Q11B3C

11 months UPT ADSC waived

11 months TA ADSC - might have to pay back about $1500.

Congrats!

Traditional PC or FY14/15 SecAF Approved?

How long did it take your PC application to process?

Traditional pc due to vsp denial. Applied 3 June, approved 17 Sept. 1.5 months to get through afpc. 2 months at SAF/PC.

Has anyone seen an 11F get approved PC recently? I haven't, just want to make sure that it is not a realistic option before I rule it out.

In case anyone is still interested, we just had an 11F in our squadron approved for PC with 2 years 4 months left on UPT ADSC. No votes from Wing and AFPC but approved at SAF/PC. Had an intent to hire letter at an ANG unit which probably helped. Also probably helped that the AF has to meet a slightly lower end strength goal in FY 15. Congrats to him!

Traditional PC. Application awaiting SAF/PC. Recommended by Wing/CC & AFPC/functional. 3 endorsements on my 1288 and an intent to hire letter attached. Anyway SAF/PC denies this?

Anyone else get a thumbs up from Wing/CC and AFPC and still get denied by SAF/PC?

Application just got to SAF/PC after 1.5 months at AFPC. Hoping to hear back by Xmas. This is a cluster.... Thanks for any insight. Good luck.

For those of you that PC'd and received TAMP, how long after your separation did it take for DEERS to update so you were eligible? I was told it takes up to 30 days for my unit to officially gain me, and during those days my family is not covered. Anyone find any quick work arounds; or am I stuck to just sitting, waiting, and paying out of pocket with the hope that Tricare will reimburse me once I'm officially back in DEERS?

Congrats!

Thanks! It was a frustrating process but in the end it was worth it. I'm looking forward to the big change.

If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.

FYI, SECAF just approved tamp for VSPers as well. Pass the word

Traditional Palace Chase Approved!

65F

1 year AFIT ADSC added on to Reserve contract (1:3)

Recommended by Sq/CC, Wing/CC, AFPC

1288 w/ 3 endorsements (11M) and intent to hire letter submitted to AFPC

AFRC UPT Board next

7 weeks at AFPC, 5 weeks at SAF/PC

I appreciate all the info from this board

Anyone know (by AFI) how long your Sq/CC can sit on your PC application? Looked through the Palace Chase governing AFI 36-3205 pg12. It states in there that the WG/CC has 2 weeks (but not quite clear if that means 2 weeks from when he gets it or two weeks from when I submitted the Paperwork to my Sq/CC). My thoughts are that there has got to be a limit on how long a SQ/CC can slow roll.

What are dudes putting in the personal memo? Can't just say, "active duty sucks". I assume the best way to justify is via force shaping and it's the cheapest option?

Or does the personal memo mean a damn thing?

I can't remember exactly what I wrote, but it was along the lines of, "I enjoyed my 6 years on active duty, and with the recent force management measures I believe the Reserves will offer the best opportunity to continue serving in the Air Force." I'm not sure whether the memo was read by anyone but I submitted one because they asked for it. I've also heard of people writing about how the Reserves provides stability for their growing families, having the chance to serve in their hometown unit...things along those lines. The memo only has to be one paragraph so I say just keep it positive and concise.

Herk, I put that the guard/reserves is currently 300 pilots short in the 130/135, I am giving them a solution. Also that our family situation has changed and would like to pursue leadership opportunities in the ARC.

Anyone had PC approved while still under overseas PCS ADSCs?

Mustace/Chizz...thanks for the good poop. I'll update accordingly. Time to show the cards

So what are my chances of PC for a 2010 year group with a UPT grad date of Feb 12'... I'm an 11M.

Slim, meet None...

If you go read the PSDM for the FY14/15 programs it lists how much of what type of adsc can be waived. Particularly now that those programs are closed, the above two posts are spot on.

If I were you, I'd be waiting to see if a new matrix comes out and what that looks like. Because outside of a force management program I don't think your odds are good.

PS-what do you fly?

Any thoughts on PC wrt the newest guidance from SECAF? No voluntary or involuntary programs in FY15, if voluntary programs are needed they'll release a PSDM....dunno if maybe I showed my cards and I'm in for a painful next few years

I'm working to PC now. Asking for about 13 months off my UPT ADSC. I hope to submit the application mid January. Just gonna try. Worst case it is denied. I'll then be at the whim of AFPC assignments.

1-1 PC is gone BC they were so "successful" last year. 1-3 traditional PC has been around and people have been getting approved with it for years.

Two keys

1. Have a position number and/or hiring letter for an ANG/Res unit. Though not required for officers, you won't get approved without.

2. Know the manning level for your year group/AFSC at Sq/Wg/MAJCOM level. If you're in a critically manned block, odds of approval are lower.

Good luck and know that it's hard to turn back from PC. Once you submit, you will be viewed as a short-timer and move to bottom of list for good things (promo/assignments/awards/jobs) and top for a 365. If you can handle all this, it is totally worth it when you get to the other side.

AFPC functional policy is to not recommend any PC asking for anything above 12 mos. Doesn't mean SAF/PC office won't approve anyway, but better chance if you're asking for 12 mos or less.
