Fixed Wing Qual

[walmartwannabe]

Looking for info!!!! I spent six years in the guard as a helo pilot (commissioned) I was hired in March to fly B-52's in an Air Force Reserve Squadron. My packet is completed and now currently awaiting an ARB (Aeronautical Rating Board). After the ARB, the packet goes through the channels in Denver (Air Force Reserve Command) for the commissioning process. After all of this is complete ( possibly four months) I will then become a member of the squadron and be assigned a class date at Vance for the fixed wing qual course.

My question is, How long can it take to get a slot after I become assigned to the reserve squadron? If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Have you talked to Scott Forrest about it??

 

[walmartwannabe]

He didnt have an answer. I just thought I would put the question out there to see if anyone has recently been through the process.

Time will come my man, time will come. I'm right behind you. Scott told me he got your ARB done. He had to kick some people in the butt to get things finished.

Hey you Surf Dog:

Squad is just not the same with out your wildness. We just took Jacobs to Ellington for his first time. Biff and I think he enjoyed the 24 hour programming selections and the free food. Hey, I just got back from Memphis and I saw your new employers HQ. I will be putting them at the top of my list in 4 years so I will be calling in two for some help if you got the time. I hope the waves are big and the soft. Drop me a line when you get a chance.
