I don't reccommend trying to get a hold of him personally, even my wing execs didn't get a response for two weeks!
As for the TFCSD, each year's PSDM has a different date that is based on and clarifies the requirements in the AFI. I know several people who successfully had these waivers written and it wasn't an issue for them. If you're want more details pm me your .mil address and I can send you their ETP memos. It has the format, signature routing, etc. I'm sure your sq/og execs will appreciate you giving them a good product to review :)
