I dont think so. I have not seen behind the veil of MPF, but I think the training RIP is just a formality to accept the training, in order for them to allow you to PCS. For context, I was wondering the same thing last week. I submitted the training RIP as is (showing TDY) and got my PCS notification in vMPF less than 48 hours later.

ViperMan/brabus That is music to my ears. Thank you both! No part of me wants to do anything but fly, I just wasn't sure what was "required" for career progression. A lot of my mentors have a 62E background and therefore haven't been able to provide a ton of insight on career progression in the flying communities. Oh and Antman.....

I am a current AD 62E Officer who was lucky enough to get picked up for UPT on this year’s Active-Duty UFT Board. I am thrilled to finally be living out the dream but am seeking advice for those who have been in my shoes.....late to rate. I am a 1st Lt who, pending any drastic UPT scheduling delays, should be completing UPT right around the time I hit Capt. As someone who is currently removed from the flying community, I have all of these aspirations for making the most of my flying time, and hope to get plenty of operational experience, and even have hopes of potentially attending WIC. I also (potentially naively?) plan to retire, as I sit here at a little over 2.5 years AD time under my belt. I say that because I want to be sure to check any boxes required to ensure desirable career progression (things like a staff tour). Seeking out any and all tips/tricks/insight on making the most of my initial operational time and becoming an asset in my MDS, while not derailing my career. Unsure if advice would differ by platform, but for contexts sake, the dream is to strap into the Viper, but after 2.5 years of driving exclusively my keyboard, I would be happy flying anything. P.S. I know this is likely unnecessary stress this early in my career, but I am a planner, what can I say.
