At least we know the AFPC folks are prepping for their future careers down the road at the VA. Seems the three tactics they have in common is delay, deny and shred.

Today I was fortunate enough to be selected by my base, the 114th Fighter Wing, to go to UPT. I will be posting a recap in the interview section that I hope will give you all some good pointers when you go into your interview...good luck to you all, hope you hear from the boards that are coming up!
Congrats on getting selected

I emailed thinking they might have sent out letters. I wouldn't have received that D2 my location
-
I second that they will be out by the end of next week. Got an email from the sq saying that.

Anyone submit to the 190th FS? Results?
-
It was a reference to the Friday shirt authorization.
Might wanna reset the circuit breaker and lockheed fix the sarcasm detector.

Wg/CCs will wait for specific direction from MAJCOM/CCs to be allowed to implement Mustache march.
Toro, you think this will actually be pushed down from the top?
-
Ya, just got an email. They forgot I was deployed. Didn't get selected for an interview.
-
How did you guys hear from the 114th FW? I still haven't heard any words from them. I'm also downrange, so not sure if thats a player.

MountainHerc,
Are you keeping up with queep at home while you are downrange....if so, stop it!
Here's my plan that has worked for the last 16.9 years:
1) when getting ready for leave, TDY, deployment, etc, put the ol out of office reply to work.
2) enjoy your time away from the squadron...it will not burn down and the wheels will keep on turning while you are gone...trust me. You are not as important as you think you are. However, you are a unique snowflake---just like everyone else!
3) when you return, open up outlook and delete every email you got while gone....don't spend even a second reading them. If it was that important, that person already found the info they needed or they will write/email/call back at a later date.
BLOB (that's the lesser used Bottom Line On Bottom): concentrate on the mish downrange and stop giving a shit about the squadron running's back home...it will be there when you RTB safety!
Check 6!
Cap-10
4)
I couldn't agree more about the squadron still being there when I get back, but I'm trying to get out of there. I needed some of the emails in my inbox to help put together packages for guard unit applications and get my second attempt at Palace Chase together.
-
I was using this to get my homestation email while deployed. You guys have another way of getting to that other than the portal?
-
I was just informed: "You are TENTATIVELY APPROVED for separation from Active Duty via PALACE CHASE."
Congrats FF. When is your DOS?

Fifty-six & Two
Do you have access to the year groups 2009 & 2010 11X & 12X FSB Eligibility and Guidance? -
Thanks for this CAP-10. This issue has hit my family. My father flew A-4's, A-7's and F-16's from 68-84. Just passed away after fighting Prostate cancer for 12 years. Diagnosed at 55, passed at 67.

Also, in my opinion, why would you kick out instructor/evaluator navs who you've dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars training them to this point and they want to make a career of it(after all were cutting retirements so let's be realistic). Why not kick out a simple mission nav that's been passed over for captain and hasn't gone to Instructor school yet? Then again, that's just my opinion.
-
I just figured being a passed over Lt with joint spouse "not recommended" on my resume would have also helped. No joy
-
I had 3 years left.

C-130 H Nav....
Regrettably, your PALACE CHASE application was disapproved by SAF/PC for the best interest of the Air Force.
Gotta love it -
IMHO also it's about to get a lot worse. I would say it's a 4-6 month process right now because of the shutdown. I put in my app 7Aug and it arrived at the SAF last week.
-
Anyone know how often the SAF Board meets?
-
FF,
I had my ADO call AFPC after I sent about 4 emails. He said my application had gotten lost in the pile of ~400 palace chase packages. That might help to call his direct line or drop the AFPC PC super a line.
And yes, my Application just now made it to the functional after 4 months of bouncing around the system.
-
Any Herc Navs apply lately? luck?
-
Chappy,
Thanks for the update on the timeline. After it sitting on the WG/CC's desk for 65 days I finally got movement yesterday. Took a call to some people in strategic places, but it got a fire lit under someone. I'm guessing I'll learn my fate around Christmas time. So much for my original DOS of 8 Nov!
