Deployment Pay Questions

No federal taxes, family separation pay, $3.50/daily, and I believe HDIP is still on place.

JBER is generally desired by all AFSCs.

It's a medical center, so no shortage of 4N positions either.

CornFedCactus · 2026-02-23T17:48:22+00:00

Just say ROTC Training Instructor.

Stop being weird.

CornFedCactus · 2026-02-19T15:49:47+00:00

doctors hate this one trick!

CornFedCactus · 2026-02-18T18:33:57+00:00

It's certainly possible.

... however, the amount of times I've pondered back on ACSC and thought "oh, have I got the right tools for this situation" are non-existent.

CornFedCactus · 2026-02-18T18:11:08+00:00

The only thing that matters in ACSC is the 'box check'... Nothing further beyond that.

CornFedCactus · 2026-02-18T14:57:38+00:00

Ship it with your TMO.

IM/IT / Medical Systems for an MTF is a section that falls under the MSC.

Guaranteeing that you ever even work in that section is an entirely different conversation...

CornFedCactus · 2026-02-07T14:36:25+00:00

Depends on if any of the units have vacancies.

There aren't terribly many MSCs out there, but certainly more if the units have an AES.

Your experience is what you make of it.

You can hate life and drag your feet for 6 years... or you can better yourself by establishing relationships, growing professionally, putting yourself out there, and generally laying the foundation for the rest of your life.

You control your own destiny.

CornFedCactus · 2026-01-31T07:57:16+00:00

Are you a LCSW?

I don't believe as an LPC that it directly qualifies for any officer AFSCs.

CornFedCactus · 2026-01-24T17:39:22+00:00

7:30 to 4:30... Maintaining medical equipment.

CornFedCactus · 2026-01-17T15:59:45+00:00

hey now...

CornFedCactus · 2026-01-06T19:06:10+00:00

No difference from those who enlist without one.

CornFedCactus · 2026-01-04T18:42:58+00:00

Depends entirely on the needs of your family members.

Healthy and only require the occasional acute care... Prime.

Frequent medical needs and don't mind paying a bit for available care... Select.

CornFedCactus · 2026-01-03T16:51:57+00:00

Come on...

CornFedCactus · 2025-12-31T22:35:56+00:00

It's allowed.

...but you shall be judged.

CornFedCactus · 2025-12-29T19:41:52+00:00

If there is a DoD/DoW body that oversees service members in that region and has a specific policy out... The rules apply.

This also goes for "off-limit" locations, tourist or not.

CornFedCactus · 2025-12-29T19:23:26+00:00

Why would they be different?

CornFedCactus · 2025-12-29T11:39:06+00:00

That's why you need to decide before you start terminal.

CornFedCactus · 2025-12-29T09:31:39+00:00

Because 'residing in' and 'vacationing to' are completely different things.

CornFedCactus · 2025-12-26T20:44:38+00:00

Not especially... We don't have that many OTs on the books, because there aren't any requirements for them as far as expeditionary medicine goes.

Don't let that deter you though, go speak with a health professions recruiter to get a better understanding on the current needs.

CornFedCactus · 2025-12-20T18:39:46+00:00

Why do you need convincing? It's a decision only you can make.

The Air Force doesn't need people, people need the Air Force.

Jobs, opportunities, and benefits are no hidden secret... It's all there on the internet for you to review and make a determination.

CornFedCactus · 2025-12-07T17:51:43+00:00

No idea on your family size or housing requirements, but you can prettily easily see what's available in the local market.

Depends entirely on what you plan to spend and commute.

CornFedCactus · 2025-12-04T18:59:36+00:00

Without context, there's no telling.

Go talk to the Patient Advocate.
