ThreeHoler Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 DOD just said they were going to turn in a FY15 budget request under the sequestration cap and save the "fallout" money from the new budget act. Since they're saving the supposed extra money for FY16+, I would expect the personnel cuts to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tunes Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Haven't been eligible for a while. Still eligible for standard Palace Chase at 3:1. is it still btw 2-6 left? I'm also assuming the same ole denial for everyone unless less than 18 mo. left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty-six & Two Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 is it still btw 2-6 left? I'm also assuming the same ole denial for everyone unless less than 18 mo. left? Can't speak to anything outside of the Herk world, but 2-6 years remaining on an ADSC and it's probably not gonna happen. The reg says to be eligible for PC, one has to have served 2/3 of their initial ADSC. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean they have to approve it though. I know someone who applied with a projected separation date just under a year and a half remaining and was denied. They waited 120 days, reapplied with a requested separation date just under a year remaining and was subsequently approved. Timing and luck...

Catbox Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 And of course no one knows when that will be available. I have a feeling we are about to be sorely disappointed. Go and read the comments section on the my.af.mil 2014 force shaping announcement...there's an enormous number of people that are looking to TERA as their golden ticket. I think the Air Force is about to learn that more people than they ever imagined would get out if they felt they were getting a reasonably fair deal and the members of the AF are going to be sorely disappointed when Big Blue gives just about everyone a big No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Rumor mill fact check: If you apply for VSP and are subsequently denied, does your DOS on your SURF change from infinity to your ADSC end date? More importantly, does this make you a ripe AFPC target for a 365 if you have > 1 year left on your ADSC? Examples, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 No. Getting rejected for VSP did not show up anywhere n my records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theat6bisasham Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Dumb question: If you are on the bonus, can you apply for VSP? My gut says no, but then again that sounds like a rip off because i'm betting they still look at you for the RIF?...ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Hotel Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) The way I read everything... VSP application window starts in January? Edited December 21, 2013 by McLovin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut says no, but then again that sounds like a rip off because i'm betting they still look at you for the RIF?...ideas? My bet says yes. The only guys who have been able to take the 1/2 upfront option in recent years have been 11F's, and they're ineligible anyway. So I bet you can apply and if selected, your bonus only paid you out for those additional years you served past your original commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillEmAll Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Does anything say what amount you would receive for VSP? Is it a set in stone formula or something they could change for this announcement? I would be interested to see those numbers versus the RIF separation pay and see what would pay more. According to the timeline with VSP you'd be out in Sept and with the RIF by January, so that's 5 months of pay you'd still be collecting if you got RIF'd instead of VSP, I know someone has run the numbers before but curious to see current FY14 numbers.

Skitzo Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Last time around it definitely paid to get RIFed as opposed to VSP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaarman Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 That's one of the hilarious things... last time at 1.25 multiplier, depending on rank/TIS, you actually made more money staying in getting RIF'd collecting the extra 4 months of pay then accepting VSP.

sky_king Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Well, this is great. Not only will I be building a PRF while TDY enroute to a PCS, I'll also be meeting a RIF board... lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
