4.12.1. "The shirt may be altered for a tapered fit." 4.12.2. "Cuff Links. Cuff links are optional with the long-sleeved shirt. They will either be silver, satin finish or highly polished with the "wing and star" design; silver, highly polished with the AF symbol; or plain silver, highly polished, commercial design with dimensions and shape similar to the “wing and star” cuff links." And now you know...

60% of the time ALE works 100% of the time. 11.175, 11.232, and 13.927 are clutch.

Probably because 13-65 covers all FY14 voluntary separations. But I'm not in A1...I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Expect completely a completely new PSDM (or extensive rewrites) to replace 13-130 soon, just like what happened today with 13-131 (FSB).

Official email channels. ETA: I share info when I get it because we all need to stay informed; we need to take care of each other.

Quoting AFPC: "Based on current delegated authorities, AFPC must return VSP applications from officers who have ADSCs not listed as waiverable in PSDM 13-65, FY14 Officer Voluntary Force Management Programs. This includes flying ADSCs, some medical incentive pays, and others. Those applications received to date from officers with non-waiverable ADSCs will be returned to the member with a note explaining they are currently ineligible. AFPC is still seeking expanded ADSC waiver authority from the SecAF and anticipate receiving [it] in the near future. At such time as the expanded authority is granted, AFPC will send new guidance to the field to alert members that they may now reapply based upon newly delegated waiver authority." So say we all.

According to the much older craniums, it is where they only let the bonus takers fly.

If you're dead and you didn't fill out the paperwork, the CC could do a line of duty determination and your family gets $0.

There was a much better article published in the ASPJ in 2011 that talked about the AAD problem...

Pretty sure someone already posted a link to it here. Nice self-props.

IDT counter is the number of days since you returned from your last deployment. If your deployments and/or TDYs are not showing up in your TDY history, you need to take your travel vouchers for the missing trips over to the personnel people to get your records fixed.

Except for the pesky guy who runs the separations branch who says different...

Chief of AFPC Retirements/Separations

Standby to standby.

From base MPF today: "AFPC is in the process of revising the Officer RIF PSDM as well."

Seen elsewhere on the Internets (attributed to an O-6): "I've just spoken AFPC/DPSOR Retirements and Separations Branch to get clarification on 11M eligibility for VSP. Per PSDM 13-65 (amended 5 Feb 14), undergraduate pilot training and advanced pilot training ADSCs are not being waived. AFPC confirmed that this is currently true and any VSP packages submitted by pilots with a flying ADSC will be disapproved."

Why have they not said this in the first place?

People with a DOS are ineligible for VSP...

I know a Sq/CC who just called the Commander's hotline...they told him that UPT ADSCs are not waiverable for VSP, but there was no penalty for applying and getting denied.

Officers meeting one or more of the conditions below are ineligible to apply: Officer with an approved Date of Separation (record status 20) or pending separation or retirement application as of release of this PSDM. If the pending separation or retirement application is disapproved, officer may become eligible.

Except that she's not hot, at least what I can see from the over-applied makeup and possible use of Photoshop on the pictures in this thread.

Recently they were tagging people with STRDs of sometime 1994 for O-5 billets. Know an O-4 with a STRD of sometime 1999 get told he should look for the short tour he wanted to do before the 365 came to him. Some O-3s in the '05 year group were tagged with 365s because they had STRDs of late '05 or early '06. YMMV. This matches exactly what I was told by the short tour people at AFPC, even though the way the reg is written indicates ODSD is always used.
