IFC Funds
Posted by MANDO_ on April 30, 2025 at 1:50 pmSooooo I was scheduled for my IFC last week but had to cancel because of a lack of TDY funds.. Of course my piloting future comes down to a lack of funding from big blue. I was wondering if anyone knows alternatives to procuring funding to attending IFC or if anyone knows if I can attend IFC on my own dime while not on a status (MPA, AT, ADOS, etc) as a current member of the AF Reserve..

Standby for belt feed pay period transmittion….
Will your SQ give you a Rescheduled Drill (RD) and authorize and alternate duty location? You might also be able to use a Readiness Management Period (RMP). Last option is to try to use and Equivalent Training allocation (ET) I think you get three a year.
Best option might be to get some AT or ST days and then see if they would let you take permissive TDY (PDTY), check the leave and pass reg.
If the travel isn’t reimbursed and greater that 150 miles (I think) you can at least deduct the cost from your taxes.
Standing by your questions
over.

Thanks for all these tips! I’m actually on MPA at the moment and leadership says PTDY doesn’t align with the contingency. And I’m not given any drill days because I’m “constructively present” under my full time MPA and don’t have breaks.
I have AT but my WG/CC denied travel funds with it because my sponsoring unit should be funding the trip and the wouldn’t be producing any ROI for our WG. Which I understand, but still sucks that’s what it comes down to.
I spoke with my sponsoring unit today and they are trying to get some ADOS orders for me to attend Wright Patt. I would curtail MPA, go on ADOS, then back on MPA to get it knocked out.
if not, I’m going to try the other 2 options you gave me! Thanks again for all the input and recommendations, hopefully I can get this knocked out during my next scheduled appointment and not have to postpone it again.
thanks

Initial first class. I guess that’s what my initial pilot physical is called at wright Patterson when I don’t have another flight physical on file.

Yikes. I feel like PTDY rule 7 (DAFI 36-3003) applies.
Lastly you might investigate if there is any prohibition on attending in leave status. Or if your commander can grant a special pass
Godspeed!
