I'd imagine it varies by state. I know that my state generally wants it done prior to ROPMA (~6 years as an O-4).

Or the COMSEC form you have to initial 100 times... can't be typed, initials must be filled out in pen.

"They're willing to go full Strangelove on us" State of the Union addresses never include hyperbole but hyperbole usually contains a bit of truth.

Touché.

How did the "Warrior Monk" let this slip past? DOD INSTRUCTION 1020.03:  HARASSMENT PREVENTION AND RESPONSE IN THE ARMED FORCES

Do you have the manning to work a Panama schedule (break your flight/SQ into 2 "crews" each with a day shift and night shift)? Crew A does 2 days on 2 days off, 3 days on 3 days off. Crew B does 2 days off 2 days on, 3 days off, 3 days on. Just make sure you have some sort of mechanism for handoff between shifts/crews (logs, slides, etc...) The squadron I'm in now does that in perpetuity and while you don't get every weekend off you do get two 3 days weekends every month...

Thanks. Chrome worked for me. Now the last applied section; I'm sure it will be riveting. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

I'm finishing Joint Air Operations (ACSC DL 6.0) and I just want to kill the last lesson (exercise) this weekend. IT won't work on my MacBook with Safari. Anyone had any luck getting the .xml to work on a MacOs?

Down $168/month. Not surprising considering oil prices are depressed and AK can't figure out how to finance government without tapping into Permanent Fund Savings. Economics/government fail when you need one commodity at $90/barrel to finance your government.

That works until you're an ACC tenant unit on an AFMC base and the ABW/CC is more concerned with the union than military necessity. If you've ever tried to deploy 260+ folks at one time UDM is truly a full time job.

From what I've been told this is the nail in your coffin.... When the WIC ADSC expires you may have more success...

Closing today with Dave Devine and NBKC on the second home we've purchased using him as our lender. Top rate from start to finish and answered every question we had (no real estate agents were used as the house was FSBO and we'd been watching the location/market for years). As soon as this ink dries we'll be refinancing an investment condo through him.

I'm PC to an AGR slot and my retirement transfers and will be the exact same as it was on active duty. You can absolutely transfer your Post 9-11 GI Bill in the Guard. Not sure about the reserves. I'm serving out the last of my 4 year commitment in the Guard. If you look up the Palace Chase reg there is a section about transferring your commitment to the Reserve/ANG. AD will only move you to your home of record (HOR) on your separation orders. I worked with my ANG HR office to generate my AGR orders and then used those for my DPS move. One thing to note is that if you start your move with your separation orders you can't swap to your AGR orders so you have to start over. So I waited until I had my AGR orders. I'm literally in the middle of doing this (AD PC to AGR) and between Oklahoma and Alaska (in Washington State to see family). If you have any other questions let me know.

I've done the same in Key West, Vegas, and Alaska.

Leave transfers (I'm doing it now). Two of my bros took 60+ days to the AKANG and I'm taking roughly 30. The key is ensuring no break in service (I.e my DOS from AD is 15 June, I swear into the Guard 16 June). If you have a break in service then it makes it significantly more difficult, not impossible, to transfer your leave. The real question, that I couldn't get an answer to and didn't press to test, was could you sell leave when you leave Active Duty and then again when you retire from the ANG. My gut tells me no but who knows. Another leave question that I never got answered was how do you reconcile terminal leave with travel days. For example, I get 11 travel days from Oklahoma to Alaska. I want to swear in, in person at my new unit, to ensure no break in service so I travel while I'm still on AD orders. The Guard said I was good to press 11 days before my swear in date but AD said I needed to be on terminal leave during that time. Based on the short timeframe between deployment RTB and terminal leave start I elected to just take the leave and try to recoup it once I'm in the Guard. If not I'm still on a 30 day vacation traveling across the country. I don't think you can start your AGR orders until your DOS from AD but I never asked the question.

All I can turn up is that he was an ABM at Tinker in the 2005/2006 timeframe.

What the literal ; I'll do some research.

Approved 4 days ago. Here's my timeline. Submitted 9 Feb. To SAF/PC 10 March. Approved 22 March. Pretty much spot on with 4 weeks at AFPC and 2 weeks at SAF/PC. Requested DOS 15 June 16 and removing 8 months of ADSC from Post 9-11 GI Bill. AFSC 13B. Was hired back in November for an AGR gig.

8 months.

Mine has been at SAF/PC since 10 March. Hoping that I get some news on Duck's timeline.

11R in my squadron just approved asking for 8 months off. My application is sitting at SAF/PC.

My application made it out of the SQ and WG inside of 7 days. It got to AFPC where it was rejected, not denied, due to not having my medical/dental records, pt scores, and a copy of my SURF attached. I thoroughly reviewed the Palace Chase, Officer Separations, and the briefing on the vMPF separations site. At no point did I see any of those things were required. Did I just miss it or were there some other regs/memos/etc that I should have read? If you click on Palace Chase the pop up, on the separations page of vMPF, specifically says a 1288, 2631, and personal memo were the "required" documents. The awesome thing was that I had attached the medical clearance letter from the state flight surgeon clearing my to join that state's ANG. All of those items, medical/dental/pt, were specifically annotated on there that I met Alaska's standards.

What AFi is this in? I was curious to see if mine would get approved with my only ADSC being GI Bill transfer going until 2018..... So I can't seem to find it in an AFI; that specific data is from my in service recruiter, taken with a salt shaker full of salt, I'll post the exact verbiage later. I ended up applying for Palace Chase anyways; I'll let the message board know what happens. I've got less than a year, hired for a full time AGR job, and don't want to go to staff this summer so what do I have to lose?

4 Jan at Aviano. Saw it on AFN; I thought the season was cancelled?
