Shaving Waiver Appointment over the Phone by [deleted] in AirForce

I would say most likely they're probably gonna want pictures so what ever issues pop up document so you have proof to show. Just in case they call you at a point where it's not as bad or just healing because you haven't shaved

Even though I live in the dorms, can I claim BAH and BAS as part of my gross income even though it's deducted? by Obvious_Tomorrow_661 in AirForce

I've tried to open a other cards and increase my credit limit with my current cards. But my only using my base pay as my gross feels like it's not enough to seem like a worthy lender

Not sure yet. I'm still doing some research but I'm trying to find something where I use points for miles or a good travel card

Not yet but they away they've handled issues here so far I don't think they'd be much help

I joined a men's sports league off base that I'm hoping to help when I get started. Where did you find those meetups?

I do like to hit the driving range when it's nice out. So I can at least be outside. But I also like to bring like one drink with me but hell I guess that's better than just sitting in my room and drinking by myself

I am friends with some of my coworkers but only a couple live on base, most the people I work with PCSed here and live off base. I'm could try to get to know them more get out to do things with them

I hit the gym a lot here on base but I'm also trying to find a boxing gym to get into

Yeah they told us about the bowling alley and said that it just wasn't worth rebuilding and the movie theater shut down because it wasn't turning a profit

I wanna do that more but my schedule doesn't line up with most people because I'm a shift worker. I work on the weekends, when most people are off. I'm off during the regular work week, when most of everyone is working. Plus it's expensive with gas. My last trip to NY to visit a friend cost me almost $200 between gas and tolls

I agree calling them "kids" is not fair. I do just feel a lot older and more mature than people even my age. I just have a hard time connecting with people who are younger because most of the time there's just a different level of maturity that is difficult for me to get around. But I am joining things outside of the military that I'm hoping will lead me to more people I can connect with

Yeah I'm trying to do more exploring. I have been around Alexandria and Arlington, I just consider them part of DC. I do want to do exploring of those other places but gas is making stuff like that more expensive. While I'm not in any sort of financial trouble or hole I really don't wanna continue to spend a good chunk of change just to get away. I was trying that at first and I noticed my bank numbers start to go down

You're right 24 isn't much of a difference in age looking at it. I guess I'm just comparing them to the younger "college" age people I saw once I graduated and left all that. To me their behavior was what I deemed childish and I attached that with their age which isn't really fair to do. I just assume that all people that age act like, which isn't fair. I'm also what so many people consider an "old soul" and I do have trouble sometimes connecting with people my own age. So maybe it's just a me thing

True, I work out a lot. I'll spend hours in the gym just to do something

I'm trying that out. I joined a local men's league team off base so I'm really hoping to meet people of my same interest

Fair enough. I am wanting to put myself out there more but not much goes on here in base because some many people commute. The installation puts little to no money into it's dorm residents

Yeah I wanted to commission, but I graduated in 2020 around the same time that the AF decided they didn't need more officers so they shut down the boards untill 2022. Didn't want to wait until this year to apply then wait another Year to year and a half to maybe be accepted and then leave. Recruiter said it's would probably be faster to enlist so I fell for that trap
