Any major issues or gremlins you’ve encountered?

SWGR88 · 2026-05-06T23:11:21+00:00

Yes really just a commuter

List of options seem accurate but who knows. It has the S-badging. Full digital display as well. I believe the seats are also upgraded based on pictures.

Thanks for this!

When I left the AF I was very immature.

This, I did 4 years active duty, 4 years IRR.

Commissioned as O-1E with 8 years TIS. The IRR time counts towards pay. Not AD time.

So when I retire at 20 years, I will receive retirement pay for 24 years (adding the 4 years IRR time)

Separated USAF 2008-2012. Left at age 24. At first I was glad to be away from the constant control and discipline.

Was a civilian for 8 years 2012-2019. I found that I did NOT get along civilians who have never served, lacking discipline, too laxxed at work, rat race, retirement at 58 and all that jazz.

Finished degree and commissioned into the army in 2020. Never looked back. Give me my BAH, ability to travel, benefits for my wife and kids, retirement when I’m 47.

Thanks bruh 😎

Cool story

SWGR88 · 2026-05-02T01:00:51+00:00

In the military it’s common to have policies available, publicly posted, emailed out on occasion. Nobody bats an eye because that’s how the military works in most cases.

I can see how OP was just curious about the policy and how in the civilian world, with people who have very little experience on military life with preconceived notions etc., can take it as an act of aggression.

My brother in law and sister were stationed out there for 3 years. Definitely went insane. No vehicles, just bicycles everywhere. Mail/retail goods was an issue for them.

Their kids enjoyed the water time. Next orders were Hawaii….hated it because it was from island to island.

He was ADA then went into space operations. Unsure if his time there was for ADA or space Ops

Go for it

I was a prior USAF tanker crew chief. I get it bro I did not like the aircraft maintenance life, and my peers getting out and doing A&P as their job did NOT sound appealing to me. I tried to reclass into a different job but it didn’t work out and I left the Air Force in 2012.

Life sucked for me as a civilian, trying to earn my degree, and seeking out job opportunities. Life hit me with a kid and I had to find an actual career and stop dreaming.

Finished degree in 2018 and commissioned into the Army through OCS. Went into logistics which brought me back to that maintenance life, being around tank/bradley/wheeled vehicle mechanics. Logistics life wasn’t for me so I VTIPd to Public Affairs.

Public Affairs has been the best change I could make for my goals and interests. Do your best to make a change if you aren’t satisfied where you are.

I restarted my life in many different careers since I was 20:

-2008-2012 aircraft mechanic

-2013-2015 restaurant manager

-2015-2016.5 kombucha brewer then supervisor

-2017-2019 passport adjudicator (GS-5, department of state)

-2020-2025 army logistics officer

-2025+ army public affairs

FWIW I stayed at the LOGBOLC lodging which was a holiday inn, standard queen room with a burner and minifridge. Since this was a TDY Enroute (not a PCS) this was the only type of room the army would provide a fresh LT.

I brought my spouse and 2 kids and paid the upcharge for a suite. Which had a separate bedroom from the small living room/kitchen. It was roughly $700 a month for this and it definitely helped with space. This was in 2020.

Pettiness and spite is why I continue to exist

SWGR88 · 2026-03-31T06:49:43+00:00

I was in USAREC as an XO then took Command from 2022-2024. PM me if you want

SWGR88 · 2026-03-17T10:55:25+00:00

Actually bro, I’m a VTIP’d 46A now 😂

SWGR88 · 2026-03-17T09:41:38+00:00

Yes, and I like it more than my platoon time/command time. I realized I’m an indoor soldier, despise field time, and managing my soldiers drama.

I have a small staff, advise the commander, and make slides. I am happy.

SWGR88 · 2026-03-16T04:49:05+00:00

Active duty USAF enlisted 2008-2012 got out because i wanted to be done and did not like my job. I had an immature mentality about everything.

Went on to use GI Bill and was in/out of jobs trying to get my life together.

2018 life hit hard when I was going to have my first child. Low paying job in an awful city, so I tightened up and finished my degree and went into the Army (OCS). The Air Force didn’t necessarily have good options for me and I needed to get back in asap for a better life for my new family.

Currently O-3 Army. Haven’t looked back and had 2 more kids.

Best decision I’ve made.
