USMC RW to AFRES/ANG Fixed Wing
Hello all,
I am currently active duty helicopter pilot in the Marine Corps, but considering a transition to a KC-135 Reserve Unit near my hometown.
I have researched the pubs (AFI11-402), but wondering if anyone can speak to current experience. In order to make the transition from a helo pilot to a fixed wing pilot in the Air Force is it possible to pick up in phase three of the UPT (since I completed primary in a T-34), or will I be required to complete the whole UPT? OR can I skip the UPT all together and proceed on to the formal school for the KC-135 platform (I'm guessing not)?
This has been covered, I'm sure, but I didn't see anything within the past year or 2.
Thanks!
