I was just approved. 6 months off and RPA > RPA seems to have done the trick. Yep, this was correct. Myself, my CC, and my ISR didn't get notified of SAF approval since (I think) the automated email system is TU. It was 10 days past before I finally got the answer I was looking for from AFPC because I kept pestering them over the phone. They resent the email with my 1288, I got all the rest of the sigs within two hours (ISR and gaining ANG unit), and had my formal approval by the next morning.

Week 10+, called AFPC and they're saying it is still at SAF. Looking on the CMS, it says that mine is "awaiting ARC assignment." Not sure what that means...I want to send whomever is on the other end of that my intent to hire letter.

Anybody else's Palace Chase currently being worked? I posted a couple weeks ago, and was hoping to be giving an approval update by this point. I applied on Jan 8. According to AFPC my application is at SAF now. I'm also wondering how the MilPDS shutdown is going to affect my situation if I have a separation date of mid-June, with about 20 days of terminal leave requested in there. Am I wrong is assuming that it's going to be a last-minute goat rope?

Been lurking here for a little while, just want to say thanks for the dialog. I just wanted to comment on this because when I read it, my stomach dropped because I knew there would be some mundane detail that I'd overlook in my own application when I thought I had read everything. It turns out that I'm OK, with 160 days between application and requested separation...but it took some nervous math in public to realize it. If nothing else, it's good that this detail is getting some attention. Here's my vitals: Former 135 A/C, avoided the Forks by volunteering for preds in '06 as part of an "ALFA tour" because that would then give me "base of choice" going back to the 135. 6+ years later at Holloman flying 9s and I'm seeing the writing on the wall with regards to promotion and follow on location. A PC to Syracuse works for my very soon to be growing family by getting back East closer to family. For me, the RPA job works...I've actually enjoyed it so far, but need to get out of the desert. I'm a location rather than airframe kind of guy. My application was submitted Jan 8, and went through the wickets (SQ and WG/CC sigs) the same day. I'm at home on baby watch, but I ran in to check email and it's still sitting at "Referred to PC OPR." Seems like the consensus around here is seeing about 6 weeks? I had applied this past June for an October separation, but again, like everyone else is seeing it was denied due to critical manning and time left on ADSC. Apologies if this is too off topic, but for those that have been approved how was TMO handled? My home of record is PA, and I'm looking to go to NY. That'll cover most of the way, but going out of pocket is bugging me. I've heard from everyone else that HOR can be changed, but when talking to the folks that can actually make the change, they say that the only way they can change it is if it was in error in the first place. I don't think I'd have much of a case after 12 years in, and being happy with a PA HOR. Any thoughts, tips, or tricks are welcome. Thanks again!
