You will attend the entire program regardless of previous experience. But I will add that this is changing quickly and this could easily change.
C.J.Yes you can live with dogs. I can only speak for Vance, but you could either get an apartment off base or apply to live in base housing. On base housing they will charge you BAH w/dependent rate.

Typically your sponsoring unit should pay for that. You wouldn’t go until after you got picked up for UPT spot.
slippinjimFinished up with UPT not too long ago. Current UPT environment seems like it is literally changing every day. At the moment, if you were to go to UPT being hired by a Guard/Res heavy unit you would likely do T-1 only track. There is a program at Vance and Columbus called XPW (Accelerated Path to Wings) and it’s a (I believe) 9 month, T-1…

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…
