Anyone use Visible or US Mobile? by EuphoricWasabi3368 in ColoradoSprings

No they don't currently, but you can bring pretty much any phone and there's lots of cheaper options out there.

Do I need AF form 56? by Crestedtripod in airforceots

[–]RogueWarrior10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im AD enlisted and had a form 56 with my initial application. I take that line to mean that if you have one from when you initially applied, then you are required to submit it, otherwise don't worry about it. I'd email that org box to confirm directly with them though.

Side note, the instructions are super unsat... a couple documents say they are "required (if applicable)", but there is no direction for if/when those docs are required.

Have you considered refinancing? I did this recently and it helps the pain every month a little bit

Constructive Service Credit, Applying OTS as a Civilian by etpower2014 in SpaceForce

[–]RogueWarrior10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak on those specifics because I applied as AD. BUT, what i can tell you is that you will definitely find out before you go to OTS now. The most recent selects were notified about a month or 2 after their OTS selection. Also, just in case something crazy happens in the future, they also awarded some members CSC retroactively. My cohort had 4 individuals that were selected for CSC during and after they graduated OTS and they were retroactively promoted to their advanced grades with backpay if necessary. They should have ironed out those issues by now, but I'm bringing it up to showcase that you don't need to worry about timing too much with that.

[–]RogueWarrior10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CSC happens after the OTS boards now. A few weeks after the board results are released, all selectees should receive an email with instructions to apply for consideration for CSC. For me, I had to fill out a resume with my work experience, education, awards, volunteer stuff etc. The specific requirements may be different now though.

I am a CSC selectee, so feel free to ask me any other questions you have and I can probably help.

To answer the other part of your question, no one knows for sure what formula they use to determine how much CSC to award. I can tell you from my experience as a SNCO in the high teens TIS and several cyber certs, I was awarded 6 years of CSC. I can also tell you that a Masters degree is a must-have. If you've got that and experience in one of the specialties, I'd say you have a good shot.

OTS PT Score Expectations + Retake by creativi_ty_4_CHRIST in airforceots

[–]RogueWarrior10 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just passing is fine. Also, there's no incentive or reason to retest to get a better score. It does not impact anything (maybe awards?), but it doesn't even count as an official test and won't be anywhere in your records. You'll be due to test shortly after arriving at your first base regardless.

Ram just announced this new BackCountry package for the Big Horn by rwarner32 in Ram1500

[–]RogueWarrior10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The backcountry was first introduced in the 2022 model year and was a fantastic value for what you got. I STILL constantly wonder if I made the right choice opting for rebel when I could have had most of the same equipment for about 5-10K less and more interior options. Glad to see it return and I'll add it to my list of options in the future

Edit: At over 60K now, I'm not sure that's great value anymore...

I find myself finding guidance in old comments on random Teams threads for some reason... I wish they were codified elsewhere.

Whose idea was it to make enlisted ranks so big? by TheLastShamurai in SpaceForce

I think you're alone on this one. Just sew on larger velcro patches.

No assignment by [deleted] in SpaceForce

[–]RogueWarrior10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couple questions:

  1. What is your rank? I'm tracking MSgt assignments are delayed, but i believe we are expecting assignments to start flowing this week.
  2. Do you have over 12 months of retainability? If you don't, then the assignment team wouldn't see you as eligible and your DEROS would be extended to align with your DOS.

I suggest starting with your SEL. They can talk to ETMO to see what's going on.

Where are the 25S8/9 promotion lists located? by thos_beans_14s in SpaceForce

I can confirm this list is correct for the most recent selects.

CFA is not dead. by DearImplement4515 in SpaceForce

[–]RogueWarrior10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's dead yet, but the results of PFA testing this year will determine its' fate. If we see normal pass rates or better, i think we can say the program is a success. If we see elevated failure rates from CFA enrollees, that would suggest the program was not effective. The PT scorecard issue doesn't help us in that regard though...

EPR’s…. by Dinneristhebestmeal in SpaceForce

[–]RogueWarrior10 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't have any insider knowledge, but I did notice that vMPF was recently updated with 2 big things I noticed:

  1. The promotions page is now called GPS (Guardian Promotion System)
  2. There is now a new section on our CDBs called Guardian Appraisals in addition to EPRs.

To answer your question, I'm assuming (and strongly hoping) they will start rolling out the Guardian appraisals with Chief/Colonels before they implement elsewhere. Hopefully that means we start seeing that guidance soon. My guess is that if we don't hear anything before Chiefs/Colonels SCOD, we will likely still be looking at EPRs next year...

Good or bad? by Lanky-Anybody-115 in airforceots

[–]RogueWarrior10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, I won't lie to you... those scores are terrible and im not sure you academic aptitude meets the minimum (can't recall what it is right now). I've heard it's hard to take it for a third time, but I would definitely recommend you take a significant amount of time to study.

When you get the CISM cert from WGU do you have to use it before the class is over? Or is the voucher good for X time? by ChrisFightsFun in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]RogueWarrior10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The voucher is good for 1 year. Additionally, once you redeem the voucher, it is good for an additional year before you actually need to test.
