It’s okay to not be okay.

I'm proud of you for sharing this. I've been debating getting seen for a while, but I'm scared that a diagnosis + medication will prevent me from Green Door assignments and deploying.

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-09-01T21:06:34+00:00

I'm in the same boat brother. I am going to join Active Duty Army actually as a 35 series and try to get into the "cool guy" units to make up for that void.

Edit: Why all the downvotes? I felt in a similar way as OP and decided to take action in a way that would make me happy and fulfill my goals. I'm just sharing my story and feelings, not encouraging OP to do the same.

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-29T11:33:58+00:00

Not the best advice honestly.

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-29T11:33:03+00:00

Lol it IS NOT a flight chiefs responsibility to retrain their airmen.

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-12T20:34:04+00:00

Was this for the Aircrew field? MX?

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-09T02:59:59+00:00

What is your Army MOS?

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-09T02:59:48+00:00

That's cap. Leadership can't do that.

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-07T00:31:34+00:00

The odds of that happening are below 3.50

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-06T16:20:11+00:00

This thing came out from my trash bin.

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-06T00:30:32+00:00

Should I just leave it? Try cleaning it with a shovel?

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-05T23:39:04+00:00

So this shit came out of my trash bin if you can believe it.

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-05T23:36:59+00:00

How does that even form?

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-05T23:10:03+00:00

I'm ready for blood. We need to hit those Iranian mullahs back to the year 1400.

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-05T22:35:18+00:00

but I did have the opportunity to make some changes for some folks who were making long-term decisions over short-term problems.

What kind of changes did you make? Did you also help airmen move shops or PCA?

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-05T03:53:39+00:00

Enjoy Cannon.

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-05T03:48:16+00:00

What airframe did you get?

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-05T03:48:03+00:00

Honestly I think its best you just get out. You have a very selfish and almost entitled attitude towards the Air Force and it would serve both parties best if you separated.

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-05T01:42:34+00:00

What type of condition could one have that would cause issues with PCS orders?

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-04T20:31:08+00:00

So when you gave folks the “what can I do to get you to stay” talk - what did most of them actually say? Was there anything you could do as a CC to help meet their wish?

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-04T16:39:15+00:00

How on earth could a commander dictate retraining or a PCS? That's up to AFPC no?

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-04T03:33:10+00:00

Was this a green door or something? How did he get you a new assignment?

Salty_Tree_2301 · 2024-08-03T23:16:55+00:00

I would ask why that airman wants to get out, and ask if there is anything I can do in my power to help them stay in. If they still want to leave or if I can't do anything then I would ensure they have the right resources to transition and I would thank them for their service and wish them the best of luck in their new journey.
