SCRIMP Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 PC submitted finally! W11H. I asked for 5.5 months off of UPT ADSC. Package submitted with intent to hire letter and CC recommendation.
baller06 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Finally submitted as well. About 5 months off PCS ADSC with a hire letter and position number.
I don't exist Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 PC app just made it to SAF with approvals from everyone so far, intent to hire letter and training date. Cutting 3 months off PCS ADSC. how long is SAF taking these days?

I submitted back in November. I have CMS access and was able to track it and ping the places that slow rolled it. Also, I asked for a 30 Mar 18 separation date to make the training date the unit requested for me.
I don't exist Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 AFPC says expect 8-12 weeks at SAF. This means I won’t make the training date my gaining unit had for me.
Guardian Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Don’t be in such a hurry to train. Will your gaining unit still gain you? Then chill. Don’t do much because they probably won’t have much for you to do. Then go to training at a later date. I’m sure you can work it to be on orders so you are still getting paid.

I don't exist Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Yesterday they said wait 8-12 weeks. Today I got tentative approval to Palace Chase with my chosen separation date.
Nohbdy Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 I'm applying for PC tomorrow on vMPF, with the intention of going to UPT with the ANG. Quick question, is there anything specific that should be in the intent to hire letter which could help with chances / speed of a decision being made? It looks like I have to apply for a separation date 180 days out, but normally hear of a decision ~3 months after submission? I need to do it right the first time because if this doesn't get approved, I'll have to wait until my ADSC is up and then I'll be 30+ (another waiver). @I don't exist, who are the signatures / contacts that I should periodically query to push things along? Looks like you found a way to chunk 8-12 weeks down to one day... Thanks. 1

Looks like you found a way to chunk 8-12 weeks down to one day... If you don’t have CMS access, become friends with someone that does so you can see where your app is. Various levels of command and AFPC, specifically your functional. I have to believe that mine was an anomaly. I don’t know why it took such little time. For the record, my app was pushed as if I’m non-rated (long story). That may have helped. My intent to hire letter was very basic.
Nohbdy Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 @I don't exist, thanks! Did you apply for a separation date 180 days out? I heard today that 90 is possible, but may get rejected and require you to restart.
I don't exist Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 @Nohbdy I applied 135 days before my requested separation date (Nov 17) and got approved 30 Jan for a 30 March separation. My question is, how long will it take AFRC to gain me? I have a 4 May training date I’d like to make.
jaygebee Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 My recruiter is telling me for rated jobs (got offered a pilot sponsorship) an intent to hire letter is not sufficient and you must be board approved within 45 days of application submittal. Can anyone confirm this? I haven't seen this anywhere.

Active duty non rated looking to transfer into the reserves via palace chase to fill a unit sponsored upt slot. I'm referring to the AFRC rated board that occurs every two months now.

I don't exist Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 @jaygebee I don’t have a good answer for that. I didn’t have to compete for a UPT slot because I had been previously rated. I would think that if the unit is hiring you with the intent to send you to UPT you would not have to meet the AFRC board. Am I missing something?
goingkinetic Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Anyone know if they board everyone once your App has made it to SAF/PC. The AFPC rep said the board meets twice a month Applied Nov 15 Made it to SAF PC Feb 5 with all recomending approval. Requested 6 months, May 9th. At this point I wouldn’t be suprised if they approved and only gave me two weeks to try and get my orders together.
goingkinetic Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 This might be useful for someone fighting with MPF. From the current JTR 051002. Service Member Separates or is Released from Active Duty, Excluding a Discharge with Severance or Separation Pay I. Service Member Contracts with an RC. A Service member who separates from active duty to continue military service through a signed contract in an RC, may be authorized PCS travel and transportation allowances through the Secretarial Process to the designated Selected Reserve PDS, instead of limiting costs to the HOR or the PLEAD. (page 5(1)B-33) This means I get PCS allowances to my new reserve duty station RC = Reserve Component, which includes the Air Force Reserve, see page A-42 1
SCRIMP Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 06 W11H. Palace chase has been approved all the way up through AFPC. Front office thinks I should get official notification without issue in a couple of weeks. I’m very surprised it has gone this well so far. Best of luck to others trying. Luckily our functional is shit hot. 3
Duck Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Congrats brother! Does anyone have any experience getting cleared through the ARC/SGP to Palace Chase with a C-1 Limitation (Shellfish Allergy)? I’m assuming they mean the Guard units’ SGP and not the overall ANG/SGP.
Herkasaurus Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Just heard a buddy say that he had 2 place chases approved in his squadron in the last 5 days. Dude #1 requested almost a year off his ADSC. UPT complete, but it was a PCS or training ADSC or something. Dude #2 requested 16 months off ADSC for GI Bill. That one was approved by AFPC, some stipulation allowed it to remain at that level and not go to SAF. Strike while the iron is hot!! -Herk
baller06 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I'm guessing the GI Bill is because it is really a service commitment. Reserves, Guard, AD are all eligible. If you're worried about the 4 years after signing, separate and transfer once in the Guard or Reserves. I had 5 months off my PCS ADSC approved. I'm not in my career field but am going back so they are, "unexpectedly happy to have me back." -verbiage from the functional." Only about 48 days from submittal to initial notification. Just finishing up the 1288 details from my Reserve Unit.Good luck everyone!Anyone with experience of getting a mortgage approved during transition PM please.
isuguy1234 Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I see some PCS PC packages being approved on here. Anybody know of any “advanced flying training” ADSCs that take u slightly past the original UPT ADSC being approved to go to a guard/reserve unit TFI style?
