Question: How do I go about submitting a PTAD request for the time after TBS and before IFS? Is there a form I get from admin on my end ? When does the recruiter come into play? Any info would help...thanks.

PTAD question post TBS
- Thread starter Shadow9660
- Start date
Are you staying in Quantico or going to P'Cola for IFS? If you come down to P'Cola your request would go through officer control at MATSG-21.
You would work with your recruiter before submitting the request.
My answers are vague because that is all I know - I don't want to suppose something and give you bad gouge.
Another question is why are you doing PTAD before IFS? Is there a wait to class up, or are you just looking for free leave back home? The API wait is backing up more and more. Determining when you start API is a mixture of class standing at TBS and check-in date at MATSG-21.

sorry i should have specified.....Charlie co. aviation IFS is ALL at quantico, but they aren't starting us until oct 24th at IFS, and we grad. on the 6th. My question was if there is a form I need to fill out....or is it strictly word of mouth via the recruiter to my staff?
I wouldn't count on getting PTAD for a short delay like that. Suck it up and burn the leave; you'll have plenty of it for later. You can always go in the hole and you'll have no problem building it back up during flight school. The likelihood of them approving leave for that time outweighs the likelihood of PTAD by a great margin.
"Under the table" isn't the best way to do anything, especially when you are the FNG. If you're sitting at Pensacola for months waiting to start IFS just tell MATSG what your plans are and they should work with you. Secondary employment sometimes requires command approval in the fleet, and typically students aren't allowed to have an outside job, but I think people understand how those waits can go. Just expect to be told something along the lines of 'as soon as a spot opens up for you, the job needs to move towards the bottom of your priority list.'
Also, most people want PTAD so they can sit at home and not have any adult supervision. In the words of a very wise man (my company XO), those people "need to cut the frickin' cord".

I knew a dude that bartended part time while going through HT's, kind of just a way to meet people. Obviously if you are struggling it is not a good idea, but to me it doesn't seem any worse than any other hobby if it is enjoyable, stress-free, and doesn't interfere with your primary responsibilities.
