Inbound student pilot reporting instructions

WELCOME FROM THE SCHOOL REGISTRAR

Welcome to the "Lone Star Gunfighters"! Here you will find some basic information to assist you in making your in processing experience go smoothly. You will find that there may be different instructions depending upon if you are in a PCS status (B course) or in a TDY status (TX, Senior Officer or IP course). Regardless of what status you are (PCS/TDY), your Course Manager or I will contact you at least two weeks prior to your class start date. If you have not been contacted by then, please contact the Student Registrar at DSN 945-6106 or Commercial (210) 925-6106.

Security clearance requirements: (All students MUST comply with the Security Requirements Section or course entry will not be allowed)

If any information has changed since date of the last security clearance investigation, students are required to make pen and ink changes to the current SF86/e-QIP. Students MUST provide their initials by each change made on the form. Students may also use the SF86C attachment to provide changes to the corresponding references on the original SF86/e-QIP. The SF86C must be signed and dated by the student. Attach the SF86C to the original SF86/e-QIP.

5. The AF Form 2583 (Request for Personnel Security Action) MUST be completed by the Unit Security Manager. This form must be current within one year from FTU class start date.

ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE COMMITMENT (ADSC)

Inbound students are advised to coordinate with their home unit to be briefed on their active duty service commitment (ADSC) prior to entering training. Before the student departs, the losing unit will prepare an AF Form 63, Active Duty Service Commitment (ADSC) Acknowledgement Statement. Please ensure you bring a copy of your AF Form 63.

BILLETING

Students are responsible for making their own billeting reservations.

Contact with billeting must be made to confirm reservation and to provide travel card information prior to arrival. When making billeting reservations, ensure they know you are an F-16 FTU student. You should not be placed in the DLI quarters!

To be eligible for TLF, your orders must state that you are accompanied with dependents. For more information, go to Department of Defense Lodging.
