Friendly reminder to anyone interested that if you haven't started your IFC I physical, do so now. Mine took roughly 5 months to finish waiting on a waiver to get approved. Good luck!

Anyone know if for IFT there is a PT test Day 1 or if masks are required with the updated COVID guidance?

When I messaged the org box they sent back a chart showing all my dates (MFS, IFT and UPT start date). I ironically have no RNLTD but they gave me the same gouge of 45-60 days before class start date.

If any of you do not have training dates yet I would hit up the AFPC org box. Found out I am going to Vance for the 11/1 UPT class but more importantly I have an IFT date of 17 Mar which was WAY closer than I expected. Glad I reached out.

I might hit you up on that offer. My training rip got sent to the wrong squadron so I am dealing with that right now but I am going to MFS on 10 Mar too

Thank you for the insight! Any specific source you recommend? I'm assuming I just get measured at a local tailor shop and send in the measurements when it is purchased

Does anybody know how we get flight suits and if they are being issued?

Email the org box about your situation. They said they have flexibility to move dates around with dates up until 31 March.

I was under the impression that after MFS that you would PCS and go to IFT from there. IP friends of mine told me they never had anyone go to IFT prior to their PCS.

Gotta do what's best for you and the fam! If guard/reserves is an option for you check out bogidope.com. At one point I was looking at the guard route and that website is phenomenal for see what is out there. Best of luck to you!

I concur with this. Someone last year got selected with a 50 PCSM and in FY18 the lowest PCSM was a 20 for UPT. So many factors come into play that anyone has a chance no matter what their numbers look like.

So I am trying to submit a waiver to retake the AFOQT a third time to improve my AFOQT Pilot/PCSM score. The main acceptance criteria for a third retake I am trying to leverage is having "significant flying time" as stated in the AFMAN. I have 23 flight hours since I last took the AFOQT and was curious if anybody has any success with getting this waiver to retake approved. Any insight is appreciated.

Sorry for the confusion but yes this situation is what I was referring to in my initial question. On another note, for all those non-selects, are you all in rated career fields already? I’m speculating right now but it looks like the rated functionals are denying people releases when they could have been picked up for pilot with their high scores, total amount of flight time and PPLs. I’d be livid if I spent all my time/money into flying only to have a functional deny my release after the board met. If my logic is flawed please let me know!

If you don’t mind me asking did you get an ETP? I thought you we’re only allowed to try two times max?

Just so I’m getting some context you are already rated and (im assuming) only applied for Pilot correct? Those scores are stellar and I’m shocked you didn’t get picked with those scores.
