Combat time in Northern and Southern Watch flying Eagles. That's all I care to say about that.

Shut the fuck up, Scoobs.

That guy found a license to print cash courtesy the USAF, particularly courtesy A1.

You seem to have the info you need. A letter to the board asking to not be promoted will, more likely than not, give you the result you want. It will make you ineligible for separation pay in almost all cases...see the AFI. A promotion and pinning on does not carry an ADSC. But may have kept someone else off the list. BL: do what you feel comfortable with.

Duck is spot on, I think half of the leadership there thought that was a legit assignment. It's dissapointing that by the time someone reaches O-5 can know so little about the rest of the Air Force (particularly when they are deciding the future of young Lt's).

I've had months where I got more than that.

It's hard to get combat time when he's done three AETC assignments. The Vice is too busy making Discovery Channel specials.

Why the f--k does DFAS make us contribute to Roth TSP in a % of base pay? I know my desired (or maximum) annual contribution and I know how many months there are in a year, let me do the math and give the website a dollar value to contribute every month. Dollar values stay constant unlike base pay which changes every year (part way through the year of course!).

You are welcome to vote, but there is a $75.00 charge to do so.

After reading in the bonus thread that the bonus might not be offered to mobility pilots this year, I decided to create what I call: "The timeline of ridiculousness." Please feel free to add, I've left out quite a bit. - December '13: Force Management '14 programs announced. CSAF tells us we need volunteers... we won't force folks out if we get enough vols. - 23 Dec: VSP matrix released... pilots listed as eligible - Early Jan: RIF matrix released. Gives concrete numbers showing pilots eligible. - Late night 5 Feb: 1-3 hours before midnight CST, AFPC states that UPT ADSCs will NOT be waived, ref PSDM 13-65. - Next 2-3 weeks: Conflicting info presented. AFPC says RIF eligibiles will get ADSC waivers IAW PSDM 13-130, AFPC also says RIF eligibiles won't get waivers IAW PSDM 13-65. Still no one truly knows what's going to happen. - Late Feb: Officer RIF / FSB pushed back & PSDM 13-130 rescinded. Nobody knows why. The AF released a weird statement basically saying it wasn't ready. - Early March: Reports coming in that mobility pilots will not be offered the bonus. Some questions: Why didn't the A1 think to request UPT ADSC waiver authority from the SecAF before the officer VSP window opened? Why didn't the phone operators at AFPC know what was going on wrt these waivers. Why did the info only come out at the last minute? I apologize for the vent, but this is getting to be too much. I've seen too many folks get jerked around with this personnel crap. We've all given lots of time and energy to this organization. Everyone, including those who plan on staying, should demand better from the AF.

Truly remarkable forum. Must be meant for whiny Air Force aircrew who can not maintain simple standards. Come join the USMC, we'll teach you how to fly right.

Haven't they been using contractors?
