Just got notified by my commander, alternate select for fixed wing!

Current CSO, first time applying. Scores: 99 Pilot, 95 PCSM.

Was also told to expect a PCS within the next 2 months, no base currently.

Congratulations I’m so happy for you. I contacted the board earlier in the week actually I believe it was last week to try and advocate for a buddy of mine who was picked up and got helicopters and I wanted to see if there was any possibility to see if we can get him switched over to a fixed wing slot, considering the shortage, but I got told was that the program manager is currently trying to advocate for more people from the UFT list to be considered to help try and fill some of the slots. My body was notified three days ago that he was swapped from helicopters over to fixed wing and the fact that you just got notified sounds like they’re starting to look more at the UFT list

Anyone get a projected training course “B3OZYMFS”? Is that for medical flight screening?

Yeah that's for MFS. Me and my two buddies will be heading there at the end of the month.

I’ll see y’all there!

My buddy who applied to this board but got CSO just got an email that he was offered a fixed-wing pilot slot with a PCS in 2 months and no base. Interesting what's going on with all these people getting slots after the fact

Had this happen to a friend of mine as well, they were notified Friday. Interestingly they put rotary wing pilot at 1 and CSO 2, got picked up for CSO but not UHT and turned down the slot. Commander got a call Friday that short-notice they could add her to the roster at Ft Novosel. Maybe whatever is going on at Laughlin isn't limited to just that base/fixed wing rated accessions.

Because they offered a fixed wing slot to my buddy that got rotary, they are back filling the slot with people who put rotary #1
