My first FC1-related appt was lab work back in April, a few days ago i got the approved FC1 with "pending MFS" like you mentioned. I don't know all so now im questioning if that means i have to go back to Wright Pat? Anyone know? As for the blank box like Parsons mentioned, i can see it being additional space to write things but i opted not to based on last years 215 where the blank box was actually where we put our name like box 19 states. Seems like a clerical error and i dont want to portray to AFPC that i didnt have enough room to fit everything so i found extra space to include a bit more. Apples to apples i guess.

Completely feel this. Wasn't sure what narrative statements held the most weight on the 215 specifically. It was tough cutting fat on statements i felt were strong. Relied heavily on my personal letter and letter of rec to capture other things that weren't captured on the 215. I also left block 19 blank. Like you said, it seemed as if it shouldn't be there. Last years 215 i saw from previous applicants had a number 19. Remarks but no box to write in. But my 215 was due to the squadron yesterday so it's in gods hands now.

There is hope, I'm currently deployed and just finished my FC1 last week. All in about a months timeline from when i started reaching out to folks to the day i was seen by the Flight Doc. I don't write this to brag by any means, i write this to say networking is key. I started with my home station med group who defended my deployed units med group when they initially denied seeing me for my FC1 stating "we aren't entitled to conduct your FC1, your home station is." I began scrambling with the unknown suspense for apps due to the Sq (have since found out it sounds like late June for me) reaching out to my home med group to see if they could pull some strings while I'm out here. A technician back home happened to know a technician out here, a buddy of mine went through ROTC with a current f-22 flyer and had me reach out to the f-22 flight doc, and both of those things got the ball rolling allowing me to get my lab work and vision done prior to my Flight Doc visit. Now granted, i am waiver-less and health has always been pretty solid so the med group here didn't necessarily feel anything would be dragged out/tied back to them but my recommendation: start with your home station med group, ask leadership at work, reach out to friends in other units/career fields/bases to see who they know. Someone always knows someone and all you need is one person to pull a string and boom you're getting your FC1 completed just before the buzzer sounds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll be retaking the AFOQT and TBAS as well. I have 22/23 Apr and 6/7 May options and would love some study material! Thanks for that Wing timeline as well, a buddy of mine got picked up on the FY25 board and his board suspense was Oct and his suspense to the Sq was early June so I'm surprised with our board suspense being Aug, the Sq suspense isn't sooner??
