November 26, 20187 yr Hey everyone, So I reached out to the 39th Flying Training Squadron about this same questions and I am waiting to hear back. Out of curiosity, can a UPT training squadron sponsor someone for UPT? Ideally, I would like to be an IP for the USAF, and go through UPT then PIT. I am currently an aviation educator (CFI/CFII/MEI and college classes for a university,) and even after 4+ years of doing it, I still love it. Additional info (if it helps;) MEd in Curriculum and Teaching will be done in March, GPA 4.0/4.0. BSc Aeronautics, ERAU, GPA 3.6 I recently turned 28. PSCM 99, although, I would like to take the AFOQT again to improve my verbal score. Not that it matters for selection, but I occasionally teach aerobatics and UPRT as well. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
November 26, 20187 yr Don’t take the AFOQT again unless you got like a 20 on the verbal. All it could do is hurt your PCSM and I don’t think anyone cares about your verbal score anyway.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
November 26, 20187 yr Currently in UPT and have heard rumors of unsponsored hires being able to be assigned to the reserve squadron after graduation if said persons couldn't find a unit at the end of training. I highly highly doubt a reserve training squadron will sponsor somebody and send them to UPT though. Best bet would be go unsponsored if unsponsored boards are still happening.
November 27, 20187 yr It's definitely possible for a Reservist to FAIP, one prior Nav did it a little while ago. He was unsponsored and wanted to stick around, apparently.

November 28, 20187 yr If you are talking DLF he couldn’t get the picked up anywhere else so he stayed there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 29, 20186 yr If a 340 FTG squadron decides to FAIP you, it won't be the 39th. You have to have been an UPT instructor for a tour already to instruct PIT.
