Shaft34 Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) TERA approved, but not really (see 2 posts down) 11R 99 year group ADSC until Jan '18 for TEB O-4 (1x passed over for O-5) Edited April 17, 2014 by Shaft34
nichter Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Pure speculation on my part, but it seems like these rated TERA/VSP approvals are flowing out in functional batches. Yesterday there were a couple of 11/12B guys and today a couple of 11/12R's. Last week it seemed like the 11M's were gettting approved. This is entirely anecdotal, but just what I think appears to be a pattern. Sooooo, the milliion dollar question: is it the Functionals holding this up, or the seperations office? From a 12R still waiting on VSP... Edited April 16, 2014 by nichter
Tonka Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 GI Bill TEB ADSC until Jan '18 (transferred the day before my TERA app) Well played.
Shaft34 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Yeah...not so well played after all. Just got a call from AFPC saying they sent the approval to the wrong "Maj Xxxxx". The quota has been met and I was down the list a few. Currently waiting for a decision from a General on how to proceed from here. All I've been wanting is a resolution to this process, either a yes or no. Kind of sucks telling your family you've been approved, then turning around a couple hours later and telling them you still don't have a clue! Edited April 17, 2014 by Shaft34
TrunkMonkey Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) TERA denied. 11M 1999 yr group O-5 1 yr ADSC for GI Bill benefits transfer Congrats to the folks who got approved today! Condolences to my fellow BODN'ers who got disapproved. Edited April 17, 2014 by TrunkMonkey
jstarsshag Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) TERA APPROVED! 2001 11R PCS ADSC jun '15 See you folks in the breadline! :) Edited April 17, 2014 by jstarsshag 1
chizz Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 "Final batch processing will happen once the program closes out (after 1 May), your application will be on hold until then. This is due to SAF just recently provided AFPC the expanded ADSC waiver authority which now allows us to process members with the ADSC for UPT. We are allowing time for others to apply before doing another round of batch processing for final decisions to be fair since the expanded authority was just released. //SIGNED// Name removed My statement/question is this. We, or at least I, applied under the assumption they were going to do 30 day batches starting after the initial window opened...BACK IN FEB!!!!! They didnt wait for others to apply until that initial window closed so why are they now waiting another month to approve these???? They werent planning on doing it in the beginning, so why now? Are they saying everyone who applied that doesnt require a waiver are more qualified to receive VSP over someone who doesnt require a waiver? what about three people who all have one yr ADSCs for different reasons left, who wins in that tie? They need to publish ADSC priorities if that is the case so they are operating under standard conditions. Right now it seems like its at the whim of the GS-7. I would also like to know why the C-17 individual whose pilot training commitment was waived was approved before the rest of us then. This require an answer right now, not May 1, because by then it will be too late if they already hit their numbers. Blow up this guy's inbox with tough questions because i dont think they are following linear/static guidance and its creating turmoil in the masses. 1
Bender Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Blow up this guy's inbox! Agree! That should help speed things along. If only this one GS-7 felt a little pressure this whole thing should start straightening itself out. It's completely understandable to wait for processing if people that were I eligible are now eligible. I do think they should publish the decision criteria you reference though, if for no other reason than to prove they have one. That type of action is transparency, a "status update" (regardless who sends it) is not. Good luck guys, Bendy Edited April 17, 2014 by Bender

Good luck guys, Bendy what is not understandable is the fact that guys on here are saying people that need waivers have been approved. that negates everything he and Cox just said, if they are waiting then wait for everyone. but the fact that they already approved some, sorry but it is time to shit or get off the pot. they keep trying to buy more time and it is really starting to affect individuals' future plans, big time!
aerobat95 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Are you applying for TERA or VSP? EDIT: I got antsy and called the TFSC to see where exactly my application was and I was able to confirm my application is indeed at the last stop before approval/disapproval (AFPC OFF Voluntary Separation Pay), but the technician said the only thing it said was "pending" and that she didn't know if I'd hear anything about it before 1 May. I am applying for VSP.....still no movement
Charlie17Chick Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Congrats to all the TERA approvals!! You give us hope the these program are proving their purpose. Don't lose faith everyone, 1 May is right around the corner. How I look at is, there are 300 pending applications, and at least 415 pilot overages so that's pretty good odds that if you applied you have a fair chance at getting approved with the waivers now.
StretchJr Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I have a hard time believing there are only 300 officer applications left for VSP. Possibly that number was produced before considering applications that would require UPT ADSC waivers? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The state of the force is strong, nothing to see here! 2
shweaty Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Got a matrix update email. All VSP year groups up to 2003 are closed.
TERA applicant Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 My application still says "FM - Pending Auth". Has anyone else has their status updated? TFSC told me yesterday that the Matrix had changed and I was no longer eligible... Could not find the updated TERA matrix so I called TFSC back... I was told the most current matrix is Apr 3rd.
Mish_Hacker Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Got a matrix update email. All VSP year groups up to 2003 are closed. Is there a newer matrix than the April 3rd one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
NotADude Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Got a matrix update email. All VSP year groups up to 2003 are closed. When you say up to 2003, you mean 2003 and earlier I hope? That would check with most of the approvals being posted on here, and the 1 May application w/ ADSC processing dates. I'm 2004, so don't want to give up just yet.
LettersVSandP Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Can you email me the new matrix email? Bjbbiker@aol.com Thanks "You never have too much gas...unless you're on fire" You may have been queued for approval 1 May and they made your YG ineligible because they had enough applications (including yours). I wouldn't abandon all hope. Now that I've expressed support for our friend and colleague, let the good-natured mockery of his email begin...But nobody sign him up for any biker porn newsletters!
chizz Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 That's why I gave you that one! And so I could look at whatever gay porn you sign me up for at work! ;) "You never have too much gas...unless you're on fire"
MooseAg03 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Got a matrix update email. All VSP year groups up to 2003 are closed. It makes a lot of sense to have another VSP window open from 22 May to 30 June then. It says the second window is specifically for those who previously had unwaiverable ADSCs or were deployed. Maybe their 300 number is correct and they're enticing more people from 04-08 year groups to apply to hit the required numbers.

tunes Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) new O matrix dated 15 April on mypers... is that the one saying up to 03 is closed? or something newer? Edited April 17, 2014 by tunes
