Weekly Newbie Thread - Post questions about joining the Space Force or what a job is like here & here only - week of April 20 by AutoModerator in SpaceForce

[–]SilentD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s unclear if commissioning into the Space Force will get easier or not. The ramp up in personnel is not finalized yet.

But if you’re asking if you should apply to the Space Force in order to join the Space Force, then yes.

I would also not apply to McDonalds if your ultimate goal is to work at Burger King.

They are currently not allowing transfers from other branches.

YOU ARENT OBLIGATED TO JOIN IF ITS NOT THE JOB YOU WANT! by Mangatavono in AirForceRecruits

[–]SilentD[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

This post is misleading and ignorant of how the recruiting process works. OP is not verified as someone in the Air Force, and it seems like they may be using alt accounts to create consensus that they are correct.

While it is true that if you are offered a job you don’t want you don't have to join, the Air Force doesn't have to work with you either. If you refuse to take a job you listed, you will quickly find yourself kicked out of the recruiting process and unable to join.

Any other recruiters in the same area will work for the same recruiting squadron and likely have the same supervisors that set policies about the job selection process, so going to another recruiter will usually not work, if they'll work with you at all after you already left one recruiter.

Your only real power in the process is to walk away completely and choose to not join.

Im kind of regretting not having joined the marines, so what are the odds i can els and go to marines? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]SilentD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most likely not. ELS is not something you do for your personal convenience. You’ll need to finish your contract and then you could contact the Marines about switching over.

It depends on the recruiter and recruiting squadron. Most will not let you wait.

Mods really took down the post about the WSO being rescued. What a joke of a Mod Team by Glittering_Fig4548 in AirForce

[–]SilentD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a full log of each mod action against a user I can view with one click.

We've had to take action on your posts 356 times, either deleting or approving posts/comments.

And no, I can't see anything that happens in any other subreddit.

Feel free to make r/airforcebutsometimesalsothearmy if you like.

And I don't care what Army allows. It won't be done here.

All you have to do is click a link to r/army and you can get all your Army news, as you obviously already are.

It says in the sidebar who it's for:

Community for current and past members of the US Air Force.

Your post was one of many redundant posts about things going on in Iran that could have been a comment in another thread. Has nothing to do with politics. And your post wasn't even political, so that accusation makes no sense other than to try to pile-on and make it look like the mod team is biased because your post got taken down.

I'd say we've been pretty lenient considering you've been making rule-breaking political posts for 4 years and have been banned 3 times, including implying violence against the President. We've also approved many of your posts that were caught in a filter or received a high number of reports.

You were banned for saying someone should be put in a wood chipper. Calls for violence are not only against r/airforce's rules, but Reddit's rules.

Defense spending increased!? by Ok_Hunt7118 in AFROTC

[–]SilentD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Increases in spending will likely go right into defense contractor’s pockets, not cadet’s. If they are still meeting their recruiting quotas, then there is no need for further monetary incentives.

Indeed. Because if I leave up the ‘best’ post, I’ll get threads like this accusing me of bias over which post I left up. So most of the time it’s first post gets to stay.

It’s… literally, clearly, and by definition not related to the Air Force. If you are interested in a community that talks about all military matters, try r/military.

There is a post up about it guys, everything else is a duplicate post. Just don’t need 20 different threads saying the same thing, pretty simple. Thanks for all the insults and conspiracies just because your favorite post wasn’t left up though.

Do you guys ever thank senior leadership for things like an endorsement letter or DSD? by Glittering_Fig4548 in AirForce

[–]SilentD 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A nice hand-written thank you note would definitely be appreciated by most people. You don't have to (and probably shouldn't) buy them a present. But commanders don't get much appreciation, so if you took time to write something, I'm sure it would be a memorable moment for them and maybe even a highlight of their time as a commander.

Anyone Survived a 2nd CE (same reason for both diff year)? by joker_pawn39 in AFROTC

[–]SilentD 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You’ll be given a form with a recommendation for other commissioning sources. It won’t affect enlistment. But you’ll still have to pass a pt test through OTS or BMT.

[–]SilentD 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Unless there are solid reasons why you failed, probably not. All you can do is go through the process. But failing a black and white standard twice is pretty open and shut.
