One question tman regarding the security clearance should I fill it out if I currently only hold a secret opposed to a ts?
Ya i was told not to worry about it, I hold a TS too. I was going to bring a copy of the AF86 not sure about the JPAS thing or the SURF... (I think I know what SURF your talking about, but It might be another SURF.... ahhh acronyms...) Basically was told to pack your bags like your going to BMT again.
I ended up emailing prep admissions and got a few things cleared up.
1. Priors do not need to fill out direct deposit form
2. Priors do not need to fill out shot records however they need to ensure their medical records transfer to USAFA
3. Priors are not "Required" to bring their uniform items as they will be forced to buy new uniforms regardless "fee is included on finance sheet".
4. Priors are not required to fill out SF86 however it is recommended that you have a copy of the sf 86 available "electronic probably would be best"
But on the finance sheet I don't think it covers everyting, unless its the $400 something. But then again, what about our AFSC badges? They are required. I'll be danmed if I have to lose my intel badge, and hopefully my space wings, when I get there.
So there's no need for me to buy new uniform items since we're getting them reissued? I was about a day away from investing in new blues shirts since the stripes ruin the old ones, and since their taking measurements with the paperwork they gave us, at least I will get good sizes instead of a parka sized top like at BMT ... And printing out the sf 86 would be a huge burden, so digital would be incredible.
Under the "what to bring" section in the welcome package (which is what I'm bringing lol) it says under ABUs that functional badges are required. Your right, the AFI (36-2903) states it is optional, but I believe the wing (I guess in this case the AFA) can be more restrictive, just not more loose on the rule. Also separates the priors from the direct people.
I have my badge on all my ABUs, one badge for my blues, and one badge for my service jacket. My job only gives me one badge sadly, would kill for some wings :\Ya I'm trying to get my space wings before I leave, and need to sow on my badge on my other ABUs. Haha I'd be surprised if anyone has all there done already.
