SFG 168 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Anyone in charge here? This article does not mention promotion, but these concepts should be considered as we're about to overhaul the system. Take note. "To find a solution without letting unvalidated assumptions dictate design, we eliminate solution-oriented language (e.g., "I need a car") and substitute problem-oriented language (e.g., "I need to be at work every day" or, even more simplified, "I need to accomplish work"). This is how we discover the value-basis for what we’re designing." https://thestrategybridge.org/the-bridge/2019/7/8/keeping-off-the-grass 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceballs 33 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 https://www.govtrack.us/congress/committees/SSAP/02 According to that, the first DoD-related topic for the House is on Tuesday, 10 Sept. I’m not very savvy with how politics work, but maybe we’ll get lucky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weezer 85 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Here’s the link to the Senate nomination: https://www.congress.gov/nomination/116th-congress/982?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%22%5C%22Air+Force%5C%22%22%7D&s=3&r=11 You can check the latest action, and you can surf around and see when it’s up for a vote on the committee/Senate calendars. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceballs 33 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I found the major link as well. All it says for their actions is that it’s been referred to the Committee on Armed Services. Is that supposed to be updated when it’s scheduled to be discussed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceballs 33 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The bill pages just got updated with some new actions. I have no idea what they mean, but the committee is doing something with them today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like its scheduled for vote on Monday.....hopefully we see increments posted the same day or the next. I have a really low line number....I was supposed to promote 1 Sept but oh well. Does anyone know if we get to put on right away after it is confirmed or do we wait until Oct 1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceballs 33 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 It should be the same day. AFPC said 1 Sept or Senate confirmation date, whichever is later. Im in the same boat where it should have been 1 Sept. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Skyryder 3 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Now that the Senate has confirmed Major promotions, any idea if those individuals that were expecting to pin on September 1st are entitled to back pay? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bode 50 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 From what I saw on the MAF mentorship page, no back pay entitlement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craft Beer 3 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 No back pay, same thing happened last year with the O-5 release, just immediate pin on for those with a number that was already up. Not sure if the DOR was all the same or back dated tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gen. Brian Kelly said at the briefing. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/10/21/farewell-line-of-the-air-force-massive-officer-category-broken-out-into-six-groups/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=Socialflow+AIR The complete list of career fields in each category is as follows: ♦ Air Operations and Special Warfare, or LAF-A: pilot (11X), combat systems (12X), remotely piloted aircraft pilot (18X), air battle manager (13B), special tactics (13C), combat rescue (13D), tactical air control party (13L); ♦ Space Operations, or LAF-S: space operations (13S), astronaut (13A); ♦ Nuclear and Missile Operations, or LAF-N: nuclear and missile operations (13N); ♦ Information Warfare, or LAF-I: cyber operations (17X), intelligence (14N), operations research analyst (61A), weather (15W), special investigations (71S), information operations (14F), public affairs (35X); ♦ Combat Support, or LAF-C: airfield operations (13M), aircraft maintenance (21A), munitions and missile maintenance (21M), logistics readiness (21R), security forces (31P), civil engineering (32E), force support (38F), contracting (64P), financial management (65X); ♦ Force Modernization, or LAF-F: chemist (61C), physicist/nuclear engineer (61D), developmental engineer (62E), acquisition management (63A).

Bender 251 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 “The promotion boards for officers in each developmental category will not be stacked entirely with officers from that same category, Kelly said, though some will be from that category. Instead, there will be a mix of officers, depending on the size of the board, to make sure the board gets an “institutional perspective.””So how is that any different than what we have now?~Bendy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty sure Gen Kelly is referring to the makeup of the board. All officers up for promotion will be from the same competitive category, but there will be a few board members from outside the cores represented to spice things up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still seems like it's defeating the purpose of splitting the categories. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brabus 1,569 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 So we still have some shoe clerk who knows jack shit about flying and puts no score emphasis on WIC, #1 IP, flying combat related awards/rankings, etc. They’ll still be putting emphasis on bullshit that doesn’t have to do with flying jets and killing bad guys. Not a whole lot different from what it has been. At least you won’t compete against the PA officer who has a shitload of time to projo and volunteer for a ton of stuff while doing their second masters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
