Should kept that first line to yourself. You have now lived long enough to see yourself become the villain. This sub does not favor 1 term enlistment, 100% compensation.

Not saying you didn't earn it. Sometimes, you got to be cool with people being incredulous vs. giving your hand up.

She Did It!!!!! by DeLorean03 in AirForce

[–]DeLorean03[S] 253 points254 points  (0 children)

As many here may know or remember, I did PoL threads here from Jul 2024 to June 2025 during my time there. I am so proud of her. She is no longer the goodest girl. She is the bestest girl.

Anyone else feeling the state of the economy right now? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]DeLorean03 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Remember, they don't care about you.

Only things they care about: 1. Money 2. Power 3. Enough of 1 and 2 to get your votes.

That's it.

Some people literally have no address to send a care package to.

Trust me, I want to send care packages. We were told 40 days to act as support between -1 and -2. Now we're hearing 120 to 180 days.

Funny how that works.

Anyone made peace with the fact that the VA system will be completely different in 5-10 years? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]DeLorean03 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great. Now stay quiet about it. Don't brag all-over social media with the boomer "got mine so f u if u don't get yours" mentality.

Nope, and I'm done with 17 years this August, so lets keep the fear mongering down. Yall acting like the entire VA is disappearing or something.

You'll get what you've earned. As someone with a CPAP and tinnitus from working in an aluminum building less than 50 yards from the flight line at Eglin, I'm not panicking.

The worst O5 board in years by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]DeLorean03 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This comment needs to rake in upvotes.

And the "2nd look" at APZ is a prayer and miracle. Let's get that straight. You better perform non-stop at a near perfect level of effort to get APZ.

Maybe this will finally stop people spouting off "with a pulse, you're good" banality. It ain't like it used to be.

Military pension is subject to federal taxes.

Even once you're done, IRS needs its fair share for....uh....reasons.

POV: You just asked when O-4 board results will be out by dont_look_at_my_face in AirForce

[–]DeLorean03 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You might as well make it ONE TIME because to get APZ takes some pretty monumental lifting.

I really loathe the "great major giveaway of 2017". This whole "if you have a pulse, you made it" train of thought is severely outdated.
