The plan was to switch the entire wing over to OCPs this summer, but that was far-fetched from the beginning and it won't be happening. As it is now, the firsties received one pair of OCPs to wear after they graduate, and the plan is to switch everybody over at once at a later time (maybe next...

If you have USAA they have really great deals.

If somebody procrastinated and didn’t finish all the forms until today, is that going to be an issue? Not that anybody would do that... *cough cough*

Averages are available online. Compare yourself to those.

Not required. That is required on the other PPC (9IW, I believe). No PPC is required for us.

You shouldn't have to. IIRC there is somewhere to check off that you're prior enlisted on your portal on the SF-86 part so you don't have to do it again. Otherwise, just print it off from PRDA.

We shouldn't have any PPC. After I finally convinced them that this PPC is wrong and they confirmed with the Academy, they altered my RIP and still had 9IT on there! My orders got pushed out anyways so it doesn't matter at this point.

This is an error made by AFPC and it's frankly ridiculous. 9IT is the PPC for MTAs at the Academy (The DSD for instructors). You do not need to extend. You only need one year of retainability. Talk to your MPF and tell them that your PPC is wrong. I had to go through this same thing and they...

Depends on what your priorities are I suppose. If you're planning on staying in for 20 years, you're looking at around $1000 less per month from your pension, and let's not forget that you can't start making withdraws from your TSP until age 59 1/2. That's 20 years of missing out on 1k/month for...

As of 2018, everybody entering the DoD is automatically enrolled into the BRS and will immediately start receiving 1% of their base pay contributed by the government into the TSP. The only outliers you will see here are people who were prior enlisted and chose to stay with the High 3. Everybody...

For number two... where are you getting this information? I have seen some old threads about this topic but according to the USAFA website, "You will accept an appointment and serve as a commissioned officer in the Air Force for at least eight years after graduation, five of which must be active...

"you no longer have to stay 20 to get a pension" That's not true. The DoD has been using the Thrift Savings Plan since around 2001 (the 401k). The difference with the Blended Retirement System is that the government will now match up to five percent of your base pay per month into the TSP...

My MPF finally got my assignment notification from AFSC this last Friday. Once you get that, you'll get a checklist from you MPF to complete before they will give you your orders as well as your Enlisted Assignment Notification RIP which will include info about your gaining unit and Personnel...

The DoD has offered a 401K (the Thrift Savings Plan) for some time now, but the change that the BRS implements is that the government will now match up to 5% of your base pay in the TSP traditional IRA only (even though your contribution can go into either the roth, traditional, or both). You...

@TheAlmightyZeus What Personnel Processing Code (PPC) did you have on your assignment RIP?

Speaking as somebody that's enlisted and will be in the Class of 2022.. Get a bunch of pairs of sage green Under Armor knee-length socks. They are expensive but well worth it in the long run. As for your question... I can't say for sure during BCT, but any other time that would be fine...

Did they actually populate in vMPF or did you actually go in to MPF to talk to them? Mine still aren't populated in vMPF and I've gone in like three or four times already. As for the name calling... a little bit, but I just keep the joke going and say "It's Cadet-Select WinstonWolfePF to you...

... anybody get orders yet?

Nope. I was hoping I'd have orders this week, but I still don't...
