[FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)]

VSP Approved

C-17 guy currently at the end of a gig at a UPT base

DOS 29 September

Was tasked with a 179 day deployment on 28 April, long after I had applied for VSP. When I originally got approved the VSP I was told I was off the hook for the deployment. Now, I am being told to keep spinning up for the deployment. FWIW, I have separation orders in my possession with the 29 September DOS. The deployment would get me back in February. Is there anyone else who is in a similar situation? Pretty sure this belongs in the WTF thread.

Thanks BODN for keeping me sane during this process, hopefully sanity will prevail here.

Exact same boat here my friend. I even submitted a ticket w/TFSC in early May (before my VSP was adjudicated) asking if I needed to update my requested DOS (29 Sep) to after the deployment -the answer was "no, we'll do that if we need to when we process your application".

FNG to the forum but thanks for this thread. Its kept me somewhat tethered to sanity throughout this process.

VSP approved with a catch..

03 62E

2 month Adv flying training ADSC waived

Got tagged to deploy several months after applying for VSP in Feb, now the DOS they approved me with today is during my upcoming deployment
