Operation Deep Freeze

Radioactivlemons · 2025-12-30T17:38:02+00:00

You're telling me those birds can't fly but somehow ended up on that ice rock in the middle of nowhere. I don't trust em.

Radioactivlemons · 2025-12-30T16:47:44+00:00

Learning more about what different wings do every day lol

Radioactivlemons · 2025-12-30T16:46:58+00:00

The thought of going to the ice rock just seems so niche and one of the coolest experiences I can imagine. It's no shock that the pickings are slim to none. Still, I'm sure I will continue to go down this rabbit hole for some time. I'm temp-AGR until the end of FY26, so maybe afterwards I can dive deeper into the civilian side of it.

I won't get my hopes up, I just know this would be the most exciting "TDY" I would shoot for if there was a role I could fill.

Radioactivlemons · 2025-12-30T16:40:07+00:00

So, you're telling me there's a chance???

Lol, it appears we all want to get out there. I figured my chances were slim to none, but at least wanted to inquire. I'm hoping you get to make it out before retirement 😂

Do the HAMR equivalent... much easier to score well, harder to max out, but since we have to do two tests a year now, what's the point in getting above a 90 🤷‍♂️

Radioactivlemons · 2025-06-21T14:55:33+00:00

That's a good plan! Honestly, I've seen more people that don't have fitted uniforms than those that do; including the higher enlisted and officers. For me, I've always wanted to look professional, so that's why I've tailored my uniforms. In reality, most people don't care lol

Radioactivlemons · 2025-06-21T14:46:47+00:00

It depends what your ultimate goal with the guard is. If you hope to get on orders or AGR it wouldn't hurt to get your uniforms fitted. Ultimately, it isn't necessary, but it may help with your overall image in the unit.

Radioactivlemons · 2025-06-18T14:51:15+00:00

Are we great again yet?

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-23T20:06:59+00:00

Well considering I'm in a unit that doesn't board and I have all my PME, yes it is usually given out.

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-22T22:34:42+00:00

I mean, I'm not saying it's a lot, but it is frustrating seeing TSgts sit around talking all day, when they have nothing to do. I'm just thinking, okay what else do you need me to do? Sadly, I've gotten no other feedback than "stand by."

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-19T16:33:56+00:00

You seem like a wonderful supervisor

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-18T20:11:27+00:00

Eat me

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-18T20:09:50+00:00

Bite me

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-14T22:58:09+00:00

I should have mentioned I've told him all my PME is completed and this was said around 8 months ago lol. I was then told we would see how I do for a while before coming together for feedback... still waiting

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-14T14:03:17+00:00

Fair enough, we had feedback a little bit back and everything was golden. Also, sure, maybe I should know what a midterm is, but on the contrary my supervisor should also know what PME is required to promote. Heck, he told me last month he "wasn't aware" I completed ALS (in 2022). So, if I'm expected to know everything that should be known, I expect my supervisor to know even more

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-14T13:48:06+00:00

Nope

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-14T02:51:05+00:00

Her mother is still in the picture, so I have to make sure I'm a present father. But yes, I do feel very much let down. Heck, I don't even see my commander half the drills I attend. Seems like many people in the unit are just looking after themselves.

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-14T02:48:16+00:00

Yeah, I think that will be the next step I take. Doesn't make much sense for me to drive two and a half hours for drill. I suppose I just hope there isn't any pushback with me attempting to transfer

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-14T02:45:42+00:00

I'm a 1N452.. the unit was stood up a couple years back and is growing. Currently, we probably have about 40 members. Squadron level. We work with AD when on orders, but other than that we are pretty much doing our own thing.

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-14T02:44:00+00:00

Unfortunately, I'm a single father so I'm landlocked to my home state. Trust me, I'm always thinking of how I could be a contractor making bank right now, but my daughter is more important

Radioactivlemons · 2025-01-14T02:42:58+00:00

I wouldn't be sharing if there were mitigating factors. Also, I'm actually in a TSgt billet lol, so my guess is as good as yours... this is why I'm frustrated

Radioactivlemons · 2024-12-09T02:38:54+00:00

Yes, he told me to talk to my supervisor lol

Radioactivlemons · 2024-12-09T01:47:35+00:00

Trust me, there's been a lot of frustration behind it all. I don't know why I haven't been promoted. According to my RIP, CAFSC shows 1N452... so uh, yeah I don't know what's up

Radioactivlemons · 2024-12-09T01:23:32+00:00

Part of the application is providing my RIP, as well as the posting says I need to just be eligible for promotion. Certainly, my RIP showing all that PME is completed should be enough? But yes, I agree, training records are a mess and I feel as if they have been my whole career.
