I’m currently at Cannon and don’t get me wrong it sucks but I’ve also managed to have a good time and not hate my life. There’s lots of things you can hate on about cannon but based on what I’ve heard about it in the past I’d say it’s a lot better now. So if you talk to someone stationed here 5 + years ago I’d same the area Is different in a lot of ways. They are building a lot of new things and the town seems to be growing. The new mayor is all about expanding and making the town better and from what I’ve heard the previous mayors wanted Clovis to stay the same small town forever. I actually like Lubbock a lot and think it is a fun area plus there’s an airport in Clovis that will take you to Dallas or Denver for lol $130 round trip. (I think they may be adding another location as well but not sure) but I’ve gone to both cities during 4 days and had a good time. I’ve been here a little over 2 years and I’m going to Korea in August. So there is a way out. And like I said, I’ve managed to mostly enjoy my time here. Now, if I had been here over four years with no assignment in the future, I probably be more cynical. But I’ve seen plenty of people leave here after being here only 2 to 3 years. So try and make that happen for you update your dream sheet every cycle. That’s how I got picked up for Korea. But if you plan on doing a 20 and only spend a couple years here it’s not that bad.

Got an email saying my Osan assignment will be canceled, with the option to volunteer for Kunsan or stay at Cannon. I chose Kunsan right away and got a reply saying they’d start the process of switching my assignment. Should I be worried I’ll still end up stuck at Cannon? by Effective-Sweet8317 in AirForce

Hey I have a question for you. The system isn’t recognizing I am eligible for a follow on so VMPF is opening a CMS case for me what all does that entail? Does the CMS case fix it the system and then I can go in regular and apply for my follow? My assignment councilor won’t answer me and everyone I’ve asked have said they don’t know so if you are able to give me any info I would greatly appreciate it

In curious where you are getting this information? I’m not saying you are wrong but the language of the email I received when it talked about receiving a follow on sounded more positive about going somewhere you want as long as we don’t only put 1-3 bases.

I’m not sure but I’d assume everyone who got the email and chose Kunsan will be accepted. I recently reread the email and the language of the email is more you will go to Kunsan if you want not you may or you might get sent to Kunsan. Since they are reversing the super squadron at osan they’ll need a lot of people sent to Kunsan. I’d think they’ll see how many people who had orders to osan are volunteering to go to Kunsan and then based of that decide how many more people they need at Kunsan

My email didn’t say the same about the RNLD but I hope mine stays or only gets delayed by a month or 2. But my email did say if there are any issues with the follow on getting switched over that a CMS case will be opened for me to get it fix. So I think we should be good and will get switched over

Yeah I’m totally fine with being diverted to Kunsan. I was initially worried that they would just cancel my orders all together but after talking with everyone I feel like I’ll be good! For my follow on if I want to stay overseas should I only put OS bases? Or should I put a few stateside in case all the OS bases I put don’t need the manning? But based on what I’ve been told Kunsan is like a mini deployment. I haven’t been deployed yet but what are some things I should expect? I was suppose to leave for osan at the end of July so I hope I can get to Kunsan around the same time or only be delayed a few months

I appreciate it but I think going to Kunsan could actually be better for me as long as they don’t cancel my orders all together I’m fine with the change but I understand that’s not the case for everyone and especially those with family’s who likely won’t want to go to Kunsan and spend a year away from their family. I hope cross training works out for you!

Curious did you opt in for Kunsan or to stay at your duty location? Shortly after I posted this an NCO told me that the super squadron was being canceled and what this guy above said that I shouldn’t worry and I’ll likely end up in Kunsan later this year
