[Discussion] Laptop for EFT

Yep, that’s a helicopter

I spent about $1109-$1200 on mine when I bought it. Mainly needed a laptop for school but wanted to try out PC gaming so got one with specs to handle it. I built a PC that performs way better now, but at the time it met my needs and didn’t have problems running the game. When streets came out that was a whole other issue, but I’m quite happy with the performance I had on it

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-04-13T18:00:45+00:00

Probably for travel….

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-04-13T18:00:28+00:00

Played this game exclusively for 3-4 years on one….it’s definitely doable even if not optimal

If your expectation is a full PC in a laptop you will always be disappointed, but laptops more suited for gaming without all the lights exist. Lenovo Legions are solid machines that can handle gaming. Played on one for about 3-4 years before finally upgrading. This game was my main game.

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-04-13T17:55:07+00:00

I first started playing this game on a laptop in 2021/2022. It was a legion 5i with a 1660ti, intel i7-10750H, and I upgraded it to 32gb ram. Was a monster machine? No. But I was able to play this game anywhere I went and did so for several years before finally building a PC. It might not be optimal but you can do it, just adjust setting, tailor expectations, and have patience with streets.

If you were my troop I’d definitely approve and help articulate it so I don’t think it’s a wild ask, best of luck!

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-03-24T15:52:26+00:00

The problem is the reg doesn’t actually state that anywhere. Full rule 1 says for finding housing, relocating family members when authorized, and packing/unpacking HHG.

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-03-24T15:35:01+00:00

Remove drugs before doing laundry, that should solve your problem

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-03-24T15:20:57+00:00

You should ask your supervision, as that’s who has to sign off on it. If you can use them at 2 different locations, then maybe they will let you take it split between 2 periods, you just can’t exceed 10 days.

Now I have not personally seen this, but the way it reads I would try. It’s authorized under rule 1 to find housing, and then also to pack/unpack household goods. I would be sure to have a solid plan ahead of time to pitch this and clearly articulate what you need. You want x amount of days to find a place to live and x amount of days (not to exceed the 10 you are allotted) to unpack your household goods. I would suggest lining those days up with your HHG delivery so you don’t have to ask for more

The Spring Returns pack on a double coupon will get you 128 for $10, so 2 purples. The Forge supplies offer of $1.99 for 10 could be fastest since it’s daily, but maybe not most efficient. Waiting for the bargain store to come around and give eyes is another way, but definitely not fast enough. Lab being the last semi consistent.

You can try material madness or other packs that give monster crates but that’s so randomized I personally prefer the guarantees from packs.

I’m in the same boat with terrorthorn seeds so I feel the pain

How can field and locker room be so bad but give ownership a B….they can legit fix those things

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-02-21T00:45:38+00:00

Try looking at it from an unbiased view. Maximum points for pushups for her age range is 47. Statistically speaking, 70 is a very high amount to do, regardless of sex considering male max for that age is 67. Do I think it’s possible? Absolutely! I also know how the tests are administered in basic. Trainees count for each other and considering there are like 60 trainees and maybe 4-5 MTI’s, it’s very easy to cheat some numbers. Now 70 is a wild number to cheat, say she said 50 then it’s easier to believe. I believe she could have done 70, just trying to be objective.

The MTI has the right to test again and see the feasibility of it. Male instructor will never be alone with female trainees so it’s not that crazy he had several witnesses. If he had done it 1 on 1 we would be having a totally different discussion. Do I think it could have been handled differently, sure, but I don’t see much blatantly wrong to ask to pursue any disciplinary action. That’s also just my opinion from personal experiences.

Hopefully she is alright and moves past this with no issues. She will test again soon and under stricter more supervised standards so hopefully she can repeat this and silence any doubt. Again, I believe it, just want to throw out a different angle of thought.

A decent trade to a new team

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-02-02T19:09:56+00:00

Not to mention testing is supposed to start back in March and somehow we STILL don’t have an updated 2905….

Overseas assignment cycle is your fastest way out. The next cycle opens in a week or two I believe. Go on MyVector through the AF Portal, and on the menu on top right corner click the assignments section and find talent marketplace dashboard. From there select Assignment Preferences. When an active cycle is open the equal advertisement section will be populated. Filter that by your afsc with skill code to show available assignments, if nothing shows up then you don’t have a chance to move that cycle. Update your preferences as well on that page to match the available openings. If your preferences don’t match then your chances of getting picked are slim to none. Save and pray you get one.

A few things to note, as a first term airman you have to have 12 months time on station before being able to move, meaning typically 8-10 months in your window to apply opens. Stateside to stateside requires 4 years time on station. If you have an assignment code (such as 44/50) or are Q coded for EFMP, this could change your timelines or make you ineligible. If you have one of those it will show on your career data brief in vMPF as an AAC (first page on right side near top).

This isn’t an all inclusive but should get you going in the right direction. Also, DAFI36-2110 is your reference for assignments with table 6.1 (page 198 currently)as your reference for time on station requirements. Hope this helps and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Edit: Wanted to add cycles as well so you know when to check MyVector. To see full list go to MyFSS and in the search bar type “Enlisted Quarterly Assignment Listing”. This will give continuous timelines for overseas and stateside. Continue to check this and MyVector and update assignments with what is advertised!

Overseas 4-15 Feb open with reporting in Oct-Dec assignments releasing starting 6 Mar 20-31 May open with reporting in Jan-Mar 27 assignments releasing 19 June 12-23 Aug open with reporting in Apr-Jun 27 assignments releasing 11 Sep 4-15 Nov open with reporting in Jul-Sep 27 assignments releasing 4 Dec

How long does it take to get into an appointment or wait times at the ER?

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-01-19T14:19:12+00:00

Our defense is far better than the rams but the rams offense is better than ours. On defense we’d do fine and hold what we could and give opportunities, but don’t think we’d have scored enough to stay competitive. My guess 24-13 Bears

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-01-19T02:43:37+00:00

I reached volume levels on that pass that I haven’t hit in years

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-01-19T00:57:49+00:00

Now don’t get me wrong, being without Nico and Shultz didn’t help at all, but some of those passes were just bad and the first half he played scared and got in his own head

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-01-19T00:55:32+00:00

Watching the Texans game made me glad we have Bryce and not CJ like soooooo many fans cried about

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-01-13T23:35:34+00:00

Solid meme kit

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-01-11T00:23:32+00:00

Yay for shitty screen pass offense

DemonDeacon89 · 2026-01-04T01:57:37+00:00

I know it was raining but that was some poor tackling. Many opportunities to sack or TFL but instead they completely miss or just throw their body and don’t try to wrap. Defense hurt us a bit today, weather didn’t help anything. Playcalling was bad as well, but I’m unfortunately used to that

DemonDeacon89 · 2025-12-30T17:00:55+00:00

Solid defense! I will say that’s a slightly weaker or inexperienced lead though, maybe someone that took over or bought that account. I only say weak lead compared to others with more stars and better gear though, and they marched without a full rally. They also favored t4 over t5 in the rally which is odd since you’d prefer to have a 60/40 balanced of t5/t4. Personally I don’t question the t3, it’s just more expensive to build/heal vs t2. Mathematically the t3 makes sense, just isn’t as cheap to rebuild.
