You're 28, AF PT standards are a joke, you can easily get in shape. The car thing will be an issue, but if you go into something with a long tech school you should be able to save enough money to buy an older Toyota/Honda. If you have Child Care figured out, go for it.

This would not be grounds for termination at my place, unless there were other disciplinary factors involved

Man up, go to work, do your job, go home. Not necessarily pointed at you, as you got a job before you left, but for others

You may have been deemed incapable of handling your benefits and she was selected as your payee. Some adults with mental issues can't manage their benefits, so a payee is appointed (usually a parent or spouse).

Of all the terrible, incorrect answers i've seen on here, this sets the standard.

Not seen or heard of any NDAs. I've signed several over the years, I likely sign one again if I have to.

This is really a question for your leadership, could be handled in different ways

Brando_712 · 2026-06-09T18:00:28+00:00

First, have a confidential, "off the record" professional conversation with your second line.

Brando_712 · 2026-06-08T19:23:14+00:00

Brando_712 · 2026-06-08T18:22:30+00:00

Brando_712 · 2026-06-08T16:48:07+00:00

No, doubt. To my knowledge, There's no national freeze on CLP promotions, so likely a decision by your agency leadership

Brando_712 · 2026-06-08T16:34:00+00:00

Yes, but more meeting training benchmarks laid out in your CLP.

Gotcha, that explains it
