pilot-99999

I am not sure where this leaves those of you waiting for word on VSP... This morning I was approved for TERA - 1 Sep 14! (16 years) (I am a 1998 yr group, 11M core serving in 18X with ADSCs for PCS Aug 2015 and ADV Flying Training NOV 2016) Good luck to the rest of you... may the leak in the dam continue flowing.

Thanks for those who have taken it, I could still use a few more responses.

I forget the exact numbers but it was something like 157 were booted and 88 got to stay (of the 2x passed over Majors). There is an AF Times article that has the numbers (but that is about all it had of use)

Anyone hear about Majors not getting a continuation to 20 years after being passed over twice? I am hearing rumors. Has something like this ever happened before? Talk about wrong... kicking out a 15 year officer after recalling 100's of others who had alreay gotten out these the past few years.
