    I wonder how it will work with a DEROS. I can’t imagine they would send (me in particular) to MFS for a day and then back to Korea. Especially with all the COVID and PCR test requirements, not to mention dateline travel/jet lag. Hoping they just send those of us overseas to our UPT base for casual status and then to subsequent MFS & IFT as needed.

    I wouldn't be shocked if they still send you to WP knowing Big Blue. Reason being, they want to ensure that folks are fully medically qualified before PCsing them.

    Literally what I have been wondering all day, called MPF, reached up in chain, and haven’t heard anything. Also reached out to my old base (I PCS’d after I sent my package up) and nothing. If someone has heard something, what did you do to get the info? 

    No word from your old base yet big guy. Still waiting here as well.

    Wouldn't be surprised if COVID delays it, Randolph is starting to get hit hard.

    They had the winter storm last year and they were still able to work remotely and get everything out close to on track, so I think we will be good. The folks in the office down there at AFPC are pretty transparent so I will take them at their word.

    Exactly how I feel! Do you think you have a strong shot at getting UCT since most people put pilot as number one?

    Yeah, I feel my odds are pretty solid. I had my rank order: CSO, ABM, RPA and Pilot. Qualified for all, but with the ability for me to retire in less than 10 years I like to keep my options open. I also worked for a CSO and ABM previously and drank all of the kool-aid. I was 1 of 1 out of my Wing, my AFOQT scores are decent and the whole package should def be competitive for CSO or ABM. Knowing that the rank order holds significant weight helps as well since they want to push people into career fields that want to do it, instead of pushing people who put CSO number 4 into it knowing that they will likely decline it. 

    I had to get a ETP for age and was approved for all Rated Career Fields and would be more than happy to go to the operational world in ANY AFSC. This was a major factor in putting CSO and ABM 1 and 2 as well. I have a 64 PCSM and do not have a PPL so I know that puts me below those who are usually selected for Pilot already.

    My wife is going stir crazy over this and on top of that we're on the summer VML, a lot of what ifs. But I'm getting an assignment one way or another at the end of the month.

    Have others in your current AFSC received assignments? If they have that is likely a good sign since the assignments team receive the OM from the board to help in making determinations of who will be released.

     

    I know a guy who has had all of his peers receive assignments for the Summer VML, but he has not. It seems that the reason being is due to possible selection.

    Based on the info I was passed on public release, since they are awaiting a meeting later this week with folks at the top to bless everything. 

    After reading the email again, based on meeting with the folks later this week it could be possible for CC release towards the end of the week. Knowing how the AF works, I think early next week is more likely.
