Have any of you other captains not had the chance to attend SOS yet? The UPT and follow on training timeline makes me fairly concerned as far as getting that done before Maj PRFs are due

Anyone have any luck with their IFT DTS auth and driving your POV vs flying? The email I just got said the directed mode was flying, but I’d rather have my POV even if I’m not reimbursed for everything (or at least up to the cost of the flights)

1 Nov here too. I’ll join after my MFS is blessed off 😂

Officer Unaccompanied Housing (580-213-5410). MHO also verified Capts+ are off base

Just called Vance and got the same answer. Capts+ not required on base unless you request it

I’ll end up just reaching out to Vance. Everything the have posted in the new student guide seems geared toward brand new 2Lts vs Capts with a ton of HHGs

Not sure I’ve done the rotating C color test. Last one I did was matching letters on the laptop with a grey background

Is there a written rule somewhere about the Capt+ being able to go straight off base? Everything I’ve read is if you’re “single” you can be on the hook for on base.

True. I was just saying what my unit purchased for me. I’ll be buying a blank set without them

My unit added Cyber Wings with the name, since they’re mandatory wear….. I’ve seen dudes go through IFT with some generic black or leather looking name patches but I don’t know where they got them from

I’ve typically gotten a response within a few hours

For what it’s worth my PDD is 1 Sept for 1 Nov class, so maybe everyone can calculate it that way unless it’s just a coincidence it’s exactly 60 days out like what was mentioned earlier

Had to email DP2OR because my MFS was rescheduled, and they responded with a screenshot of the system showing all my dates. I wasn’t sure if anyone else had heard when they start or not

Anyone else with Vance and an 11/1 UPT start?

Anyone know why IFT is scheduled for a month and a half? Got my RIP for 1 Mar when AFPC was saying late spring/summer. Either I’ll PCS earlier than they said (Fall) or it’ll be an awkwardly long amount of time between IFT and UPT

I have bad memories from my MFS in college…. Got knocked out for color vision under the old standards. Fingered crossed I can pass for a third time under the current standards. Maybe this visit to Wright-Pat is redemption!

Vance/Columbus/Laughlin for me

I reached out to AFPC/DP2OR about generic timelines for UPT selects specifically and was told their working to load MFS dates right now for those that need it, followed by IFT. Not sure if it's the same for everyone, but I was told late Spring-Summer for IFT and Fall PCS......... a bit later than I had hoped.

I would double check the Board Results document before you decline if that's what you decide to do. I think there's a blurb in there that states if you had an approved ETP for age, then you are not eligible to reapply. I could be wrong though.
