I read that USAA has completely different support teams depending on your region and what type of customer they see you as, in addition to the different product-based teams That might explain some of the variation people see. I've had nothing but problems dealing with their auto insurance folks in the southwest. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Jan 15, 2020 |

How does setting a separation date work? The AFI isn't particularly helpful. From what I gather, there's a 6-month minimum window between your application and your earliest separation date, which the USAF can overrule if desired. What's the maximum date I can set it to? Does using the 7-day option affect what dates you can pick? I'd like to time things so that I can finish my degree this year but I'll be on the VML in a couple weeks. I either pull the trigger then or use the 7-day option.

Hotel Kpro posted:So let's say I have dual citizenship. I'm guessing there's no way they'll let me keep my second citizenship for a top secret clearance if I wanted some government job on base. And if that's the case would it be worth it give up Canadian citizenship? I kinda like the idea of being able to move to Canada on a moment's notice They will ask you to renounce your dual citizenship but it’s not technically a disqualifier. It will take forever to get adjudicated.

Kranrev posted:Anybody else completely screwed by this plague situation? I was supposed to outprocess for PCS this week. Instead I'm stuck in an AirBnB while pulling shifts doing viral nasal swabs in the pandemic tent with lovely PPE. That’s pretty well screwed. The base couldn’t put you up in lodging? Mine has been doing that for the essential medical personnel.

Every USAF thing I complain about seems insanely petty but I still cannot wait until I get out and find a job where I'm not emotionally brow-beaten for not being a proper wingman to some dipshit who can't do his training courses on time

Hey folks I've got a couple separation questions: 1) Separation orders aren't issued until 60 days from the separation date or less, but DPS won't let me schedule a move without orders. Is there a way to get that waived with an approved separation date or do I truly have to wait until I have the orders in hand? 2) My separation date is 4 Dec. I was originally planning to start terminal leave on 5 Oct, but I got a referral for shoulder surgery and 30 days of convalescent leave starting 19 Sep. Are there any issues I should expect rolling my convalescent leave into my terminal leave? I expect I'll have to leave a gap in there to do unit outprocessing/final out.

I’m going to use as much as I can. I’ll be moving across the country and starting a new job so I need all the time I can get.

What does the “AF Form 2587, Security Termination Form” do? I already have my contractor job lined up and my clearance crossed over, so I assume this is just terminating my ability to access stuff on the military side but the anxious part of my brain is worried about messing something up.

Arc Light posted:Yes, that's exactly it. I was a security manager for years and I processed probably a hundred of those. You were previously read in to a certain level of access, and now that access is revoked. It doesn't affect your clearance, just indicates that you have been briefed that you are no longer authorized to access (or talk about) whatever classified materiel you were previously exposed to. Standard for PCS or separation. I think my confusion with that explanation is that I'll be working with the same materiel in my new job. Sounds like I'll just need to be re-briefed to the compartments I need, though, which the company will hopefully do during onboarding.

I appreciate the advice, guys. I’m a little paranoid over this stuff because I have a security manager who threatened to cancel my clearance renewal last year because he heard I might be getting out so now I just assume everyone’s out to get me.

Ragaman posted:Yuuuup that’s the same issue I have, and the Air Force doctors said the exact same thing “you’re hearing is fine!” Ok thanks rear end in a top hat! High five, terminal buddy I’m in the BDD too but I didn’t get to have complete exams for everything because I had shoulder surgery right before leaving. I’m hoping they’ll still give me a rating and I can go back and get the shoulder exams later.

Godholio posted:The guy who managed the last major round of force shaping (which was kind of a shitshow) is now in charge of that whole organization. Combining that with high retention due to covid-based economic concerns and the impending elimination/reduction of retention bonuses in many career fields, I predict that we'll see a bunch of folks getting the boot within a year and as usual, PT scores will be a major deciding factor on who stays and who goes. If they really wanted to get a head start they'd keep the waist measurement for April but I guess even they can see that plan might be a little too aggressive.
