XPW at UPT
Hey everyone! Just wanted to see if anyone has done XPW to bypass the T-6 and jump straight to the T-1 and if so, what exactly is the process to request this? For reference, I am a Reserve ROTC select heading off to UPT next year so I was curious if reservists qualify for the acceleration.

There really is no way to ‘request’ XPW prior to showing up to UPT. However, the way it has been going lately is that every XPW class will have 3-4 Guard/Res and 2-3 Active spots. Most of the Guard/Res are being non-vol’d since those studs already knew they were headed that way. Since you are Reserve once you get down to inpro with the 340th they can probably assist with helping you get placed.
I will also add that T-6’s are all going direct to FTU now so the timeline is about the same. I personally had such a blast flying the T-6 and would strongly encourage you to go in with an open mind since this is likely the only time in your flying career where you will get to do fighter-like flying.
