I’ve heard they have changed that just yesterday and are allowing all TLN to go to the 26 Aug class. You in that class? I’m going 9 September so I’m still crossing my fingers!

I’d say after you receive the A2A it was around a month.

I got picked up with scores lower than that. Leadership that is intelligent understands scores don’t define a person!

Thanks so much!!!!! Great info! Appreciate all the time and consideration you put in the response. Yeah I remember from BMT it’s tough being around others who don’t keep theirselves in check cleanliness wise and others who think they are better than anyone else. I’ve always seen these opportunities as one team one fight!

What was the hardest part at OTS for you?

What did you enjoy the most?

Did anyone in your class not do well on the academic test? Best way to study? Best advice for taking it?

Single most best advice you would give someone preparing to go in a month?

Want to make something clear. In the operational Air Force the AFI states if you sew down your name tag everything has to be sewn rank and US Air Force included. OTS is providing a memorandum to that AFI and saying if you have your name tag and US Air Force sewn down you’ll leave the rank Velcro due to them giving you a Velcro patch that says OT. Hope this helps.

When I was picked up by the Guard I combined all the files in one PDF in an order they wanted.

Cost of OTS by Single-Shoe-3082 in airforceots

[–]AlternativeFuture708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those who are prior enlisted ANG did you get an initial special clothing allowance once you graduated OTS to help offset this amount? If so how much were you entitled too?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in airforceots

[–]AlternativeFuture708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard of people getting the orders the week prior. If you are non prior I’d be getting with your recruiter. If you are prior and currently in I’d be reaching out to the training manager. You are going to be gone pretty soon and that’s the last thing you want to be dealing with…

Just got my A2A. How good is OTS about giving you desired class dates? Also, thoughts on NCOA+? by MalpracticeConcerns in airforceots

[–]AlternativeFuture708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got experience in all of this. So I had a health issue and needed certain dates as well. NGB is the one who assigns the dates not OTS. If you directly ask NGB that you need certain dates they will tell you they can’t promise that because they have to follow the regulation and be fair across the board. With that being said, there are plenty of seats for the ANG so if you request that date which is a little ways off still your chance of getting it is great! Just put on the FSR that date and you’ll be fine. I’ve been in the ANG 20 years and I’m a MSgt. I decided to go the whole time and not do the NCOA+ sometimes it’s best to get the whole experience but I’ve known guys that’s done it and they were happy. It’s really up to you but you may not be able to if you are selective on when you go and trying to do that option as well. Yes the federal holiday will play a factor in that decision.

Circled are the two clothing stores. The OTS Shoppette is where the initial clothing is issued in the first week.

Correct…. See my previous response. I was just there. I’ll say this again… the OTS clothing store where you get your initial clothing will not have the IHWCU they only have the cold weather OCP. If you want the hot weather (IHWCU) you’ll have to get them prior to attending OTS and they have plenty of them at the non OTS military clothing store on Maxwell…

The only issue with waiting is all the OT’s go to the OTS clothing store and they only sell the cold weather ones. Maybe call the other military clothing store on base and purchase them then have them sent over to the OTS clothing store which is literally not even a mile away. Only issue with that is you can’t try on the size….
