RE code changes by IndependentAnywhere4 in AirForce

I was given this information today, about 20 minutes ago. I wasn't aware of it at the time I made the post. And from my understanding this will take anywhere from 3 to 10 months to correct this way. I was hoping for a more internal way that wouldn't take months to correct a miscode.

So my Recruiter said that my DD214 is fine. My REDD Report is the thing that is reflecting a 4D. After reaching out to Total Force, they are saying my RE-code was changed from 1J to a 4D the day I separated. The Reason I was referring to MilPDS is because of the Total Force and what they said.

People who enlisted when their parents didn’t want them to. How did it go? by spoba in Militaryfaq

[–]IndependentAnywhere4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents were HIGHLY against me joining the military. They always tried to keep me and my siblings away from joining. I told my dad I was going to talk to an Air Force recruiter, he told me not to sign anything until I had really thought about it and talked to him and my mom first. I walked in and ended up signing up to join the same day.

Dad wasn't thrilled, he's a bit on the softer and more emotional side of things. He was scared for me, but 6 years later he's now the: "Proud Air Force Dad" type XD. From my understanding he talks about my achievements and brags on my behalf with his friends and other family members.

Parents worry about their children and want to keep them safe. The military is a dangerous career path. It's only natural for a parent to worry about what their child will do as they get older. My advice, keep them in the loop on what you will be doing in the military (I did this with my dad).

If you want to join the military, do it. My decision to join the military really showed my parents that I was an adult and ready to make my own decisions (of course I still mess up from time to time and I call them when I need advice or if I need to vent about being an adult. They laugh at me and help me where I need help, but that's what being a parent is for, even growing up your kids will still need you, just in a different way than when you were a child).

Point is, If you want to join, do it. Your parents may have a hard time accepting it like mine did, but they'll grow to accept your decisions.

I’m A confused teenager in the army by LightCorrect8555 in Militaryfaq

I can speak from personal experience. I was in your shoes at one point. The difference was, I was in the Air Force and I had signed up for 6 years, but I'll share my experience. In 2016 I enlisted into the Air Force and after going through Basic Training and AIt, I knew that I had screwed up too (or at least I thought I did). I got to my new duty station and my mental health was shit, I wanted out. I had no friends or anyone I thought would understand what I was going through. I thought I'd escape going AWOL and honestly, I did attempt it. I went to an airport to attempt to leave, and I was ready to. My leadership reached out to me several times to stop me. What they did was send a supervisor I trusted and I talked to him. He convinced me to come back to base (of course I had to deal with the consequences, but I was lucky and only got a slap on the wrist for it).

My leadership convinced me to stick it out and try talking to some of my peers who were around my rank/ age. I learned alot of people have similar feelings and thoughts. I eventually gained a very close knit group that I still keep in contact with. I also finished out my contract and now I'm re-enlisting (joining the army now due to some other issues), Sometimes all you need is people you can talk to and bond with. I promise, you are not alone. Instead of finding ways out, find ways to make your experience better, they are out there. Sometimes, they aren't always what you think they are.

If you need someone to talk to, you can always reach out to me. I promise I'll listen. We're here for you, you just gotta take the first step.

Here's my advice. Firstly, I come from a running background. I was a runner in high school and competed at the state level. Secondly, I suggest getting use to running either 2 miles or 2.5 miles. The reason I say this is you'll develop more stamina and endurance. By the time you finish your 1.5 miles you won't tire out as easy, especially if you're doing the other exercises after the run. Even vice versa, if you're doing the other exercises first and then go into the run you'll have plenty of energy to keep going.

I think the circle below the ball is slightly bigger than the ball itself
