    Thanks for the info! Did you pick your MFS date or did they assign it? Was it the earliest you could or did you delay it for any reason? Also, did you hear of the timelines for anyone who did not need to go to IFT?

    They ended up giving me an original MFS date that didn’t work with short notice schedules/flights coming from overseas. I reached out to AFPC and requested some flexibility - they were really willing to work with scheduling to get things shifted around to accommodate life events, travel and leave en route within a couple days of the request. 
     

    Not sure on the timeline for those who didn’t need to go through IFT. Based on the results and timeline from last year, I suspect you’d hit MFS in March/April, then wait for orders to shake down for your PCS late 2023. Pure speculation, but I can ask around our class and ask if there’s anything else to pass along for those circumventing IFT and if there’s any left shift to UPT RNLTD.

    That's encouraging to hear. Gets my hopes up we'll find out this coming week.

    How soon did you receive orders and pcs?

    Orders were dated 29 March 2022,
    MFS was beginning of March, IFT at the end of April to the end of May, PCS'd mid-October. The 4 months between end of IFT before the PCS from the losing unit were a little chaotic...fully expect productivity in your current AFSC to drop off to 0

    Anybody with a 17 Mar IFT start date?  I got the RIP yesterday but it says 9 May CGD.  That can't be right, it should be April sometime.

    I'm in the 21 April class, but the length of course on my RIP says 56 days. I'm not sure if there's flexibility for repeat rides and weather? I was confused too since the Ed & Trng site says only 5.5 weeks

    Still no joy on the assignment doing the EFMP trick…showing I don’t have an assignment. Also did those of you going to MFS get an email with any guidance on what LOA to use in DTS? So far all I’ve been sent is the MFS forms/questionnaire/Covid protocol. 

    Nope. Still haven’t gotten anything other than the RIP yet…

    I reached out to AFPC because I have a DEROS this May.  Recommend you do the same if your DEROS is soon.  He told me that I have IFT in April and start ENJJPT in Sep.  Also, he said they are not doing IFT enroute anymore because people have washed out and then been in a PCS holding pattern...

    Since my DEROS isn't until next summer, I'm wondering how it'll be affected. Thanks for the insight, and I'll plan on reaching out next week if nothing is loaded by this weekend. I'll see you at Apr IFT!

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

    Bean, I was having issues with that last week, but I received wise advice to reach up to your Sq/Gp exec staff to request assistance. If the uniforms are something your unit agrees to provide, they can point you to the right person or resource. Through a few phone calls and favors, mine was able to point me to a flying squadron that had an extra supply which is another avenue you could try.

    Brings me to a uniform question: does anyone know what color each UPT base name patch is supposed to be? I was told from previous IFT classes that your assigned UPT base typically has an associated color for the name patch, which makes it easy to see who will be going to which UPT base at a glance during IFT; since I haven't gotten any indication of my UPT base, I'm tempted to make 3 different ones...
