I can relate! I’m a command sponsored student who just PCS’d to Laughlin this week and I start in 2 weeks. Most of the students on casual status have been there for months and are waiting for UPT/IFT/SERE dates.

Currently in touch with a couple other units…

I currently just have…

I recently became a member of the BogiDope community and was wondering how I can join the Air Force group? I would like to attend the webinar tonight at 2000 EST to learn more about a good UPT application.
