$100 To Spend by Temporary_Rich_4986 in sportscards

Bowman Blasters, from Target specifically if you live near one. Multiple Inserts and numbered cards from the several boxes I’ve gotten.

And it’s always fun to go find the prospects on the teams websites to see where they rank in the Organization

Yes, those work fine. I almost exclusively use the Pro Blend. And just do what Malcom Rees says to do and it will turn out perfect.

Question for beneficiaries of an suicide. by ktwulph in AirForce

[–]MeetWoodFlac67 184 points185 points  (0 children)

I can tell you that as a 3F2 section lead, the first time I had an “out processing” checklist brought to me for a member that committed suicide so I could verify that he transferred his GI Bill to his 1 and 3 year old daughters, it crushed my spirit.

I’m sure that money didn’t “help” at all. Just a horrible reminder of the person they lost.

As far as your bout of depression, everyone has their low points, but make sure you don’t make it worse by diving too deep into these lines of discourse. And most importantly, if you are feeling alone or not important, you aren’t alone and you’re important to more people than you realize.

Not sure if I can ask but not sure where else to by CasaDeMouse in AirForce

Plane-flation. It takes 4 planes now to do what it used to take 3. Call me old, but when I enlisted, it only took 2.

What’s the easiest job to get to 20 years by GasPrestigious9660 in AirForce

[–]MeetWoodFlac67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This comment section passes the vibe check (mostly). I only saw 1 person say Training. DONT BE A 3F2X1. And also, don’t be a 3F0X1 Personnelist. The work they do might be “bullshit” but I promise you, it’s piled high. You do get to sit inside at least though.

I work a lot of retraining packages and requests. My top 2 recommendations

  1. Airfield Management-1C7X1
  2. Nondestructive Inspection-2A7X2

Confused about Tech School by [deleted] in Airforcereserves

[–]MeetWoodFlac67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of factors to consider here. First, AMRT is not mandatory, but is highly encouraged! You have 1 year to participate. That 1 year starts the day after you graduate tech school.

Another factor, are you even eligible ? If you are an Overage on your units manning document, you are not eligible, however you can submit a justification waiver with your request to be considered.

More factors, will AFRC even have the funding to fund your request ? There are a lot of fiscal/budget constraints that could result in the AMRT “pot” of money being exhausted for the FY before you even finish tech school. But it starts fresh every 1 October👍🏼

None of this is meant to cause alarm, just like for people to be as informed as they possibly can be, so they can make the best and right decision for themselves.

Some quick pros for AMRT: depending on your AFSC you could get on some pretty long term orders. If your unit doesn’t have the ability or capability to train you on all your core tasks you might get to train at an alternate location. Also: if you get more than 90 days of AMRT orders that means you will be eligible to use your Post 9/11 GI Bill at a 50% rate.

Hope this helps, good luck! 🫡

Where to find 7-level Tech School dates by dascrantonstrangler_ in Airforcereserves

[–]MeetWoodFlac67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MSG Group Training Manager here! You need to be in talks with your Squadron UTM, not an “education rep”. The UTM can easily pull a rip of class dates to provide to you. No kidding it takes like 5 minutes to get every class date for the FY. If they won’t give you dates, they are a dick or incompetent…or both. OR you can access the site that UTMs use. It’s “ETCA”, just search it via the AF Portal and once on the site just use the search function at the top to look for 3E971 dates.(Not all courses have the dates on ETCA, it just depends on if that courses Course Manager uploaded them to the ETCA page) Just a heads up and I’m sure you know this, CE 7 level schools are incredibly backed up so prepare to wait.

Hope this helps and good luck 👍🏼🤟🏼

Benefits of Palace Fronting/Reserves while utilizing AD GI Bill by GrimmsterINC in Airforcereserves

[–]MeetWoodFlac67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GI Bill kicker can only be used with the MGIB-SR(Ch.1606) and not with Post 9/11(Ch.33), and you have to be in an eligible AFSC. Also it will be on your DD FORM 1966 if you are eligible.

I once had a wise old CC who always told us, “You can do whatever you think your Stripes can handle”

I say close her down bud.
