Found out through the public release I joined the twice passed over club.  Leadership here absolutely blows.

Hypothetical situation: someone is selected for O-5, but set to retire 1 May.  Pin-on date works out as 1 Apr but they started terminal 1 Mar.  Do they retire as an O-5? Not talking pay (high-3), talking rank only.

You have to hold your rank for 3 years to retire as that rank, so they would retire 1 May as a Lt Col and be a Major, retired the next day.

In accordance with 10 US Code 1370, 2(A), you have to serve three years to “retire” as an O-5. SecDef can waive to 2 years. Now what gets read on the retirement script…that’s just a Word document

So this persons ID card would say “O-4” even if they pinned on O-5 before retiring?  
 

this is happening to one of our guys, I’ve never known anyone to care enough to ask!

Congrats to the selects! 🍺 Condolences to those who got the shaft. 😭

I somehow managed to get pick it up right in the middle of the pack (with a "trusted officer" push). Looking forward to my $12 BAH increase.

Some stats:

IPZ Rated ops 77% (pilots 77.4%, navs 73.9%, ABM 81.8%), APZ Ops 9.2% (P 7.4%, N 9.8%, ABM 18.5%)

IPZ Non rated ops 75.1%, APZ 16.4%

IPZ Msn sup 78.1%, APZ 11.6%

That’s bullshit. Sorry to hear that.

What's the trusted officer push??

“Continue to challenge.”

Similar to "one of my best", "great officer", etc...

The secret decoder ring says "middle of the pack, didn't commit any crimes but not good enough for a strat."

That’s pretty unacceptable. I’d get on you senior rater’s calendar and give that feedback to their face. 

Got picked up IPZ on this LAF-A board (line # 4XX aka bottom 1/3) with the following push, thought it might be helpful to others next go around:

#7/26 I/APZ

#30/111 Gp O-4s

"I expect great things as an O-5 & AF leader--Definitely Promote!"

Overall recommendation:  PROMOTE 

Biggest help IMO was a deployed MSN/CC gig and obviously ACSC in-correspondance. I personally despise quarterly/annual awards and never put myself in, I'm sure that did not help.

Is our line number just out of the respective line of the air force category or is it overall for the board?

Oh fun. I’m like #52x. Wohoo. Glad I’m trusted.

Anyone get offered Continuation to 24, or are only offering 20?

I'll pin on about 6 days before I separate. So much for that raise I was looking forward to. 🤣

Is the interval released? I saw the 2007 folks was 44 per month but didn’t see the 2008 and when they’ll start those promotions.

Divide the total number of selects by 12. That's how many should be promoted each month... of course they still haven't posted the last 2 months of this FY that should finish out the last of the previous board so who knows what's going on.

Should by 49/month by my math

Hey All--first timer here.

Anyone on the upcoming major board and concerned with the new shit-show of my eval?  My OPR from this year is in the new my eval system and no one knows to include the Wg execs know what is going on to push it up the chain and get it into PRDA.  

My concern is that I'll have a missing OPR with my best strats.  I've seen good dudes get screwed over for missing an OPR or dec in the past.

One solution would be to take the signed OPR and submit it as part of a letter to the board. Not the correct way but it’ll ensure it gets in. Just make sure to adhere to it getting there 10 business days prior to convening rule.

Your wing execs should be fired. There are growing pains with the new system but at this point the wing execs are useless if they can’t at least help with basic processing.  I’d reach out to your MPF, try to speak to an OIC. If they can’t help you (I hope not) then try to get a hold of someone at AFPC.  I know how frustrating it is to be in your shoes.
