June 17, 20169 yr 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.

To my knowledge, they do not line up with the 16OT04 dates.
June 17, 20169 yr I actually applied for the AFRC UPT board. But thanks. Gives me an idea of when results come out. Ha. I appreciate it
June 21, 20169 yr 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
July 1, 20169 yr 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?

Or if they are taking unsponsored apps. Well... Results from this board should be out within the month so... You'll find out soon. Good luck!

I'll let you know what I find out so you have an extra data point!
July 7, 20169 yr 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 ?

July 13, 20169 yr Has anyone heard about the new 6 year active reserve commitment? I haven't seen it mentioned on any sites yet. Edited July 13, 20169 yr by last_chance
July 13, 20169 yr 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.
July 13, 20169 yr 21 minutes ago, willflyforfood said: What memo I was sent a memo from my sponsoring Unit letting me know about the changes. 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.
July 13, 20169 yr 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.
July 13, 20169 yr Any day now I was told. This is the first I am hearing of the 6 year commitment though...
July 13, 20169 yr I will try to post what I can remember. The memo makes it seem like the ultimate goal is to get you to a point were you can upgrade quicker and then become a Unit instructor. Just like Panco17 mentioned. You would attend OTS, UPT, follow-on training, and seasoning orders in a military status. Payed just like the active duty members. Seasoning orders are 140 day according to the memo. After this, you would be hired into a ART overhire position. You will be a federal civil service employee paid on the gs pay scale. You will be considered a traditional reservist (1 weekend a month, 2 weeks in the summer) who has a job with the federal government. Like I said in another post, the total full time commitment to the reserves is 6 years. This commitment starts when you enter your first formal training program (OTS, IFS, or UFT.) After completing all the required formal training and your seasoning orders, you will then do 4 years of the ART overhire position. At the end of the program you can apply to fill an empty ART position, not in overhire status, or just become a TR and find civilian employment. In a way this could get those that want to fly for the airlines a chance to build enough military hours to potentially skip the regionals. That's all I could remember for know but it should cover everything.

I seem to remember my recruiter and most of the the members at my sponsoring unit telling me that results typically take about 3 weeks. "They will probably come out end of June/beginning of July with class dates potentially coming around the 15 of July." I am sure they had no idea it would take this long. Maybe the will give out class dates and results at the same time. I guess one can dream.
