I have a few F-16 friends that were approved as well. Talking to the guys at AFPC, they said they blanket approve anyone who applies for PC 6 months out. Outside of 6 mo they look at them on a case by case basis. I think if you are asking for 8-9 months then you'll get approved. If you are within a year and you know you're getting out then just apply. All they can say is no.
