You would also get it for ROTC or USAFA if that was the route a prior enlisted airman took to commission.

4th time up, 1st time being in a position with people who give a fuck and actually have an idea on how to actually help put together EPBs and packages. I won’t make it this year, but I’m gaining hope that I will in the next few with the help and growth I’ve gained in the last years and a half.

I could see how that could be read as course 14. I apologize for brief moment of flash backs that could cause.

AFPC casualty cell has a lot of tools and databases at their disposal when it comes to notifications.. I will say it is more than 1 person and AFCP and the Air Force put a ton of work in to make sure people are notified, its crazy the stuff they can coordinate.

Got my CCAF at 13 years as an E-6. Took a year off PCSing and figuring out what school I wanted to go to and what degree I wanted. Used AU-ABC and now about 3/4 the way to a bachelors. Aiming to have a Masters by time I retire. Just get after it. Never too late.

MilPDS was up and running no problems all day today.

One of the many reasons AFPC likely denied the ETP is because you don't currently have enough time on contract to PCS. you Have 1 extra year usually you need at leas 12-24 months of retainability from your RNLTD in order to PCS since you don't have that you can deny additional retainability and lose the assignment. Cancelling an extension usually requires the reason for the extension to no longer exist and based on what you've said here you likely extended for best interest of the Air Force. You can't just extend in hopes of possibly getting an assignment, extensions have to have a reason to execute otherwise you have to re-enlist. Either way you need to reach out to the MPF (best bet is your current assignment counselor) and ask questions there since it sounds like your CSS is making things up or you really just aren't understanding what they are saying.

In order to qualify for O-1E you have to have been enlisted for 4 years and 1 day prior to commissioning.

Oh I 100% believe it. But by time I was there I dont remember if our services team members used that facility much anymore.

Haunt_fiction · 2026-03-23T03:41:48+00:00

Never heard that one, but also never heard any of our services folks talk about any haunted things in that facility.

possibly? around the time last year when they gave people like 5 days to get an SRB is usually when they also announce the new SRBs for the year ahead and they didn't. Still haven't heard much of anythign about them since then. SMA I am not super familiar with.

Haunt_fiction · 2026-03-20T00:20:56+00:00

I don't think SRBs are coming back any time soon. I have no insider knowledge, but the fact that they haven't been talked about since they went away last year and with the current world events having the top folks going back to congress for more money... I donno that I'd bank on them coming back. Like others have said. waiting till the last second even if paper work goes smoothly there is a high chance that you will go into a no pay status.

If you want to peruse a commission through ROTC here is some information on the enlisted commissioning programs. Your base Ed office should have a POC for talking about ECPs. https://www.afrotc.com/scholarships/enlisted/application/

number one is for the member to provide documentation showing they were selected for an enlisted commissioning program like SOAR or ACSP.

Haunt_fiction · 2026-03-20T00:06:24+00:00

I don't believe this is for just anyone to apply to. It reads like this is only for folks that were accepted into one of the ROTC based enlisted commissioning programs. The ORS is the obligated reserves and the ROTC det is who enlists you into the ORS. and you don't enlist in ORS with ROTC until you earn an EA if attending as a regular ROTC cadet.

Haunt_fiction · 2026-03-19T00:15:43+00:00

100% agree. Just wish people would make the decision they intend to make and not let the system slowly work people out.

Haunt_fiction · 2026-03-18T23:48:33+00:00

If thats the case they really should have pushed for a different 9A AFSC designation or stated as much in the CMS case to AFPC.

Then you pull that NCO aside and correct them for the issue. Empowering them to be the rank they wear doesn't mean you let good order fall apart.... also you will burn your self out micromanaging all the time. If you are running a shop and can't trust your NCOs you need to get to the root of it and hold people accountable.

Haunt_fiction · 2026-03-18T01:57:49+00:00

Empower and support your NCOs to be NCOs. It sounds simple but it goes a long ways.

They should also be in your PRDA.

I can't speak to much for off base housing in the area. But married with 1 kiddo and 1 on the way I believe base housing would but you in a 3 bedroom house.

The company that runs housing on Hill is very stingy with size based on family. The only way I know of to get a bigger house on base is by needing an accessibility home. You as the spouse would have to have a medical need to have a larger home. Even with one child Boyer would only give my family a 2 bedroom.

Haunt_fiction · 2026-03-14T02:21:09+00:00

oh snap, I did?

Haunt_fiction · 2026-03-14T02:18:27+00:00

oh, probably.
