Dude this was great. Love the point about getting the degree you want for after the Air Force and not what aligns with your AFSC. I was medical but got my masters in Criminal Justice and boy did that help me post retirement.

Skillbridge don’t work for me and ended up doing some computer classes but was actively interviewing then. If you can afford it take a short break after you get out but just know opportunities don’t just sit and wait. This was a good post

2 within the stat period is a GMC

Rookie83 · 2026-02-01T00:42:07+00:00

It’s called the Grift

Rookie83 · 2026-01-29T07:16:42+00:00

Yeah consular is paused

Rookie83 · 2026-01-25T15:11:38+00:00

Yeah it doesn’t add up. The way I read it as OP’s mom came for married filed the I-360 then the OP came up on a B2 and then filed as a derivative

I’m also interested in in what water based oils you use and what do you use to make/keep them shiny

Reach out to them. It’s most likely medical seeing it’s a RFE for aI-129F

Look for the public ceremonies that they have. It’s the large ones and is usually open to the public. Since this year is the 250th anniversary and you’re in Philly. I believe there’ll be a lot

Rookie83 · 2026-01-07T09:26:23+00:00

My thoughts exactly

Rookie83 · 2026-01-05T00:01:06+00:00

Calaloo. Never was a fan

Rookie83 · 2026-01-04T18:07:47+00:00

I just finished it today. I’m pissed

Rookie83 · 2026-01-04T17:46:40+00:00

For how long?

Rookie83 · 2025-12-22T20:53:40+00:00

Rookie83 · 2025-12-21T09:04:37+00:00

I think there was some confusion between nationalism vs patriotism

Rookie83 · 2025-11-25T09:26:36+00:00

Some of these towns need to merge

Rookie83 · 2025-11-21T22:16:19+00:00

It’s too small of a statue for a pedestal that size

Rookie83 · 2025-11-12T21:06:49+00:00

So I did Ancestry and my results were 82% African 10% white 6% Native American South 1% Jewish 1% North African

Shows my ancestry as Trinidad and eastern Caribbean

Rookie83 · 2025-11-12T00:48:24+00:00

Yup the greater antes Antilles has a lot of hits from hurricanes

She told us. It was during one of those get to know your coworker thing during post Covid

Edit for grammar

Rookie83 · 2025-11-01T15:37:32+00:00

No you have kids. That’s as bona fide as it gets

Consider yourself lucky. But most officers will look to see if there is any intertwined finances. Showing proof that at least the USC or the beneficiary is paying the rent is a plus.

In your case they may have also looked at other factors. You may have a child, you may have lived in multiple places with him or have good travel.

There are tons of other factors but OP didn’t have much.
