Chizz, I "volunteered" after I saw 4 bros head over to fly caravans on 365s. I am hoping to get re-qualled in the Tanker in the ANG (or stay here in T-6s) and then head to an airline job. Unfortunately my type rating expires in Aug on the global.

Gents, Approved!!! 2004 11M - KC-135 IP, T-6 IP and E-11A IP ADSC July 2015 SUPT Denied on my first App. This was my second VSP app Good luck for the rest of you out there waiting. There were several other 11m's approved at CBM today. Here was what was sent to me today FWIW: From: PPA-Voluntary Separation [mailto:dpsos.separations@randolph.af.mil] Sent: Monday, May 19, 2014 1:35 PM To: XXXXXXXX, and CC Subject: Voluntary Separation Application Approved This is to inform you that HQ AFPC has approved the voluntary separation application submitted by CPT XXXXXX See comments below: Congratulations! AFPC has been able to approve your FY14 Voluntary Separation Pay program application for 29 September 2014. We will update your approved Date of Separation (DOS) in MILPDS within 72 hrs. After 72 hours, please proceed to the vMPF to complete the Initial Separation Briefing, the pre-separation order worksheet and the DD FM 214 worksheet. To begin your out-processing, please proceed to the vMPF to complete the pre-separation order worksheet, Initial Separation Briefing, and the DD FM 214 worksheet. Please follow the instructions below to complete the above items. Upon accessing the vMPF, you will click on the Self-Service Actions link, Separations link and then the “Initial Separation Briefing” link. Complete the initial separation briefing and click the OK button. Air Force policy mandates a medical examination (physical) IAW AFI 48-123, Medical Examinations and Standards, before separation or retirement when certain conditions exist. The medical facility will determine whether an examination is mandatory or optional. To avoid the possibility of medical hold, please visit the Public Health section at your local medical treatment facility within 5 duty days of completing the initial separation briefing. The letter to initiate your medical clearance is located in the initial separation briefing. After completing the initial separation briefing, click the Pre-Separation Order Worksheet” link and complete the worksheet. Click the Next button and proceed through the worksheet screens. After completing the worksheet, click the Submit button and the worksheet will flow to AFPC for processing. Once the worksheet is submitted, the worksheet cannot be accessed again. Separation orders cannot be processed without this worksheet being completed and submitted. Review the DD Form 214 Worksheet, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, and provide source documents of missing entries to the MPS. Separation orders are normally available on vOP approximately 90 days prior to your approved DOS, or in cases of short notice separations, they are available ASAP provided a pre-separation worksheet was completed. Unfortunately there is no personal e-mail notification when orders have been completed, so it will be your responsibility to monitor vOP to receive orders. Thank you for your service and good luck in your future endeavors! NOTE: Please DO NOT REPLY to this email.

I had CC concurrence at both levels.

1 11M T11k3F 2 2004 3 135, T6 & E11 IP 4 10 months upt Adsc Resubmitted on the first and waiting on the decision. Previously, mine was kicked back for upt Adsc. I was told by the total force service center I could only have one separation application in at a time. The system has eaten my first VSP application after I submitted a separation for misc reasons. I would opt for the VSP over the PC separation if I were making a choice. Worst case if VSP app is denied, resume the PC application. Best of luck. RB

Has anyone else gotten a good timeline when it should change from "Referred to BPO"?

I was able to knock mine out yesterday afternoon. Not sure if you have tried again today. Good luck with it. My browser crashed the first try uploading the IRR paper. RB

HiFlyer, They should have been clean based upon where it happened. You have to meet the Altitude restiction or perform a right 270 to be above the mountians. There were also no burn marks on the other pieces as well indicating a breakup in flight. Sad day for the EARS.....

If you are married with them, you can get an apartment or house. You can rent furniture and get your expenses reimbursed. Pets are a no go for now. Neither is a fiancé, or even your most prized gay gerbils. The policy is currently under fire from multiple angles. The more people there bitch, the quicker I think it will get reversed. I don't think people are as happy with the redone dorms as expected. Plus, a bunch of PIT Pad owners and students are trying to figure out the tactful legality of the matter between masters papers. If you are heading for T-6's, I can send you some slightly dated info. rickybobby135@gmail.com. Later

Fellas that is my exact point. I provide a 1900 SQ ft house that far exceeds the quality of life of the rooms on base. The whole point I set the house up like this (for the same amount of money I could have financed 2 houses for cash-flow that exceeds the pit pad). The lodging has been remodeled but it still sucks. Other than having the students complain on critiques, there is no solution if it is legal. If it is not, I would like to politely have the OG just back off enforcing the policy. I am just trying to figure out if it is a JAG question of legal one. I believe it is a legal one from the finance guys I have talked to. I just don't know the JAGs here or feel comfortable talking to them about it here. I am trying to help bros out. But I will be shutting it down to keep me from going in the red. It just sucks because the leadership yet again finds a way to screw the average guy/gal.

Has anyone seen the new policy letter not allowing people to live in PIT pads and forcing them to live on base at Randolph AFB for training? Is this legal? I don’t see in the JFTR how this can be legal. Are there other guidelines out there that I am unaware about? I have a PIT pad and offer a more comfortable stay for the member and put a little money in my pocket based off the 39 dollars a day with two people in the house. While there are a lot of people that are upset about this, it is difficult to challenge an O-6 about a policy when I am an O-3 within the system and could face the negative ramifications. Most of the other members are also within the system and therefore don’t want to rock the boat when they are entering a formal training program. The first week you meet with the OG and he tells all the single people to move on base. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I will have to shut the house down and just rent the house out to normal people. It will be a about the same amount of money, but it defeats the purpose of taking good care of my people. Thanks in advance for the help. I added the link. PM me if you don’t want to post it on here for privacy. 5. What per diem rate is authorized when a member uses other accommodations despite availability of adequate government quarters? When adequate Government quarters are available on the U.S. installation to which a member is assigned TDY, and the member is directed to use them, and the member uses other lodgings as a personal choice, lodging reimbursement is limited to the Government quarters cost on the U.S. installation to which assigned TDY (44 Comp. Gen. 626 (1965)). Per diem cannot be limited based on the presence of 'nearby' Government quarters (i.e., not on the U.S. installation to which the member is assigned TDY, but another 'nearby' U.S. installation or other uniformed facility)." http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/faqgovqtr.cfm http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...3&l=9c0162c02b new OG Policy letter.pdf
