When you originally applied did they say you were approved or that you were eligible to apply? I was told that I was eligible by AFPC... then needed to get online and request to see if I was eligible again. 4-5 days later I got another e-mail saying I was eligible and could then fill out the retirement application. That was last Tuesday and haven't heard back yet.

Man, sorry to hear about the bait and switch! I have a feeling this is going to be a trend...
