Stop-Loss

Is this going to spread?

FL510GV,

I just read that AMC stop loss message you posted on the other thread. Is this for real? (excerpt from message)

"When SLW requests on operational personnel (to include: air traffic
> controllers, airfield managers, aviators, air transporters, command and
> control operators, etc.) are NOT hardships and are individuals considered
> excess to unit needs (field commanders/staff directors recommend waiver
> approval), these individuals MAY be used to fill other AMC operational
> requirements. This could mean a TDY tasking to wherever the mission
> requirement exists (gaining unit pays TDY costs)"

Sounds a little like blackmail or flat out threat. If this spreads to the other MAJCOMs, we are all in trouble. By the way, I am in AETC.

Can the JAG do anything?

Has anyone gone and talked to the JAG about any legal loophole to get out? I have seperation orders/pending stop loss, and I am just looking for anyway to escape.

The JAG works for the Wing/CC, so I am sure any loop holes will be covered. Likewise, Wing/CC takes his lead from NAF, if they have no clue, neither will anyone below their level.

Legal Loophole not likely

I gotta go with Aplus on this one. I don't think the JAG will be much help. If they are getting this confrontational over stop loss waivers, I think the only thing that is going to do any good is a call to the Distinguished Gentleman/Lady for your area. I haven't gotten to that point because I'm hesitant to highlight myself and I'm trying to keep a positive attitude. That msg from AMC didn't do much for my positive attitude. Any others out there considering a letter/phonecall and do you think it would do any good?
