    Haha so true. Rather keep you for 2 than let you fly for 10 #tinkercrushingdreams

    What does « staffing » mean?
  3. UPTDreamer
    Accurate, word has it, 5 days before Christmas, AFPC has closed down for the holidays. #selfish
  4. UPTDreamer
    Or... it could be all a trick and be announced sooner. Like when your parents told you, “you’re not getting any Christmas presents this year” yet you always did

    Same mentality man, though I already opted in. Yeah, if I do 20 I lose .5 percent, big whoop i have other investments and what not, If not picked up for active, guard and reserve and get it at normal retirement age anyway. I see myself working till I’m old anyway
  6. UPTDreamer
    Brutal man, but true. Easiest way to choose retirement plan is this, if you’re already considering it, you won’t do a full 20 even if you get picked up.
  7. UPTDreamer
    True, loving how the articles are the same if not worse than last year and still don’t give us the opportunity

    One person will be told to tell you an ambiguous timeline like from here to mid January everynow and then someone slips with the actual goal date. What you heard is prob close to the truth

    rumor has it a lot of current rated we’re selected this year, however functionals may not release the amount selected. I have started reaching out to reserve and guard units just in case
  12. UPTDreamer
    Anyone hear fresh updates? I know someone said final signatures Friday so I’m guessing it’s on the way to squadron commanders?
  13. UPTDreamer
    Great info! Did your source by chance mention how many slots were awarded this year?
  14. UPTDreamer
    Hopefully you’re right application good to go. The wait is on. best wishes everyone on receiving a great Christmas gift
  15. UPTDreamer
    Not to be a realist or negative, however rank was only a small factor last year. it seems more your over all package is what they are truly looking for. Additionally three of you being 1/1 , with an application window extension is a small sample of a possible larger viewpoint of small amount of applicants across the Air Force. Additionally a rumor of larger amount of slots than this past spring could lead one to assume to think rank will not matter as much
  16. UPTDreamer
    Apply and try. If you want it doesn’t matter the odds. It is better to try then to wonder what could of been. If anything you are getting experience in applying and what you need to be competitive. risk it to get the biscuit
  17. UPTDreamer
    Hopefully good news for everyone that applies! If you accomplish your PPL prior to the board meeting you can send it in separately. The board meeting deadline is usually hard set
  18. UPTDreamer
    With a little over a month and a half till deadline. Has anyone heard any rumors on how many they are picking up this year and why the board was moved up really early this year?
  19. UPTDreamer
    I understand that. I just don’t think he would be misleading and say he hasn’t received anything if he really did? Maybe the wing commander just hasn’t released it for some reason. I appreciate the insight though. Calms me down lol
  20. UPTDreamer
    When it mentions “Unit” commanders i assume that’s base commander? Because my squadron commander said he has received nothing hence why he reached out to the wing execs.
  21. UPTDreamer
    Our wing execs say they haven’t received the psdm yet.. and are “looking into it”. Very frustrating...
  22. UPTDreamer
    Nothing heard on my end as well. I don’t understand how one knows and not the others.... my apologies for elevated anticipation
  23. UPTDreamer
    Ok the bros are 2 navs from a buff squadron in Guam. They are currently in the middle of an exercise and it’s already tomorrow their time. So that makes sense why they and their commanders know already. They’ll let me know more if they get anything else. Sorry doesn’t put our hearts at ease. At least we know the list is out
  24. UPTDreamer
    Actually I keep being down voted trolled for trying to help. So ill just wish you all the best and let the guys crunching numbers and odds constantly fill you in lol. Best wishes to all
  25. UPTDreamer
    Im trying to pull more from the guys i heard that were told from their commanders such as how many slots were awarded for UPT. As soon as I know more I’ll post.
