Congratulations on getting the call that you were selected as the primary! What now?

If you’re a civilian you have a little more effort ahead of you than your prior service counterparts parts. Your application will be sent to the respective state headquarters for final approval. From there you have a lot of paperwork just like if you enlisted in a unit. You’ll have complete MEPS and swear in. Once that is completed you’ll wait on getting dates to get your USAF flying class 1 (FC1) medical completed at wright Patterson. Depending on how long this takes, anywhere from 6months to 1+ year, you’ll attend your units drill weekends/UTAs. You’ll typically get dates to TFOT/OTS relatively quickly but don’t be surprised if UPT dates take longer. After becoming a LT you’ll be put in for dates and the best advice I could give is have yourself and your family prepared to uproot with a 3 day notice to arrive to UPT and start. Doesn’t happen all the time but there is sometimes fallout and you could fill someone’s class spot quickly. Try to get the contact info of the units most recent UPT hire and pick their brain and get all the gouge you can!

*side note I’ll be on the app throughout the day so hit me up with any and all questions you might have, cheers!

STK!
