My unit has been lining guys up on a downrange trip first, then they go down and sign the paperwork. It sounds like that was worked out well so far.
For some reason it just got turned off at my sq. Other units still getting the DSG bonus? I’m kinda pissed because I have less than a year of eligibility left.

Less than 15 years time in service.
How do they know when it will pay out? I’d go down range for that.

I failed depth perception at MEPS. Didn’t even know at the time. Passed at FC1 and was never even an issue after that.

If you have to join a C-17 unit and they don’t want you maybe Try joining the unit in a less competitive position and get a UPT slot with waiver from within?

Probably could live on base since there's lots of openings lately but why would you want to? Call the hickam housing office to check availability. Traffic is still shitty on H1/H2. Dont expect it to get any better even if they finish the rail

Even if you did find a job that allowed you to do some flying I'd fully expect the bait and switch. They have no spare manning on staff to let you go fly. Everyone else there would be bitter seeing you go on a "vacation" outside the office all the time. They want your ass at the bottom of the boat rowing like a good staff officer.

Has anyone gotten any updates on the Palace Chase packages recently? I'm sitting at 16 weeks now at SAF/PC and haven't heard anything. My ISR says she has other packages that are waiting review at SAF/PC as well.
Both ISR and AFPC say they can't get updates from SAF/PC. I let my chain of command know a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything. Are they any other avenues to get some update?
i had to wait about 4 months for SAF/PC to review my app. nobody could give me an update
-
Approved. 6 months PCS ADSC, recommended approval at all levels with intent to hire letter. 15 Weeks at SAF/PC. They emailed me as soon as it went through. I appreciate all the info.
Now to wait for the 1288 to finish routing and the guard to gain me.

Asked for 4 months off UPT with just under 365 days to GI bill to reserves, with approvals all the way up so far and a letter of intent to hire.
Not conifdent in the "approval" though. It was the standard friend of a friend of a friend.
ISR called AFPC contact who called SAF/PC contact and relayed back, but I feel it's as "that one will get approved with all the supporting info".
Its aggravating that the new process went from somewhat streamlined of 1-5 weeks to now 12-16 weeks.
-
any recent approvals? AFPC is now saying 8-12 weeks at SAF/PC.. after 12 weeks I'm guessing they will just say 12-16 weeks and stop calling
-
Mine has been at SAF/PC since 18 Apr.. AFPC is telling me expect 6-8 weeks at SAF/PC but I feel like that's just a guess.
-
Approved for the 2nd time. What a clown show.
Congrats!! How long was your app at SAF/PC?

I wonder.. if you get non-vold to AFPAK and and failed every part of the training what would they do with you?
I guess you could also fail your PT test a few times too.
-
Total Force board? WTH? is this just another layer of bureaucracy at AFPC? I wonder if they are just going to rubberstamp the functional's recommendation or look at some other factors... how frustrating
-
anyone get an approval lately? Looking to see how long I should expect my app to sit with SAF.

Drive that lemon into the ground. Tell her to start saving so she can buy a replacement cash. Paying interest is for chumps.

Do we have any contract officers on this board that can shine some light on the contract creation process and why it always seems to suck?
I'm not a contracting officer but I have participated in the process. From what I've seen, LookieRookie nailed it. Companies know how to game the system and it's a race to the bottom for the lowest cost technically acceptable contracts. Company owners make a shitload of profit, workers get paid peanuts and/or are under-qualified and the service to the AF sucks balls. They get away with it because the contracting officers reps don't want to write the company up because they are too busy with their other additional duties and the contracting officer doesn't want to deal with the pissed company fighting a bad rating.

Which reg did you cite? The note in the ADSC reg that says "No advanced flying training will extend your commitment beyond 10 years of rated service"? That's the one I would use even for a PIT commitment.

that's the one

Everyone says that, except the C-17v1 and the course info on the ETCA site for AC & IP re-qual say otherwise. Anything other than a local requal incurs a 36 month ADSC. Maybe they don't enforce it, who knows, but I won't take my chances.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkAFPC removed my ADSC for C-17 IP Requal so you should be good. I just cited their own regs and it worked like a charm.

so i just got word that I got selected for IDE. Anyone know where the rules are posted for accepting school, 7 day opt, etc? I read PSDM 16-10 but I couldn't figure out if I could see which school I got then decide to 7-day opt after if I didn't want it. I'm guessing no.

Hey guys, Here's that PSD Guide from 27 Jan 16. Seems like the palace chase AFI is the law and this is the playbook.
thanks that was really useful
-
So if your ADSC date (PCS OCONUS 3 year) coincides with your DEROS, when can you apply for palace chase? I heard you can only get out 6 months early from your ADSC/DEROS and will need to apply for PC 6 months prior to your proposed separation. Hard to believe you can't get out any earlier than 6 months just because your are OCONUS. True statement?

Absolutely spot-on. I have heard from many RPA pilots that the job is intrinsically rewarding work.
The part that involves pulling a trigger is rewarding.. the other 99.999% of the shit you have to do makes you want to separate from the AF ASAP.

Thanks. Yeah I'm aware of the challenges on place-finding & schools. I think we may go private for the kiddo so we're not further limited by getting the place with the right school assignment - then we'll just attack whatever we can find on craigslist as soon as we hit the island. And I know we won't be saving a ton of money going off base either. What can you do.
Was seeking more on the lifestyle in the area. From looking at Kailua and hearing from friends who have lived there, I picture it as laid back, lots of BBQing out back and trips into town for the beaches & coffee & brews… Is that close?zb
That pretty much describes all of Hawaii. It's island life brah. Just make sure you find a place with a decent yard. The windward side is nice because it stays a little bit cooler than the leeward side due to the trade winds.
Also keep traffic in mind. You can take the H3 from Kailua/K-bay which makes for about a 30 min commute to/from Hickam. If you try to live Eva/Kapolei/Hawaii Kai/N. Shore you're looking at an hour+ commute each way. Mililani is central to everything and has much more affordable housing.

I put my paperwork in Sep and it was paid out in late Nov. I was the only guy eligible in my sq which was bullshit but whatever. While I was waiting to get paid out I asked a guy in my sq who just came back from a stat tour to ask the POC at NGB who is responsible for these bonuses to see if he could get any info but no luck. They just said to follow up with the base FSS POC that handles these bonuses which is the recruiter that processed my bonus paperwork. In the end I just waited 3 months until the recruiter called me back with news that the bonus would pay out 1 week later.
