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

Who's up for a FY14 force management discussion forum reunion in 10 years? I vote chizz as the forum president!!

Did anyone else get an email saying they needed attachment 3 from psdm 14-08 for further application processing?

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

Seriously jug head, lighten up. We are are all so proud of you that you paid attention in class. Go back to your lab. Well said chizz!

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

Thank God indeed, Cornholio. I have stared at that email for 40 mins now making sure it wasn't recalled. Yes I had adsc left. Praying that all of you guys get good news.

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

Guys, no joke, just got the approval email. Vsp approved

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

Fbomb, if he or someone from his office calls I will correct the error.

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

Appreciate the help, but it is irrelevant at this point.

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

Thanks Fbomb, I could care less at this point. You must be a wing exec or something.

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

That a boy, tmq! I will try to do the same today.

Congressman ### (or appointed reader),

I am currently serving in the USAF and stationed at ### AFB. The reason I am writing is to speak to Cong. Xxxx about fraud, waste, and abuse in the USAF, specifically within the major command of Air Force Personnel Command. Additionally, I would like to speak to him about the level of incompetence and mismanagement within this organization. Basically, back in Jan/Feb of this year, the USAF said it needed to cut people to meet congressionally mandated force management cuts. One avenue to make this happen was to ask for volunteers to accept early separation with pay, also known as VSP (voluntary separation with pay). It is now mid-May and I still have not been told whether or not I am approved. This is most frustrating because it directly affects my wife and kids because we cannot plan out our future past This summer. What are the chances of a congressional inquiry/investigation into this matter? I am happy to discuss this matter more over the phone.

Btw, those of you who have not done so, read John Q Public's entry on the "every dollar counts" campaign. On that note, perhaps an idea should be to lose afpc and outsource their less than marginal services to a private consulting firm. Or for that matter, challenge a graduate class(es) at a university to do their work for them. I would bet the job could be done not only more efficiently but also effectively while simultaneously saving money(since that is most important these days).

Love the acronym lumbergh. You don't know how long I stat up at night thinking of something that afpc could stand for

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

Standby and I'll get you a copy...

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

Fly6584, fantastic job. Thanks for writing your congressman. Let us know if you hear anything. I heard afpc is having sapr down WEEK.

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

Highly doubtful we will hear anything today.

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

3holer, that is a true story. Fantastic job afpc!

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

Is anybody else an '03 11M still waiting on vsp results? Heck, is anyone a 03 11M who was approved vsp or PC for that matter? Ground control to Major Tom? Tell me there is an 03 11M with some good news.

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

Love the politiboro reference, Cornholio. Unreal that the majcom/cc you referred to said that. Perfect example of these flag officers protecting themselves and each other.

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

That would be nice mish hacker, but they have had plenty of opportunities to be transparent with us. Time for checks and balances

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

Fantastic article! Forward this to your families, friends, news organizations, congressmen, etc. it's time for a congressional investigation into this nonsense. Thank you TC for being a discernible voice among us.

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

And what's at the end of next week? Memorial Day weekend. Afpc will for shizzle push it off to the week after. Here's to another 7 days of anxiety!!!

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

Lumbergh, thank you for providing me with some documentation to give my US representative later today. Enough is enough folks. It is time for afpc to answer to the taxpayers. How many lives have to be hung in the balance while afpc sweeps this crap under the rug? You all know we deserve better.

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

Top tier work at afpc, huh chizz? Btw, I'm sure everyone has read the SECAFs email? "Make every dollar count: all in, all the time." Huh?? What a propoganda campaign. When is she going to realize how much money has been wasted for this entire Force Management debacle? On the bright side, only 28 days until the World Cup!!

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

No offense meant to reference ground, but I think it would serve all of us well if we stopped putting stock in what sq/cc's are hearing. Mind you that wing commanders have no power in this buffoonery. My buddy's sq/cc told him that 14 May was the day we would get results and that day has come and gone. So much disappointment.

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

Completely echo chizz's questions. I would consider pulling my vsP app and submitting just for vs. I am so tired of this garbage known as afpc. Maybe the heart bleed virus got to their antiquated information systems. I wonder if the members of afpc slap a quote such as "conduct personnel matters like a champ today" when they walk in the doorway to that awful place.

Does anyone know if macdill has reserve pilot slots in the DV (C37) sq? Also are there reserve king air's at macdill? I'm an 11M trying to explore PC options for when my vsp app is denied

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

Any other 2003 11Ms out there who are still waiting for vsp notification? Don't know if I should be somewhat optimistic or realistic that my denial has just not been sent yet.
