P.S. As far as all the attacks on those taking VSP and getting out. How is it disloyal to the Air Force for signing up for something they want you to do?
Just a thought!

When people decide that it's time for them to get out, I just say "thanks for your service".
Just by taking the oath, you're all ready doing more for your country than the vast majority of the rest of the American citizen population.
Once your ADSC is up...you've paid your dues, and if you wanna move on to something else in your life have at it...and thanks for your service.

It means nothing. Approval authority has been taken away from your unit during these Force Shaping programs and approval comes from the Chief of Staff. If it were up to WG/CC's to approve/disapprove packages during Force Shaping, the AFPC would never separate the numbers they need because most commanders won't approve it. My WG/CC disapproved my paperwork last week. I'll let you know if it mattered in a few weeks.
True? I don't know, but how bad do you want to get out after shooting yourself in the foot for even considering PC and then getting denied.

This reshaping isn't always a good thing. I flew with a Captain the other day. He was just flying as a civilian with me he wanted to build some time. He's 2yrs away from retirement and it's very possible he is going to be a vicitm of this force reshaping bit. He has given the military 18yrs of his life and will get NO retirement. Yes he will get some money but the retirement would have greatly outweighed it.

Letter for Waiver
It was nothing special. Just a simple letter requesting a waiver to the ADSC to participate in the VSP program. Standard memo for record type. I read some others that people wrote. One had a bunch of info about how he served in deployments to xxx. Another one included info about needing to separate due to death in the family. I just made mine simple saying here is my ADSC date and I need it waived because the VSP program won't allow me to separate after 29 Sep 07.
Oh and I added the line about taking part in the VSP was in line with the "needs of the Air Force".
