You don't have to wait. Request a transfer. It may or may not be approved, but with the pilot shortage the AF has now, my guess is they'll be incentivized to go to bat for you.

Rgr, I will be looking into this more, I just didn't know if anyone had any experience with this or if they had seen this happen before. Thank you!

CPT (Join to see) Just basing this on my buddy's experience. He was enlisted Marines/AF Reserve. He obtained his PPL & successfully got into UPT. He was allowed to skip the first portion because that is when they were teaching those who had never flown before, how to fly a plane. I would think, with the pilot shortage & desperate situation right now, that you have a pretty dang good shot.

Was he close to the maximum age limit? That's what's concerning for me. I am not sure if they will take me since I will be close to the maximum age for flight training.

CPT (Join to see) - If there's one thing I've learned, if they want you, there's a waiver for EVERYTHING! He's in his late late 20s.
