Hello aspiring officers!
Its been a while! I honestly gave up on this blog as I did not see the traffic I was hoping for. I did, however, receive a few e-mails from my readers and it actually rekindled my intent for this blog...help people.
Whats new:
I pinned on master sergeant on 1 January 2017; yup, New Year New Stripe! I received notification of my class assignment. I will start TFIT 29 March and Graduate TFOT 2 June with those bars!
I also initiated an OTS Application Brief for my base. I was tired of seeing commissioning briefs that only tell you about OTS and the regulations of the application. I thought to myself, man these Airmen don't want to know about how OTS went; they want to know how to get there!
My first class was filled with 48 Airmen! It was unbelievable, I went through everything you have seen in my blog with actual detailed redacted examples. The education center got wind of this brief and invited me to conduct the class immediately following the commissioning brief. It has been going on for 8 months now and I am truly blessed to be able to help Airmen with this endeavor. I actually assisted 15 different Airmen with their 17OT01 applications and I am hoping for amazing results come April.
Class Notification:
I was sent a generic e-mail from AFPC. It stated I was selected for Class 1705B with a TFIT date of 29 March and a TFOT grad date of 2 June 2017. The e-mail also had two attachments: The official class selection letter and reporting instructions. It also said that the MPF would be notified to proceed in developing orders. I immediately called the MPF and told them about it and even forward them the letter. They responded saying they will have to wait until MilPDS is updated with the information...
Four weeks later I receive another e-mail from OTS accessions indicating:
Please forward to your MPF*
"Please use this message to process PCS-to-TDY Enroute orders on the subject member"
It also gives you more information on the reporting instructions; ETCA Air University link to review; GTC actions; and information for the assignment counselor.
Now I am standing by to stand by for those orders.
Take care everyone and GO AIR FORCE!
