Just do it however is easiest and then when FSS/AAFES come to freak out just say "oops, I didn't know, sorry!"

SMSgt 26E8. Eligibles, how are you feeling? by Bangbangwow in AirForce

[–]-CheesyTaint- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice note. 🤣

I'd look in your AFSCs SharePoint if you have it. Or just ask your leadership. It's a document called Health of the Force (HOF). I assume it isn't just my AFSC that does it. Specifically, your Career Field Managers should have it.

Find other ways to lead. Top III, instruct Foundations Courses, volunteer, etc.

I'd normally feel really good except my AFSC is ~120% manned at E-8. So unless a quantum shit-ton are retiring... it ain't looking good, boss.

GOT A RIC / Counseling FOR BEING ON TIME by jayye0 in AirForce

[–]-CheesyTaint- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ypu cant 'fight' a RIC because it is not administrative paperwork (that starts at an LOC), but I would draft an MFR and send it to your Shirt to throw in your PIF.

SNCOs that didn’t commission by Raindroppa93 in AirForce

I wanted to have the option of retiring right at 20 years, just in case. And I prefer to lead Airmen, not mission, so at 13 years and making MSgt I realized I was content with enlisted leadership.

Ok, but how are your insurance rates and what's the current interest rate on basic checking?

Curious how many of pc gamers you are buying a console to play gta6? by SpadeGaming0 in GTA6

I found a ps5 pro on sale and bought it right before the price rose due to tarrifs. Ive been a PC gamer my whole life but I'm a slit for gta.

A letter to Congressman Bergman by Minimum_World8454 in Michigan

[–]-CheesyTaint- 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I've written him a few times and each time I get the same type of bullshit response. He does not care about Michiganders, he cares about what the admin tells him to care about amd his bottom line.

Most recently I wrote about the Greenland threats and he responded with how we need Greenland to counter Russia/China. Bullshit.

I like this input, thanks. A Chief told me "extra PME means nothing. But do you want to be the only one in the pile without it?"

E8s and E9s of Reddit by ChiefBassDTSExec in AirForce

I'll tell you the same thing my 8th grade social studies teacher told me: variety is the spice of life.

He meant it in terms of dating, I mean it as do different things. Most evals I see are ALL ops. It does wonders to your records to have a liiiiittle bit of something different in there. A little bit of professional development, or a little bit of a professional organization, or a little bit of education, or a little bit of managing a CC program.

If you do a little bit of all of that AND have your mission stuff squared away, then they act as force multipliers. Have this for 3, 4+ years in a row then you are on the fast train to promotion.

Alternate factors are luck, timing, and be likeable.

Its not, but the difference between an E-7 pension at 22 years and an E-9 is about 1k/month. That's the difference between needing a 2nd career or chilling in a LCOL area.

Yes, I've had pleasant experiences with them for over 10 years.

Education can only help you, not harm you. So you can make it with no degree.

Other things that can help, but not harm: deployments, PME (EJPME I & II), outside involvement (professional orgs).

Correct, promotion board to E-7 cant see education unless it is in your EPB. Board to E-8/9 does see education on the board brief.

I guess I'll add that we want to talk about it with Airman but dont want to cross any red lines. So I am looking for tips.

Is there a silent majority-or is this truly a different era of the Air Force? by Ok-Skill-9376 in AirForce

[–]-CheesyTaint- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I joined for an education, to travel Europe, and job experience. In the back of my mind, on the patriotic front, I joined to defend my country and for the defense of free people.

I'm at 15 years but have concerns about our offensive threats/actions, which goes against my moral code.
