Just called AFPC Palace Chase office this afternoon. They just received a bunch of notifications from SAF/PC today and are getting ready to send out emails. In my case, my submission was denied. Asked for 6 months off with an intent to hire letter from collocated reserve squadron unit on same aircraft. No negative detractors. WG/CC and AFPC functional recommended disapproval due to 11R instructor manning (E-3 pilots are otherwise overmanned at Tinker). SQ/CC and Palace Chase office recommended approval. SAF/PC denied. Better luck to the rest of you!

Thanks! My submission reached SAF/PC on Feb 24 so I spoke to someone friendly at the Palace Chase office who told me that my submission had been "boarded" on Mar 15 and is still awaiting a decision and signature from SAF/PC that typically takes 2 weeks to receive back. Obviously, it's been over a month now. She said hopefully they should get that decision this week but I didn't sense any confidence that would necessarily happen. As soon as they receive that, the office sends out a myPers email.

My request has been sitting with SAF/PC since Feb 24. Asking 6 mos off for Aug 1 DOS with Jun 5 terminal. Both WG/CC and 11R Functional recommended disapproval. How/who do you get in touch with to see if the board has given "tentative approval" or if it's rerouted to this new TFAM board. I'll take a 90% solution at this point to begin prepping for my transition.
