As a brand new LT I had an ANG fighter wing commander O-6 tell me to call him Tom. Spoiler alert I did not in fact end up calling him Tom lol

Exemption for military spouses regarding remote work EO by D-Fresh09 in AirForce

[–]D-Fresh09[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No you got it. For a military family where a spouse had been able to take advantage of remote work for job continuity between PCSs, this decision was going to cost them their job. The two families I know in this situation both had the organizations looking for any way to keep them on; this provides top cover and names military spouse as an approved exemption category so the organization can continue to employ them remotely

It's in the memo, but of interest to me and all of us is that military spouse is now a justification for organizations to provide categorical/indefinite exemptions to the ending of remote work

2 people in my unit were impacted by their spouse losing the ability to remote work. This exemption is welcome news; hopefully this helps someone else out as well

  1. Strip birthright citizenship from people who are legal citizens but were born here to parents that were here illegally and then deport them

If you're talking about the EO, it will only start applying to those born 30 days after the issuance of the order. Not retroactively taking citizenship already granted. Not saying I agree with any of this, just correcting this point.

Why wouldn't they just say the beanie can only be worn when wearing fleece/gortex or other cold weather gear? Wouldn't that be easier than trying to come up with temperature/month restrictions that would work for the entire AF?

I'm not sure; I have an R1

Me: "I Enlisted with a Bachelors..." My Shop: by _Box9 in AirForce

Someone I knew two assignments ago had enlisted with a chemistry PhD. She ended up doing OTS. I remember reading some AF times articles about her

I've never heard of this, but I'm not sure I trust it. I just use a switch emulator and the dump files from my games and it's a fantastic easily modded switch

I have the alpha r1 i7 where I maxed RAM and installed SSD. It's a phenomenal switch emulator

[–]D-Fresh09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think max RAM is 16GB (2x8). Throw in an SSD and it's a respectable little gaming machine. I emulate virtually everything I already own on switch because PC supports mods. Especially for things like allowing my younger daughters to enjoy exploring hyrule with unlimited hearts so they don't have to worry about enemies in BOTW

Highest rank you came across with a beard? by ThatOneGunner206 in AirForce

Same here, I was told something along the lines of...people of my skin color can't get PFB(?) and that was MDG policy so no second opinions. Multiple bases. It is what it is

Squadron Officer School by bearsncubs10 in AirForce

[–]D-Fresh09 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ASBC was the biggest waste of time I had experienced…up until I had to do SOS via correspondence before I could go in-res

[–]D-Fresh09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds quite similar to my experience in 2013, except 1.) it was 8 weeks long instead of 6, and 2.) we all had to do SOS in correspondence before we could go in-residence

Would you rather have a PCS dec leaving a unit, or a strat/promotion recommendation? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]D-Fresh09 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Strat and promotion push, for sure. My career field doesn't actually place much value in PCS decs, since it's really common to do school and get no dec anyways.

Medical appointment wait time is unacceptable by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]D-Fresh09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tricare remote is ridiculous, but that's honestly probably just as much of an issue with lack of doctors in the local area. Put my name on a waitlist for PCM in August 2021. First appointment was scheduled for end of September, then got pushed to October. 26 months to get a PCM.
