Mish_Hacker Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Well, no sleep last night. I wonder what time AFPC starts working....
crwfshkid Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Only a couple 11Rs approved on the forums/FB...at Robins, we had an 03 & 05 approved yesteday. The rest of us 06/07/08 guys are still waiting. The change of MC-12s to a 11R core threw off all guesses.
17D_guy Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Just curious. With the huge amount of people getting out combined with the VSP what do you think it'll be like hiring at the airlines? I imagine there will be a decent amount of legacy guys applying too? This job market could be interesting and I'm sure will make the hiring departments of all walks of civilian aviation happy There's a thread for that.
Snooter Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Altus got cleaned out today. *gulp* will be third assignment IP on Vml in Sept, I'm feeling nauseous...
Charlie17Chick Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Late to the party, on leave so I called TFSC. Approved! 2005 11M 2.75 yrs UPT ADSC C-17 in AETC Congrats to all those getting approved and best of luck to those still waiting! Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App! 1
FLY6584 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 For those of us that the jury is still out on let us know if you hear approval today... i.e. the notification/email came today... so that we know whether to keep hope.
FLY6584 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Btw does anyone else who is waiting to hear feel like a prisoner who is watching all of his buddies get approved for parole and you're happy for them, but pissed off you're still stuck in this prison?
Emer Msn Updated Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) I feel more like the fat kid who hasn't gotten picked yet for dodgeball... But def happy for those who have been picked. Edited May 20, 2014 by Emer Msn Updated
Shut up 'n color Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Does anyone know what the current PSDM is that outlines the next (May 22) VSP window? May have missed the boat on this, but I'm starting to regret I didn't pull the trigger. Need to know if my yr group is even eligible anymore.
LettersVSandP Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I just got off the phone with the TFSC. He said I don't have an answer because officer notifications had to go out manually and those that haven't gotten one yet would be notified by the end of the week. So, that's their current talking point. Congrats to those approved, good luck to those waiting, and God have mercy on the poor bastards denied. '05 11M UPT ADSC only
Emer Msn Updated Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I can corroborate this. I got the same answer when I called this morning.
Xtndr Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I die a little bit inside with each desktop email alert that isn't from AFPC. My worst nightmare would be an email from AFPC that, upon opening, would congratulate me on no longer being eligible for the RIF...
Snuggie Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I'm happy for everybody in my year group that gotten approved so far because that lessens my chance of getting RIF'ed in the fall. Keep the good news coming! Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App! 1 1
BoneIP Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I'm happy for everybody in my year group that gotten approved so far because that lessens my chance of getting RIF'ed in the fall. Keep the good news coming! Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App! And higher promotion chances too, right?? <sarcasm> ... all I know is I don't want to be one of the poor saps picking up the peices after this mass exodus. I am on leave this week but I can't seem to stop checking vMPF every half hour or so, just trying to make room for the true blues .
Rusty Pipes Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 It looks like the guy who is approving VSP down at AFPC had his wife or girlfriend leave him for a 2005 11M and wants to make sure there are none left on Active Duty!!! Congrats to all who were approved! I hope this doesn't have the same impact as the 2006 VSP that wiped out a ton of IP/EP types in the C-17 and C-5 (I'm sure CAF had a similar problem). Hopefully more good news will come soon for everyone still waiting... good luck!

Hopefully more good news will come soon for everyone still waiting... good luck! No - this is much, much worse. Still, I am happy for the folks headed out - getting what you want in life is important. And timing is everything... Chuck Edit: For a point of clarification: this will be worse in the C-17 community, who will have now endured two force reductions which have decimated the IP ranks since its inception, one in 2006, now one in 2014 (and a minor one in 1999). Though years apart, the cumulative effects of starting a community between 1994-1999, the outflow of IPs in 1999, constant mobility operations without any letup between 2001-2006, the VSP debacle of 2006, the expansion of the community 2006-2010, its organ-donor relationship with the RPA community, and now its inevitable retraction (CHS and TCM will each lose a squadron - sorry Pathfinders and Food Lions), and the 2014 VSP have taken quite the toll on the active duty force - not sustainable. Training is down, experience is down, morale is down. Picking up the pieces will not be easy given the compound interest of the problem at hand. Fly safe dudes, watch your asses.

Mish_Hacker Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Jsanto, still all quiet here at dyess... No news Anybody heard anything at Minot, whiteman, or Ellsworth? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited May 20, 2014 by Mish_Hacker
chizz Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Apparently 50 mc-12 guys approved? Guess avenge, L3 and others won't be short on their pool of pilots
Vspapplicant Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Chizz any idea on the year group makeup of those 50?
outlaw05 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Mish_Hacker, I haven't heard of any movement at Dyess on the C-130 or B-1 side. Have you?
Mish_Hacker Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Mish_Hacker, I haven't heard of any movement at Dyess on the C-130 or B-1 side. Have you? Nothing for b1 or 130 as far as I know, though I'm not really tapped into the 130 numbers. All I heard was that 40 dudes in the 317th applied on Feb 6. Silence since then. If I hear anything I'll pass it on... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
jrobe Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 It might be easier to have a Friday roll call and see who's left. Congratulations all of you.....I hate your faces Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
gator2 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Has there ever been consensus on whether you can sell back leave? If so, what was the reference? Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
MooseAg03 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 All my friends have gotten approvals. I definitely feel like the fat kid who got picked last for kickball. I don't know if I can take waiting another week for the denial.
Fuzz Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) sorry Pathfinders and Food Lions Maybe you have more update info than I do but I got a call from a buddy in the 17th about two weeks ago saying they were told they were being cut next year. Edited May 20, 2014 by Fuzz
