guineapigfury Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 I've said it before and I'll say it again: Office Space is the most accurate film about the Air Force ever made. 2 2 5
BADFNZ Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Can anyone confirm that the AFRC bonus for TRs does not incur any sort of commitment? Our MPF is telling us no, and it's probably correct, but a lot of us are hesitant to sign because we're fresh off AD and know Big Blue will try to go in dry with no lube when you let your guard down. 1
Guardian Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Is it out yet? I would read and know it. Likely have to pay it back if you back out less than 2 years served on the bonus if it’s anything like the guard. But I would look at the reg.

Guardian Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Yeah. I think it has in the past required 2 years of full time orders min to qualify.
Guardian Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Looks like the guard still has a part time bonus for the FY21. Just published last week. New change to the guard, if you don’t serve your entire bonus commitment, you have to pay the whole thing back. Use to if you served at least 2 years of it, you wouldn’t have to pay any back. Looks like the reserve FY21 bonus is out as well. Check myPers

As in, I just do UTAs/AFTPs and I get a bonus? If we've already had this, then I'm gonna be pretty pissed that I missed out on this.
Guardian Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 No. DSG on orders bonus. This year min orders is one year for 15k.
Guardian Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 And i think you have to have specific orders. Like school house IP. Etc.

Ah ok, you had be confused with the "part-time" in there. My brain doesn't think part time for a guy on a year of orders, but it makes sense now. There was a rumor a few years ago about a true part time (not on orders) bonus. Never believed it would happen but you had me thinking I missed the boat on that. Ya the 15k bonus has been floating around and we have at least one guy on that with alert orders or maybe MPA days we get to train our AD wingmen.
Guardian Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Sorry. When I talk part timer I mean what job position they fill not how much they work. My bad. There is a DSG bonus for guys who pick up orders.

I just want to know if there is an ADSC, but not AD. Edit to add that this is only for certain airframes and locations. Edited March 24, 2021 by BADFNZ
slc Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Current AFRC TR 4 yr bonus taker here. Received first years 10k bonus in February (for last year). Can straight min run if i desire. AT, TP, UTA etc. No commitment. If i retire, i just lose out on current snd subsequent year bonus. I find it interesting (well not really) that this years bonus offering went down to 8k 1
Craftsman Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Heard an interesting pure rumor from leadership. There may be a VSP this fall for FGO types. Reasoning too many FGO’s. 🤔

CaptainMorgan Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Heard an interesting pure rumor from leadership. There may be a VSP this fall for FGO types. Reasoning too many FGO’s. I doubt there will be a VSP for pilots. Maybe other career fields, but the bonus take rate has been consistently lower than their stated goal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are 120% right now and AFPC has no intention of letting them x train.

Your core afsc doesn't change when you go to UPT. You are still an 11R on paper (and as it is, 11Rs are still filling a huge gap of UPT billets for the size community they are). So many of those manning overages on paper are pilots already assigned to UPT. Trust me, 11Rs have been filling their fair share of these for quite some time. Most recently to the detriment of the ops squadrons due to the AETC prohibition on AC waivers.

Are you taking about the “must be an AC with x number of hours” rule required for crew aircraft pilots to qualify for PIT, or something else w.r.t AC waivers?

Not the soul cause of problems, just a contributing factor. Anyway my overarching point is HAF/A1 rarely makes decisions that make any sense. Whether 11Rs are offered a VSP or not, I'm certain we are all going to be left jaw dropped wondering "why?" 1

From a friend at HAF, pilots are also planned to be cut in the VSP/RIF as they are “nothing special” The good news is that the airlines are starting to hire again
