Expectation management?

"Secretary expects personnel cuts to be less severe than previously estimated"

We were also told that folks would be let go voluntarily, and that didn't happen. We were told twice passed folks would basically not be denied TERA, and that didn't happen. I'm not holding my breath on this one given the overall dismal outlook for the FY15 proposal and the fact it has little chance of passing congress as is. I'll believe this one when I see it.

anyone else's VSP application say referred to "AFPC Voluntary Separation BPO"? Mine changed a few hours ago.

Yep. As of this past Friday, CMA shows my application has moved to "AFPC Voluntary Separation Pay Office".

Asked a buddy who was denied VSP (UPT ADSC). Apparently that's the last stop before a decision is made. Also, did you notice how I used three abbreviations in a row there?

How was your buddy notified his application was denied? Email from AFPC or notified by CC?

He got an email from AFPC. You know, the standard impersonal "GFY" we're all expecting.

i wonder why some of us with UPT ADSCs have already been denied while others have not...

The only ones I see that haven't been denied yet are the ones still sitting at the Squadron or Wing Commander signature stage. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think everyone that has been Referred to BPO has been denied already?

Wrong, mine's been through the Sq and Wg, recommend approval at both, referred to BPO, now just today, referred to AFPC Voluntary Separation Pay.

So what're your stats? AFSC? Year group? ADSC? Zodiac sign? I'm a TERA hopeful, but your status sounds hopeful, and I'm sure lots of folks would like to know that stuff. Hell, I'm curious too. Also, keep us updated. You could be the first success story in this 81-page thread.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Know someone who had less than a week left on their UPT ADSC and was denied and another with less than 2 months on their UPT ADSC that was denied. Both applied on the first day of the application window and found out last week.

Also, with the commercial equivalent, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10, seeing less service, fewer replacement parts would be available for the KC-10.

Totally makes sense. Good thing Boeing been keeping those 707 flying so parts stayed on the shelves.

Rumor mill is that -10 MX are running out of the computer [bCU?] that control the boom, which is all fly-by-wire.

I guess they didn't make enough of them for the DC-10.

This is what CMS shows for me now too. When I go through vMPF, self-service actions, separations and "view my application" though it still says "Referred to BPO".

They were supposed to have already replaced the BCUs two years ago, but funding got cut, IIRC.
