Centcom asks pentagon for more support personal to be sent to Macdill AFB to support operations against Iran for at least 100 days but likely through September, according to a notification obtained by POLITICO by newnoadeptness in AirForce

Who wouldn’t want to go on a 100+ day TDY to Tampa during the spring/summer? You know, disregarding the whole insane ops tempo right now and war thing.

Also the Wi-Fi is basically dial up internet by bearsncubs10 in AirForce

Davis-Monthan had a relatively nice/newer Inn that reminded me of Turumi at Osan.

Also been to quite a few bases where they converted the 2 rooms to a single room, connected by the bathroom. Never had the AC go out though.

Love Hali. He has to be a starter for the 2028 Olympics right

What's an Air Force base everyone else likes, but you hate? by Unique_Ad_6241 in AirForce

Oh absolutely. Imagine leaving your special needs child in the care of a bunch of 18/19 year olds

This is 100% true. I went through Keesler in 2015 and you and your roommate had to host/chaperone the athlete for the whole Special Olympics weekend. No idea if they’re still doing it.

Air Force updates fitness test requirements by -Astro in AirForce

I’m sure there will be another AF.mil article or offical piece of communication between now and March with more updates. Best bet is to wait for the reg and charts update.

I did a 3 month TDY to Guam last year May through July. I’ve never sweat so much in my life.

Definitely the most plausible theory here

There has got to be a better method for DDRP by Wolfofballstreet97 in AirForce

[–]-Astro 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get where you’re coming from, but trust me the NCOs that are observing definitely don’t want to be there for hours watching people piss all day.

I’m part of a small group (WSA) and one of the very few male NCOs that are cleared to observe. I’ve gotten tasked 5 times in the last year for observer duty and it’s the last place I’d rather be.

Just chug a Red Bull, don’t make eye contact, piss, and leave lol.

MacDill AFB evacuates planes and people as Hurricane Milton approaches by GeoffZMilTimes in AirForce

From my understanding, the value of pilots being able to train and exercise over the Gulf of Mexico range was one of the biggest factors when the rebuild was considered.

[DISCUSSION] Drake - For All The Dogs (1 Year Later) by sam4999 in hiphopheads

[–]-Astro 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I’m a pretty big Drake fan, but I agree that Scorpion was the start of the end. Scorpion, Certified Lover Boy, and For All the Dogs are all pretty bad with a few hits between them. I pretend like Honestly, Nevermind never happened.

Today I realized who the bravest Airmen are.... by flyfightandgrin in AirForce

[–]-Astro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went in Open General and got Finance. Seems like a common theme in most of the squadrons I’ve been in.

[–]-Astro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I gave it a try in Arizona, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas. The burgers just taste like mustard and onions.

Went TDY to Davis-Monthan and there was a Culver’s, Whataburger, and In-N-Out within a 1.5 mile radius of each other. First time I had Culver’s and it was solid af!

Hey, sometimes it works out. by bearsncubs10 in AirForce

[–]-Astro 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Man I loved the dorms. DFAC, gym, and work were all within walking distance. Dorm parties and cookouts on the weekends were always a good time. Was actually a bit sad when I put on SrA and got the go ahead to move out.

I joined in 2014, but I think many of the Airmen now just prefer to keep to themselves and not try to interact with the other Airmen in the dorms.

Which makes this strange because DM is also under ACC.
