OK, he's in sanctuary. While his job in Del Rio may go away, he'll be able to retire when he reaches 20.
PM me if he's worried about retiring; I'm friends with the Wing CC at DLF.

Default 11R's on hold

I'm a 1998 HC-130 guy and have heard that they are putting a hold on submitted VSP packages to reevalute the numbers. Anyone heard of this with any other AFSC?

8 of 8 approved at LTS, 1 of 20 approved at TCM. WTFO? Now I'm getting non-vol orders to LTS waived over my head to fill a "critical shortage" of IPs there. Go figure! Once again the AF has screwed up another manning program. If we flew airplanes like the rest of the AF does their job we'd crash an aiplane a week!

I just hope I get picked up on the new round ov VSP cuts before I have to 7 day opt out and loose my chance at the free money. But hey, maybe if I go to LTS my VSP will get approved! It's a race agains time, the clock is ticking.

BTW...Funny how there seems to be a lot of C-17 guys in this thread.

Living the dream one busted SRT at a time.

Wingnut...did you happen to meet up with one of your tanker buds on the ramp at Ramstein a month or so ago?

8 of 8 approved from LTS??? Maybe this has to do with their MPF opening up at 2300 on 30 July (a Sunday) making it happen for their guys. Our MPF didn't lift a finger (although they’ll tell you their bending over backwards for us). Told everyone to, “make an appointment and we'll fit you in if we can!” I hear your pain my friend.

Any more rumors out there on this latest delay? This “revalidating the revalidated numbers” wouldn’t surprise me. I wonder if someone is afraid to pull the trigger since there’s no recovery plan if they chop too many.

Nope...Wasn't me. I have been deployed "Downrange" for the last 3 months.

So the new rumor today is AMC applicants were notified of their approvals yesterday and today. Can anyone confirm this? Has AFPC released 11M approvals for this latest round?

Yeah, I've heard from two buddies today (1 at TCM, 1 at WRI) that approvals are coming down. I haven't heard anything from either MPF or AFPC, though. Sitting at ramstein with my fingers crossed, checking my email every 5 minutes. Brutal!

dazdandconfused- I haven't spent any time at CHS yet. I did C-21s at Offutt before coming to TCM in 05.
