JS57 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 It should depend on the tax bracket it puts you in. So, all of it won't necessarily be taxed at any one percent because of the marginal tax rate system. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
Dreamkiller43 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 The finance guys told me that big blue automatically takes 25% of it for taxes. You have no choice. Now what you actually pay out of it at the end of the year depends on your particular situation...obviously. If anyone knows of a way to get the AF to NOT take that chunk out automatically, please let us know.
FLY6584 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 And does anyone know if the FY15 VSP Payment will count towards the 2014 or 2015 tax year if our separation date is 31 December? I know it won't be paid out until mid January, but will they do an amended W-2 to account for it as 2014 Income?
Fuzz Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I thought he was screwing with everyone when he said he was approvedgood for him, though. I didn't know he had applied, and was surprised that he got it.
Napoleon_Tanerite Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Hope may not be lost! My AFSC/YG was still blue on the latest matrix, so I asked my CC to check up on it. Long story short, I was told to reapply. The waiting game begins anew! Edited July 25, 2014 by Napoleon_Tanerite
Napoleon_Tanerite Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I'll keep you guys posted. I understand the window is closed, but I resubmitted a VSP app via the same process as before. Not sure if that's what they were referring to when they said I could reapply, but the worst they're going to tell me is no (again).
Maestro Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 TERA approved! '97 continued Maj. 12B, but currently T-1s. ADSCs waived: 18 mos GI Bill transfer, 15 mos T-1 qual training.
Napoleon_Tanerite Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 My issue has been referred to the Air Staff. Fingers crossed for VSP above the zone!
JS57 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Did your CC tell you to reapply or was it AFPC? I didn't know that was even possible. Posted from the NEW Baseops.net App!
Champ Kind Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Napoleon, can others that were disapproved reapply in the same fashion you are, or do you have some unique circumstances?
Napoleon_Tanerite Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Napoleon, can others that were disapproved reapply in the same fashion you are, or do you have some unique circumstances? Not sure. I'm not even sure if VSP is what I was told to re-apply for. The issue is that AFTER they sent me my denial they distributed a new matrix that supposedly reflected all the VSP approvals. My YG/AFSC was still blue, so that's what got the BS flag in the air. I think it REALLY helps that I have a Sq/CC who is going to bat for me. One disgruntled Capt bitching about not getting what he wanted is quibbling, but a LtCol who stands to lose one of his people and is still willing to fight on my behalf I believe has allowed this door to open, even if it is nothing more than false hope.
Azimuth Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 TERA approved! '97 continued Maj. 12B, but currently T-1s. ADSCs waived: 18 mos GI Bill transfer, 15 mos T-1 qual training. What kind of Qual does a Nav get in a T-1?
Napoleon_Tanerite Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 What kind of Qual does a Nav get in a T-1? IN
Dupe Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 What kind of Qual does a Nav get in a T-1? The fact that there is an ADSC at all for this is just insane.
Dupe Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Don't fight the scenario, brah. Congrats on the retirement! Thanks for serving! The fact that there's an ADSC for being a P'cola instructor CSO that's anything more than just a PCS ADSC should go in the "What's wrong w/ the AF" thread.
schokie Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 That should be waived anyway for most folks. I can't remember the AFI off the top of my nugget, but you can refuse any ADSC for formal flying training that takes you beyond your initial commitment from UPT/UNT. Ops check good for FTU instructor course I'm currently in. Suck it 3 year ADSC!
xaarman Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Does refusing to sign force you to separate at the end of your ADSC?

Ops check good for FTU instructor course I'm currently in. Suck it 3 year ADSC! Not 100% accurate. No additional ADSC for upgrade in the same aircraft. Change aircraft (complete initial qual training) and gain the ADSC.
chim richalds Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Does refusing to sign force you to separate at the end of your ADSC? yes, otherwise nobody would ever sign them.
xaarman Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Well, you could just turn down the training, not get whatever upgrade it is, and carry on living your life, but it seems that is not the case.
HerkHauler Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Kinda late post but it took me a while to get registered here. 06' 11M non volled to RQ-4's, currently in the middle of RQ4 training -- APPROVED! 4yrs left on pilot training ADSC, 3yrs for retraining to RQ4's, PCS ADSC, and 4yr ADSC for tranfering GI Bill. Never thought I had a chance. To spread some info, I read through the initial separation briefing and that left me more confused than informed. To top the list, under the Transportation and Travel section, it says -"you will NOT be entitled to full travel pay if any of the following apply.... Failed to complete 90 percent of your agreed-upon intial period of service....... or Discharged as a commissioned officer with more than 8 years of continuous active duty..." I called AFPC and the guy I talked to intially told me since I volunteered for separation, I didn't get any benefits. After freaking out, I told him to cite the reference and then he looked it up and said he was wrong. When I asked him about the two examples I just mentioned, he said the 90% thing only applies to enlisted service agreements, not ADSC's and that the "Discharged" part was refering to other than honorable discharge. With everything else AFPC has screwed up, I don't trust there phone reps. Can anyone clarify how a lawyer would interpret this... Edited July 27, 2014 by HerkHauler
chim richalds Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) whats your question? If you're wondering if tmo will move you where you want, then the 8 year mark is where i believe it changes from home of selection/record. Your separation orders will be marked which one they will do. If you want to move somewhere other than home of record, then you shell out the difference it costs the gov'ment. If you want info on TAMP, do a search. Edited July 27, 2014 by chim richalds
