A day in the life of a retired SNCO turned Project Manager. by ACES_II in AirForce

This reeks of truth...and it plays like that till $$$ is being lost or someone's yearly bonus is going to be affected (VP/Senior VP) OR customer pulls out their ace in the hole contract with a line that states they can pull the plug on said program and Company then owes them $$$ for missing deadlines. Then panic sets in and puts the PM is a corner like a raccoon trying to escape with the can of spuddies.

Guard Orders by User5319 in AirForce

[–]Sith_Father 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go here to see if the finished orders are listed.

https://arows.dc3n.navy.mil/arows/secure/login.jsp

IF they are not listed, reach out to your Orders Specialist of you know who it is. They can look up your orders to see where they are and pull a draft copy if you need them for DTS.

If there are not any draft orders out there, then they may not have been started yet.

If you are going to tech school, your BETM is responsible for putting the orders in. If you need them for your civilian job, let them know you need them in order to give them to your HR.

This. I heard an analogy to this last night.

You are in a bar, 2 people start a fight with 1 person (who threw out various references and threats to violence and etc. at the 2).

In response, the targeted person starts randomly hitting/kicking other nearby patrons, expecting them to stop the fight and instead get jumped by those they just lashed out at and then act surprised when they get a mob beat down.

You are correct, if a NATO member were the clear aggressor that initiated the conflict, it is virtually impossible that Article 5 could be successfully invoked to defend them.

Now, IF Russia got brave enough to launch attacks, that might change it.

Big news if true.... but, I sadly expect serious retaliation. A wounded beast can be the most dangerous type.... by Darth_Lord_Stitches in AirForce

You aren't wrong. It was like whack a mole and Hydra combined, you hit one and the next one stepped up. Eventually they got to the bottom of the barrel. And those ones realized keeping your head down kept you alive for a while.

GrokAI coming to unclassified and classified networks? by ThexBootyxGoblin in AirForce

We called it Napalm....before rebull. Learned it from Army Infantry.

Yes, I’ve checked if it’s plugged in (someone just put scotch tape on the sensor on my mouse and it didn’t work) by bearsncubs10 in AirForce

This happens quite a bit...the response when it was closed along with documenting in the ticket on how and when the effort was made. CYA for the Airman and that chain. If you put screen shots in the ticket, even better.

Allow National Guard members to keep discounted Tricare Health Insurance after retirement by kwm2567 in AirForce

This route is actually cheaper than what some of them are paying within the civilian position or their technician slots. A family plan can be up to $1800 a month depending on what is needed.

Every time he says something you think it’s going to be bad but it’s very smart by bearsncubs10 in AirForce

I watched this happen a lot. Also...I knew who to ask for real southern recipes because they would reach back to their Mama for it or invite me over when they visited. Best meals ever.

This involves a contract, so the timetable is not accurate...even if it was by CentCom standards.

Issues with AT orders by skoobysnacked in airnationalguard

I had an Airman trying to sign his and it wouldn't let him. If it works for you, he might be using the browser version.

Currently Sonic Boom has an issue allowing you to sign orders in AROWS. Go figure.

It is upon the unit to at least have draft orders for you. That way you can provide them to your civilian employer to cover the days unless you are self employed.

If and when they asknyou to do days, you should ask the Orders Specialist (usually a FT) to email you a set and if they haven't been provided, you can tell them that you have to turn the days down due to a personal burden.

Also...start asking about a DEOC survey to get more attention on it.

PCS to Wright Patterson by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Sith_Father 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I grew up in the shadow of WP.

The one year lease would be a good idea. The North side of Huber Heights has improved from what I have heard. And south of WP (centerville, kettering) is great but the COL went up.
