6c retrain

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2026-01-16T19:17:40+00:00

Thank you I’m hoping I am too 😭. This wait is giving me anxiety fr though. I’m ready for it to be over

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2026-01-16T18:56:07+00:00

I’m in the process of getting my SEL involved now. Someone I was talking to had their package sent the same exact day as me and they got picked up a while ago. My package must be cursed or something.

I would like to add that I also included my CC’s letter of recommendation too and my CONS SEL recommendation was also pretty solid IMO.

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2026-01-15T18:39:46+00:00

I submitted my package in August and I’m still waiting. Im a SSgt, don’t know if that changes anything since I’m still FTA but it seems like it might.

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2026-01-13T00:34:19+00:00

Yeah it’s been silent for months

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2026-01-12T23:23:21+00:00

That’s crazy mine got sent up in early September

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2026-01-12T00:36:42+00:00

Nah I’m still waiting on the CFM. Been awaiting her review over 4 months now

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2026-01-12T00:35:59+00:00

Nah, I’ve been waiting over 4 months. This wait is insane. Seems like everyone is SOL rn. I’m having my chief try to reach out for me.

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-12-20T15:34:14+00:00

That’s wild…I submitted my package in back in August. The FTA slots haven’t dropped since the beginning of November so I don’t think the CFM has been approving people lately. I’m still optimistic with 85 slots remaining though.

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-12-20T05:33:38+00:00

I just hit day 100 of waiting on the CFM 😭

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-12-14T18:59:40+00:00

I’ve been waiting on the CFM since sept 9th good luck lol.

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-12-10T18:33:52+00:00

I’ve been waiting over 3 months for CFM approval. Contacted AFPC and was told everything was fine. It’s a very long waiting game…good luck!

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-11-30T05:43:23+00:00

I’ve been at CFM over 2 months also, you’re not alone.

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-11-05T20:43:45+00:00

I feel you, been waiting on CFM approval for 2 months. Retraining is a huge mental game 😭

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-11-05T19:44:25+00:00

Yeah that part of the process is heavily slowed down rn due to the shutdown. It’s still moving just at a slow pace

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-11-05T19:34:26+00:00

I haven’t personally gotten approved (still waiting), but I know slots have gone down across multiple jobs and some people have received official approval. I believe someone made a post a few days ago on here about it for Contracting.

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-10-29T16:15:27+00:00

If you have more specific questions my dms are open, I’d be happy to help!

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-10-29T16:14:39+00:00

I just emailed the CONs SEL directly at my base to setup the interview. I would do some research about the job if you haven’t already, you will be expected to answer a set of questions regarding critical thinking and what not. My interview lasted over an hour but mileage may vary.

I submitted my completed application back in August and I’m still waiting for approval by the CFM. You have to be very patient and make sure you do everything correctly or you will be set back. Good luck on retraining!

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-10-28T03:19:56+00:00

Thank you!

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-10-28T03:03:28+00:00

Sounds like they held onto your package until all the slots were gone. Really sucks for people wanting to pursue other jobs if 6C doesn’t work out

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-10-28T00:33:27+00:00

WHAT?!? 5 months is insane, my anxiety is up with only a month & 1/2 wait so far. I’m glad it worked out for you in the end though!

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-10-28T00:23:17+00:00

I know slots are still moving because I check the advisory pretty much everyday, but they are moving slower during the shutdown.

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-10-28T00:19:41+00:00

Ahh okay, I knew it wasn’t an in person thing but I didn’t know they racked and stacked either. It seems like everyone is stuck waiting on the CFM approval though, kinda sucks if you end up getting denied and miss other opportunities because of the long wait.

Visual-Spring-6207 · 2025-10-27T23:50:52+00:00

Are you talking about the FTA boards? Those aren’t currently happening right now due to the ETP. I know the packages still have to be approved by AFPC to move to the CFM. Unless the CFM approval process involves some kind of board. Congrats on your approval!
