    Recent UPT grad here. The program is called XPW (Accelerated Path to Wings), and it was primarily designed for pilots with prior experience. Unfortunately there may be a couple factors stacked against you getting into the program, most prominent that the T-1 is getting phased out. No idea when that will happen officially but XPW are the only students flying it at Vance afaik. There’s a class every couple months and they only take 6-9 or so people, and a decent portion of them are guard/reserve. Definitely push for it if you can (make them tell you no) but expect that being active duty with limited GA experience will hinder your chances of getting in (so some multi engine exposure would absolutely help you out here). That said, the T-6 is a capable platform and an absolute blast to fly, so I highly recommend enjoying some loops to music even if you’re dead set on heavies.
