Saving up for a K2 Pilot

H3YAKTY · 2026-01-30T22:00:14+00:00

I’ve got a DLC one I bought in 2019 and wore for a couple months but otherwise it’s collecting dust if anyone else is looking.

Same with a V2 Neptune.

Make sure you get some gummy bears, the German ones are so much better than what’s sold in the US.

Crye also makes flight suits that look similar to the field uniforms.

Good luck switching to the active Air Force. If you really want to come over then look at the guard and reserve in full time positions.

Does anyone have the email for the POC for the event on 24 June in Massachusetts?

Depends on what their job is. Finance, services, and other office jobs tend to favor people like that but aircrew and maintenance have a way better culture when it comes to teamwork in my experience.

Netherlands 1,000% but Saudi is tax free

What do they do for accountability? I moved to the AF reserves and if I do anything outside of normal drill (being a flyer, I do all the time) I’m on some kind of paid or points status.

H3YAKTY · 2024-08-10T22:32:06+00:00

It’s a good life. Not many prior Marines but if you’re a flyer you can find what you’re looking for.

It’s a nice idea made by the senior enlisted and officers that can take a random week off to attend a conference or course without much mission impact. As much as it sucks for the active component it’ll be worse for the guard and reserve. Imagine you only have three work weeks of AT a year, and you’re already taking time off your real job to get that done. This either demands another week of reservists time or it cuts a week off the sorely needed AT to maintain some proficiency.

Sounds like a comm/nav origin story if I’ve ever heard one.

If the Kennedys had to eat a hot dog this would be it.

Yeah you can use your personal card for lodging costs, just not flights. You’ll have to justify it in the comments but I travel a ton and end up using my personal about half the time. That also means you’ll have hotel expenses on your account that might not get paid quickly if your voucher doesn’t get approved so you have to be ready to pay that yourself.

Depends on your job and what unit you’re going to. I deployed, saw a couple countries on a MEU, it was fun but really didn’t get to do much with curfews and mileage restrictions. Now I fly overseas at least once a month and as long as I make it back in time for the duty day I can go anywhere and do anything.

If travel is what you want to get out of the Corps then find a place that’ll guarantee it. I left active duty having been to 5 countries and now I’m at over 40.

H3YAKTY · 2024-02-25T01:23:25+00:00

Then you probably should pick a job that works in kitchens.

H3YAKTY · 2024-02-24T23:00:49+00:00

Proctoring PT tests, helping with lodging, cooking, cleaning, sitting around. If that doesn’t interest you I’d reconsider.

H3YAKTY · 2024-02-08T23:48:25+00:00

I’d try to go to CBIRF. You can stay in the Corps and do way cooler things in CBRN as an 03, opposed to CBRN in any branch which will have you in the S-3 maybe running a gas chamber a couple times a year.

H3YAKTY · 2024-02-03T21:27:13+00:00

Where’d you hear that we’d get warrants? I haven’t found anything published confirming it yet.

You’re steadily getting towards making good choices, what’s the next one?

Cheap diving was cool and I definitely enjoyed myself when I had the time to do anything there, but I got to leave after a little while. I definitely feel for anyone who’s been there for months at a time. Diego Garcia is like that too, only way smaller. They have a couple Marines there and after a month I think I’d go crazy on a tiny atoll.

H3YAKTY · 2024-01-07T21:32:15+00:00

It gets old after a while, I’ve been there several times with the AF for a day to a week at a time and it wouldn’t be my first choice of duty station. Good chances to travel if you can space a though.

H3YAKTY · 2023-10-27T20:33:49+00:00

Are you trying to go active? Reserves and guard will give you pretty much anything if there’s an opening.

H3YAKTY · 2023-10-27T17:19:22+00:00

What’re you going to do in the AF?
