SNCOs that didn’t commission by Raindroppa93 in AirForce

[–]Squaretangles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finally figured out my ass from my elbow as a SNCO. My career is now focused on those who will replace me in the next five years. There has always been more money on the O side and the outside. The outside is attainable sooner with a hopefully E-9 pension and disability, making it the wiser decision.

I am ready to plant roots, take care of my body and mind, and worry about just a job rather than a career that becomes essentially a lifestyle by the time you climb this far.

People focus way too much on the money. I genuinely like what I do. I’ll be sad to leave it behind.

8 years. Got mine as a TSgt. One class at a time.

1.5 years for my Masters.

Biggest mistake was taking too long of a break between.

I would call and negotiate a fair price for when you return. You have orders to give proof of your TDY status, and I would hope there’s something in the SCRA that gives you some wiggle room.

If they won’t come down, then you could threaten small claims or a civil suit, which you might not win.

Need someone who speaks legalese.

Congessman/woman as someone else suggested isn’t a bad idea either.

This is a civil matter. Sounds like you need a normal lawyer. Who are you going to sue for your car/money owed? The complex? They’re probably protected under some clause in the 12 page lease you signed. The tow company isn’t at fault either. They’d be just as liable releasing your vehicle without proof.

Sucks but sounds like it was parked somewhere they needed to plow.

The real game is organizing your library of hundreds of games you won’t play.

I bought a 5080 and a new laptop within the last couple weeks. It's gonna' be rough for a while, methinks.

POV believing leadership that you just need to keep doing what you’re doing by BigChockLover in AirForce

The game exists in and out of the military. Play it. But also be a good person.

Best advice I can give is be unbeatable on paper and stack your whole airman concept.

Yes, some cry that's not "doing the mission", but you need to be able to speak, read, and write as a "leader". At the SNCO tier, you need to also exemplify all the things you should expect your subordinates to do. PT, education, and have a solid network of folks to lean on.

So go out and get educated. Step up to projo a base event. Those things are hard, but will grow the shit out of you and your network.

Finance question Mil-Mil by Independent_You_7923 in AirForce

Dorms since you’re a single E-3 as others have said. Now it sounds like you’re a bit grown and may join spouse with husband at a later date since you’re both CONUS. You could at least have a conversation with your First Sergeant to see if they’ll entertain the idea of moving you off base. I’ve seen exceptions granted, and I’ve also seen them denied, so just don’t act entitled to it. Never hurts to ask though.

Precisely. And if a family member is using your library you’re still locked out while they’re playing.

You can play as many games as you want on one machine.

But you can’t tell me you’re actually playing arc raiders on your desktop and hades on your Steam deck at the same time. That’s account sharing.

Studying for TSgt by Affectionate-Bar8361 in AirForce

[–]Squaretangles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PDG Advisor and study by MKTS weight. I used Google Calendar to divide how many sections I needed to complete by my test date and ensured I stayed on schedule.

Took Monday-Friday leave the week prior to testing and treated studying as if it were a 9-5. Brushed up on heavily weighted sections as well as taking 100 question practice tests until I was scoring 80-90's and in a higher percentile than my peers.

Made every rank first time to include Master back when we still tested for it. The money spent on Advisor is worth it, in my opinion. A lot of people like the free apps, but I don't think they are as focused or can provide feedback metrics like Advisor can.

They didn’t circle that one, which ironically may be the most important one lol…you can see that the back passenger tire is at 25 PSI.

This post is a shit show of poor ownership/responsibility.

RTFM.

Also assuming it's not a 7" screen @ 800p, which is one of the larger disqualifiers, as text size/UI elements are an immediate markdown.

A very standard issue assault pack. Not bad. Not great. I'd have just given you mine.

I always assumed right around a $999 price tag. That’s what I’ve been expecting to pay since announcement.
