ADSC for using AF tuition assistance.

Palace Chase approved! I originally asked for a 1 Dec 2017 separation date (16 months off ADSC), but SAF/PC countered with a 1 Aug 2018 date (8 months off ADSC). Package sat with SAF/PC for just over 19 weeks. Just feel ecstatic to have normal life and work schedule soon.

Has anyone gotten any updates on the Palace Chase packages recently? I'm sitting at 16 weeks now at SAF/PC and haven't heard anything. My ISR says she has other packages that are waiting review at SAF/PC as well. Both ISR and AFPC say they can't get updates from SAF/PC. I let my chain of command know a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything. Are they any other avenues to get some update?

Congrats! Good to see that they're constantly going through packages. I have a December DOS date too, but mine was sitting SAF for 8 weeks now. Should hear something in the next few weeks. I'm also hoping the hurricane won't cause any delays to process packages

ISR got back with me today after talking with AFPC and they said SAF/PC is taking 12+ weeks on applications. Like others stated before, AFPC has no insight at the SAF/PC level. AFPC did offer a chance to push DOS to a later date there isn't enough time for outprocessing and terminal leave; it's not an issue for me since I still have 2 months since terminal starts and 4 months until DOS.

Not a pilot (17S) but this is one of the few forums where officers can get some actual info and data points on the Palace Chase process. Submitted package on 25 May, got to AFPC on 13 Jun, got to SAF/PC on 22 Jun, still pending decision (8 weeks). Recommended approvals from SQ/CC, WG/CC. Recommended disapproval from functional due to manning, even though we're 100% manned at the unit level. Asked for 16 months off for using tuition assistance, got intent to hire letter with a technician position offer, asking to go into a Guard unit with a high-demand mission. Anyone have info on how often the SAF/PC meets to review packages?
