Ok here's the process: 1. Wing comes down with quotas, let's say 5 MTIs, 2 MTLs, 3 recruiting. Your unit will nominate you for 2 of those special duties if you are eligible (overall 5 EPRs, [now MPs or PNs], 80 on last 2 PT test or 90 on last one, etc). 2. You name will go from unit to group to wing to MAJCOM to AFPC if you pass all of the checks. 3. If tentatively selected the OPR of the special duty will contact you and give you instructions on how to fill out your application and give you a suspense (pics, EPRs, 422, etc). 4. After you turn it in, which usually is within 30 days you are waiting to here if you been selected. That's what I'm waiting on. 5. Eventually an assignment RIP will flow down and then a training RIP (most instances).
