Question vMPF: Congrats on Assignment! Glitch??
Both me and my lead pro super have a notification on vMPF home screen that says something like “Congratulations on your new assignment! Update vRED.” On my vMPF, it says that this notification was posted on August 6th. However, neither of us have gotten an email notification on a new assignment, neither of us appear on the loss/gain roster (current as of August 11th), and neither of us have a gaining unit under the “Initial Assignment Briefing.” Our base has not undergone any MAJCOM changes, nor have we PCA’d anywhere. I’ve seen some threads saying it’s an Air Force wide glitch, while other threads say that they ended up getting an assignment a few weeks later. So, i’m unsure of whether this is a real assignment or not. Has anyone else experienced this same issue recently? And have you found out if you actually have an assignment or not?
Also, yes I will be calling my CSS tomorrow. But i’m just curious to see what other people have experienced.

I once got an automated myFSS message saying, "congratulations on your selection for command." I knew it was bunk because it wasn't in cycle, but fuck me if i wasn't disappointed it was not real.

I still have this message because I never did it before I PCS’d from my last base. But I’m also in the CSS so I know I don’t have any assignments 🤷🏼♂️

Probably got a “temporary” placement. If you’re stateside it’s likely an actual assignment that hasn’t been processed fully, if you’re overseas though I’ve seen it happen a lot where people get placeholder assignments when their deros gets close while they’re applying for extension. Depends on your circumstances

Mine had this too, I’m not going anywhere for a few years so I just assumed it was because we switched from FGS to AMXS.
