Dates and Bases

Well, I found out that, as of right now, my first duty station will be at Dyess AFB where I'll be sitting on casual status until I get sent to the rest of my training. I'll be going there around the end of March, next year and won't go to UPT until the end of October. I will be going to IFS (initial flight screening=pre-UPT) exactly a month after I get to Dyess. IFS is in Pueblo, Colorado and lasts about 6 weeks. As of right now, I'm not scheduled to go to ASBC (AeroSpace Basic Course), but don't worry, Big Blue will get me there, no doubt. Hopefully it will be before I go to IFS, that way I can go on active duty that much quicker.

So, in a nutshell, here is what the next year or so will look like.
-Dec 15: Commission
-Mar 24: EAD (enter active duty) and PCS to Dyess AFB
-Apr 24: IFS in Pueblo Colorado
-Oct 21: PCS to Laughlin AFB for UPT
-Nov 4: UPT start date
-Nov 3 2009: Officially become a USAF pilot

I won't go into any detail now as to what all this stuff is. When I go to the different training schools, I'll go more in depth as to what it is and what it entails.

Well welcome Geoff to the blogging world! It's a great place to journal and a great way to make cyber-friends. I used to have a blog here at blogger but left for another because most of my friends from Modblog days were there. My site is under construction since we all had to start over new due to some server issues...I hope you'll come visit!
