    Are the DP allocations at the student MLRs the same as the SR/conventional MLR route? 

    I think the DPs are still given out by your previous SR.    so in turn you hit the board with 2 PRFs.   Your narrative from when you PCS'd to school..... and a blank PRF from your losing unit's SR that has a P/DP on it.

      or maybe the P/DP comes from the school MLR?   I could have heard wrong.

    Anybody know what the O-5 select rate is for people at in-res IDE with a "P" for IPZ?  The AF promotion statistics website details stats for DP and P, but doesn't break anything out by the student MLR vs. the normal SR/MLR route.  Since the past few boards have had IDE method and AAD masked, does anybody have a feel for what the past couple of boards have done?

    I think the answer is simple, but I don't run things

     

    no one should be writing DNP letters because there should be no way that 2 times passed over automatically relinquished you from your ADSC

     

    on the flip side, there should be an option up to AFPC to cut chalks due to extenuating family emergency circumstances, especially when willing to transfer any service commitments to reserves.

    I agree with lear

     

      Being bitter is not a reason to get out of a service commitment.   And if allowed, would ultimately lead to more

     

    ducks snap letter and wanting out is medical/family related and should be considered.    Realistically, his wing should be taking care of him, but have not.

     

    duck wants to stay in the reserves even.... doesn't seem right in his case considering the circumstances.

    Is the spreadsheet with these numbers in it not out yet?

     

    i think it's an effective 84.6 rate for the IPZ guys

    there was probably a larger % of APZ than in past years being that this was the 2nd year the board didn't care what zone you were in

     

    Last year would have been higher, but no one knew to submit filled out prfs

    The quick answer is there is Nothing you can do to get VSPd.   You can put up basically the same PRF and get non selected a second time but whether or not you get VSPd or continued is based on "needs of the Air Force".   And I bet you'd get continued anyhow

    and if you want to retire from reserves then my understanding is the first checks from your retirement will be paid back to Uncle Sam to make up for your separation of.  So if you get the sep pay, then invest it wisely and you'll get to keep the interest basically.

    I'm taking a group tdy out to Nellis for a couple weeks, and having some issues with lodging...  DTS sent us a non-a letter for lodging, but the head of the lodging (who is a civilian contractor) is telling me we have to stay at one of the hotels they have a contract with. I found a hotel we'd rather stay at for the per diem rate (aka not ghetto and full of roaches), but he says it isn't one of their "contracted" hotels so we can't stay there.

     

    Any time I've gotten a non-a I've been allowed to stay where I want, the base can just recommend places they have lower rates with. Has that changed? If not, anyone have luck getting around the lodging office?

    Again, if you are only going for a couple of weeks (usually means 2).  Then this TdY is less than 30 days.  In that case, only actuall should be reimbursed. 

     

     The long term flat rate lodging only applies to 30-180 days : 75%.   Or 180+ days: 55%

     

    for long term tdys, receipts are not needed for matching, but rather proof that costs were incurred

     

    but slys TDY seems to be shorter than 30 days

    Alright, I'm asking a question that is beating a dead horse... But here we go. At Altus, currently the Finance office has stated the standard interpretations of Para 4250 is incorrect. The interpretation that many of us have had is the flat rate is yours regardless of lodging costs. If you have a non-a, flat rate is $105 a day, besides the official days of travel do you not just get $105, regardless of lodging costs? I understood this to be the entire point of the flat rate, being that it motivated the member to find cheaper lodging. Some individuals in our class have lodging for less than $60/day and planned it that way accordingly. Any finance folks on here, or people who think they understand this better, care to clarify?

    pretty sure that you NEVER get to keep the extra lodging allotment.   MI&E, yes.    lodging, no.   if DTS is being handled correctly you will need a receipt for all lodging, and in turn you need to change your expenses portion for lodging from $105 / night to the actuals.

       anything else and you risk getting audited/in trouble.

     

    the only time that flat rate lodging is allowed (and you keep the difference) is when you are getting a 55% rate (due to being TDY over 180 days)
