Dang. Sorry to hear that. It really makes no sense to me. AF doesn’t realize that plenty of folks see situations like this happen and decide to just cut ties completely and not continue in any capacity after Active Duty. Somehow them taking the risk of you separating completely and not staying in the Reserves for the next 9 years is worth having you on the books in your Sq for the next 5.5 months?

Got the email today. Palace Chase approved! Request 6 months and they approved it for 4 months. All-in-all my app was in the system for a little over 5 months and at SAFPC for 6 weeks. Best of luck!

Officers can apply 1 year from your requested separation date. And you must submit at least 6 months in advance of the date you’re requesting. So giving them at least 6 months notice.

That’s ridiculous. All in all, mine took 4 months to make it through AFPC. Just to get to SAF and sit for “30-45 days”. Still waiting on an answer. I know people who are already past their requested separation date and still waiting. Who knew you had to submit a year in advance in order to not be in a significant crunch…

I emailed the Palace Chase office last week and they didn't have an update outside of "we haven't received info back from SAF". Anyone else heard an update with their case?

Any movement in vMPF or CMS? I imagine the board has to meet soon if they do it monthlyish and yours has been there for 5ish weeks now.

Any idea how often SAF/PC looks at the apps? I’ve heard once a month but don’t know for sure.

Anyone know what the current turnaround at SAFPC has been lately? @HEFOE P @WheelsOffAny luck?

Anyone have any luck with 6 month Palace Chase requests recently? I’m an 11M at a UPT assignment asking for 6 months.
