Rusty Pipes Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 As far as potential PCS, can't you just 7 day opt out? Not trying to add fuel to the fire, just curious. I can see the line number argument or unique family situation as being factors. I'm nowhere near retirement and have no dependents, so just trying to get insight into the decision making process If you are current and qualified with enough hours to get hired by the bankrupt "Butters Air" and sitting at the 17-18 year point when you are offered an assignment you could either accept the assignment (along with the 2 yr PCS ADSC), 7 day opt and get nothing for your 18 yrs of service if you have no ADSC (you would obviously be insane to do this) or apply for TERA if you were eligible. You'd only get about 45% vs the full 50% for getting to 20 yrs, but would easily make up for that 5% difference with a line number 2 yrs earlier.

HossHarris Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Before you 7-day opt you try to decline the additional adsc (for pcs). If they waive the adsc, then you have to 7-day opt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lossofclocklossofdata Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Anybody else applying for VSP still at "Referred to Sq CC"? Yep. Coming up on 3 weeks tomorrow. I wonder if he knows it will get denied anyway due to ADSC? Probably still thinks I'm eligible and is holding on to it to until the quota is met.

FBomb Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Expectation management? "Secretary expects personnel cuts to be less severe than previously estimated"http://mobile.airforcetimes.com/article/20140226/NEWS/302260031 We were also told that folks would be let go voluntarily, and that didn't happen. We were told twice passed folks would basically not be denied TERA, and that didn't happen. I'm not holding my breath on this one given the overall dismal outlook for the FY15 proposal and the fact it has little chance of passing congress as is. I'll believe this one when I see it.

As of this past Friday, CMA shows my application has moved to "AFPC Voluntary Separation Pay Office". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 anyone else's VSP application say referred to "AFPC Voluntary Separation BPO"? Mine changed a few hours ago. Asked a buddy who was denied VSP (UPT ADSC). Apparently that's the last stop before a decision is made. Also, did you notice how I used three abbreviations in a row there?

Mountain Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 How was your buddy notified his application was denied? Email from AFPC or notified by CC? He got an email from AFPC.

FLY6584 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 i wonder why some of us with UPT ADSCs have already been denied while others have not... The only ones I see that haven't been denied yet are the ones still sitting at the Squadron or Wing Commander signature stage. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think everyone that has been Referred to BPO has been denied already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong, mine's been through the Sq and Wg, recommend approval at both, referred to BPO, now just today, referred to AFPC Voluntary Separation Pay.

So what're your stats? AFSC? Year group? ADSC? Zodiac sign? I'm a TERA hopeful, but your status sounds hopeful, and I'm sure lots of folks would like to know that stuff. Hell, I'm curious too. Also, keep us updated. You could be the first success story in this 81-page thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifty-six & Two Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I wouldn't get your hopes up. Know someone who had less than a week left on their UPT ADSC and was denied and another with less than 2 months on their UPT ADSC that was denied. Both applied on the first day of the application window and found out last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbigred300 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 So weird...also 2006 11m and mine got kicked back like 2 weeks ago. Unless they did a batch right after the window and are about to do another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnkr Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Also, with the commercial equivalent, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10, seeing less service, fewer replacement parts would be available for the KC-10. Totally makes sense. Good thing Boeing been keeping those 707 flying so parts stayed on the shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimuth Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Totally makes sense. Good thing Boeing been keeping those 707 flying so parts stayed on the shelves. Rumor mill is that -10 MX are running out of the computer [bCU?] that control the boom, which is all fly-by-wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
