You can select 24 and still retire at 20. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

That wing would get 0 outright DPs.

Yes. They changed from TCN to OCN 3-4 years ago because some twat thought it was a reference to third world not that it was a third country (host nation being first, US being second, and all others belonging to a third country).

Not to discourage you but it is eight months pre-tax (so 2/3 of the payment, not what went in your bank). I had a prior-E buddy who got 2x passed over for O-5. He had a bonus commitment to 21 years. They continued him to 20 (24 was not an option until the next year). He asked to stay until the end of his bonus and they said no. In hindsight he could have kept the bonus for the extra year since he hit 20 after his payment anniversary but oh well. In this climate...I’d be surprised if they waive it. But you never know. Go in vMPF and set that separation date for 20 years when you can. Good luck! Who knows maybe they’ll waive it and not notice you’re a pilot.

With no outright DP, and if the MLR doesn’t net you a DP...the push line “If I had a DP...” is key.

Has all the right items. Good example. Although I’ve never seen an ADO called an A35. Nerd alert!

The lower numbers initially reported all include the second eligible people who didn’t take too many bonuses. If you filter to just the initial eligible then you get these “green” numbers which are still “red” since the goal is 65% retention. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Yup. Because I have 2BPZ and 1BPZ “as met” packages complete with the signed PRF from my SR. You are trying to apply the O-4 promotion process to the O-5 process and they are a completely different animal. O-4: 75% DP allocation and 95%+ selection rate. Of course doing your job and not failing a PT test (also your job) will get you promoted. O-5: ~55% DP allocation and

Your tiny view of the AF is not very accurate for the broader force. Many SRs write and submit complete 2BPZ PRFs. They have to do the work anyway (unless the member elects to submit it blank). It also gives the member two draft versions before the IPZ goes live. But be careful, as you can have 2BPZ and 1BPZ with all the right pieces...and a new SR comes in and decides your PRF doesn’t need that “definitely promote” in the bottom line. I know someone who went to the SR after they weren’t promoted with a P (reindeer games) wound up getting his PRF invalidated, and going to a supplemental board with an outright DP. I know many other people who have asked for the feedback. It is only quibbling if you go to argue. If you go to truly understand why you didn’t get what you thought you deserved, then it can be valuable. Most Sq/CCs don’t really understand strats and pushes. Many Gp/CCs don’t either. My Sq/CC told me straight to my face that my PRF was great. I said it wasn’t. Guess who was right? I’ve seen too many good people get burned by not knowing there is even a game to play when they’re Lt and Capt.

There were quite a number of upgrades and other advanced flying training courses turned down in a short time. That plus the Facebook shaming led to quick action.

That increase is solely due to selects not being allowed to do correspondence. But now they got rid of selects. Odds are not in your favor if you skip IDE.

Odds are good it is a troll account by the post history.

The other crew I know of took off from a short runway (8000ish feet) with a steep climb gradient about 40k lbs over max for that runway because they didn’t know how to run TOLD without an SDP. Again...luckily they did not lose an engine and they didn’t know how off their TOLD was until after they were back at home station. Always remember: “There but for the grace of God, go I.” Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Luckily, the crew I know of that had completely invalid TOLD mushed it into the air (unknowingly) and it was just flyable (bad speed on card, bad zero fuel weight from the boom meant really out of limits CG for takeoff). They figured it out when they couldn’t get from precontact to contact. Closest I know of to someone in my community dying from bad TOLD (although they did rotate at the speed on the card).

Does that include all the second eligible people? Or is that just the initial eligible pilot take rate?

When they started going to FTAC?

It has been masked for a while if I remember right. That’s why SRs are putting it in the PRF: “9-time deployer” & “deployed DO” etc. Ref the illegal statements...yes they are unless you’re a HPO. I’ve seen OPRs for non-HPO get kicked back for veiled promotion statements and non-veiled promotion statements stay on HPO OPRs.
