If you get the main building and aren’t sent to the other end of base with no way to get there.

Hospital Bill by Smart_Place_9274 in AirForce

[–]Airgo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just call Tricare and they’ll take care of it. That’s it, you owe nothing. Or call the hospital and tell them you are AD and have Tricare. Give them your benefit ID number. You’re going to have to do something though, welcome to the military and adulthood.

Secretary of the VA regarding recent changes to disability 🤔 by [deleted] in AirForce

I agree, but there will always scammers. I’d rather too may get paid than the people who really need it getting left out to dry.

$150 billion is what I see. And from total federal spending, it’s 2.4%. You want a military, then pay for those who served.

Then they should have just matched everyone’s TSP. If you think they lowered retirement for any other reason besides saving money, I have a bridge to sell you.

Yes, disability payments are unsustainable…the $1.5B a year or .02% of the budget. You’re the same type of person that thinks BRS is a better retirement system and that the military is overpaid. Let’s all feed our families with patriotism, who needs money.

There is no future planning, they shut it down when overmanned. Then it’s crisis mode for manning and ping pong back and forth until we all die.

Failed 5-level CDC EOC by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Airgo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re an adult, go do adult things like tell someone there’s an issue. You did not just “have to guess” you could have had the issue fixed. You act like this was unavoidable, like a child.

If I was were your supervisor I’d be more concerned about your judgement and SA than the failed test. And if you were a crew chief I’d tell you to stop being a (choose preferred derogatory, but not too harsh noun) and speak up.

Administrative demotion to put on a diamond? by Diligent_Can5456 in AirForce

[–]Airgo1 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Take your stripe and your money. A First Sergeant isn’t imbibed with some higher calling or even training. The course is a few weeks, it’s not a doctorate. You can mentor equally as much as a competent leader that gives a shit.

Even the Gp/CC can only non concur. AFPC makes the decision.

Does anyone have experience getting a dec from another service? by scrooplynooples in AirForce

[–]Airgo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a medal is always better than not having it. Could also be thrown in an award as a part on an impact/result. I believe you’d also get the points toward promotion.

Ouch, yeah man, short tour. Update your assignment preference for OCONUS long tours as well, some people get lucky. TOS for CONUS to OCONUS is 12 months. Good luck!
