March 31, 201411 yr Just got off the phone with the TFSC and they said they had no information regarding a 6 year UPT ADSC waiver. The guy I spoke with called the separations folks and they said they are still waiting to hear back from Air Staff on whether they will waive UPT ADSC's so at least it sounds like it is slightly within their cross check.
March 31, 201411 yr I'm sure he's trolling, but if they did put it at 6 years, then bravo "Air Staff." Those of us serving out our sentences in GCSs will appreciate the choice of that number.

Those of us serving out our sentences in GCSs will appreciate the choice of that number. 6 years makes sense if they actually want to cut pilots back to the '08 year group like the matrix that was taken down shows. First shred of common sense being applied however it appears to be WOM at this point.

March 31, 201411 yr Wow. Information. Does anyone know how to confirm our SOU is on file? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
March 31, 201411 yr Note the wording of #5: "PLANNING to BEGIN..." Look out boys, the rules are changing again!
March 31, 201411 yr Didn't they already begin? They've been approving TERAs for the last week. Just not O's.
March 31, 201411 yr Just got the same email. PSDM says complete by 1 Apr. Guess they are already planning ahead for their eventual failure. Shock.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk MyPers, my account at top, one of the incidents should have the SOU missing cm if you received an email about it missing. Click on a vsp/tera related incident and it should be attached as a pdf. Also "my documents" on bottom left should have it. Edited March 31, 201411 yr by lossofclocklossofdata
March 31, 201411 yr That's what I was worried about. I know I uploaded my SOU, but I don't see it in either of those places. Awesome. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
March 31, 201411 yr I was told by AFPC that the "qualified applicants" will be approved tomorrow. Applicants that are not qualified (i.e. ADSC) will have a decision in the near future (whatever that means).
March 31, 201411 yr Old TERA announcement "Although we are updating in batches...The application window will run through 26 Mar 14. Therefore, you should expect an answer no later than 1 Apr 14." New TERA announcement: "TERA processing has not been suspended. We are still planning to begin providing Approval/Disapproval notifications as scheduled 1-Apr-2014."
March 31, 201411 yr Like I said, they clearly began over a week ago with enlisted. Not sure what that actually means.

Ah yes, the "changing goal post" technique. Helping warriors meet their objectives since 2008.

April 1, 201411 yr I got an email from my boss today saying that they will waive 550 pilot/flying ADSCs for VSP. There were no details on how many to which year groups, airframes, etc. though so take it with a grain of salt. Here's hoping.

There were no details on how many to which year groups, airframes, etc. though so take it with a grain of salt. Here's hoping. AFPC just sent out a correction. The 550 is metric and AFPC still uses standard. The actual number after conversion is 341.755005157394. I rounded off the last digit.

Are you at an undisclosed in location in Southwest Asia where it's April 1st? Haha very funny.

There were no details on how many to which year groups, airframes, etc. though so take it with a grain of salt. Here's hoping. The total of 11X overages from 2005-2008 on the previous RIF matrix was only 415. Maybe they are including some CSOs in the later year groups that may have ADSC remaining. Could they actually be intelligent enough to be offering ADSC waivers for the entire group in order to make them eligible for VSP, like the CSAF promised he would? If so, it would be the first thing to impress me about the AF for a long time.

If so, it would be the first thing to impress me about the AF for a long time. If they include the 04 year group (not eligible for the RIF, still?), that might get them to 550. Or that number could include the late-to-rate folks in the 01-03 year groups, or both. It could be referencing the CSOs, though Nav training ADSC was not excepted from the waiver in 13-65. But, who knows at this point, right? Good luck to the TERA applicants today....
April 1, 201411 yr K. I'm a little slow on the uptake. Which of the last 7 seven posts are legit? I doubt many of us are in the mood for tomfoolery on this subject but I'll throw out a courtesy laugh just to get clarification on the above info.
