Judging by all the fielded calls we're handled these past two weeks asking about Reserve employment, I'm convinced you fuckers are gonna crash MyPers when that window opens up. Gonna make the healtcare.gov website look like Fiber Optic Broadband by comparison. Welcome back to 1992 everybody.

A few weeks ago I made a statement to a room full of senior AF leaders that we were making a big mistake paying contractors and civilians to fix and fly aircraft in combat while we keep active duty su

I'll bite, although I feel as though my response would fall on deaf ears. I have thought about this question for many years (I'm not just about to pin on Capt) and have come to quite a few answers to

It's good to hear that you won't let this setback keep you from providing the level of support we've come to expect from finance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm just waiting for them to decide 11Ms really aren't eligible...

Talked to AFPC this afternoon. If you submitted anything early, the application will get invalidated. Also, she said to apply tomorrow anyway even though the email they just sent out says the window will open later. My CC inquired and said to wait to apply until the official window opens based on what he has been told. Unf-ing believable...

define submitted? sent to AFPC? sent to your CC? I just find it hard to believe multiple base MPSs said it's ok to submit early and they wouldnt send them til the window opened.

So the TERA window opens on the 14th (tomorrow)… does that mean at 0001 on the 14th… 0900 CST on the 14th… whenever some shoe at AFPC decides to hit "enter" on his computer to open it up on the 14th???

Was told 0001 EST when I asked the question.

this was sent out by our CC today:

Officers,

The Voluntary Separation Pay, Reduction in Force and Force Shaping Boards are being revised at AFPC and have been placed on hold. The new window for application to AFPC is 'to be determined'. If you intend to apply for VSP, I encourage you to build your package and submit it to me as soon as possible. I will review the case and hold it awaiting further guidance from AFPC.
I am in contact with the other commanders on base multiple times daily regarding the Force Management Programs. We are forwarding our issues and concerns through the chain of command to AFPC, and will continue to do so over for duration of the drawdown.
Keep your head in the mission. You do important work.

So I just tried to submit my TERA application but only got as far as the "eligibility check."

According to the psdm which was just updated yesterday that's apparently all that can be done but it seems to me that if they wanted us to apply on 14 Jan these eligibility checks could have been done weeks ago

Am I missing something?

Wow... so after AFPC decided who is eligible for TERA and then notifies the Commanders and the individuals that they are eligible for TERA and RIF (Merry Christmas), when you hit the "check retirement eligibility" button you get a message saying that AFPC needs to check if you are eligible and wiill get back to you in 10 days??? Yeah, looks like this is starting off well... I have every confidence that this will be a very smooth process for all involved!

How many people do you think will get OPR Bullets / promoted for managing this process? I put the over/under at 3 stars, two eagles, 38 stripes, and 17 oak leafs.

Unbelievable. I would seriously like to know how things work up at AFPC. Hamsters? Darts? Ouija Board? Peyote spirits?

Anyone have any insights into the newly enhanced E-SERB? I guess it's limited now to certain career fields TBD?

Anyone else hearing rumblings that with the new budget released today that puts us back at pre-sequester levels, that this whole thing might be a big joke?

Are you being serious? Because that would be the icing on this cake of awesomeness

Someone commented on thePortal that when the SECAF gave her town-hall speech on AF portal she mentioned the 25K reduction. Not to mention she testified on capital hill the the AF is going to be getting smaller over the next ten years.

During our mass brief last week our 3 star said that even if/when our funding is hunky-dory for the next year or 2, the AF expects things will be even more gruesome in the subsequent years, and they just want to take our lumps now and be done with it.

An af.mil article has already stated that despite the budget there would still be personnel cuts. Also, although the budget deal lowered the impact of the sequester, we are not back at pre-sequester levels. Hopefully the Air Force doesn't have to cut as much as they originally thought, but it's still going to happen.

Does anybody have confirmation that VSP will have to get routed through your SQ and WG/CC before it goes to AFPC? My SQ/CC seemed to think it would go straight to AFPC.

Just to confirm - VSP application is dead in the water until they release the updated PSDM, correct?

audioflyer,

That's correct about it being postponed. I applied and got an email from my CC saying that the VSP program has been postponed and further guidance from AFPC should be coming the next few weeks. Awesome, right?
