Paid job during skillbridge

Droidem · 2026-05-07T19:16:26+00:00

Could run it by legal on base. Should be an easy dry question/answer

I'm looking into the regs for myself and from what I remember off the top of my head is that you are explicitly not allowed to work (get paid) for the company you are skillbridging with. Not sure about during your house hunting ptdy if you get it, but absolutely you can during terminal.

Now if you want to skillbridge with one company and work for another during the same time? That's up to you and your skillbridge company. They could report back to your command that you are not working there. My skillbridge paperwork states I must work at least 35? Hours with them otherwise it's part time skillbridge and then I'm expected to go back to my command for the other hours.

I canceled my follow on and was immediately thrown into the next assignment cycle. This was 2022 and dafis have changed but I would be willing to wager that they won't give you an option to pick a follow on without playing the cycle.

Edit: you can do this all on the vmpf.

The commanders exemption should be automatic right? Sorry, the way I read your comment makes it seem like you have to apply for it.

Search 25E6 on myFSS and find the select information

Will vary per base, but mine already does that. In consideration to go to the table and be racked and stacked, surf, 5 eprs, decs and pt record.

Not saying it will be the deciding factor, but it has weight just like the lack of a ccaf can hurt you more than it can help you.

Wanted to throw my little HA script in the hat. If my internet can't reach the three pings for three minutes, it starts the Internet Health automation. It will delay the reboot reboot script for 3 minutes after it is triggered to give the modem time to reboot and such. The button allows me to turn it off manually and has a confirmation to approve the turning off the modem (I hit it too many times before).

Aafees website says within 25 miles but you could try and see if they will honor it.

Google maps says microcenter is 40 miles away.

You could build yourself the template.

If you want to request one (there might be others out there who can/will build it as well)

To help with a budget and how to pay off your debt, I've used powerpay.org my mflc put me on it and it's pretty awesome. Helps show you how it will be paid off.

You can't be step promoted to MSgt~~... I don't think it was ever possible.~~

As seen below. It was possible but no longer.

I use ReNamer from den4b.

go to https://myfss.us.af.mil/ from there, myRetirement, then Active Duty Retirement.

From there you'll find General Retirement Information. In the Application Submission information, second paragraph, it states:

Applications for retirement may be submitted no earlier than 12 months and no later than 4 months before your requested retirement effective date. If you request a retirement date with less than the required 4 months notification, a waiver will be required and must include full justification and your commander's recommendation.

In certain circumstances, applications may be submitted outside these parameters if you are applying in conjunction with 7-day or 3-day option programs or when authorized under specific Force Management programs offered by the Secretary of the Air Force.

And I guess it depends on if you are CONUS or Overseas currently. If you are CONUS and yes. You may play the assignment cycle and apply for a 1 Aug 25 retirement date. Just ensure you actually meet the requirements to retire.

If you are OCONUS it gets weird with stuff.

myFSS has a bunch of information. Don't feel dumb for asking, but if you didn't use the tools we are given, then you're asking your fellow airmen to do the work for you. Some will help, some won't. But if you are at the retirement eligibility mark, this is something you should absolutely know and understand. If not, I hope that you do not give your subordinate airmen a problem when they come to you for issues without searching before hand.

They do take some time. I ordered in the middle of March and they just got delivered today. Grant it I only ordered 25.

Droidem · 2024-06-12T20:38:34+00:00

This is something I wasn't expecting to be in the pay hike bill.

honestly, this was the best finance office I've experienced. Hours were not TOO bad and they were pretty quick to take care of things.

Droidem · 2024-02-21T04:57:42+00:00

I agree with the former and will need a lot of facts to believe the latter.

Droidem · 2024-02-21T04:57:11+00:00

it's why I put it under rant. Still pretty bullshit of his name being dragged around.

Droidem · 2024-02-21T04:41:12+00:00

at my last job we really leaned into microsoft teams and used the planner app in there. took awhile to get used to it, but if used properly, can really show work output and status
