FlyFastLiveSlow Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Now I know why I have 2 monitors at the office...so I can keep working while I leave the other on my TERA status. Well done AF. 1
WolfPack0708 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 For all TERA folks: one of our CC's briefed this week that one of their members unexpectedly showed up on a loss roster so the squadron went and asked him what was going on. He had no idea so he called the total force support center and was told that he had been approved for TERA. I know you all will be shocked to learn that he never received any notification from AFPC that he had been approved; so make sure that you're checking on your application weekly with the TFSC. 1 1

Why give this a downvote (unless it was Butters)? Seems like SA-building comm.

lossofclocklossofdata Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Since vsp has been delayed my tertiary plan to get out moved forward. Win a billion dollars from Warren buffet and establish a conflict of interest. Unfortunately I underestimated Dayton's skills and was out after the first game. It's up to you now AFPC. Though I think my odds were better to win the billion. 6
Butters Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Why give this a downvote (unless it was Butters)? Seems like SA-building comm. Sorry to dissapoint but is was harm_138, and ChiefSlapahoe saved it!

CEGuy Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Gentlemen, Wanted to say thank you for all the info regarding the Force Shaping programs; learned more from this thread than AFPC/MyPers combined.
Mountain Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Gentlemen, Wanted to say thank you for all the info regarding the Force Shaping programs; learned more from this thread than AFPC/MyPers combined. Sad, isn't it? 2
CEGuy Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 It is Mountain; but then again, I haven't been able to get a straight/valid answer in over 19 years so why start now?
Catbox Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) So it's 1610 at AFPC, I suppose it's safe to assume we are going into another weekend without a shred of real information about what's going on. I suppose rumor and innuendo will have to sustain us through the next 60 hours. Edit: really don't want to be court martialed for a dumb message board post Edited March 21, 2014 by Catbox 1
ThreeHoler Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 As far as I have heard "strategic pause" is still in effect.
CEGuy Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 This "strategic pause" is beginning to create a "strategic clusterfcuk" for a few folks' post AF employment plans...
Catbox Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 This "strategic pause" is beginning to create a "strategic clusterfcuk" for a few folks' post AF employment plans... Add units who don't know if they are keeping/losing bodies, TMO, FSS, Tap facilitators, families and schools. Oh and a few divorce lawyers salivating at the spouses who have been told "no doubt we'll have a answer this week."
lossofclocklossofdata Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 And the healthcare.gov deadline next week for when we get tricare bennies turned off.

Edit: really don't want to be court martialed for a dumb message board post We managed to corner a member of my DT today in a brief and got a few straight answers out of him. My understanding is that A1 and/or AFPC is under the gun to release the RIF matrices and associated guidance by the end of this month. If they fail, the RIF board date must be delayed again (supposedly driven by a legal requirement of 6 months between guidance/eligibility and the board itself).
Mish_Hacker Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Weren't they just supposed to update the RIF matrix? Why did they pull it down? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
MooseAg03 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 It was shortly after Valentine's Day if not 14 Feb itself. I submitted my VSP application on 13 Feb and I remember it was only a day or 2 after when the rules seem to have totally changed. 1
moosepileit Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 The Reserve vacancies list for pilots has more openings than I have seen in my 7 ARC years. Good luck for those working any crossover!
ComingLeft Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Weren't they just supposed to update the RIF matrix? Why did they pull it down? There never was a RIF matrix. Please continue with your CBTs. These delays have been so convenient for the AF. I am now past S1 for my PCS. I already delayed my Spring move for VSP processing time. Current leadership was cool and I was still sratted on my OPR. Highlighted myself for my next base though. I should actually thank A1. If they change the accounting date, I am in the envious situation of being the new guy in the squad right before a RIF. Luck and timing. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
olevelo Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 So what was excel sheet on AFPC called RIF Eligibility Matrix? 1
AlifBaa Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 SECAF came to our deployed location yesterday and I was able to attend a brief talk she gave. There were three interesting tidbits that at least I hadn't heard before: 1. In regards to force shaping: "We did a poor job of communicating with you." That's pretty close to a direct quote and she said it two or three times. I think that constitutes an apology for poor performance and obviously means A1 and AFPC are under the gun. 2. There will be 2 RIF boards now, but if you're eligible for the first you won't be eligible for the second. There was a lot of double speaking surrounding why they went to two boards and no details about who will be eligible for the first and who will be eligible for the second. She did say that if there were discipline issues between board 1 and 2 you could end up eligible for both. Sorry if that one is redundant news, but it certainly hadn't filtered its way out here. 3. Pay raises below the employment cost index are merely slowing the growth of pay. They're not a cut in pay... definitely not a cut in pay... trust me... that's an order. 2
Altus Barbarosa Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Some dude on the retirement FB page just posted his TERA approval email. 15 yr TSgt. Said he got it an hour ago or so.
