    Promotion and PRF Information

    I'm curious how the board process has changed/if at all with the shift to the 2-line PRF, elimination of BPZ/IPZ/APZ and new stratification criteria. WRT bullets being readable to all career fields, I've seen recent feedback from a NAF to try and avoid acronyms to enhance general readability...at what point to CCDR/CCMD, hell even TDY become "standard" acronyms? Isn't the purpose of line operational units to provide combat mission ready forces to combatant commanders? 

    There should be  a APFC owned publication similar to the AFTTP 3-2.5 or DOD Style Issuance Guide with common use acronyms that DAF can point to and say to use this. But that would make too much sense and take away people's subjective "in my experience" say.  

    I’m not sure it has changed all that much with all those changes.  What I have noticed is that some career fields have benefited from separating all the line of the Air Force career fields and it has hurt some.  In the combat support category, folks who normally would have promoted when we were all lumped together are not making the cut.  Seems to be more competitive now.

    We have separate boards now.  Blaming it all on the one person who isn’t rated isn’t the reason why these dudes didn’t get promoted.  I suggest you all watch the video on YouTube on how they conduct these boards.  When they grade records If anyone in the group is two or more points off from each other they have to discuss and make up the difference.  Here’s the link.

     

    Chances of TFCSD ETP

    Anyone have any success getting at TFCSD waiver?  I know they already increased it from 5 to 8 but I will have 11 years in by the time the board comes around.  I only want to apply for RPA pilot, anyone know what my chances of getting approved?

    The bill pages just got updated with some new actions. I have no idea what they mean, but the committee is doing something with them today.

    I saw it too.  Looks like its scheduled for vote on Monday.....hopefully we see increments posted the same day or the next.  I have a really low line number....I was supposed to promote 1 Sept but oh well.  Does anyone know if we get to put on right away after it is confirmed or do we wait until Oct 1.

    Does anyone know where I can find information out about an SSB and how to get one initiated?

    I think you have to show that someone made a mistake.  For instance, they left out a decoration or OPR that you think would have made a difference at the board.

    Following the O-4/O-5 results for my own learning. The O-5 LAF promotion board says it's "reported into OSD" as of today. Expected release date for both Maj and LtCol is now early-mid July. 

    I'm sure the O-5 board will come out early or mid July....but the Maj board will probably get pushed again.  It's still sitting with the USECAF.

    Has the status at least moved on from USECAF?

    Negative.  Still sitting with USECAF.

    The timeline between the board and estimated release date is very similar to 09’s timeline, however that was due to big Air Force not trusting their senior raters and re-scrubbing the records.  Looks like they are still figuring out this 100% thing.  

    Agree.  Looks like they are still figuring it out.

    I wonder how the promotion board would know that. Maybe it's even a different level somewhere higher that's disagreeing with the 100% policy and trying to sift through records for DUI's, etc? I don't know. It just doesn't make sense that 100% promotion would need to take half a year or more to get approved. On that note though, why would it take months for any board to be approved once the board adjourns?

    Just saw that the AF Reserve O-4 board results are coming out on the 23rd.  Still no word on the Active Duty O-4 results.....SMH.

    Does anyone know why it takes so long for promotion board results to be finalized and released? The CY19D LAF major board met at the beginning of Dec 2018. The board results were supposed to be out originally in late Feb-early Mar. It seems that every couple weeks they move it back further. In the last week it just got moved from late May to early-mid June. What takes them so long?

    Last year it got pushed multiple times too.  I heard that the reason why last year was because SR’s gave folks promotes that probably shouldn’t have received them.  I’m in the same boat as you.  Waiting for them to update the promotion release.  Last year they released the Major promotion results June 19th .
