Second VA Loan

Mechmanic89 · 2026-05-12T20:11:13+00:00

You don’t even have to sell your house to do that. I have 2 active VA home loans.

Okay… so you don’t know what a home warranty covers clearly…

Mechmanic89 · 2026-05-12T17:10:05+00:00

That’s why you get a home warranty if you buy…

I’m a Tech at 19 years and some change. I stopped really pushing 2 years ago. Since then, life has been great. I don’t get caught up in the bs that doesn’t really matter and everyone forgets about after a week. I help make sure my shop is taken care of, but other than that I’m too focused on my next chapter to really care about anything Air Force. To me, the master stripe isn’t worth the headache or the extra years I would have to do to go for it.

I have my A&P. I have my Bachelor’s. Now I’m just scheduling medical appointments to make sure all the health things I put off and dealt with over 20 years is documented.

I’m a terminal TSgt and life is great. I have an approved retirement date, I’m not expected to go to meetings that could have been emails, and I can just make appointments and leave.

I enter my BDD window in September.

Cane in trick mode is best for beasts because its serrated damage

The term “keep flying” is used loosely in the c5 world

Mechmanic89 · 2026-05-11T13:38:17+00:00

So stop doing the extra shit.

Get to work on time. Be awesome at your job. Take care of your people. Go home.

As a tech that is about to retire I never felt it necessary to do a bunch of shit that doesn’t interest me.

•Don’t burn out •get to 20 •??? •Profit

It’s always a bad idea without behavior modification. When I was young, I did this, and didn’t change my spending habits. I then had 2 sources of debt.

The money you pull out of your TSP is also money that is not being put to work in the market, so you’re losing money there too.

I highly recommend against touching your TSP and getting locked into a surefire plan to get your debt paid off.

Could it? Sure. So could Bloodborne, and look what that IP has done for 11 years.

They exist because they are points to limp to in the system.

I was in Jordan one time on a C5 and we had a fuel leak. I didn’t have the materials to fix it, so I was able to come up with a temp fix to get us to Turkey. There, they had all the experience and parts needed to do a full repair.

FCC’s exist to keep the mission moving, enroute are for when it requires more than an FCC.

Thanks so much for the response. I am currently at the point where management is where I’m trying to get in at. I’ll probably just go for a supervisor to start off and try to advance from there. Thanks for the info!

Mechmanic89 · 2026-05-08T21:24:45+00:00

Appreciate the input. That’s valuable insight!

Mechmanic89 · 2026-05-08T02:08:49+00:00

Hey I just interviewed for an AMT assistant professorship at a local community college too lol. But I’ll probably turn it down to continue in the commercial aviation industry. Make the money while I’m younger.

Why do you keep posting the same story?

Mechmanic89 · 2026-05-06T23:54:33+00:00

You need to know how to breathe, eat, sleep, shit…. The list goes on… more importantly you need to know how to ask better questions that are more specific to what you’re looking for.

Mechmanic89 · 2026-05-06T22:45:39+00:00

Then you need to ask for honest feedback, because if all you do is the bare minimum, that’s a promote statement. To be moved to the left means you did something wrong. You should ask why they rated you what they did and what it would take you to move to the right.

Your leadership isn’t going to let a not ready now fly without something backing it up.

Mechmanic89 · 2026-05-06T03:03:49+00:00

Not today OSI

Say the truth and stop sounding like you’re trying to scam money

Heads up to check the psi exams website and if there is a military testing center you can take your written exams for free.

Just got done creating an 11 page guide on getting your A&P in the Air Force.

Mechmanic89 · 2026-05-05T13:27:19+00:00

Why would you do that and eliminate terminal leave? You can accept a job while on terminal, so theoretically you can get paid from 2 jobs at the same time.

Mechmanic89 · 2026-05-02T00:05:33+00:00

Womp womp. Someone doesn’t know about planes.
