FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)

Recommended Posts

With the heat the AF's already taken for the GO's per capita in comparison to the other services I guess I should be surprised.. but I'm not. Wonder if the prepared questions for the next AF Secretary/CSAF tour will include how they justify this.

I'm not an Occupy Wall Street kinda guy.. but great Noodly God.. talk about the 1%.

I thought the same thing...in all seriousness...revolutions have started for much less than this.

Awesome...got a 1405 date today finally, still trying to break the code on what that really means for the TERA process...maybe a rack-and-stack for whose heart to break first with a denial notice?

I also received an assignment...for Jan '15...but my TERA application still shows FM-Validation Complete. Needless to say, I am not signing anything until my TERA gets summarily disapproved (probably because I received an assignment AFTER I applied for TERA).

Frustration anyone? Oh, and I am looking forward to the complete reboot of the program on Monday because AFPC is going through a server migration tomorrow morning for the servers that all of our applications, etc. appear to be on.

. BTW, anyone know what floor Retirements and Separations is on? I need to know if I'll have to rent a cherry picker.

Get the cherry picker. You'll need it.

I'll keep this brief.

I went to AFPC in Oct, walked in the front door planning to go see two people in 2 different offices. I'd been there many times throughout my career, and know my way through the building. However the foyer was different. There were now doors leading to the hallways that take you into the building.

I walk past the receptionist (hmmm... why do they need that), and went to open the door.

It's locked. I try again... And get the "Excuse me??" from the receptionist. I turn, and notice about 6 people staring at me like I've invaded the place.

It turns out the building was "upgraded" so that you have to have a badge, and use it on the electronic door scanner to get in. You cannot just go in to AFPC anymore.

So,... I have to have the receptionist call the person I was going to see, wait for someone to find them and send them to the foyer, and have them ESCORT me (you know...the guy in uniform with the ID card) in. While I'm waiting, some guy in a suit starts talking to me, and explains how they had to change things.

"It's too dangerous. We've had people come in and yell at our people, even act threatening."

Wow.

The Air Force Personnel Center... the place where the people in the AF can go to openly discuss their careers... on a guarded military installation... has intentionally found another way to reduce our ability to speak with the those that affect our career development. Apparently partly under the guise of "security" and "work place safety".

Many of you may not agree that this is another significant step backwards. However, the symbolism,... the further lack of transparency,... as a minimum, speaks volumes.

The pussification continues.

Well, looks like AFPC is not too busy to hand out 365s, but are too busy to answer the phone to discuss the cryptic ass set of orders I got. Beyond pissed.

Thanks a lot, Obama.

With us pulling out of AFG what's the deal with 365s? Shouldn't they be going away or at least drastically decreasing?

Someone at AFPC either reads this forum (or caught a clue) as the following is the new migration verbiage:

"The servers supporting the AFPC Secure environment will migrate into the Air Force Network starting 27 March 0530, through 28 March 1600."

It turns out shutting the systems down on the last day to submit certain applications might not be the brightest idea ever...so the migration is delayed a day.

I'll pick 'em up when I swing by to wave my pecker at 'em through the window. BTW, anyone know what floor Retirements and Separations is on? I need to know if I'll have to rent a cherry picker.

I'll go in halfsies on the cherry picker.

I subscribed to page update alerts. I didn't see any VSP changes...maybe they posted something about TERA.

The following answers have recently been updated:

New/Updated Answers

Officer Force Management Programs (View Answer <https://gum-crm.csd.disa.mil/app/answers/detail/a_id/26962> )

Love it..."'something' was updated, but we'll leave it to you to click through the six links and three attached PDFs to find out if that 'something' applies to you"

Next time I brief a low level I'm going to say "'something' might be in our flight path, maybe at an conflicting altitude...keep your eyes open"

Its the same military that doesn't allow troops to carry their own weapons if they desire. Another base shooting yesterday, and still all they want to talk about is sexual harassment and cheating on tests. Not sure why anyone would ever want to get out.

I've known a few guys recently (past 3 months) get 365s, but they were to Korea, Kuwait or the Deid... haven't heard of one to AFG recently. Anyone know folks out there with an AFG 365 lined up anytime soon other than someone headed out to be a Sq CC or higher?

Yeah, considering the AF has about 2% of the DoD's helos it makes sense that we are filling helo air advisor jobs... SMH!

Congrats on the TERA approval Altus... hopefully the first of many we see posted here. And just think... it only took 108 pages on this thread to see anyone less than 19 yrs approved!
