c_dub_g Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Did anybody get notice from AFRC that their package was actually received? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_dub_g Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Morning everybody. So, I applied for the June AFRC OTS/UFT Board also. Question is; did any of you receive any notification that your package was actually received by the board? Or did you recruiter/sponsoring unit just submit and cross their fingers till results come out? Thanks. - Chris G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there was a mass confirmation email that went out this week, you could probably check in to find out. Not sure if it went to my sponsoring squadron as well, or just the recruiter.

c_dub_g Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I am currently a reservist so I didn't even deal with a recruiter. I built my package myself and my sponsoring unit reviewed it and then submitted it thru my chain of command. I'll check to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mett-tc Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 If you all are referring to 16OT04, the package due date is next week. 24ish June. Which means we won't get notified until (more than likely) after Labor day. This info is from AD LO recruiters directly. This follows suit with the last rated board in January. Packages due at the end of the month and notifications coming out late March/early May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge, they do not line up with the 16OT04 dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_dub_g Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I actually applied for the AFRC UPT board. But thanks. Gives me an idea of when results come out. Ha. I appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_dub_g Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Does anybody have any contact information for AFRC/A3TB? That's where we submitted our packages. I haven't got a notification that my package was received and I went thru my MPF not a recruiter. Any info helps. Thanks - Chris G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb17 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Seems like nobody is talking about the June AFRC board unlike years past. Is there a shortage of applicants again this year? Anybody hear anything back yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my recruiter results will come out as early as today for the June board, or could take up to a month. I'll let you know what I find out so you have an extra data point!

thankyouthanks Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I am a sponsored candidate for the June AFRC board. My recruiter told me that it has been received and am now just playing the waiting game. He told me mid July and the squadron just said soon, so who knows. I know that they did take unsponsored applications for this board. Anyone heard anything ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

last_chance Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 From the memo that was sent to me, it looks like it is no longer a rumor and is now being implemented. Any UFT graduate after 1 Dec 16 will have the 6 year commitment that starts when you go to OTS. It doesn't seem like it is to bad a deal, but could cause problems with people who take a LOA from their civilian job. They only have to hold you position for 5 year. So this could cause problems unless they build in a break period after your seasoning period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The memo is from Lt Gen Jackson to NAF and Wing commanders dated 16 June. Maybe your unit has not been told, but I imagine your sponsoring wing commander has the memo.

pancho17 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Well... That really blows. I saw the memo from my recruiter and what last_chance says is true, it's for any UFT graduates after 01 Dec 2016. Pretty rough for those of us who have worked out commitments and return plans with our civilian jobs. Requires you to hold an ART position after training until your six years are up, and seems to be a kneejerk response to backfill instructors (possibly being lost to the airlines?) Either way, sounds like to me a way to dissuade people to join at all, especially if they see themselves less than 6 years from a job at the majors. I'm not an airline guy, but I definitely had an understanding of what this all would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
