I don’t have the official answer but the way it was explained to me is that you need an AO (aeronautical order) in order to activate flight pay in the Guard or Reserves and then you can keep flight pay based on gate months. I left AD after 12.5 years and initially went to a flying squadron. They didn’t have a timeline for RQ and I found a non-flying job where I didn’t have to commute and left after a few months. Since I started in a flying billet when I transitioned from AD I had the AO as a reservist and now just have to keep my Fly PHA to get my flight pay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks ExCONS, no break in service and I’ll definitely make sure I get 6 and a half more good years! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Slightly related, 06 year group traditional reservist that doesn’t have any desire to do ACSC or make O-5: Can I make it to sanctuary now without needing to be granted continuation? My primary AFSC is 11M but I am not in a flying duty so I’m not sure if it is as “automatic” as if I were actively flying. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any idea on the appointment process once separated from AD. PC was completed awhile back and I hit my separation date last week. My new unit is trying to get me out for the new-comers orientation during the October UTA but I haven't been moved over yet on the AFPC/ARPC side so they can't in-process me. ISR said it could take 45 days, but 45 days from when? Will I end up with a break in service? I should have figured it wouldn't be as easy as off AD on one day and a TR the next but man this is stupid. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

July interviewees have October and possibly even November class dates. Things got pushed back a bit lately. SW typically has a 120 day window (IIRC) from invite to class to keep candidates from stringing the company along and they were getting close to not meeting that requirement on their end lately.

For anyone trying to figure out timelines; I got the news about my Scroll approval today. Submitted around the middle of December. Back in the PC office's hands for final approval.

Scrimp, Mine would have been the 5-7 days. Got the email on the 7th day that they were ready to process it, but I'm still not Scroll approved so they cannot until that happens.

Does anyone have a recent timeline for Scroll approval? My ISR sent the paperwork up in December and it has been at HAF since January. AFPC is ready to do the final approval for my PC, but can't until I am Scroll approved. I know you try and give 6 months for the process, but HAF sitting on it since January seems a bit much. Any ideas?

It depends on your separation counselor that you get assigned at the A&FRC. The verbiage for the DOL Workshop (days 2-4) exemption is "Full time" employment. Mine accepted my Intent to Hire letter from my Reserve unit. The counselor is the one that signs off on your TAP completion paperwork.

That table specifies voluntary separation incentive separatee (think VSP or other incentivized RIF programs), so no for PC we are not authorized PTDY. I think part of the documentation for PC includes signing a statement that acknowledges that we are not able to receive PTDY.

I'm guessing the GI Bill is because it is really a service commitment. Reserves, Guard, AD are all eligible. If you're worried about the 4 years after signing, separate and transfer once in the Guard or Reserves. I had 5 months off my PCS ADSC approved. I'm not in my career field but am going back so they are, "unexpectedly happy to have me back." -verbiage from the functional." Only about 48 days from submittal to initial notification. Just finishing up the 1288 details from my Reserve Unit. Good luck everyone! Anyone with experience of getting a mortgage approved during transition PM please.

When did you submit? Just curious how long it took to get to SAF.

Finally submitted as well. About 5 months off PCS ADSC with a hire letter and position number.

Thanks Whitman. Hopefully they don't take 6 months for everyone right now. Trying to start terminal in July. It's a PCS ADSC so maybe it will be in a different flow. Should get that letter this week.

Not airdrop. I've been out of my community for quite a few years but never changed my RDTM code so hopefully since I'd be more useful to my community if they let me PC I might have a chance. Who knows if the board can comprehend all if that though. How long since you submitted?

Any recent parolees? I have a PCS ADSC that expires Feb '19 and am putting together a package to take 5 months off and PC in September. I have about a 99% chance with the reserve unit I am working with. Should I wait for the offer and or position number from yhe unit to submit my PC package or just send it now? Just trying to stack the deck in the best way to get the approval from the board. 11M Edit to add AFSC

Try calling your CTO, whether it is Wingate or SATO, etc. and book through them. They should be able to take care of it without DTS which can obviously be cleaned up after you're back or while you're gone.

Yeah, I definitely don't plan on getting hired through the AMS postings just trying to find what all is out there. I've been out of the mainstream for a few years. I forgot about the Scott option as well. Herk, sent you a PM.

Long time lurker on the forums getting ready to separate from AD and applying for airline jobs. The family has made the decision to settle down in Colorado Springs and I'm trying to find a part time reserve/guard gig in Colorado, preferably the Springs but I could commute to Buckley. I'm a mobility pilot, so I'm assuming I would need to find a rated position? I am planning on applying for PC, about 4 months off of my PCS ADSC so a CAT E billet wouldn't work until I paid back my 3 for 1. I'm constantly looking at reserve vacancies on AMS but it sounds like there are a ton of opportunities out there that aren't always posted. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have a fall back plan which would involve commuting to the west coast, but I would rather not have to do that if I can avoid it.

JeepC17: Should be in the MDS vol 1 section 2. For the KC-10 it states, "Unqualified crew members (up to 39 months at the end of a non-flying assignment or 48 months at the end of any active flying assignment) will complete a SQ/CC directed requalification (TX-3) course in-unit and a flight evaluation. Note: The requalification formal school flying training courses may be substituted for in-unit training. An ADSC is required if the formal school option is utilized." It sounds like if you do an in-unit requal program you should be good, no ADSC. I imagine this is similar guidance for the C-17s as well.
