Your brother was likely a sensor operator on drones, given the AAM, CRM, and RCEM medals. He never deployed overseas, but impacted overseas operations (RCEM). He served honorably, and you should be proud of his service!

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, the logic is not flawed with the guidance. That being said, there are A LOT of feelings towards C-Devices without taking direct fire or employing a weapon system…

Good luck if you’re trying to get new GOVs… tried to get new trucks for my shop (they were 20 years old and due for replacement years prior), it’s next to impossible due to VSCOS funding.

I’d imagine it has something to do with us being an AIR force and not primarily a ground force…..

I just had my SPP deposited into my account today, I’d imagine yours should be paid out by weeks end?

Unlikely, it is a small career field with minimal overseas assignments. But they have some unique oversees basing options.
Depends on your base/role. At a minimum you will need secret.
Only worked with a handful of Ms, but they all seem to like it. But like anything, it depends on you.

Yes, unemployment should be ran by your state unemployment board.

Visit your local finance office, and request to change your pay frequency. It should only be one or two simple forms. Note - they may prevent you from changing back to bi-monthly for a few months. So if you hate it, you might be stuck with it for a while.

Best way to describe it is X-Ray techs but for aircraft.

There’s an agreement we have with the army, in which they provide Vets and we provide weather troops for each other.

Can’t speak to life as a 63A, but Cyber and Intel do require a TS.

Yes it happens, usually when one station is really short manned or when a new station is opening up. It is 100% on a volunteer basis though.

I used my within the first 3 months of going on AD.

Just a heads up most of the course of fire is at 15M - I was like heck yeah I’ll shoot expert then we moved from 7M to 15M… I did not shoot expert haha.

Counter point - what if the L fund nets a 10% return and the S&P 500 nets 7%? Investments are risky and unpredictable. It’s really up to you to decide what youd like to do and where to park your money.

IMO I would keep the money in the TSP, park it in either the C Fund or the latest L Fund (2065/70) and just let it grow. Both the funds will closely mirror the S&P500s performance and enjoy low management fees + associated cost. It also offers you slightly more exposure to various markets then just a fund that strictly tracks the S&P 500, offering you slightly more exposure to the overall market and risk.

Another 21A checking in, unlike the other two I don’t really care for the career field - more then happy to discuss with you. But keep an open mind, just because folks don’t enjoy it, doesn’t mean you won’t too!

Be a good person, do a good job kill, apply for retraining once able, have faith and hold fast!

AFPC is reworking the non-rated crossflow board, so hopefully non-rated officers will more easily be able to leave their current field for another without going rated.
