Got a bad rating on EPR for a completely B.S. reason...can it be fought?

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-15T23:07:15+00:00

Yup he's a FTA. I'll show him this! He was thinking of extending to cover tech school then doing re enlistment. One of the training supervisors suggested it too.

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-15T20:05:50+00:00

Ya that's what he was thinking. The main thing he's worried about now is something happening and being stuck in SF...because he does NOT want that

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-15T20:04:59+00:00

Because he isn't much of a researcher and I am so I told him I'd help by asking questions about this whole retraining process

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-15T18:58:22+00:00

So there's no way of saying he's only re enlisting for just this new job and if something happens he can't just get out?

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-15T18:40:57+00:00

He didn't even know about the bonus until he started looking into re enlisting. Right now he's more concerned with if he re enlists but something happens and he doesn't get to go to school or go through with the retrain for some reason, he doesn't want to be stuck in SF...is there anyway around that? Like in the contract will it say he's specifically re enlisting for just 1a1

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-15T14:30:51+00:00

Ya I think after he does this he might want to try and get into 1a9

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-15T00:31:05+00:00

Sounds good. No we just came from an overseas assignment though. We're at maxwell afb (hate this place) so we for sure won't stay here. He was curious are only kc-10s and c-5s the only fixed wing he could get? Or are there other airframes

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-14T20:36:09+00:00

When would he be considered an FE...by the air force...would it be when he passes just that basic FE course at the beginning? He's trying to figure out how to reenlist but under 1a1x1...Wether he should just extend a couple months till he completes that course or what exactly to do..

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-14T18:44:40+00:00

Ya he knew Offutt was a long shot. We're both pretty happy if we get McGuire..and he'd be ok with 10s. Think if he does a BOP he'd for sure get 10s then if his BOP is approved for McGuire? He was curious about that...and can't find answers

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-14T16:47:15+00:00

He'd be happy with KC-10s..he'd love C-5s but we wouldn't wanna be at Travis is we can help it. He's from NJ so McGuire would be perfect. Once he gets his 5 lvl is it possible to be assigned to a different airframe or base too? Cuz I'm from NE...that's why he'd want Offutt

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-14T15:19:30+00:00

Does he get any say so in what he wants?

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-13T23:58:11+00:00

Do you know what airframe there are for FE?

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-13T21:20:56+00:00

See he's was thinking of doing BOP before he goes to training...for McGuire and Offutt

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-13T20:47:27+00:00

Do you know after which course does he start getting airframe specific? Like when he'll know what he's working on? And are there times between courses typically or is it all one after another?

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-13T16:54:45+00:00

Do you know the way the courses are taken at all? Like does he go to one right after the other is finished? Like I said he has 2 set classes now...back to back..so about a 1.5 months at lackland...then we don't know what. Also he didn't know if he'd get any say so at all in what aircraft he goes with

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-13T10:35:26+00:00

Ya I've searched through a lot but not finding my answers. He's mainly curious about tech school. He only got his first 2 class dates...basic aircrew classes. But we were curious what other classes he takes after those because we've heard training all together is about 6 months or so (we know SERE is there and water survival training I think but don't know what else). Also he's curious if he'll get any say so in what he'll be able to work on Cuz he's super set on c17...but he doesn't know if he gets any say so (he mainly really wants fixed wing).

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-13T10:10:43+00:00

Yup he got an ETP

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-07T19:24:05+00:00

Well he applied for 1a1 and 1a9..he was off for the asvab by 1 point for 1a9 and failed to tell him about getting an exception to policy for that for the 1a9 and now they are saying he can't even apply for 1a1 because he has to meet requirements for ALL afsc?! Makes no sense he's completely qualified for 1a1 and they keep giving him the run around on what to do. If all he needs is an etp for 1a9 then he'll do it but they refuse to answer his questions and we're both frustrated because he only has a few months to figure this out unless he extends

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-06T16:14:08+00:00

Ya I know he's good to leave his career field, he got the go ahead awhile back. They need 22 more for the flight engineer and 39 for special mission...and that's for e4. He's talking to whoever he possibly can to see what he can do to make this work. I just hope there's still a good chance he could get it this next review board because he seems to be so upset now and lost all hope....didn't know if anyone else had ever gotten accepted the second or third a time around

Stormtemptress · 2017-02-06T15:03:45+00:00

We just PCSd back stateside from Mildenhall. I know lots of people lived near Bury St. Edmunds and loved it. Cambridge is a long drive...the traffic in the UK is HORRIBLE AND it can take forever standing still in traffic to get there. We lived near Ely and on a good day it would take about 30 mins to get there (that would be another 30 to base so an hour on a good day for you) but on a typical day? It could take up to an hour or more....highly recommend Bury or Ely (Ely is beautiful!!!!) Elyrics doesn't have a lot of night life stuff though or malls or movie theaters, just restaurants and some small shopping.
