I e-mailed and asked about my assignment. I was assigned my first choice UAV to Creech with a springtime class. They said the medical hold would not change the assignment. I did not ask about the panel but I have not heard of anyone having their assignment changed by the board or the panel.

I just called the VA at 1-800-827-1000 They processed my return to AD over the phone. I had to fax in a copy of my orders to the regional VA office.

The payment we receive is for the month that just ended. Since my effective date of duty is 21 Sep, I'll still get a partial month's payment for the first 20 days of Sep paid at the beginning of Oct.

Simple so far, but I have my doubts that it won't get dorked up down the road.

When you return to AD from being retired here a a few things. When you retired the AF does a good job of transfering over your pay to retired side of DFAS however there is no way to bring it back to the AD side or so I have been told. Base finance needed to recreate my pay record, just like when you first entered the AF. Once established then you can add back on your allotments etc. To stop your retired pay your orders need to go to DFAS. DFAS was on my distro list on the bottom of my orders but they claim they never got them. They would not accept a copy from me so I contacted AFPC to fax them my orders (DFAS stated they needed it from AFPC). Also MPF did not know I was coming (yes they were on the distro list also). Bottom line it took 2 weeks for MPF to load me into the milpds system. Just a heads up. Good luck to all

Hooray! I just got an email from assignments. They are putting me in for a Predator UAV at Creech with training to start in the Feb-May 2010 timeframe.

Excellent news. I hope to see you there.

Anyone know where the Predator training is done? Is it at Creech?

8 July - AFPC notified me by email that I was Medically Certified "Good to go"
25 July - Email from AFPC telling my package was "in assignments"
3 Sept - Email from AO saying he was putting me in "to match to an MQ-1 Predator to Creech"

UAL T38 Phlyer

Just faxed mine today. Will update the timeline as it progresses. Expecting a T-38, but told them I'd take an F-15E, QF-4, or a C-21.

Anyone get a C-21?

I asked for one since I'm currently flying little jets (Citations) and was told there were no training slots available. Doesn't hurt to ask though you never know when something will open up. Good luck.
