Quick update; 1550 day before official release and I still have not received official notification of my non-selection. Maybe tomorrow morning?
Doubtful for tomorrow morning. I'd expect a call today/tonight. If you do somehow make it to public release without official notification, I'd say that's a positive sign for your chances. It's a pretty big breach of etiquette to let a non-select see the results without prior notification he/she didn't make it. Good luck man

Anyone know the odds of getting selected in first look for SDE? I gotta assume its incredibly low. But is it low enough where its pointless to even try?

Washington DC Metro area significant increases at the O-3 through O-5 levels.

This.
Unfortunately, some sort of PT test is necessary because there is a subset of people who would completely let themselves go if there was no accountability. Anecdotally, the one guy who I’ve been on patrols with downrange that couldn’t carry his own load was someone who had a history of failures and near failures. He also complained that he just wasn’t “suited” to the PT test. We don’t need marathon runners or bodybuilders, but I am a believer that some level of fitness is necessary.
I vote to leave the PT test alone (minus the waist measurement). It isn’t perfect, but it is simple and straightforward. The AF will find a way to mess it up if they overhaul it.
I agree. I'm a bigger dude. 6'1'' and 218 lbs and I do about a 3 month prep period for each PT test with a real strict 1 month diet rolling in to make sure I can get the waist points. Pushups, situps, 1.5 mile run and amazingly a lot of people of all shapes and sizes still fail. Such would be the case with any assessment. I think the components are fine and even as someone who doesn't max the waist every time, I'm fine with that too. Also people forget it was 2 minutes pushups, 2 minutes sit-ups, 2 mile run fairly recently. 1 minute, 1 minute, and 1.5 miles is an easier test. A lot of things in the AF could use an overhaul or a re-org. PFT prolly not one of them.

A RIF in 2021 would be politically disastrous for whoever okays that plan I would think. Has the government furloughed during COVID?
I started game planning in my mind what I'd do if they offered TERA in 2021. I'd be 2 years from 20 at that point and would lose 2 bonus payments. I gotta say, there aren't many great options.
Can you take TERA if you have an ADSC remaining?

The anti-vaxers not wanting to get vaccinated for COVID is the ending 2020 deserves. Bravo.

Is there any new info given the senate is moving forward with SCOTUS pick?
No new info but reasonable to expect a delay given the SCOTUS nomination and the election timing. However, SASC can "voice vote" whenever they please after President sends his concurrence over to the Senate....so it theoretically could happen at end of month. Often times, they'll voice vote last day of the month for large lists.

I supposedly pin on 1Nov....no way this list is approved by Senate by then, right? Anyone know ROE if Senate approves mid-Nov? First tranche of promotees pins on the next day or waits until 1st of the following month? First world problems i know...but want to get the folks in from out of town for a ceremony...which is difficult with no firm pin-on date.

My line number. It's in the 500+ range out of 555 for LAF-A. And since it's order of merit instead of date of rank...
Hey, a line number is a line number. Only reason it matters to me is I'm in DC and could use the cash. The rent is too damn high.

Promotion Increments for 1 Nov & 1 Dec are loaded to MyPers .... Officers Promotions --> (scroll down for) Increments to Lt Col
Well, that answers everyone's question about line numbers. You are ordered for pin-on based on merit within your functional category, and the pin-on increments are broken out by functional category accordingly. Makes sense -- would've been hard to order the entire list 1/n. Also, this table has the first pin-ons taking place 1Nov (Senate pending) so I would expect to see some line numbers popping up on VMPF very soon (couple days at most).

I don't think they did the entire list merit ordered. I was told a certain percentage was merit ordered then the rest was time in grade based. My line number is fairly low and I have APZ friends with lower numbers.

You already got your line number? Are they uploaded somewhere already?

Confirmed. Did not make. Great!
who’s the organization we bother at AFPC?
afpc/dp....
Sorry man -- that's baffling. Sadly on these Air Force boards there are always a handful every year that make zero sense.

Yes. It may take a couple of days. I checked too. They may be on first thing tomorrow morning.
Line number should also flow to MILPDS (and subsequently to your VMPF dashboard) 24-48 hours after public release. Will be interested to see if they implemented merit-based line numbers on this board....I know they said they were going to but who knows.

I already know my results (thank you to the grapevine), but my leadership has not contacted me in anyway to give me the same info. So about what I am used to!
Haven't scrolled back through to check so I hope I'm not intruding here but if you know you didn't get selected and your "leadership" allows you to check the list tomorrow and not see your name, then that is an epic failure and pisses me off. Too much of that going around in today's Air Force.

Looks legit. Wonder why they pulled it down. Unrelated, I'm nervous.

So just looking at the board status again (no update since 24 Sept), but it says it takes 18 work days to report into OSD, which would put that date at 5 Oct. looking at the other boards, the public release date was anywhere from 2-4 weeks after that date. Is it possible the results might not released until the 3rd week of October, at the earliest? or will they try to get them out sooner then that?
Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (P&R) is the approval authority for all promotion and special selection boards and the Secretary of Defense is the release authority for all promotion and special selection board. So the list is officially coordinated and APPROVED. The wait time now "should" NOT be until 3rd week of October as DEPSECDEF will coordinate with AFPC to release the results, probably next Thursday or the following Thursday (this is simply my guess. Hoping for next week.
