For those who did an Initial bonus contract this FY, when did you receive your first payment relative to your contract "effective date"?

Seems correct, but it also sounds like a CEA should normally end before 48 months. 6.2.4.5. Rated officers (except flight surgeons) on active AOs may continue to receive AvIP while assigned to the following assignments: 6.2.4.5.1. A joint assignment or position on the joint duty assignment list. 6.2.4.5.2. Attending resident professional military education or a fully funded graduate education program authorized by the Secretary of the Air Force. 6.2.4.5.3. Non-flying positions that require rated expertise. 6.2.4.5.4. Career-enhancing assignments outside of aviation service that does not require rated expertise or performance of in-flight duties for a period not to exceed 48- consecutive months. If a member is in a career-enhancing assignment for more than 48-consecutive months in accordance with DoDI 7730.67, HARM offices must assign ASC ‘04’ until the member is assigned to a position that either requires rated expertise or performance of in-flight duties..............The servicing HARM office will utilize ARMS and ad hoc reports to track a member assigned FSC “V” to ensure continuous AvIP is stopped when the member exceeds 48-consecutive months in the FSC “V” status. (T-1)

I have an ADSC out to 20 years. I was planning on signing the bonus today. I logged in this morning to see that the window closed at 1630 CDT last night. "Surprise, fvcker!" My UPT ADSC is up soon and I could've been free from these games. I regret choosing to stay in the AF.

The myFSS page is updated.

"Significant changes to the FY23 Legacy AvB Program include an increase in the monetary cap from $35,000 per year up to $50,000 per year for eligible officers." I wasn't expecting legacy to get up to 50k. Not terrible. I'm curious which shreds will get it, guess we have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

I don't see anywhere to sign it yet for AD FY 23. Maybe I'm looking the wrong spot. Last update on the myFSS page is 21 March with no useful info on there.

I'm in the same boat. Maybe the $35k cap would apply to guys like us under 37 U.S. Code § 334, and there will be a separate pool of eligibles for the "demonstration program" that goes up to $50k? Who knows.

Draft says: " (b) Rated Officers Described.--Rated officers... (2) who have not more than three years and not less than one year remaining on an active duty service obligation under section 653 of title 10, United States Code." But 37 U.S. Code § 334 says eligibility is based on if the officer: "has completed any active duty service commitment incurred for undergraduate aviator training or is within one year of completing such commitment;" I wonder if eligibility is expanding in order to lock people in earlier? And with the 1-year verbiage differing between the two, I wonder what this all means for FY23 eligibles that would be at <1 year left on the ADSC if this takes effect for the AvB program early next year.
