A buddy at Pensacola told me this morning that around 50 CSO Lts on casual status were pulled to go to Laughlin for UPT.

I heard today that RPA students on casual status got the same treatment as CSOs with offers to go manned.

Wow. I don't have a dog in this fight, but damn. Pulling CSO and RPA LTs off of casual status en masse to go to UPT? That's pretty unprecedented if true (not doubting these posters, just questioning the second hand nature of the info).

Received a response after leadership reached out on my behalf. A delay of a "couple more weeks" is likely as those short-term training gaps are being filled by others.

If that’s the case, it would be really awesome if they sent an update email to everyone. I was told a couple of weeks ago that they should start loading assignments again soon. They had started, but got bogged down with AETC taskers and were expected to be getting back on track last week.

I’ve heard of this happening a few years ago.
