One of my friends is at UPT. I guess that would explain their snap stories from a bunch of travel locations that aren't at their UPT base! Really sorry you're getting caught in the middle of this and I hope there's a way to remedy things soon. FUPT -> F***ed Up Pilot Training

https://www.laughlin.af.mil/News/News/Display/Article/4206191/boosting-readiness-aetcs-plan-to-train-1500-pilots-annually/ TLDR; sounds pretty FUPT up to me.

With that kind of resume, leave the dang PCSM alone. 88 isn't bad.

This forum doesn't have as much traffic as it used to. Plus, UPT is going through a lot of changes right now.

I'm assuming you already have your CAC. If you have a CAC reader at home, log into af.okta.mil and go to vMPF. Once in vMPF, click on career data brief (CDB). Scroll down to the 'Projected Assignment' section on the right. It should tell you there what course is loaded. Vance legacy is PV4AU. Alternatively, call your unit's CSS and ask. With a UPT start of September as a civilian hire, you are likely going through the legacy syllabus. There's no way they could fit you in OTS, IPT, and then UPT in the span of 4 months.

Close to the 1.5 year mark of the process, but I finally got my approval from NGB at the end of March. Still unclear how OTS and UCT dates are requested since some of the process is different for an off the street guy supposedly. Anyway, here is my timeline: Timeline (Prior Army AD, Break in service) AFOQT: Early October 2022 TBAS: Late October 2022 MEPS (for a different program that didn't pan out): March 2023 Interview: 2 October 2023 Verbal Offer: 3 October 2023 SG Waiver for enlistment submitted: 20 November 2023 SG Waiver returned for consult & documents: 7 December 2023 Consult & documents submitted to SG: 28 December 2023 SG Waiver Approved: 19 January 2024 Swearing In: 29 January 2024 FC1A: Exam on 13 April 2024, Routed by MDG on 3 July 2024, Approved 9 August 2024 (no waivers) A2A Sent: 31 October 2024 (recruiting was swamped for a while) State Approval: 10 December 2024 NGB Approval: 27 March 2025 OTS: ___ UCT: ___

Definitely one of the funniest self-reports I've ever seen lmao

Yikes.

I would definitely try to rectify the IFT thing. To the rest of you, congrats on probably being the last few to get a normal UPT experience!

Trump just stated the journalist was added to the chat by a Waltz staffer. The plot thickens. On the bright side, this incident may finally push units and command teams to use DOD-approved messaging apps instead of the cowboy stuff we've been seeing.

Boeing got the NGAD contract before we got GTA 6 smh.

It should as long as it's still within the valid period of what? 48 months I think?

The plan is for the other bases to do IPT come Fall.

Average X user discovers great circle routes.

So what you're saying is we need a HUD or projection-type solution that converts ADS-B in and RemoteID position data into a 2D marker. It's an easier solution than we realize (it could probably be done with a raspberry pi), but innovation runs at the speed of turtle.
