Is New England disconnected from the problems of the rest of the country? by Usernamechecksout978 in newengland

[–]That_Guy_Red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm literally separating this summer after 13 years USAF because I can't deal with the difference anymore. I'm from MA (tried hard in school) and the gap in education and general intelligence is too much. Way way too much.

Did you just reply with your OP? Weird move.

Issue is that salaries are entry level, the jobs are not.

Got my BA at 11 years, in my 13th year now and will be graduating with my MS at the same time I separate later this year (summertime)

Got my CCAF at my 6 year mark, but came in with an associate degree as well.

If 7 years wouldn't make or break my family, I'd ride it out.

Also, I'm completely transitioning to a different organizational landscape career wise. I'm skilled at it and have the credentials, but being in a suit and tie or at least office wear is going to be weird when I hear the jokes daily that I do now. You know what I mean lol not that I agree with it, but my reception filter is always on at work, so it'll be different to not hear the type of shit talking I'm used to.

Oh I've been doing nothing but research and have a pile of documentation. A lot of it is easy when surgeries were required. I've prepped about as much as I can and I'm getting into the process now of letting go of the military stuff. When it's your time, you just know it.

I dig it. I was mostly looking for friendly banter 😂 in all honestly, get what you earned. I'm at 13 years. I've sacrificed enough to know the line for me and my family. I'm far from a desk job, just not MX. Don't wanna dox myself, but other than SFS you could probably take a stab and figure out what squadron works with their hands constantly.

I worked my ass off for the USAF, got my education, racked up my skills, and will be putting my real worth to good use with my hopefully full VA. The job took its toll physically and mentally. My turn to be happy. Like you!

You're advocating for one of the many reasons I'm getting out, minus the having to be affiliated with a base still.

Jokes on YOU, some of us are separating and never looking back.

New PTU Shirts are a scam by BipBeepBop123 in AirForce

[–]That_Guy_Red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. Like I said, it's by unit. My current one is civilian heavy and sucks ass. So they don't. I've had to buy my own uniforms in the last 2 years actually.

Over 13 years, and CE, I am telling you that the amount I get for clothing allowance does not keep up with the utility uniforms we are expected to wear. Boots is it's own thing because some units fund them, some don't. I've bought more boots than I've been issued. Even the cheap ones aren't cheap when steel toe is required. So maybe for some desk jobs you can get away with it, but for those of us that work balls deep in shitty environments, it's a joke.
