 2020
MEPS: Scheduled Jan 2021
Enlistment: ???

Same. I doubt they do, as there are probably well over 200 applications this year
Was able to get a confirmation from the POC yesterday! Goodluck to everyone!

I know it's been about a week since this was asked, but has anyone heard back from Jax yet since the video submissions?
Not yet....

Anyone that interviewed at Hawaii or did the 2nd round video submission for JAX hear back yet?

Got the TBNT from Hawaii last night, and Tucson just now. Congrats to those invited!
Sorry to hear that man- did you interview at Hawaii or was it just in response to the application?

Phone interviews were last week.. still waiting to hear back about next round but a friend of mine who had a phone interview already got the TBNT email. I guess no news is good news?
Guard/Reserve timeline to UPT

Timeline update for non-prior at a guard fighter unit:
Been almost 1.5ish years since getting hired off the street - seems like 2+ to UPT is the new norm with how long the pipeline and process is taking. Totally understand patience is key here with COVID backups and what not.. anyone else experiencing something similar?
