Thank you for the advice. I'm not freaking out about it since I've been expecting this for a while based on my OPBs with no strats/awards. The year will pass either way so might as well do my best, I'd hate to be a quitter (no hate on people with different priorities). A lot of the boxes I'm trying to "check" (fitness, masters, IP) are personal goals anyway and it's just lucky they might make me more competitive on promotion boards. I do have about 3 years left on my ADSC so the difference in pay will run into the 5 figures, plus I'd like to say I left on my own terms rather than being forced out.

My PRF just came back and I'm ranked in the bottom 15% of officers in my wing eligible for Major. With a P and not a DP obviously. I assume this means I have essentially 0% chance of promotion to Major IPZ if they're willing to put it like that on paper. Does anyone think differently? Tangibles: LAF-A Aircraft commander in 2x MWS's, no IP experience SOS complete No negative info in my file (90+ on all PFAs, no discipline issues, no check ride failures, no long term DNIF, etc) No Masters. Just finished my 5th class for BAC+ but it didn't go into my PRF No awards or strats on any OPR 2x ASCM, have all the mid-tour/PCS decs that make sense Roles held, in reverse order: Shop chief, Shop chief, Asst Flt/CC, Asst Flt CC, OIC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gameplan for APZ board: Get the BAC+ in my records Finish the masters, (although sadly the degree won't be conferred until about 2 months after the cutoff date for the board) Get more hours and upgrade to IP ASAP Consider flight command if it's offered (will this help me? Will this be "regression" after shop chief?) Max the new PFA (personal goal, but it probably won't hurt me with the new boss's focus on fitness) Do these goals make sense? Are any of them a waste of time? Anything else I need to do to improve my chances?
