Altus Barbarosa

Even though I took it in the ass I've for to ask, what timeline have they broken that would cause you to spazz like that? Other than the 30 day batch shit they have yet to actually bust anything. Now when they bust the 1 April date, which I expect them to, then we will all spazZ ZZZZZ!!!

I did hear TSgt Barbarosa is pretty stoked.

Si.

Hi. I'm back. Those piss drunk cox in my FSS forwarded my a TERA approval for a TSgt Barbarosa. What a goat rope. Man, these dudes are PISSING ME OFF. F U C K !!!!

Woo hoo! Got my orders at lunch. TERA approved with 15yrs 8 months. O4 prior E. Peace out guys! Time to schedule my TAP! Good luck dudes!

We'll I have a 1405 service date loaded today. Was NA until now. Maybe things are going to start happening finally.

Computer is even slower id think. Can only see one app at a time. Unless you just want it automated and let Windows sort out people's lives.

Why would you call TFSC 10 times? I'm not sure what you think they would know about your case specifically. It's pretty clear that the people answering the phones are call-center type folks who operate as a first line of defense before you get forwarded to the actual office of responsibility. Was this seriously not obvious to you? Jesus people. The answering machine that picks up at TFSC tells you upfront to sit tight until 1 Apr. Yeah, this is a pretty shitty way for them to do things but people need to stop acting like they've been wronged by the guys in the trenches at TFSC and AFPC. Those guys are probably doing the best they can with the guidance and authority they have been provided. Stop busting their balls and shitting on them every time you want specifics on your case when you've been told over, and over and over since the beginning that these guys don't have any specifics. AFPC as an organization? Yeah, it's a clusterfk and it has royally f'd this thing up for everyboday. But the people on the phone are just doing their jobs and probably getting paid $14/hr to do it. Personally I think alot of the blame should go to the 5k people who tried to apply and sneak one by when they weren't eligible. It's true a small number of folks got screwed over by the poor guidance at the beginning but not 5k people. The bulk of the ineligibles were just throwing up a prayer hoping they could sneak out, clogging up the system for those of us who are ACTUALLY eligible per the guidance. Probably a bunch of SFS and MX guys to be honest. I'll bet there were less than 200-300 pilots who applied, though we may never know. I'm anxiously awaiting my own TERA approval too but cut the grunts some slack here. Take 10000 pieces of paper and lay them out on the floor in front of you and tell me how quickly you could get through them to make critical life decisions for each of them if you had 50 people working with you, let alone the 15-20 guys they ACTUALLY have working in the R&S branch at AFPC.

Bunch of f**king clowns. Any flag worth his stars would unilaterally shut this migration down until later this year.

Trickle of TERA approvals and a couple of VSP approvals today online. Only NCOs as far as I can tell. No officers.

Go to Facebook and search for Air Force Retirements. It's an open page. Can't miss it. He has since said he knows 4 guys who got notified today.

Some dude on the retirement FB page just posted his TERA approval email. 15 yr TSgt. Said he got it an hour ago or so.

New FAQ came out last night. It's FOUO so can't post it. It does say that VSP and TERA applicants will be notified nlt 2 wks after the app window closes. What happened to NLT 1 Apr? It's loaded with date TBD all over the place too. What a ing joke.

UPT is not listed as a waiverable ADSC in the PSDMS. Why are people still getting wrapped around that axle? I can't understand the straw grasping at this unambiguous fact. If/when they make it waiverable it's not going to be a secret and won't require any sleuthing to figure out. Frankly all the folks who fired off applications for VSP who were clearly not eligible are just slowing down the process for those that are.

Same here, except the Lt Col part. They need to pull the trigger though. I've got a job waiting in the wings and it's a real pisser not being able to give them a firm start date. One thing that's unclear though. I know they waived the 120 day lead time to apply for retirement, but are they going to enforce the 120day lead time required before starting PTDY/Terminal? I've got 93 days of leave and that would put me into the last week of April just to start terminal, let alone another 20days permissive which would basically lay me down in like 3 weeks or so. I can't imagine they are going to be able to enforce the 120days for TERA guys with the compressed timeframes we will be operating in. Most of us got eligibility approved at the end of Jan, which puts us at the end of May for the 120 days. I'm trying to start work on day 1 and draw 2 pay checks for 3 months. If I have to wait until 30 May or whatever to start the new job that will cost me a bunch of money and force me to sit around staring at my computer screen for another 2 months.

Countless amounts of blood? Really?

Dat shit is gangsta.

Getting frustrated as F with this process. Mine has said CC COORD COMPLETE since 30 Jan but no status change since then. I see other put in some batch processing hold and shit and now they ate being validated while mine seems to still be collecting dust. Send an email no reply. Call TFSC and they can't actually do anything and no responding r&s. I know they are slammed but I feel like I'm getting the fn Heisman here. Another guy in my unit is in the exact same boat. This is a huge cluster.

What a f°°°ing joke. Absolute joke. I'm stalling on an interview for what's essentially a guaranteed job while I wait to firm up my retirement date. I've got over 90 days of terminal leave I'll need to take. These idiots shouldn't have opened this shit up all the way back in December before they had a clue.
