The new 14-08 has minor adjustments to: 1) Date of separation for FSB eligible applicants who want to VSP (such that their separation date allows them 6 years TOS), 2) Specifying that an O-6 or GS-equivalent must coordinate (recommend or not recommend) your application, and 3) adds an exception to the IRR agreement regarding the recoupment of VSP funds in the event you qualify for disability. It also says that you do not have to have a justification for ADSC remaining in the remarks when you apply. It then keeps the reference to 13-65 and ADSC waivers.... No word yet on UPT ADSC waivers, but now that we've cleared up these major issues with 14-08, I guess it is time to apply?

Anybody else applying for VSP still at "Referred to Sq CC"?

I know I'm preaching to the choir on this (and this is just my opinion/perspective), but I still have a problem with the relationship between VSP and the Limited ADSC Waiver program. 13-65 indicates that you can separate using Limited ADSC as its own, stand-alone program (and it also talks about the Expanded Palace Chase Program as another stand-alone option). So if your ADSC is on the approved list, you could (theoretically) just apply for a standard separation and put "LImited ADSC Waiver Program" as your justification. No separation pay, just out and done... With that being said, the Limited ADSC Waiver program doesn't mention VSP at all. I can see the relationship between these two applying to those AFSC/year-group combinations that are "eligible" for voluntary programs on the matrix, but are not on the RIF matrix. For those eligible for RIF, and as it has been previously discussed in this thread, 13-130 should apply and it makes no reference to 13-65. As such, it should follow that those people who are eligible for the RIF (since they are identified as overages) should not need an ADSC Waiver to VSP. It's not like I get RIF'd and then AFPC turns around and says, "Good news, your RIF just got overturned because you still have ADSC".... This is how it makes sense to me, so I'm sure that it is the opposite of what AFPC will do....
