BNUT who did you hear it from?
There are two separate issues

1. Paying VSP back if you get an AGR position
2. Paying VSP back if you serve long enough in the Guard/Reserve to get retirement benefits.

The 2nd issue was part of the initial deal that everyone agreed to. The 1st was not. So a guy may have been thinking "I'll take the VSP and then get the AGR slot for 5/6 years and then be done". The AF is now saying that if you do that then you have to pay the VSP back...that was not part of the original deal...
