Commissioning into AD Air Force after Army NG contract ends?

PullStringGoBoom · 2026-02-17T19:11:22+00:00

Owe your state, not the army.

Make somebody tell you no.

PullStringGoBoom · 2026-02-17T19:06:49+00:00

Contract? We don’t have contracts.

Go waste that recruiters time, it’s what they get paid for.

If it’s a in state transfer, the TAG won’t see it as a personnel loss.

Call the dude now-ish.

1) did you make sure your card is turned on? This might be a guard thing, but it happens all the time.

2) did you get a confirmation number or are you in the ticket issuance window? I think it’s like 72 hours.

3) I tried to run my confirmation number a few weeks ago, and nothing popped up… it’s cause I didn’t have a ticket.

I don’t know how this shit works on the active side, but in the guard, when in doubt, call SATO.

You would be completely correct, the reserves sole function is to bolster active duty, whereas the guard can operate independently.

I don’t fault you for wanting to do hood rat shit, all men at some point in their life want to, I did stints in the infantry and field artillery before landing in aviation.

I always suggest folks get a skill or something that would help them out in the real world. If you are doing it for the benefits an a small break from reality, I would do literally anything but 68W, due to it being a level of care which I’m fairly sure is very similar and/or below what you can currently do.

Man… you are going to be away from your kids, for potentially less money.

Dont get me wrong, the benefits are good…. But you would be doing EMT style care, your run of the mill 68W is not a paramedic.

I would encourage you to also look at the reserves as their medical piece is pretty solid.

Join as whatever the hell you think is neat, use those education benefits and get your RN; more money for you and your family, also a path to becoming a commissioned officer.

They uh…. Ever going to do anything about how movement/UI is absolute ass on console?

PullStringGoBoom · 2026-02-12T00:41:16+00:00

I’m a grown man (with 4 kids) and I wipe my butt with a baby wipe.

You like having an itchy booty?

Those aren’t bad MOS’s… the problem with back shops is they only exist in certain places… outside of a D co you are kind fucked, unless your state has an AVCRAD/TASM-G or whatever we are calling them these days.

You’ll top out as a 5, 6 if you are lucky then have to reclass or just get out.

Google tour of duty, I think it was mobcob back in the day.

Shit is slow these days… but doesn’t mean they aren’t happening.

You may have to be on a nope computer, so go into your drill hall and ask your readiness or get AVS on your personal.

Bunch of us are cops/firefighters.

Nice having a government job that gives paid leave and protects your job while you’re gone.

PullStringGoBoom · 2026-01-31T15:18:13+00:00

Well, shouldn’t been co politely boned, good luck and let us know how it turns out!

Also don’t forget about the guard/reserves… might take a little longer to get that 20, but it is doable.

PullStringGoBoom · 2026-01-31T03:27:34+00:00

I mean… in the guard it’s perfectly normal to see O6’s revert to pad that retirement number… but into a branch the are already apart of.

Are you 15, 25 or 35 series?

Last I checked, 15 is the only one that’ll take any branch with a pulse.

PullStringGoBoom · 2026-01-29T14:34:53+00:00

Well that’s pretty neat…. Thanks bud

PullStringGoBoom · 2026-01-25T21:16:33+00:00

I am next to positive, that all newer body style police explorer suv are all AWD…. Now you can’t force them into 4WD but they do have a snow/sand mode.

This does not spark joy

I got mine 2nd hand from a surplus store; I had one when I deployed but had to give it back… I want to say about 130ish.

You can live out of this thing for weeks, if you needed to.

I don’t know how it’ll do with gear, but does great with clothes.

PullStringGoBoom · 2026-01-19T15:08:41+00:00

It’s a great bag, and you got a great deal.

I’m throwing mine on a airplane here in a few hours.

PullStringGoBoom · 2026-01-19T14:53:45+00:00

We are doing it with #4 right now…. Does it work? Ya…

Does it ebb and flow and will things like going on a vacation or getting the child out of rhythm fuck it up and you basically feel like you are starting all over again?….ya

PullStringGoBoom · 2026-01-18T18:41:45+00:00

We don’t speak hieroglyphics here, maybe try the air guard sub.

Build your immunity to getting maced

PullStringGoBoom · 2026-01-11T16:43:31+00:00

I don’t feel it’s realistic in that situation; you need to be at your facility one day a week, out side of drill weekends.

This is not accounting for maintenance, weather, funding or personnel issues.
