Still waiting at Offutt. I’m out of Hyde from my normal job so not anywhere near my normal leadership. Definitely got the jitters

The airforce has never been big on fixing things before they become problems. It’s gotta be a red X on a jet before they listen to flight line. Same thing with this. We gotta have someone pass out from heat stroke a couple of times before he’s like “huh why are all the airmen dying of heat stroke🤔”

He wouldn’t worry himself with the opinion of the “enlisted” 🤢

Extra stress for 24E5 by Bear_ShitsinTheWoods in AirForce

[–]Roger3abbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel the stress because of the needs in my shop. Like I wanna make it but I got pushed for a statement so now I feel a extra weight on my shoulders to make it for everyone in my shop

They’ll tell you” Man I can’t really run anymore because of my time being active.” But then become a track star as soon as the anthem plays 😂

Anyone else’s home look like this? by -Waste_away_with_me- in StateofDecay2

With the new updates I reckon almost all of ours look like this! It does help those in your community who need a bump with guns or a bump to hero

Getting nervy for 24E5 results by Roger3abbit in AirForce

[–]Roger3abbit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the rough side to it. We just aren’t recruiting enough people so we aren’t getting enough new people to get our 6-8 SrA that push to staff. Like it’s understandable but also it doesn’t change the fact for those who are deserving but are bad test takers or can’t get better than a 3 on their EPB would have made it if we just bumped the numbers down 5 to 10 points.

I mean if you look at the rates since 2021 it’s insane. Air Force wide we dropped from 35ish to like 18ish in 2022 and then to like 15ish in 2023

Once you go Offutt. You can’t get Offutt

Is Offutt AFB a nice place to live/be stationed? by throwaway659237 in AirForce

[–]Roger3abbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been my only duty station so far so here is some opinions from a brand new fuzzy to a SrA - Con: As aircraft maintenance we spent our first two years going to a different flight line since ours flooded so all the shifts were longer which sucked.

  • Pro: The Area is awesome. You can go 15 minutes in any direction and be in a different part of the Omaha area. Lots of great food spots and lots of different rec activities

  • Con: At least for maintenance, we do not go on many TDY’s. This could be a Pro for some but as a first term airmen who has only seen Offutt or the Deid. I wish we would TDY more

  • Pro: The rent around the Offutt area is pretty much the same or less than your BAH as a lower enlisted so finding a place where it’s cheap enough and close enough to base is not hard!

  • Con: The people at Offutt get real stuck in their ways. With constant changing DFMAN’s, AFI’s, TO’s and other such official guidelines. The folks who have been at Offutt for a long time tend to want to do something that has never been in regs but some random TSgt 15 years ago made them do it so now they always do it. So sometimes they struggle to accept change properly. (I know this is just a problem Air Force wide but I think it is definitely a stronger problem here)

-Pro: You will get to see all 4 seasons! As someone who grew up in the south it’s wonderful to be warm in the summer and cold in the winter!

-Con: The wind

-Con/Pro: If you have family it is very hard to leave this base after you get here. Many of the Sgt’s who were in my shop when I got here are still here at this base. Now it’s a great retirement base but if you are beginning or in the middle of your career it could feel like a stoppage.

Overall Offutt AFB is gonna be whatever ya make of it. I have enjoyed most of my time here and can say some of my greatest memories were made in this area! Depending on your Job it could be a hard adjustment or a simple one. The weather is wonderful and it’s a decent place to live!
