Odd situation/possible low SA on my part at the time:
As a CSO with an expired CSO ADSC, I was eligible for the ACP that dropped late September/Early Oct of 18. However, well before that bonus was announced, I was picked up for pilot training. While processing my PCS orders, MPF/TFSC told me that in order to receive those orders to UPT, I had to sign an ADSC stating that if I completed pilot training, I would owe 10 years. Well, I went ahead and signed that, and they tacked on a 10 year UPT ADSC effective on the day I signed it, well before I ever left my pre-UPT assignment.
So, months later, when the time came to apply for the bonus, it was of course denied because I had an existing (erroneous) UPT ADSC. This was 8 months before UPT graduation. In fact at the time I was too busy getting my shit pushed in in T-6's to bother trying to fix the ADSC issue. Once I graduated UPT, that 10 year ADSC was updated to reflect my grad date.
I'm missing out on $225k of pre-tax bonus here, so does anyone think I have a chance of getting this resolved in my favor? Do I open a case with AFPC, Finance, Legal, IG? Lawyer up? Or do I just STFU and enjoy my window seat?
I was in the same situation, applied for the Nav bonus after talking to AFPC. I was at the end of my T-38C time in UPT. They said I was eligible so I submitted my paperwork and it got approved. Now I just have to live in fear for the rest of my time in the Air Force... I tried to be as clear as possible to make sure they new my situation and was still told to submit the paperwork. I would definitely make some calls.
