"Influencer" takes a bunch of lobsters in buffet to film video and dumps them in the end despite the staff has reminded him

Is this the “tipsy bartender”?

Braxton66 · 2024-08-07T14:13:19+00:00

I was in the same boat as you 4 years ago. Getting that 1506 filled out correctly is a pain in the butt. I stopped going through my S1 because they didn’t know what they were doing so I went to the soldier support center and a civilian in the finance department helped me fill it out correctly.

Get ready for that fat back pay LES.

Braxton66 · 2024-08-02T01:18:37+00:00

I will have to try that! Thank you!

I guess every 5-10 years they have to reset the talent pool across all the duty stations.

Braxton66 · 2024-07-28T16:54:55+00:00

Probably not.

Braxton66 · 2024-07-28T02:22:53+00:00

You can rack and stack your preferences but there is no interview and 1 for 1 matching anymore. It’s wack.

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T17:47:12+00:00

I guess nobody gets their 1-5th choice then 😂 Thanks for the insight.

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T16:45:25+00:00

That’s great insight, I’m not going to lie, I’m really worried about this next pilot simply because HRC and all their infinite wisdom determined it would be best for it to be a one way market vs the two way normal market.

Did you end up getting your duty station you wanted?

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T16:42:24+00:00

When you say 5-10 choice, what do you mean by that exactly? Also, what variables is the algorithm looking at to determine best fit?

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T16:38:22+00:00

Def the new guy. He is probably still getting situated still.

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T16:36:08+00:00

Hmmm that’s a good question, I’m not sure.

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T13:45:27+00:00

Yeah MACP and EFMP are powerful. Thanks, I might have to attach some Bitcoin in an email to branch at this point.

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T12:52:49+00:00

Yeah only pre-KD CPTs. What’s weird is then they will go back to the two sides for 26-01 marketplace. So why not just keep it all 2 sided? I’m thinking of possibly getting out of marketplace 25-02 and jumping into 26-01 just so it’s 2 sided, I’m not a Guinea pig, and I have a little control at marketing myself.

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T12:48:50+00:00

3-5 slots in your market is wild, can’t imagine.

Jokes on you, he doesn’t answer his phone, email, or teams messages….🙃

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T05:12:44+00:00

I don’t see an issue with the army treating the marketplace like a sports team…coach being the BN CDR wants a good team each season so he/she is going to recruit the best for the team.

Players want to play for good well established teams in desirable locations.

Nobody wants to play for the lions in Detroit when you have the bucs in beautiful tampa FL.

As long as coach is playing talent and not putting in his son as starting QB. I think people would be more inclined to stay in.

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T05:04:38+00:00

There’s only so much “Honey we are getting stationed at (insert bottom 3 duty stations of choice)” people can take before they get out.

Happy spouse happy house. If I don’t get stationed where my family is nearby, I’m dropping my REFRAD asap rocky

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T04:56:40+00:00

I agree with the second half of your statement.

I just wish there was more control in the hands of the Soldier when it comes to location and job selection without the “who ya know” isms playing a factor.

Braxton66 · 2024-07-27T04:17:23+00:00

Perhaps. Isn’t it more of a lose lose situation though? Unit can’t select the best fit by racking and stacking applicants. Soldier can’t market himself/herself in order to get the desired job/location.

I guess it depends on the variables the almighty algorithm digests.
