I found out via email, not any other source, but I've been on leave and didn't check anything other than my mil email.

2004 11M Approved! Feb '16 ADSC for UPT March '16 ADSC for GI bill Oct '15 ADSC for PCS Good luck everyone!!!

Congrats on the approvals! My tweet must have worked. Haha, seriously though, that's great.

I like all the efforts to engage our elected representatives. And, just to make sure this really works, I tweeted the article to Gen Welsh. That should get this whole thing tied up with a bow...

It's good to hear that so many people are actually doing what they can, however little that may be. Let's hope our efforts are worth more than a poke in the eye. Let's be fair, SAPR week is not really the whole week. It starts Wednesday, Wingman day on Thursday, AETC down day on Friday, Holiday on Monday. See, they'll be getting stuff done...

This forum has been the best. It is definitely the best source of actual information out there for us to satiate our addiction to community suffering brought on by AFPC. That being said, if all we are doing is checking the forum a hundred times a day hoping that something good will happen, or that somebody who "isn't as busy as we are" is going to do something about it, then we are missing out on a tremendous opportunity to actually bring about some change. Or at least some awareness. I hope most of us are constantly chirping in our chains of command's ears about the unsatisfactory answers coming out of AFPC, and the general lack of accountability. I don't mean we should be whining, but we ought to be the "assertive followers" the AF wants us to be and to be continually informing our leadership that the system is failing us. If every single one of us were to do even small things, as a community, it may have some results. Even something as simple as taking personal ORM points for each sortie for "VSP uncertainty" may eventually raise some greater amount of awareness, (not to mention, be a good way to highlight how stupid the ORM program is...what a CYA joke the AF has turned that into). This debacle is embarrassing. I've given the renters in my other property every single deadline AFPC has given me for whether or not I'll be renewing their lease, or moving back in myself. And every time I have to tell them a new deadline I am embarrassed on the AF's behalf. How is it possible that we can brag about putting "bombs on target, on time," when we can't meet a ridiculously simple deadline that WE GIVE OURSELVES. Even though I was leaving, I was at least planning on talking the AF up as a good career choice to young men and women, but I find it pretty hard to defend right now. This has basically become a game of whack bat. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IjTuypwXFOg
