7. Someone was unprepared

My understanding, as I've had an application sitting around for weeks awaiting approval, is that we don't know what criteria will determine an approved/denied application... and now AFPC is trying to mold the criteria to the huge number of Airmen taking the offer.

So, now they are supposedly going to approve those of us with less time left on our enlistments, and retain those who reenlisted shortly before the program was announced (pay people not to reenlist, apparently).

That might explain why the PSDM says that applications will not be handled on a first come first served basis.

I hope they can hurry, some people will have alot of terminal leave to burn up before 29 Sep and AFPC can take at least eight weeks to make a determination, giving some a month to separate.
