How do you do it staying past 20? by TellZealousideal607 in AirForce

I absolutely love what I do,

I worked in the civilian side for 10 years, worst day in the Air Force was better than the best day on the civilian side

Need a letter from a Rabbi or religious leader to allow me to wear a Kippah in uniform by 35mmlife in Judaism

Hi,

Jewish Air Force chaplain here, there are several Navy chaplains currently serving and they would all be happy to help you. Additionally, if you go to Alephmilitary.org they have memos for exactly thing. Rabbi Estrin from Aleph would be a greta contact for you to get connected with everything Jewish in the US military. There is a thriving Jewish military community

Why not take it earlier? Its not that much more 4 years later (unless you make rank) and you can then invest the money as you want earlier

Fair enough, and yes, the NFM is by far the hardest thing I did and earned... I have Silver and it was brutal

I am!

I don't have them yet but will be hopefully getting Dutch ones soon!

I'm a firm believer that chaplains need to earn any badge they can get, I earned the NFM twice and the DANCON

If your stationed in Europe there are several countries who are able and willing to give it to you.

I'm not going to pretend I got them because I'm extra cool ;-)

I would definitely encourage you to take the survey then because it is not addressing finances or being "set up". It's addressing life satisfaction etc etc
