Hey Nell! When I wrote my letters I had several that were addressed differently depending on the board I was applying for. Guard and reserve were addressed to NGB/AFRC but also specifically to the unit I was rushing and/or applying towards. My Group CC addressed it to “Air Force Officer Selection Board”. For AD, I’d probably address “UFT Board #xxxx Board” or something similar to that. I didn’t apply AD so I can’t really talk to it, but as a successful Reserve UPT Select that’s what I did when I started applying and rushing squadrons. Here’s a few options, I hope it helps! Good luck!

Yeah I feel like naturally I’ll be curious about everyone else. I’ll be sure to focus on my stuff, I already have a flight physical and 2992, just not a pilot one. I’m confident my vision and everything else is good.

I guess I’m more curious/worried about the retina topography check, but I guess I don’t really have any control over that stuff at all. Fingers crossed everything is good and can get their blessings and begin this pilot journey.

thanks for your input man. I appreciate it.

Awesome, yeah all my pilot co-workers in the RPA career field are like, “yeah don’t bring anything up that’s not diagnosed or written in your record”.

seems like a don’t give them ammunition type deal. So I’m excited to finally head out there. Step 1 to getting to OTS then UPT finally since my selection last October. It’s wild how long this process takes, thankfully the age guidance on UPT has changed now since I’m coming up on that 33 lol.

Thanks man, you stay active in these chats with a lot of relevant information. I hope people realize the info you’re passing is important and knowledgeable.

I’ll keep you posted after next week!

Might be able to request a special 4 day pass! That should give me plenty of time to knock that out. Thanks for the help!

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.
