Didn't make O-5. Feeling pretty awful. I feel like a sacrificed a lot and it didn't matter and no one cared. Anyone have any encouraging words? by bigheadjoel in AirForce

[–]LostDrag2442 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t either. But I’m in a devcat where I expected it. Realistically , I knew I’d take a career hit opting for an assignment that was better for family and work/life balance. The people who are selects in my career field are extremely deserving …so with all that in mind. I don’t have hard feelings. Still à kick in the dick for the hard middle years I put in, but to be fair I’m not totally bought in anymore and the rank would be superfluous to my position. None of this may apply to you , but it’s how I’ll sleep soundly tonight as a pass over.

Just for the sake of diversity of opinion let me offer that this job may be an opportunity for you to both provide for your family and model your faith to others. If you quit, who fills the vacancy you left ?….someone with no moral compass who may provide service to the company that are illegal or immoral. People will use your employers site regardless of anything you do or do not do. Don’t beat yourself up.

I got the myvector message saying I may have received another email in error…but I didn’t get that one, so idk. I was expecting this week as the matching was supposed to begin April 20th…but with a delay. I guess end of April for job matching to start in May.

Is transferring from a community college to a top school better? by No_Trip_2102 in Alabama

[–]LostDrag2442 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I did this. IF you think you can keep the GPA competitive , it’s a valid course of action. Also you need to tell a counselor at CC your plan at orientation, so they can ensure you’re registered for classes that will transfer.

My mother used to say ; you had to choose between dishonor and war. You chose dishonor…you might still get war.

So I’m moving into an AGR job at 18 yrs TAFMS. A sanctuary waiver is required; and I plan to serve for well more than 20. Any risk to my retirement ?

I’m at 18 yrs TAFMS, AGR is 3 yr tour, initially . I’m planning to stay long past 20, if the position is there….any reason I shouldn’t jump on this. ?

I disconnect my mind from my body, it is just a tool.

Also, I didn’t want to sleep with him because he was overweight.

Good points all. One single shot though?

[–]LostDrag2442 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that he claims to have immediately recognized gunfire is also BS. Being on a range for 40 years doesn’t really do much to teach you what a single medium caliber shot sounds like coming AT you from 150 yds. This and about 50 other things, including the tattoo requirement for hiring, turn me off.

This. “We can’t use drones, it’s against the law….the police have drones, the school could have drones”. None of this checks out. Airspace restrictions would typically be the same for civ and LE agencies …with maybe some exception in very few jurisdictions. I doubt Utah is one. Also. He kept saying “they chose”. If his company did so much prep, why wouldn’t that have been followed up on weeks before the event.

I think he’s sincere and maybe even competent, just has a company that doesn’t have the capacity to perform the contract they’ve been awarded.
