Duck Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Been there. Did they not offer continuation? I got continued on AD then Palace Fronted and made it first time in the Reserve. Highly recommend that option if you can find a unit. Feel free to hit me up if you have questions.I don’t know yet about continuation. My Commander called me late Friday night. He said that a letter was supposed to be attached to the email he got about my passover but MPF forgot to attach it. He said we will talk Monday. Thanks again guys. I feel like I just won the lottery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggiecadet03 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 still no news for me. It's going to be a long weekend. Also my CC is on leave. Although I'm sure he got the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennynova Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Dick will most likely be continued to 20 years as a captain with the option to take it or get processed after 6 months. No no way does the Air Force "force" him out with it not being his choice. If they did that, it's just like being RIFd or VSPd and they would owe him approx $100k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
di1630 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 How F-d is an organization where a dude asks not to promote and gets congratulated for not doing so.Congrats man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Does anyone know anything about permissive leave that a Commander can authorize for people separating? Is that a thing? I have about 55 days stockpiled, but wondering if I can add to it for terminal. Thanks for the kind words brothers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snuggie Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I also found out yesterday. I’m a 1APZ and I made it. So far all the APZs I’ve talked to have made it. I wonder of guys that were passed over again if there are any that didn’t have a QFI or asked not to be promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they already have things lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your TAP class scheduled and knock it out ASAP. You miss a week of work and you don't want to be doing that shit while you're in the middle of PCSing, separating, and job hunting all at one time.

I thought I remember that somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Nope. The permissive TDY for house/job hunting is only authorized for retirements or involuntary separations (it’ll be voluntary in your case cuz the AF will be kind enough to offer you continuation). I got screwed on my end of ADSC separation. I thought the same thing and took 19 ptdy days for house hunting and job interviews. Commander approved (Yep, bad on both of us for not knowing the ins and outs of the AFIs), but the CSS dude (ya know, the dude whose J-O-B it is to know this stuff) signed off on it all three times. At my final out, was told by finance “sorry, that shouldn’t have been approved. We have to go back and change it to regular leave.” I could either stay AD for 19 more days (not an option, HHGs were gone and I had airline Indoc to start) or charge it as excess leave. I did the latter and got screwed out of 19 days of pay in the back end of my terminal leave. Big Blue just had to give one last kick in the crotch on my way out. #byefelicia That sucks man. Thanks for the info though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennynova Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Just don't show up and don't sign up for leave. It will all work itself out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xaarman Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Ok I had to look back in my emails. Your discharge benefits code is under “special benefits package.” When you go to Airman and Family Readiness, they will look up that code, which also authorizes you six months of healthcare under TAMP. MPF has a master list of codes that qualify for the 20 days of permissive TDY under the special benefits package listed above. Give them the code that A&FRC gave you and they will validate the 20 days. Edit: I had to go to MPF and get it added to DEERS, THEN Separations would validate/approve the 20 days. Edit 2: it was the Separation code, which was JGB for us. That’s what I had to get added to DEERS before pressing on.

Guardian Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I did it under the older leave rules. However it depends on your cc. If he doesn’t really care to give you permissive paper work to fill out then I wouldn’t tell a soul. I agree. Doesn’t seem to be legal now though.

xaarman Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 What? Rule #2 specifically says special benefits package, which JGB falls under per MPFs own list. As for currency, I separated 31 Dec 2017, so not sure what would have changed between now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Long time listener, first time caller here. Not to drag out the 17D conversation, but I have some good gouge from some fairly reliable sources here in AMC. They're stating that SECAF went to Congress IOT explain the snafu w/ this board and that there's a list of about 200 personnel (cases) still in deliberation--said individual's SRs will have the "opportunity" to provide an explanation as to why they think these Airmen deserve O-4 given their records. So, it would appear that all isn't lost if you don't initially see your name on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I heard they didn’t even have a continuation board on this round because the rate was so high. Can anybody confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard time believing that the Air Force wouldn't offer continuation to rated guys in the midst of a pilot manning crisis... But then, they've done dumber things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
