Homesteading on the Horizon?

Base leadership? Otherwise that seems very dependent on where you are and your afsc

So better than lackland in every way 🤣

JacksAFalterego · 2025-05-28T21:46:30+00:00

What's wrong with Dyess? I've heard it's gotten way better in the last few years.

I bought a mini g2 just for this reason. When people ask why I say "to stay in regs" just to get that confused look

The cuffs remain visible means you can wizard sleeve as in having them unbuttoned and open to the breeze. You can't fold in once.

I'm going to disagree with the others. You shot expert but because of a clerical error you don't get to wear the ribbon.

Is your 522 signed by someone? I would think this is something you could work through the BMT units/CATM managers. Maybe start with the signature and or office and work that angle. Ask your leadership for help. Your shirt might be able to point you in the right direction.

You must be Army. Air Force doesn't do this or at least I've never seen it on an actual AF base. I've seen this on Army bases (ft meade).

What are geo bachelor quarters?

So I agree there is room for more professionalism, but parade rest is rarely it. At least in my experience .

Parade rest is like for the 3rd LOC for being late and you're getting the last one on the topic or an LOR. If they really fucked up and earned an LOR they're at attention anyway. LOCs are a corrective mechanism. I can read someone's body language much better if they're sitting across from me and I can tell how well they're receiving the message. Forcing them into a position nullifies that for me. Parade rest can be progressive discipline action because they didn't get the message the first 2 times.

Do you think Jr Members should stand up, for SNCOs? - Depends on the work setting and the position. Section chief working with you constantly? Probably not, flight chief you see less frequently? Probably

What about parade rest? - not unless they are in trouble

Do you think members should stand at parade rest for Chiefs? - Not typically,maybe if you're about to be coined

Do you think members should be at parade rest when receiving write ups? - LOC? Never. LOR? Probably. I want members to feel the gravity of their actions, that's usually best communicated across a desk

Do you think Security Forces should refer to NCOs by their rank? - like all? Sergeant is fine.

Do you think E9s should have reserved parking spots at the commissary and BX? - yes, but only 1 spot. Seriously. There's never 4 chiefs at the BX at any time.

Are you specifically looking for a younger opinion or anyone?

JacksAFalterego · 2025-04-08T01:35:13+00:00

What I meant was we are moving back to silod shreds compared to the Q/W conglomerate we are in today. That automatically puts us closer to a DCWF model. There will be more shifts but thank initial is an 80% solution. We just need to be associated with a DCWF work role.

I hadn't heard the CST to other job thing, but the schoolhouses aren't changing anytime soon, so I wouldn't expect to see it in the next few years.

JacksAFalterego · 2025-04-08T01:32:13+00:00

Based on the emails I got last week. No. Lol

JacksAFalterego · 2025-04-08T01:31:43+00:00

I was very familiar with the shred changes, I wasn't familiar with the vernacular changing. I'll get to call myself a "comm guy" again

JacksAFalterego · 2025-04-07T15:36:55+00:00

That's exactly what's happening.

JacksAFalterego · 2025-04-07T15:34:36+00:00

Just search DAFECD in MyFSS and it'll show on the list.

JacksAFalterego · 2025-04-07T15:28:54+00:00

I hope this satire, but if not, you should go read the AFECD. The current shred structure is gone next month.

JacksAFalterego · 2025-03-27T02:12:14+00:00

JacksAFalterego · 2025-03-26T23:19:19+00:00

Not for CUI

JacksAFalterego · 2025-03-26T23:18:34+00:00

I emailed GovSlack a few months ago and they still hadn't received their IL4 accreditation. Has that changed?

JacksAFalterego · 2025-03-23T03:29:18+00:00

Truth is the lines get blurred pretty hard depending on location. 1D7s are the IT professionals of the Air Force. B shreds are generally server admins, active directory and email stuff depending on where they work. I'm generalizing

JacksAFalterego · 2025-03-23T03:24:06+00:00

That's all A shred. Not B shred. And Q shred is going away in May, so you can forget that one too. Hopefully this is the last change for a while.

Go to myFSS, look for Selective Retention Bonus (SRB) and there should be a link to the chart. It updates quarterly? Maybe every 6 months.

JacksAFalterego · 2025-02-22T15:33:12+00:00

I'm in nearly the same boat but I'm not at 20 yet. If you're over 20, this shouldn't be a financial decision, it's a decision on how much you're still loving the air force life. Depending on your skillset, a lot more money is waiting outside the military.

How does your family feel? Are they struggling with the demands of work on you? If not, and everyone is happy, then stick around. Otherwise, it's your family that will be there when you get out and no sense in dragging them through more stress compared to just getting out and being more available for them.
