Can finally fill out my timeline: Prior AD/O3/PPL AFOQT/TBAS: September 2019 (retake after several years) Board: Hired Guard heavies September 2020 FC1: December 2020 Separated AD: 1 May 2021, immediately joined unit in my current AFSC (Palace Front) NGB packet submitted: July 2021 NGB packet kicked back because I needed a TFCS ETP (long story): September 2021 TFCS ETP signed by NGB/CF: Late November 2021 NGB packet re-submitted (with ETP): December 2021 NGB A1 approval of packet: February 2022 UPT 2.5 at Vance: 30 November 2022 (notified of dates last week)

NGB A1 typically sends a courtesy copy of the approval to A3 as a heads up, but your unit and/or local training shop needs to submit the request to A3

Based on the last few packages I’m aware of (including mine), I’d estimate between 60-90 days. Mine took right around 2 months.
