Hey guys haven't been on here in a while. Wanted to pass some info and see if anyone has had any luck lately.
PC DENIED on 28 Jun 2016
Requested DOS: 1 Nov 2016 (18 months ADSC UPT remain) I also had some GI Bill transfer ADSC left, and a WIC ADSC (6months or so).
My package sat at SAF/PC right at 8 weeks.
Recommend Disapproval from Sq & WG CC, as well as C-17 Functional
I had a position number (Reserves) with an MFR from gaining Reserve OG/CC included in the submission.
AFSC: 11M (C-17)
I plan on submitting again right at 120 days, this time requesting 11 months worth of ADSC. Hopefully it gets approved this time.
I spoke with the C-17 Functional a week or 2 ago, and they recently change the "policy." He now has permission to recommend approval as long as you meet the 2/3 requirement. I guess that doesn't mean that he always will, but it is no longer only if you have less than 1 year remaining. He did say that this was just his office, not SAF/PC. I don't know if it is the same for all the other functionals. Sounds like this stuff changes fairly regularly.
Also not confirmed but I get the impression a lot of people get denied once before they get approved. Seems like the second time makes a difference, but that could just unrelated.
