Yeah it was my first choice. I think it also helped that the board knows my wife will be starting med school close to Columbus in sept so they prioritized getting me Columbus.

Buddy just got Laughlin 15 May IPT 20 Oct UPT. Good chance they're going down the list and loading assignments alphabetically.

Damn me for going from an E to a P last name when I got married! 😂

Glad to see class dates are starting to trickle out though. I really thought with the shutdown it’d all be on hold.

Last year’s forum theorized that assignments were loaded based on merit, like those will more competitive packages were given earlier class dates. No idea if that was true. I’ll report my last initial when my dates are loaded lol

Possibly, but then wouldn't we have heard about assignments for the ENJJPT folks first? Maybe they've already moved onto bigger things and don't associate with us lowly UPT selects lol

Anyone else just sitting here refreshing CDB on vMPF every 5 min lol? I'd imagine it probably flows --> anyone with humanitarian consideration --> anyone coming up close to Age restriction --> then alphabetically and/or merit based

Literally... My boss asked why I keep refreshing EFMP lol

I just want to know my base!

To that point my buddy did have an age ETP. Probably wanted to get that dinosaur his wings before he turns into jet fuel.

I do know there are some people that didn’t volunteer for enjjpt that were pretty competitive. So I don’t think that has much weight. Also the Enjjpt pipeline is backed up as well. I know a few people there that waited over a year to start.

Yesterday I had received an email directly from the rated accessions training manager and told me that I would have an RNLTD of March and class start date of April at Laughlin. Nothing officially in my CDB but I was told I should get an assignment notification in by the end of the week. My last name also starts with an A, so alphabetical assignment uploads could be possible.

Not by last name unless they started that recently. I knew a guy who started two months before me with a name at the end of the alphabet. Order or merit might be a thing or it might not but alphabetical probably isn't it.

One of the dudes at Creech just got his dates yesterday. That’s cool the rated manager emailed you directly since you would move next month. Praying I move in March as well!

Cheers yall, I was a UPT select on the 24 board. I’m down at Columbus. IPT complete (Peachtree City, Ga), T-6 dollar ride is next week. Hit me up with any questions. Super pumped for you that were selected!
