brickhistory Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Where THE f*ck is congressman on this? Is he still a member of baseops? This should be a great follow-on to the VA buffoonery. Besides actually, you know, keeping faith with those who volunteered to serve, then volunteered to leave to help out the Air Force, this has tremendous political legs. If you are one such person being screwed, find a friendly Congress critter and b1tch and moan at volume 11. Find friendly press outlets. You have nothing to lose. Big Blue is happily making you turn one more trick, why not cry "rape?"
pawnman Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Could you be more specific? Also, getting a deployment cancelled highlights you for MEB consideration, which could be much longer than the deployment. Would they bother with an MEB for someone who already has a separation date?
Right Seat Driver Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Would they bother with an MEB for someone who already has a separation date? It depends. MEBs can be extremely messy, complicated, and very drawn out. I have known a few guys who waited 12-18 months for an answer.
OregonHerc Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Would they bother with an MEB for someone who already has a separation date? Yes they will, and they'll hold you indefinitely after your DOS until the conclusion. 1
deaddebate Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Would they bother with an MEB for someone who already has a separation date? Yes they will, and they'll hold you indefinitely after your DOS until the conclusion. You apparently don't know the extent to the bureaucracy in the MDG. Medical Hold is less common and more difficult than it once was, but it still happens to to at least one patient at every MTF every year. Last year, we had 6 cases that were considered for Medical Hold, 2 actually ended up staying beyond their original DOS. Enlisted have the option to waive the MEB/Med Hold--it's more complicated for Officers. Much is dependent on the condition and amount of evaluation already completed. In one unique case, I saw an M-RILO (Modified Review In Lieu Of Medical Evaluation Board) initiated, submitted, and adjudicated in one day. Very rare, but the condition was only for mild-mod sleep apnea. This is why I've posted multiple times that if you have a condition that might go to MEB, you should have reported it immediately, but if that accidentally slipped your mind, you ought to begin the evaluation 12-24 months before your DOS/DOR, NOT <30 days.
MSCguy Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 You can always ask for a DAV code 65 (cc's choice) to duck a deployment. That happens all the time in my MDG.
nsplayr Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Had a pilot buddy waiting so long for a decision on medical retirement he applied for FY14 VSP and was approved. That's how fucked up MEB bureaucracy is...VSP processing was faster!
BuffandTexanDriver Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) 2005 11M VSP Approved I just spoke with my Commander and he mentioned that the AF is discussing allowing VSP'ers to stay on AD until Mar-Apr to ease the pain. Has anyone else heard this? Has there been any more words/info on this. It would be nice to line up guard training to a DOS. Edited June 2, 2014 by BuffandTexanDriver
trav8933 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Has there been any more words/info on this. It would be nice to line up guard training to a DOS. My squadron is compiling a list of people interested in extending past 29 Sep to Feb-Mar timeframe. My CC is not sure where the request is coming from, obviously above him. I am at Randolph in a PIT squadron.
MooseAg03 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 This all makes a lot of sense. Those of us applying for FY15 VSP will have already separated by the above timeframe (31 Dec latest DOS). I wonder if these extensions will involve FY15 VSP as well.

My CC would absolutely support me delaying my separation as we will be crushed with the VSP departures.
gator2 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Does anyone have a copy of the original PSDM announcing the FY14 Programs? If you have all versions, that'd be extremely helpful. Thanks! Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
ball42 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Just the PSDMs, not the matrices? I'm sure I do. PM me. Does anyone have a copy of the original PSDM announcing the FY14 Programs? If you have all versions, that'd be extremely helpful. Thanks! Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
Kitten Mittens Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 So the original FY14 VSP apps had a closeout date of 1 May, and most approval emails were sent the 19th-ish…can we assume it'll be about 3 weeks in to Jul for the round of FY15 approval emails that close out 30 Jun…? Anyone with any insight to this?
stract Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 is there a reason why you posted this in both threads?
Kitten Mittens Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah, I didn't actually want an answer, I was just soliciting snide remarks. Actually, I wasn't sure if everyone followed both posts or if people dropped off once their VSP was approved and only us late submission sad souls were left... 2
Sthrndream Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Just got word that ESERB for 13B 2001-03 Year groups are closed.
AWAC'ER Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 The RIF for 13Bs is off. No longer an overage? Or, something else on the horizon?

Dubs Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 So I was one of those that applied for VSP when it was first offered, but was then tagged with a deployment as AFPC blew past deadline after deadline. I ended up getting approved for VSP with my original DOS (which would've required me to return early to make) while at my deployed location and my commander here and at my home-station unit pushed to have me come back early. I had separation orders in hand, a scheduled flight out of here, a CADR was submitted and my replacement would've been here a week from today, but AFPC was kind enough to send me an email yesterday saying they extended my DOS to the end of this year and that they told my leadership to turn off sending me home and sending my replacement out here. Awesome. It's getting harder and harder to care about an organization that obviously doesn't care about me.

audioflyer Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Just got approved for FY15 VSP. Who should I talk to about getting a DOS extension beyond 31 Dec?
FLY6584 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I'd say its the right thread considering most FY14 guys that were approved and were able to delay their separation date probably are not checking the FY15 thread or you could say any thread for that matter.
ucf_motorcycle Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Where can I find more info on delaying my DOS? I may be interested in this as my approval for VSP caught me a bit off guard.
