woah.. okay. :( wait for months, by then they already training
in the army wing, still can join AFS?
why don't you share your story with us (from OCS to AFS) so
i wont have to ask you so many questions?
thanks for your feedback though. :)
Ok, for a WSO(C3), you need to go into OCS.
It works slightly differently though. If you are a scholar or
from a scholar batch (e.g. me but I am not scholar), you can
indicate interest to sign in the 1st 2 weeks of OCS (a common term
between all 3 services). For me, I was one of those who were sort
of fast-tracked because of my results.
However, if they still have not conducted the interview, I am
afraid he will wait till his Army service term finishing before
they take him out. In OCS, there are a few stages: 2 weeks Common
Leadership Module (CLM) when cadets of all 3 services are in army
wings, Service Term (11 weeks for army, 7 weeks for air force),
Professional Term (26 weeks for air force, 22 weeks for army) and
the last 3 weeks where all cadets come together to practice for
comms parade.
I quote what the officer that did my recruitment said, "You can
only be taken out at 3 points: in the first 2 weeks, after service
term or after commissioning since it makes no sense to last till
pro term and still don't go for comms parade."
In this case, it is very likely your boyfriend will be taken out
earliest at the end of his first 2 weeks or he will have to go
through the 11 week army service term. If AFRC is unable to do it,
please make sure he commissions first before going over to air
force. Either way, he will either hold at AFRC itself in CMPB or
hold at Air Force School.
One important, please do follow up closely because the WSO
recruitment officer is going back to his squadron. The transition
might mean that some applications will get lagged behind especially
when the WSO recruitment people are busy now with recruiting
potential SAFOSes.
Since it's his first week in OCS, he still has time to go over.
There should have been a recruitment session in OCS in the first
week and he should have reminded the CPT about his application.
Either way, don't worry. They will get you somehow if you have
passed the compass test.
I am speaking from experience because I went over to air wing
after first 2 weeks without passing either the compass test or
going through the interview. Then again, as I said, it's because
the officers were pretty partial to my results that they granted me
quite a number of waivers.
