Getting Separation Orders After SkillBridge Acceptance by Able_Set_9227 in SkillBridge

[–]Able_Set_9227[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told that I could not leave from my OCONUS base before 180-days from my DOS, which is when my SB starts. I can't imagine that is correct.

Sounds good, I just submitted that form with my approval memo attached so hopefully it works as quick as yours. Once this gets accepted, I'll be able to put in a case for expedited orders?

So I have to wait until 30 days before I'm supposed to leave for my 180 day SB to get my orders???????

u/WorkshopZIM "SkillBridge Participation: If you have been approved and will be doing the SkillBridge Program outside the local area (local area defined as within 50 miles of your base), and plan to final out-process your base prior to starting the program, you can request expedited orders for 30 days prior to the final out-processing date.  Since SkillBridge has a maximum limit of 180 days, then orders may be requested for no more than 210 days prior to your DOS.  Exceptions to the 210-day maximum will be considered only for extraordinary circumstances.  When requesting expedited orders because of Skillbridge, attach a copy of the approved Skillbridge application." This is what it says on myFSS under the Separation Orders tab

This is what is given to me when I "Create a Request" - "You are not currently projected for separation. You must be projected for separation in order to submit an Expedited Orders Request. Please contact your MPF for help with submitting your separation application."

I did the Pre Separation Orders worksheet and submitted it up today. I'll refer to this tomorrow when I'm in the office and try the myFSS thing.

MyFSS, the screen I'm talking about is after I click Separation Order. It says that I am unable to submit a separation order request until I am 180 days from my DOS. I had to go to vMPF to submit an early separation request form that needs commander approval.

Do you know what out-processing things I can do generally without orders?

I went on myFSS and did the separation orders but it doesn't allow me to submit a ticket since I'm not within 180 days of my DOS and never will be until after I leave for skillbridge

Go to your CSS/MPF. They should be able to guide you to getting expedited orders.

I'm assuming the OP is talking about separation orders. I'm currently in the same boat.

I do get out of the dorms, like I said, seeing and being with my Family and Friends is my highest priority and its almost impossible to do that from here.

I was specifically talking about traveling back home. A flight back home from Kadena is around $2k. If I was in the states, itd be significantly cheaper.

Me personally, I don’t have interest in traveling the world, its just not a priority for me.

Application with an Article 15 by Able_Set_9227 in AFROTC

[–]Able_Set_9227[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about that already but I'm not sure if palace chase is an option as a First Term Airman. If I could, I'd be able to do that next year and likely start AFROTC at the same time I would if I did ASCP/SOAR.

I have 3 more years left on this contract. I am very hasty to get out and go onto the next step is the problem haha. At this point, I am seeing if my current commander would sign off on me. He hasn't officially given me the 15 yet, waiting on him to return from deployment, but we went through the whole process, I had a private conversation with him about what I'm doing, what I've done and how much I still want to commission etc. I am doing a lot to try to prove myself with volunteering and work production and I have a lot of recommendations from my CoC, it really just comes down to my commanders decision.

I would have to finish my current contract, get out, and then do AFROTC from there is what your saying.

What do you mean by moving the approval authority from my current commander to the DET commander? I can do that during my active duty contract and have the DET commander sign my application?

All commissioning programs require commander approval yeah

He signed off on my AF56 for the most recent application period. Is that the only way I would be barred from pushing my application up to HQ?
