    Information on PCS/moves/moving (DITY, TMO, DLA, storage)

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by tunes

    Just filed my partial ppm voucher for my separation move and tmo said gas and tolls are no longer an authorized expense to bring down the taxes on the payout and per diem is supposed to cover gas and tolls....is that true? And they said I don't even get a copy of my filed voucher to see how much I will be paid and they turn them in every Thursday to finance. Said the only way to find out how much I Will get paid is to call finance......when I pcsd last year I knew what I was getting before I left tmo and Gas/tolls were counted as moving expenses....has that much changed or are they jerking me around?

    "Those receiving this e-mail are either potentially eligible to enter into an ARP Agreement or may know of aviators who could be eligible but haven't entered into an Agreement as of this date."

    Really? Sounds like a cry for help, I've got 4 years left on my ADSC so obviously they're hoping I spread the word. To anyone who is eligible for ARP but hasn't entered an agreement, I have one word for you: run.

    I VSP'd and separate in 3 weeks and I got the email

    Just got my AMEX platinum. They were very non-committal as to whether they would waive the fee or not. Before getting the card they told me my account "would be evaluated". After getting the card they asked for the date I entered active duty and any deployment dates. When I didn't have that all readily available they said they would just use my social security number to "evaluate my account which could take up to 60 days". Less than 48 hours later I got the e-mail saying they were waiving they annual fee among other things.

    Two questions for anyone here... First, I know at least one person said they had gotten reimbursed the $200 on a Delta gift certificate. Has anyone else done this? I'm not flying anywhere this year so it would be great to take advantage of that to essentially double dip next year. Second, has anyone gotten the fee waived on the Amex Platinum Delta Skymiles card or Reserve Delta Skymiles card?

    I buy american gift cards with mine...delta gift cards are too hard to redeem. And yes to your other question also. I have many personal and a few business cards and all have fees waived.

    resurrecting the thread...seems AFPC/MPF still have no clue whats going on. Spent an hour this morning trying to get my IRR/TAMP cards since I couldn't get them at my last base since I went on terminal > 90 days from separation. Spent an hour with the guy and then his supervisor and wouldnt budge on giving me the TAMP card even though I was quoting Title 10 to them where it said i got it even if I VSP'd and palace fronted....Still no IRR card..they told me to come back AFTER my separation date to get that....couldn't handle any more incompetence for the day.

    edit: I did get my TAMP card after convincing them that my 1288 for my Palace Front was an agreement to join the reserves

    Palace front here....my biggest issue is getting scrolled. I was added to the scroll list in may and the ISR at my last base (on terminal now) still is saying he doesn't know if my scroll will happen by my 29 sep DOS and says it might be Oct or Nov.....yet other guys I know are added after and already scrolled.....

    1 x 06, 2 x 07, and 1 x 08 11R's applied at JSTARS and all four were denied in the FY14 VSP yet all three year groups indicated an overage. The only 11R's I know of that were approved for the FY14 VSP were MC-12 guys although the updated matrix still indicates a significant overage in 11R's in those year groups so all four of us reapplied and are keeping hope that the answer will be different for the FY15 VSP.

    I'm hoping that they wanted to get through all of the MC-12 guys first being that the airframe is going away and once they have exhausted all of the MC-12 VSP's they know they will eventually need to send the MC-12 guys who stayed in to places like JSTARS so they will go ahead and allow 11R's like JSTARS guys out because they know they will need open slots to send the MC-12 guys who wanted to stay in to. Unfortunately that makes sense so AFPC will do the total opposite.

    I was one of the mc12 guys approved in fy14...our afsc was 11r but our rdtm was still from our previous mws....so not sure how afpc made the distinction

    So I figured if you had a separation date of 31 Dec and start terminal in early December, you would receive your VSP payment with EOM pay in December. Am I completely wrong in that? In the long shot that I'm approved, I was hoping to get an extension in order to push the payment into the next tax year, but if that's going to happen anyway I think I would rethink that.

    At the finance brief they said you would receive two separate payments. 1 your final paycheck and 2 the vsp money. Nlt 45 days after separation date

    Anyone able to confirm if 2005 11M is VSP eligible this go around? Didn't see the new PSDM by the time I left work. I know this year group got slashed, but wasn't sure if there are more cuts to be made.

    i dont think they are eligible. latest matrix had up to but not including 06 year group closed off iirc

    I'm waiting for the FY15 hireback program to come out when the realize they are in dire need of certain AFSCs that they eliminated with VSP/TERA. C-17 IPs supposedly are one such field.

    with a return to previous MAF airframe and guaranteed no deployments (Like all the Lt Col's got a few years back) i'd do it

    and best of luck to you all in the FY15 VSP
