VSP just approved. Stats: 12R 2003 YG O-4 No ADSC but a pending assignment with an Assignment Selection Date of 2 December 2013 (not sure how much this mattered) Applied 6 Feb, commanders recommended approval but said that I was not in excess to local requirements, in case anyone cares. FWIW, I read BONEWSO's story last Monday of submittng a ticket through TFSC which seemed to result in movement. I did the same, submitted on Monday, got a canned reply on Friday, basically repeating the new PSDM language about 1 May. Then today, Monday the 21st, Approval e-mail. Good luck to those still waiting.

Pure speculation on my part, but it seems like these rated TERA/VSP approvals are flowing out in functional batches. Yesterday there were a couple of 11/12B guys and today a couple of 11/12R's. Last week it seemed like the 11M's were gettting approved. This is entirely anecdotal, but just what I think appears to be a pattern. Sooooo, the milliion dollar question: is it the Functionals holding this up, or the seperations office? From a 12R still waiting on VSP...

It is mentioned earlier in the thread, but bears repeating; CMS (found on the upper right hand corner of the VMPF home screen) will give you a few more details about the status of your application. Not much, but more. The separation tab of VMPF says that my app is "Reffered to BPO" but CMS tells me that it is referred to the "Vol Officer Sep Pay Office" or some such.

G.B.E.? No? I thought we were talking guitars....

And.... the upper left part of the matrix mentions "As of 28 Mar 2014 1700hrs (eom Feb inventory)" so at least it is based on up to date info and posted in a timely fashion.
