Arkbird Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Capt XXXXX— The folks at USAFSAM indicated that you were good to go and would not need to attend MFS. If you attended MFS prior to URT at either USAFA or WPAFB, you do not need to attend again. Our schedulers are working on IFT and UPT dates this week and next week so you should see those training RIPs come down soon. v/r, AFPC/DP2OR Workflow Looks like I won't need to go to MFS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a PPL but still want to attend so this was a pleasant surprise but I’m not sure this was meant for me? I am working with 19AF now to see where the disconnect is. For some reason they exempted some of the folks with a PPL from attending IFT, but left 26 folks with a PPL in IFT. I’ll get back with you when I hear back from them, but you should end up being exempt (unless it has been over 5 years since you last flew). Just got that answer from the org box.

BANDIT_K Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 @Arkbird Lucky you! I just called to see if the same would apply to me but they told me they have made new baseline requirements for MFS in 2018 and since I attended in 2016 I have to go. The upside is this TDY potentially gets me out of switching to and flying on mids cycle. Depending on when my orders to UPT are and pending no random medical disasters at MFS...I could potentially never fly another Reaper mid shift again : ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard the same thing. I'm holding off on signing my training RIP til we hear back. Also found out I'll be heading to Columbus for the September UPT class 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFT2022applicant Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Got notified over the last couple days by both FSS and my leadership. IFT scheduled for 5 Apr. Sheppard report date of 1 Aug. Wheels are turning pretty quick. May all of us have an uneventful MFS! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzlyyyy Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Anyone know why IFT is scheduled for a month and a half? Got my RIP for 1 Mar when AFPC was saying late spring/summer. Either I’ll PCS earlier than they said (Fall) or it’ll be an awkwardly long amount of time between IFT and UPT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyGuy Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I wonder how they are deciding on the order of putting people in slots. I have a May DEROS and assignment still in the system, which I though would have been turned off soon after announcement. One reason because then my functional can find a replacement sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBlue Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Was trying to wrap my mind around this corneal topography/mapping assessment & what’s a disqualifying outcome… just gave up 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkbird Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Just to note. You don't have to have family who is EFMP to do the trick. You don't even need to have dependents. If you have an assignment loaded, the EFMP trick seems to work. If you don't have an assignment yet, then following the steps won't produce any results.

ZE14 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 For those still playing the waiting game for UPT assignments, AFPC told me they are finishing filling classes this week to early next week. Additionally they said most start dates they've seen so far are in the Oct-Dec 22 timeline and can expect to PCS 45-60 days prior to CSD so get to enjoy a little casual time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know MFS is probably going to end up being low threat but right now it seems like another gate to get through where something could go wrong, CRS-wise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackseatBallast Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I was on an email this morning with about 25 of us stating that they were unable to confirm our PPL for IFT exemption and requesting more info. My assumption is this may be why some of us are still awaiting assignments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
