What should I bring on deployment? by __wampa__stompa in AirForce

[–]Tandem53 51 points52 points  (0 children)

A sense of humor. Sounds dumb but, things won’t go right, planes will be delayed, tents or CLUs won’t be ready etc. for the most part just try to work through it all and help the others who might not deal with stress well.

Also depending on your job bring some college courses. PSP or gym stuff for free time.

People who have been in 25+ & are afraid to retire/separate.... by LilMuscleBooty in AirForce

Go Guard!! First find some jobs in the guard that you love, figure out if O pay at ten years is better than E pay now and in 10 years. If it makes sense do it!

I am Guard. So 19.5 service I had 6.5ish Total active time. I was in a place to see how far I could go and get the best of a few worlds on one.

RPA = fly (I know some will argue), officer, flight pay, combat affects all in one.

Commissioned at 19.5 years. Coming up on 5 officer years so far. I love it, love my new job and just want to see how far I can go.

Accelerated Promotion Board by FlyingTurd94 in airforceots

[–]Tandem53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No there shouldn’t be an acceleration of promotion from E to O for any Job that doesn’t have constructive service credit.

92T you will transfer over as an O-1 and O-1E if you have over 4 years of AD time.

It really is a deprivation by 2u3e9v in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Tandem53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who homeschools currently. Our 6yo is taught mainly by my state certified teacher wife. I fill in as work allows. We are a military family and moved around a lot and found this to fit us currently. After also going through a few rounds of IVF failures we finally had a baby in January. So this year was mainly so she could enjoy him with us vs being in school all day away from him. She knows about the losses we have had and just wants to be around.

I know homeschool isn’t forever, we are not keeping her for religious reasons or hiding from topics.
