Duck, Pretty sure it maxes out @ 6yrs per the reg FF

Vpr, My memo was cost savings specific--direct and to the point. I also had MFR's from my losing CC and gaining CC. Cheers and GL! FF

anyone reached out to the sport books in vegas; could you imagine the O/U potential in this debacle...amazing!

congrats, next stop?

Short answer; I do not know. That might be worth a call to the education office and posting the specifics for the masses GL FF

I was NOT considered for the 1:1; got the full 6 years and plan on flying fatties for a longer time than I would have on AD. IMHO, you won't qualify if you submitted in '13. SAF/PC didn't waste anytime with my application---2 months, 5 days to be exact from the day it arrived until I got final word. Do yourself a favor, here's a couple of nuggets I've come across because my timeline has been compressed from notification to DOS of about 30 days--there are a couple of items that will cause serious delays: 1. harass your ISR about 'Scrolling' and get it completed 2. TAP now has a 'Capstone' Class that must be completed (as of 1 October 13, if you completed TAP before that date you are G2G; someone correct me if I'm wrong about the date) 3. Contact MTF and get on their 'radar' WRT sep PHA's, etc.----will need orders, but if you can prove that you've been approved for separation they should[italics] work with you. 4. Close any lose ends WRT your records; think PRF (your only as good as your DD214) 5. Your orders will NOT be cut if you haven't completed TAP & capstone class, DD214, and Pre-Sep Order worksheet 6. Out-processing is a PCS on steroids; getting out of BIG BLUE requires a F#ck-ton of paperwork and multiple stops to base entities you didn't know existed [sarcasm]...plan accordingly. GL and Cheers, FF

Functional disapproved, not surprised one bit...They make recommendations only, SAF/PC is the final authority! GL!

Initial ADSC expired / 4yrs, 5 mos (UPT) --- late rated 11M and passed over; it wasn't IF I was getting out (see FM14) more along the lines of WHEN---it's been said many times: 'timing is everything'. Cheers, Thank you and GL!

Thanks! 28 Feb

4 Months take or give; Wg/CC signed my app via vMPF on 23 September 13

I was just informed: "You are TENTATIVELY APPROVED for separation from Active Duty via PALACE CHASE."

Congrats! I applied months ago too (Sept '13) and still haven't heard----is that about the same time you submitted?

+1

Don't sell yourself short, take a look at page 1-3 and see the crazy shit that took place back in 06/07--There's nothing that says you can't apply for PALACE CHASE; trust me---the worst that can happen is SAF says no. Cheers and GL!

Still no word from SAF and/or AFPC wrt to my application...fail Not as if there are enough rumors, 'what if's', etc with the debacle known as FM14... After talking to my ISR today he's under the impression that a blue box (sts) on the matrix and justification that reads "FY14 Force Reduction Palace Chase" on your application--you're about 99% certain to be approved. Is anyone in the current process of applying being told this as well? Edit: my ISR is committing one of the 7 deadly sins of the AF; using 'common sense'!
