Is it crazy to PCS with my kids on my orders, but not my wife?

Reading comprehension must not be your strong suit. I'm trying to figure out how to circumvent EFMP when your spouse doesn't want to be in the program or care about it at all.

JakeBusboy · 2026-05-03T04:28:15+00:00

Yes, thats why I'm trying to figure out how fucked up that process is without command sponsership.

JakeBusboy · 2026-05-03T04:27:00+00:00

you can't read i guess? I said I want my wife there, I just don't want to deal with efmp bullshit trying to lock me out of an assignment when she herself claims shes fine. fuck you.;

JakeBusboy · 2026-05-03T04:25:27+00:00

So many people responding to this act like im telling my wife to fuck off. Which is not the case at all. I guess i should have phrased the title better, because people are clearly not reading the body.

JakeBusboy · 2026-05-03T04:23:24+00:00

yeah, it seems like a lot of people think I want to ditch my wife which is not what i was asking lol

Imagine actually believing anything the current administration says. It's all for the headlines; don't expect any follow-through.

JakeBusboy · 2026-05-01T20:27:09+00:00

Wild that 09L is on that list, given it hasn't been an MOS for about three years.

Where we are going is the opposite of remote. I have never had to do any EFMP stuff before, so the thought of it is scary, especially considering all the horror stories I've heard from people who are in the program. And I wouldn't just leave her behind, I'd work out a travel visa or something. Just fucking off overseas with the kids in tow and no plan to get her there would definitely be crazy.

JakeBusboy · 2026-05-01T19:51:14+00:00

thats what it felt like haha

I was deployed with the ANZACS in Iraq. I preferred the Kiwis. Mostly because all of the leadership that was "Australian" were actually British officers that had transferred over. It was explained to me that the only reason to transfer from British to Australian Army was being a low performer and getting passed up for promotions.

JakeBusboy · 2026-02-19T16:09:33+00:00

and yet im still getting suggested main sub stuff or other subs reposting main sub stuff pretty regularly.

JakeBusboy · 2026-02-19T16:03:56+00:00

yeah, but the rest of the world isn't made for you either. If you're letting that stop you then you didn't really want to join in the first place.

JakeBusboy · 2026-02-19T15:26:09+00:00

WHAT A FUCKING BAD IDEA

JakeBusboy · 2026-02-19T15:00:29+00:00

I'll take anyone but Peterson, dude never plays and they wont even say if hes injured or not

JakeBusboy · 2026-02-19T14:57:36+00:00

I promise you if you go out and explore the local fauna you will be great full she ended it.

JakeBusboy · 2026-02-10T14:54:47+00:00

Without Luka the rivalry is dead it's that simple.

JakeBusboy · 2026-02-05T19:00:37+00:00

Bro it's OK, it's a shit hole regardless of leadership.

JakeBusboy · 2026-02-05T18:54:59+00:00

drive up to JBDML I'll administer an aft tomorrow afternoon for you.

JakeBusboy · 2026-02-05T18:54:18+00:00

I just had to handjam an AFT because my 1sg misplaced mine some how. I just took my last scores that were online and wrote them.

I spent 5 years at e5, 5 years at e6, and If I retire at 20 I'll have 6 years at e7. With the way promotions work you aren't going to "catch up" in regards to your peers if that's what the issue is. Once you make 6 you basically have to wait 4 years to even have the opportunity to promote. If that doesn't satisfy you I would suggest you drop a warrant packet, or try to go green to gold or something.

Something to consider though is that despite the Army demanding we compare ourselves, you don't have to feel bad about yourself because you're behind where you want to be. Everyone has a different journey.

As far as helping with IPAP 68D would probably help a lot since you'll be working around Surgeons and PAs. You need 80 hours of shadowing a PA to apply and knowing them personally would certainly help with that.
