    Ok...bit of a different spin. Regarding eosinophilic esophagitis:

    1.) does this diagnosis (and subsequent treatment) require a waiver?

    2,) does be use of Flovent WRT treatment require a waiver?

    For background, O-5 recently diagnosed...been flying a long time!

    Agree w/Royal...downtown St Pete is a great place and the commute is much less painful than the folks in Brandon have. I'm in Tierra Verde on the south side of St Pete and it takes me 30 min to get to CENTCOM. Lots of "on the water" options over here if your into that.

    Albert Whitted has a great restaurant right on the field, and downtown writ large has great food/booze options.

    I will retire here....someday!

    Holy thread merge...thought I accidentally logged into the APC forum. Regarding the bonus, anybody know anybody at SAF/FMB (Budget)? That where this thing is stuck right now.

    Whats funny about this year is it's impossible to get the ARP/ACP guy to provide any gouge...he's locked up tighter than the panties on a Saudi chick. Even caveats his email with "as a contract agent, I am unable to discuss any speculations regarding future proposals" up front.

    I'd like to know the answer to this question too... If they want guys to sign the bonus then it should be for the FY starting 1 Oct. It's not their fault they couldn't get their shit together 9 months into the FY. For guys who are prior service or late to rate this could be a factor where it puts them past 20 yrs. Not sure what the rules will be this year, but another whole can of worms is the guys who were passed over for O-5 and continued to 20... who have to get out at 20! Will they not be eligible if as of this past Oct 1 they only had 4 1/2 yrs left to hit 20?

    The first part of your response is precisely why I’m throwing this question out. I'm late rated, UPT commitment complete 3 Oct 12, 16 years in as of this Friday . In my small brain, should the program be the same as years past, my new ADSC would reflect 3 Oct 17. That would already take me 6 mo. past 20....the longer they hold off releasing the program details will most definitely affect my decision on staying to what would now be 21 years (especially with a pending summer PCS).

    Here’s a question…if they keep holding the release of this thing up, does the date you sign drive the hack for your five year payback (assuming this FY program is operating under the same rules as last FY)?

    Seems a bit shady that a program you should be able to sign up for 1 Oct is not available till 6 - 9 months later (and you pay for it by incurring an additional 6 – 9 month commitment waiting for program release).

    Thoughts?
