[Mil Comp after SUPT 2.5]

Looking for any 2.5ers who have 'graduated' and/or finished phase 3 and hit up the FAA for those Commercial/Instrument tickets.  Any issues with the FSDO not liking the new syllabus/documentation?  Trying to stick you with a ASEL instead of AMEL?  Good gouge on what exactly to bring with (aside from the written test cert)?  Thanks all.

My rnltd was 15 Nov, got my pdd moved to 17 Sep and got here (CMB) on 20 Sep. There's been some moving and shaking on class dates with the advent of 2.5, I had volunteered to jump in a class starting 30 Nov that now doesn't exist because of a reduction in class size, so now I'm looking to start 27 Jan 22.  Also, hey there @beef16 looks like we'll be classmates. Drop me a PM if you want my contact info or any of the local area Intel.

@AOF I got mine in an email when I was bugging AFPC on the regular.  Just got my assignment RIP but no training RIP yet, that's where I'd assume it will be. 

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

Ask and ye shall receive... used @beef16's method, called the css who got right back to me and assignment dropped this evening.  Heading to Columbus NLT 15 Nov to start class 28 Jan although we are going to look at pushing the departure date to the left.  See you guys there!

[Can anyone give recent FC1/MFS Experience?]

Just got back from MFS yesterday, about as smooth a process as I could have hoped for.  Can confirm all of the previous reports about the techs being great, they have their work down to a science.  ONLY tricky part was finding the office to begin with if you're coming from lodging on the shuttle.  Attached pic should help you avoid the wandering I did around the USAFSAM building.  The rooms you are looking for are W103 (breakroom) and W105 (actual MFS cube-farm).

We (group of 5 off of the AD board) started up about 0745 and were headed back to lodging by 1430.  Started the day with weight, standing and sitting height, butt to knees etc which took about 2min per person.  After a short spell in the break room, over to optometry for color vision and a couple eye scans. No puffs, no charts or depth perception, about 5 min per person. 

Another bit cooling our heels in the break room followed while we waited for the psych testing lady to get free.  She brought us to the computer lab where we did four tests that took 30-45 mins a piece with a 5ish min break in between, and that was that. 

Had one guy in the group that had to hang back for eye dilation because of a prior issue, the rest of us were cleared off after a quick check to make sure there weren't any alibis.  They told us we can expect our form 600 to be available Monday, I'll update this post with how that goes if anything is particularly difficult about that.  It was really nice that we had the 'good to go' before we left for the day, the staff were happy to answer any/all questions we had about the whole process.

Finally getting some traction... According to AFPC via email this 'could move left but is the best target right now'.  Didn't think it would be this far away (I'm a Maj, old dude so expected to go soonest).  Anyone else seeing progress yet?  I'm curious if that's really the earliest available date. 

UPT Class 23-05, CSD 28 Jan 22 (No location given)

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

Doesn't sound like it, they had to to the scheduling for those first but it doesn't sound like you need MFS complete to get your UPT assignment 

 

EDIT: For anyone who didn't get the email Mr Hornburg just sent out, they were trying to have all the assignments loaded this week but milpds is migrating (I'm assuming north for the summer) so new target is end of next week.

Just emailed AFPC yesterday with the same question; they said assignments are being loaded now, should be flowing in the system NLT mid next week.  Picture is fr the UFT board page on the rated assignments portal. 

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

Don't mind me... Just over on the vMPF trying to will that assignment notification into existence...

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

Anyone had movement on RIPs/assignments or anything related to training timelines (other than MFS)?

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

@URTHopeful2021 210-565-2542 should take you there, I left a few messages but didn't get a callback although that was right around release/ice storm time. Mr Hornburg does seem to get on the rated assignments portal fairly often and answered a couple of my questions there. 

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

Yup understood... I just found it curious that I got the RIP but no dates in CDB while others have the date loaded there but no RIP. AF standard amirite?

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

@beef16 @Jdmuehle Where are you guys seeing it on the cdb?  I don't have anything in the projected training section.

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

Just got my MFS RIP, 8 Apr

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

Happy public release day everyone. My boss asked me to wait until today before I posted: UPT select.  99 pilot 92 PCSM. 

45 slots is a really thin year... Hope those of you who can nail it next time around.

the PSDM goes from MPF to your Wg/CC. i would ask your CC to reach out and up the chain. you can always call MPF and ask the flight commander if the PSDM has made it to wing leadership yet. 

This. Just had the same Convo with my squadron commander, he said the wing will be reaching out.

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

Grats man!

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

Grats man!  Talk about having an inside track haha

The same one as AFPC 😞

Was afraid of that... @URTHopeful2021 and I have hit them up on the portal and by email on whether the list still went out, whoever gets word first will post for the greater good (the greater gooooood) soon as we know

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

Funny not funny @Av8... Definitely maybe though.  From what Mr Hornburg said it should be automated in the system by this point, so here's hoping. 

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

That was actually me asking the question. Based on previous years, the PSDM went live at 0900 central. At that point it's up to the MPF to be proactive... Or for us/our bosses to start bugging them. The nightly email is a backstop to make sure it's known, that thing goes out everyday as a roll-up not just for our board results.  So I'll be watching the email closely tomorrow morning and tapping the execs as 0801 haha (I'm mountain time). 

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

So how's the last couple weeks been going for everyone else?  You know, since Thursday?

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

And I believe @URTHopeful2021 wins the release date pool (from original predictions). You win the same prize as the rest of us: one more long weekend of waiting. Congrats!

[2021 Active Duty Flying Training Board]

From Mr. Hornburg on the portal page, it goes out to all FSSs/MPFs as a PSDM and they should forward it to applicable commander types from there.  I'd get in touch with your Boss or their execs (if you haven't already) and let them know you're looking for these results and to tap their local personnelists.  Looking at the PSDM from last year backs this up, memo for line is "ALL FSSs, A1s, J1s, PERSCOs".
