Yeah, it was posted on the 17th, but the "Updated as of" is 15 April. The very day TERA window opened. The screwed up part is TERA originally opened before VSP. I thought for sure I'd get it because my prior E time drove me past 18 years. Others in my year group ('01 11M) wouldn't be eligible without the E time. So screwed up!

TERA officially rejected today due to all the 11Ms turning red the day TERA phase III opened up. YCMTSU Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

What a shit show! I guess I'll take my additional $75K in bonus money AND an extra $1K/month more in retirement and dance with Big Blue just a little while longer.... Bye, bye TERA!!! Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

And us TERA guys get F%CKED again!!!! The waiver matrix says updated 15 Apr. THE VERY DAY TERA OPENED UP! Not sure if you understand how retirement works, but you have to check eligibility first. I applied first thing on the 15th only to be told it will take 10 business days to determine my eligibility under TERA. If eligible, then you can actually apply. Now that the matrix went red for my yr group...... Applied on day one for the 1st round of TERA only to be told "no" due to ACP....then they change the rules...AFTER the TERA window closed! Then all the VSP guys get to play under the new rules while we TERA guys get hosed! I'm so happy for those that got VSP, I just think we TERA guys "took one for the team!" So disappointed in how the AF played this game. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

TERA Phase III window is open today...must apply via vMPF. Anyone care to guess the status of vMPF? Again, YCMTSU!!!! EDIT: As of 1345Z vMPF is up and running again. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Did AFPC work today. The end of the week is today for those PSDMs...no worries, they just changed the verbiage to "will be coming" YCMTSU!!!! Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

The TERA purse is the exact same purse as all military retired personnel. There is absolutely no difference between the early retired and 20 years retired except the % of pay. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

I'm happy for all the VSP approved folks, so don't take this the wrong way, but... When the new ADSC waiver table was posted, they should've paused everything and made everyone that had submitted VSP paperwork fall under the previous waiver criteria. Again, I'm glad people are getting good news. BUT I'm gonna be super pissed if my yr/AFSC goes red because new ADSC waivers are getting approved on the VSP side preventing me from re-applying for TERA under those same new rules. Totally blows they post new ADSC waiver criteria after TERA closed giving us no options to-reapply while VSPs are getting processed and approved against the new waiver table. Thus, potentially reducing or eliminating our yr/AFSC while us TERA guys sit on the sidelines and watch. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

I hear ya! I applied 1 minute after the TERA window opened only to find out they denied my app due to ACP. That was very frustrating because the PSDM wasn't clear on that issue. Then they made a "revision" to the guidance after the fact to validate my denial. AWESOME!!! Now I'm reading on AF Times and the Portal a 2nd round of TERA will be opening soon. The only reason I'm even aware those articles existed is because a buddy of mine mentioned he'd see it on FB. To this date, nobody in my chain has sent a single shred of info about the new ADSC waiver table or that a new TERA will be available soon. I hope this isn't a short coming of my wing leadership, I suspect they don't know about it. How is this possible? When is the official 'transparent' notice through official channels forthcoming? As we've seen, people are getting orders, TDY notices, etc., and may or may not know additional options are coming. Why is the AF Times and the Portal the only news about a new round of TERA? Perhaps you guys are getting something...not me. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Wish AFPC would release the new PSDM about the next round of TERA. Anyone have any gouge/specific info about this? Been hearing 15 Apr, but I haven't read anything to support that theory. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Where is the AFPC release about 15 April found? I tried to TERA 1 minute after the window opened. Due to my ACP, they said no. I argued via myPERS because the original PSDM wasn't specific and stated any unearned portion of retention bonuses must be recouped. AFPC escalated my case to the GS1000 making the decisions (policy section) and they still said no. The AF was kind enough to update the PSDM a few days later. It's so nice having 18 revisions of the PSDMs during the application window. Anyways, I'm "now" eligible for round 2 of TERA but myPERS didn't have anything new posted as of 3:30pm EST. Thanks for any info you can provide. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!

Any idea when the 2nd round of TERA begins? Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
