Had to email DP2OR because my MFS was rescheduled, and they responded with a screenshot of the system showing all my dates. I wasn’t sure if anyone else had heard when they start or not Edited February 10, 2022 by Grizzlyyyy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it’s worth my PDD is 1 Sept for 1 Nov class, so maybe everyone can calculate it that way unless it’s just a coincidence it’s exactly 60 days out like what was mentioned earlier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think vmpf is currently down so I'll check again later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bean, I was having issues with that last week, but I received wise advice to reach up to your Sq/Gp exec staff to request assistance. If the uniforms are something your unit agrees to provide, they can point you to the right person or resource. Through a few phone calls and favors, mine was able to point me to a flying squadron that had an extra supply which is another avenue you could try. Brings me to a uniform question: does anyone know what color each UPT base name patch is supposed to be? I was told from previous IFT classes that your assigned UPT base typically has an associated color for the name patch, which makes it easy to see who will be going to which UPT base at a glance during IFT; since I haven't gotten any indication of my UPT base, I'm tempted to make 3 different ones... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to IFT, you can tell your resource admin (the person with the GPC) you need to buy one. That’s how me and another guy got them. I am not going to IFT, but the other guys is. He hooked me up. 👍 Edited February 11, 2022 by Yodes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing my luck they're going in alphabetical order I'm toward the end of the line as well. I guess since I don't need MFS or IFT they could just give me an assignment and hopefully a class date soon. 2 minutes ago, Peaches said: Yea same, I'm at the end of the alphabet too.

If that's what's showing for the EFMP trick then that's what's loaded for your assignment. Mine was showing that for a week before I got the email with my official assignment notification of Columbus. I guess I'll be seeing you out there!

At this point, I feel like AFPC is just throwing darts haha. Also, I don't see "apply to change/cancel assignment" as even an option in vMPF anymore but I swear I did last week.

Or just the darts haha!On another note just got an email this morning that I have to go to MFS a day early because I had COVID possible once for extra testing. I swear if Covid has an impact on my career I’m going to be upset haha.Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAVI Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 UPT Select not requiring MFS or IFT... Last name towards the beginning of the alphabet and have no news of anything.

Just follow the same steps and it should say something like remove or cancel or edit the application. After you do that you can redo the trick.

Don't order any name tags, whatever base you go to will provide you with all applicable patches to include name tags. They'll reach out to you or when you get there you'll fill out a form with what name you want on it and any badges/wings you have. Only thing you could order if you want is some pen(pencil) tabs. I get mine from reaperpatches.com Flying squadrons are required to provide new members with all the normal patches. Usually the only stuff you pay for are pen tabs, Friday patches/name tags, or extra patches if you need them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, a simple name patch should work. Your base will order you one with the correct color combo when you arrive. As long as the one you get for IFT is in regs, you're good with whatever color you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
