Now, if you can PROVE beyond a reasonable doubt that you are being singled out because you showed your hand, then that is a completely different animal.
As it stands, and it hurts me to say this, but you will just be wasting your breath. Just keep in mind, and it's something I learned many assignments ago, is to not burn ANY bridges on your way out the door. You never know when you need to use that bridge again....
It will be a complaint regarding the way they handled this entire situation and released information that was incorrect that people were supposed to use to make life/career decisions. I gave up time with my family over the holidays just before I left on a deployment to go talk to Guard/Reserve units and get the ball rolling with them. Just think of all the guys that bought plane tickets and hotels to go interview with Guard/Reserve units after AFPC published overages and numbers for given year groups and made it clear those people were eligible for the RIF and would be eligible to VSP. Luckily my Commander has been nothing, but supportive throughout this entire situation and I believe he will not hold this against me, but not all Commanders feel that way and no organization in the Air Force should be allowed to run like this. They need to be held accountable for their actions. Lord knows if I ran my crew and my jet the way AFPC runs things I would be at least looking at a Q3 if not an FEB or even worse a loss of life. Nothing may come of it and I'm not trying to burn any bridges, but I still feel something needs to be said and these clowns need to be held accountable for their buffonery. /Rant off
