kaleb283 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Due to a paperwork issue, my commissioning has been pushed back to 1 OCT, even though I graduate this May. Does anyone know if there is a waiver that can be put in to move my commissioning up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacAirCoug Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 A waiver for what, exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossHarris Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Enjoy the small break before things get busy. You won't get 150 days off again until you retire or separate, which may be in 20+ years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if there is a waiver that can be put in to move my commissioning up? If you're an ROTC guy (I assume you are), then you are SOL. The only thing that could possibly move up your EAD would be if you got orders to go to IFS earlier. In this budget environment, there is no reason for the AF to bring you on active duty right away so that you can sit at your UPT base for 6-12 months until your class starts.

Learjetter Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Due to a paperwork issue, my commissioning has been pushed back to 1 OCT, even though I graduate this May. Does anyone know if there is a waiver that can be put in to move my commissioning up? Same thing happened to me 23 years ago...I was "inadvertently" left off the approved commissionee list, and the Air Staff wasn't accepting waivers. I ended up taking summer classes, enrolled for the fall, and got an add'l bachelors degree. Then commissioned in Oct, then waited a year to EAD. Make the most of the time: get a job, continue school, chase tail, drink beer, go get your PPL, surf, climb a mountain, write a book, go on a very long vacation hiking thru Central America... Or not. Your call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Are you talking about pinning your bars or EADing? Because commissioning past the fiscal year could cause you problems if you are a pilot select. Plus I'm not really sure why pinning your bars would be pushed back for any reason, most guys I know commissioned as soon as they finished classes if they finished in the summer.
