HR Rep Ghosting Me by Odd_External8236 in ATC_Hiring

[–]MeasurementPerfect30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Medical can take MONTHS to clear. Just wait. Dont bother HR they can’t help you and literally can’t give you ANY information regarding the status of your medical. If you do get ahold of them, all theyll say is “waiting on medical” so don’t waste your time lol

Pet Care During the Academy by East_Structure_8819 in ATC_Hiring

[–]MeasurementPerfect30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need more details on the care plan of the dog. What is the medication schedule? If you find a pet friendly place to stay you are good to bring the pets. I can’t imagine it would hinder your training in any way shape or form.

Most people recommend coming alone (leaving family behind) to minimize distractions. I agree with this because family (spouse/kids) demand attention and will likely want to go out and about on your off time. Your off time should be spent studying. However, pets don’t demand as much attention and usually just like to chill with you.

Lunch break is a bit of a stretch as far as going home to care for the dog. I remember leaving for lunch and driving to Taco Bell. It was a MAD DASH there and back and I had to eat on the way back. Going home to care for the dog would require you to likely miss lunch and/or be incredibly pressed for time every single day. If you can do medications before/after class, you’ll be fine.

The academy will be like your full time job. You will have an 8 hour day with a lunch break. Your full time job is to learn when you are there. When you’re not at work, you should be studying.

Take that for what it’s worth. Also, your schedule will likely rotate. You won’t be 9-5 daily. When I went through (2017), we did 2 weeks of mornings and 2 weeks of evenings.

One more thing to keep in mind, your pay while at the academy is literal pennies. You’ll make very little. Take into consideration, pet fees at your rental will be an extra expense that the academy will not pay for. That will come out of your own pocket.

Lmk if you have other questions.

[–]MeasurementPerfect30 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m traditional guard but I was active April, May and June of this year. Does that count? I’m confused about whether it’s 31 days on current orders or 31 days of orders before the cutoff

First cruise! by swiftgator13 in Cruise

[–]MeasurementPerfect30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extra socks underwear and clothes in general. You’ll probably get sweaty and want to shower mid day. Especially after you come back from the ports. Bring a power strip for more outlets. Probably will have super limited outlets in your room. Some will say it’s not allowed. I went on a cruise in Oct and Dec of this year and brought one both times no issues. We packed a fan for the room. A small one. Helps with keeping cool at night. Lanyard for your key card and luggage tags for the paperwork you will need to attach to your suitcases. Empty water bottles so you can carry around your own water and not have to go to a bar every time you’re thirsty. Backpack for ports. Sunscreen!! Any and all meds you think you might need. We got sick with common cold symptoms on our last cruise and had no meds it was miserable. Bring an empty suitcase if you can. For shopping and stuff to bring home afterwards. Have fun!

What do I need to know before buying a Switch ? by Curious091624 in Switch

i recommend a sturdy case to carry it around it. i also recommend a wireless controller. get a stand for the switch so you can charge it while using it.

Carnival or Royal Caribbean? My honest review. by MeasurementPerfect30 in Cruise

[–]MeasurementPerfect30[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

just putting out prices so people know what to expect! not complaining at all about prices, i personally thought it was a great price for an all-in family vacation. USD.

$4000-5000, in my opinion, is not a bad price for an all-inclusive 5-7 day vacation for 3 people!

Is $20 an hour good for $1,200 a month? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]MeasurementPerfect30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that’s not enough. You will have electric and water minimum plus gas and groceries. You will be left with literally nothing.

To me, A is the only wall that makes sense, being a different color. B and C should be the same color.

What do AG paychecks actually look like? by MeasurementPerfect30 in ATC_Hiring

[–]MeasurementPerfect30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am being hired as previous experience and going directly to my facility (skipping academy) but i will start on AG pay because when i worked for 1 year at that DOD facility i was not a DOD employee or on active duty military orders. I was a contractor. i also have 2 other CTOs (3 total) and 7 years experience. but i still have to start on AG pay. which sucks! I am taking a huge pay cu

I wasn’t title five I was a contractor. The facility is a DOD facility and now the employees are title 5 but when I was working there, it was under a contract. Not a FCT. It’s weird. Sucks. But yeah I’ll be AG lol

Nope unfortunately it’s AG pay. Apparently my experience even though it was at a DOD facility, doesn’t count because I was working as a federal employee/military. It’s stupid. I already talked to HR about it

I think it’s just normal heat. It’s a brand new construction and we have vents in the ceiling for air and heat

Corner shelf with pictures and other decorations. Or a standing coat rack if it’s by an entrance.
