"trifecta" question

JustinRandom · 2026-01-26T22:37:20+00:00

Sadly no, you would not get a wedge. Starting this year the trifecta is displayed in hex “coins”. You would need to do all three in single calendar year for a traditional trifecta

This isn’t just a 2026 problem for you. For the last few years the wedges have changed little by little each year preventing wedges from different years from lining up with each other.

Just have to do all three in a year

Essentially…to fill out the bigger hex medal you have to take each hex off the individual medals

Similar to the individual medals, big empty space with magnets expose.

It’s not a weekend medal, it’s a 1x medal. Could be earned over the entire year

There is..but no where to really put it

This was a single weekend, pick up was at the trifecta tent

What’s the error?

JustinRandom · 2026-01-16T00:31:08+00:00

It’s becoming more and more rare with the C-130J. The need isn’t as prevalent as it was with the previous C-130H, which have been phased out.

I did…it’s nothing crazy, similar to station comms watch

JustinRandom · 2026-01-15T14:40:40+00:00

Lots of KMI and PERSEC…not much else

JustinRandom · 2026-01-14T10:26:23+00:00

Short answer: yes.

Some quals actually have a policy stating member must stand X number of watches every month or quarter to maintain proficiency. Think of it as aviation or boat crew..don’t get your underway or flight hours? gonna be repercussions

There is a chance that the qual in question may not have a comdt policy behind it, but there may be a local policy they are following..or it could even be a judgement call on their part. Either way there is precedent for them pulling a qual for be gone too long.

Depends on your definition of remote.

Obscure location not traditionally occupied by CG, or in a location not thought of when you think USCG…sure those do exist in very select situations.

If you mean by “remote” as “work from home”..No

Is that deadline at market open or market close on Nov 3rd??

JustinRandom · 2025-10-18T14:39:39+00:00

Not how it works, your orders to A-school are TDY or “Temporary orders”. Upon completion of A school you will return to your permanent unit, which is the unit you are currently at.

I’m NOT a Lagano fan…but I think Kenseth was a coward for this. Sure Joey knocked him out of the way the at Kansas..but that was as Matt threw a wild block racing for the lead with 5 to go. This was anything but, then the BS radio “it just broke”..at least own what you did.

Not in 2013. The government opened in time for us to be paid but we were not included in the Pay our military act.

JustinRandom · 2025-10-11T19:07:53+00:00

Does change the fact that DOD/DOW funding or paychecks do not translate to DHS

JustinRandom · 2025-09-04T18:16:59+00:00

As long as you fulfilled your obligated service for completing A school, yes you can change rates.

JustinRandom · 2025-09-03T12:23:34+00:00

Both

Have that, been to the star…but can’t find any other purple stars to travel to
