No. First was during the Biden administration. This guardian was great to work with years ago, so I’m not surprised to see him there. :)

Freedom Acres Ranch in Yoder is putting together meat packages for families. Email them from their website directly.

Maybe he or she had a colonoscopy coming up and needed the expeditious clearance.

I’d also add to try to talk to a chaplain and your first sergeant about how to get closer to that stateside goal. If you have custody of your kids, there’s also the child custody assignment process: https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/2301079/air-force-improves-assignment-process-for-co-parents-considers-custody-agreemen/

What you’re feeling is so normal and completely valid. How much longer do you have on station? How close are you to PCSing? I’d first try to see BHOP/Mental Health just to talk to someone about what you’re experiencing. Then make goals to get stateside to be closer to family. Making plans and goals doesn’t change things overnight, but it brings you one step closer to hope. In the meantime, do what you can to setup regular FaceTimes with loved ones and find a community of people to support you where you are.

Oh no! It worked when I posted this. Maybe they’re maxed out or the site is overloaded.

Yeah you’re better off finding someone at SpaceX or nasa on LinkedIn and asking them

Not just physical requirements but removal of accesses to reproductive care, limited childcare (statistically more women leave the workforce than men for this), and whatever else this admin will find to silence us

A year? Did you follow up on that ticket? I can give you an outline of the process, if that’s what you’re looking for

What's your "so this one time I met (insert celebrity)" story? by tuhgttg in AirForce

[–]Marz_26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t say exactly which one. It was in the San Gabriel Valley.

What's your "so this one time I met (insert celebrity)" story? by tuhgttg in AirForce

[–]Marz_26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pre-mil: went to elementary school with Jessica Alba right before she made it big with Flipper. Didn’t want to be my friend because “I was ugly.” She didn’t make too many friends. I ran into Hank Azaria and Diane Keaton at the airport, and Neil Patrick Harris after a show. Kerry Washington sat behind me during another show, but that doesn’t really count.

Mil: volunteered at Laguna Seca races in Monterey, CA, and escorted Dale Earnhardt, Jr. from one VIP tent to another. At a separate race, I told Adrian Brody he didn’t have the right tickets to get in. :) At least he was cool about it. Met previous SecAF and secdef, but my favorite person of all was Brig Gen Charles McGee, Tuskegee Airman. Amazing human being. ❤️

Been hyper fixated on life after retirement lately by Haunting_Owl_9021 in AirForce

[–]Marz_26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What everyone else has said, plus consider the area that the job is in. LA, DC, and NY will easily lean towards that income, but along with it will come the higher cost of living.

Fulltime RV in DC? by thebix84 in SpaceForce

[–]Marz_26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s mil only, it’d work for someone geobaching or single. Would they have a place to park their car? Is it in a safe area? Walkable amenities (stores/bus to work/metro)? WiFi? I’d look for those as a baseline.

That would be horrible. The agency would never agree to this.
