Good luck! AFPC will probably laugh at you for asking.
The Air Force is paying the current year group $125k to stay in for 5 more years or $125K to get out. The AF is looking for ways to get rid of guys. I wouldn't be surprised if AFPC is handing out assignments hoping people would 7 day opt out of it and give the AF an excuse to separate them. A friend of mine turned down ACSC, after he specifically said he didn't want to go to school, and they told him he has to separate by 1 September. This guy wanted to stay in for 20 years, but like I said, they are likely looking for ways to get guys out.

They're giving the bonus and the VSP to the same year group? I've heard of manpower alignments to give a retention bonus to one year group because they are short and VSP to another year group because they are fat, but not both at the same time to the same year group. That's just madness!!! Don't tell the NY Times about that!
