Holy shit guys. I know CSOs don't go to UPT. Did you read the post above mine? Apparently AFPC doesn't know the difference.

Apparently my sarcasm wasn't clear. I'll be more obvious. FSS Airman Snuffy to a CSO trying to separate: "This memo says CSOs have UPT commitments; Table 1.69 says UPT commitment is 10 years; therefore, you have to stay in." You know it'll happen in an FSS in a galaxy not far away.

Yep. But our tax is progressive, so not every dollar is taxed at the higher rate.

Several guys showed up at graduation with insta-families.

Oh, someone is getting bomb-ass cash from the GTC stranglehold, just not you or me.

They're at Delta with everyone else.

Man if I was convinced Tricare would be totally gone in 20 years when it's my turn to use it, I'd have 1 job tomorrow! The pension is not why I'm still occasionally wearing the uniform.

Really? That went away with nose art, squadron bars, and O clubs. We're way past heritage into the realm of corporate blob.

Do y'all really think if they want (not need) a C-17 EP Safety guy for a 365, and all of the eligibles have deployed for 46 days in the last 5 years, they're going to tell COCOM, "Sorry, Boss, you're going to have to learn to live without."? You're not out of any WEZ! This may postpone your 365 for a cycle, but it by no means changes anything. They just call it "short notice" and they can use "current timelines and processes."

Happened to me, and I still don't know what shady shit went down. Tasker came down, I was 4th in line behind 3 O-5s. They all dropped paperwork, I deployed. At least 1 of them was still in the Wing when I got home almost a year later.

I simply don't believe them.

The stack will be so short though that being at the bottom of it won't mean much, especially if the top-o-the-stack guys have top cover, or put in retirement paperwork to get skipped over (and then pull it back).

Here's a term you might as well learn now if you aren't already civilian payroll smart. https://www.patriotsoftware.com/payroll/training/blog/a-closer-look-at-imputed-income/

Don't worry Duck. He forgot Special Ops Fighter Pilot. That takes even higherer aptitude.

Figures. Det 6 has some public page briefings. Maybe there's something in there that will help. https://www.arpc.afrc.af.mil/HQRIO/Detachments/Detachment-6/ Scroll down to "RESOURCES" and open the "Force Development Briefings" menu. They've done a couple on Officer Promotions and they have slides called "How to Get Yourself Promoted."

Talk to your RIO Det. They should have a promotions office or someone at the Program Manager level that is smart on these things.

Man I hope it works out like that for you. My last deployed roommate was kinda like you.

If that's the case then unregard me.

I looked for more information than what's in the posted graphic, but didn't find the source document. Is this more complex than an A or B choice? From the graphic, I read the 11F AvB as either (A) $35K/yr for 7-9 years, or (B) $100K right now. If there's more to it, I'd love to see the actual options.

What odd assumptions? Without tax considerations, I didn't really make any assumptions. The growth rate is adjustable. I was just showing that the single upfront payment growth isn't enough to keep up with the smaller payments.

I think the payments option is almost always better. *Spreadsheet removed.

I knew I was second rate in Big Blue's eyes, but I at least thought you'd come save my ass!

Call it a TPF reenactment.
