Thank you!

Hey great video, how hard is it to get a etp? And how long does the process usually take?

[@DavidCapperino]

Hello! And thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately that is a super loaded question and it depends. Depends what it’s for, depends on your leadership to move that around the squadron and get it signed. Depends on severity, etc.

Hello! I had a question about overseas folks. I’m a 4 year and extended to get my assignment to aviano. I’m currently 15 months out my deros and can apply to retrain but my DEROS is OCT24. I was told to try to get an ETP to apply out of my window and justify why “ I extended to get the orders” would this be a good justification and chance to get my ETP approved? My squadron is manned over 90 percent. I’m trying to retrain into public health. I’m an E4

That is tough, I honestly couldn't tell you because those are very specific extenuating circumstances that I am not too sure about. You would have to talk to your career assistance advisor or call the headquarters of AFPC.

With the new policy in place 1 June 23, will the window be changing? will I (SrA) as a 6 year 2.5 years in be able to re-train, to a re-train only afsc? Is it possible to re-train before my window?

[@DavidCapperino]

As far as I know, there isn't "re-train" only AFSCs, unless you mean those that have an obj-in/out. It is possible before your window if you're going AFSPECWAR.

Hey Dave, I got out the Navy from 06 - 11, joined the Marine Corps. from 13 - 20.(12 years active total service) All active duty, made E-6, joining the Air Force, they'll bump me down to E-5, and put me in Supply for the Air Force. I'm trying to change to another AFSC when I get in instead of Supply. Could you explain the potential solution to this if at all possible? Many thanks, Christopher

[@DavidCapperino]

Yes, this should be explained loosely in the video. If you look at my posts, there’s 2-3 videos on cross training. Talk to your career assistance advisor. Everyone’s situation is different especially when I don’t know the how your career field is. There are a plethora of factors that could affect your ability to cross train.

Currently e4 with a line for staff and just extended a second time on my 4 year contract. Do I fall under the NCORP even as a FTA still or is that only if you reenlist? I want to stay in the air force so bad but want a different career!

[@DavidCapperino]

Yes you can. I’m pretty sure that’s more or less the same thing I said. If I didn’t, then yes because you’re an NCO now you fall into a different category. That being the NCORP. At least, that’s what I think for what I was told.
