Yeah, I definitely included that in the package. This was a formal CMS case requesting I sign the AF Form 63. I fully understand and agree to the 10 year ADSC, just didn’t expect to actually sign it until near the end of training. It sounds like everyone should be getting it to sign prior to PCSing to UPT, and if you don’t finish training for whatever reason, then it will revert to a 2 year ADSC.

If that’s the case, it would be really awesome if they sent an update email to everyone. I was told a couple of weeks ago that they should start loading assignments again soon. They had started, but got bogged down with AETC taskers and were expected to be getting back on track last week.

I was told April/May was a safe bet for earliest PCSs and that the initial training schedule for 2026, which I’m assuming is the IPT schedule , is not expected to come out until February. Based on the reply that justwanttofly received, maybe they got the schedule nailed down quicker than expected. Perhaps they’re trying to get assignments rolling prior to a potential gov shutdown on the 31st.

I reached out to the board because I’m in a unit that deploys frequently and exercises even more frequently. Some of our Squadron’s leadership team is deploying in a few months and I’d be next in line to cover for them while they’re gone, but if I’m leaving at the same time as them then they need to start prepping someone else for that role. Sometimes it isn’t about impatience, but at this point my unit is being asked by MAJCOM for info and answers about what personnel we have available for XYZ. I’m not saying they need to tell us our specific assignments, but they did originally say we could get assignments as early as Jan 2026, then didn’t send out RIPs for MFSs until Jan 2026, which means none of us are likely to move in Jan. They said RIPs would come out 30-60 days after selection notification. That hasn’t happened either. They said to reach out if you hadn’t received an assignment by 1 Mar, but didn’t specify when they expected people to actually begin PCSing. Will people get an assignment notification on 28 Feb and be expected to PCS mid-March to start training in April? These are valid questions and I’m happy for the people who have the flexibility to not worry too much about timelines, but that info is extremely valuable for some people and not only for them personally, but also for their existing unit that is critically manned and being tasked left and right.

I feel your pain. This wait is almost worse than waiting for results. I just got back from a deployment and my unit filled my position while I was gone, because I was supposed to move to the Wing when I got back. Since I’m PCSing in the not so distant future I’m not going to the Wing anymore, but my Sqd also doesn’t know what to do with me since they have no clue how long I’ll be around. I feel like I went from 120 MPH on my deployment to a screeching halt at home and it’s been rough. I’m just trying to stay positive, find things to help out with at work, and bide my time until I get more guidance on timelines.

That’s what we planned to do too, but the BAH difference between our current assignment and the UPT bases is $1,300-$1,700/month. From my understanding, they just changed things to where you only find out your MWS at drop night now and don’t find out your location until you finish up at the FTU. If that’s the case, they can’t PCS you and then send you to the FTU because you don’t know your final duty station yet. I hope they’re able to accommodate you for IPT locations that make sense!
