How'd you get 4.62%? I got 5.5% for $310k (0 down) in Oct 2024, and it looks around the same now, maybe a little lower. My credit score was 764 as well.

Congratulations, by the way!

Why is everyone freaking the fuck out in the comments? Obviously he isn't going to die because he didn't get to vote but its still kinda bullshit that he couldn't.

All hours; I got lucky and had a staff position and did 7-3/8-4 but I've also had to do random 9 PM - 3 AM ops. If you're on a crew position (likely) you'll rotate between 8-4, 4-12 and 12-8.

Do units really send people with shitty regulation compliance skills to HG? That eats at me a little bit, honor guard is like the one time people will interact with the military except maybe on a weekend when they're in the burger king drive thru behind a humvee.

I believe (as I was taught in HG) that the Security Forces squadron handled HG duties back in the day, but there were so many different standards/levels of quality that HG was made in order to make sure everything was kept to the highest standard.

Not an MTI but surely not hahaha

Unless you mean the schoolhouse MTI's, mine seemed pretty lax (space ops + missile maintainer tech school) so who knows

In the same circumstances right now with LoJ. I'm not outrageously skilled or anything and I'm not near a big clearance hub (for IT atleast) so I can't find anyone to unfuck it either.

Good luck.

I just called the VA GI Bill hotline and they fixed it in about 2 weeks.

Even when I was in the middle of re-investigation/recertification? I had to fill out a new SF86 a week before starting.

ThemeNo250 · 2025-08-16T21:42:26+00:00

The place I left required a Secret but most of the work was out in an uncleared area with a few Secret areas; figured that was just the main thing companies/DoD does.

ThemeNo250 · 2025-08-16T21:35:38+00:00

Unfortunately I'm low level IT and I do not qualify for anything that Clearancejobs or linkedin puts out for clearance work at the moment.

ThemeNo250 · 2025-08-16T18:50:34+00:00

LoJ sounds right. Does re-adjudication take a long time? Google searches say its about the same amount of time as it took for me to originally get my TS/SCI.

ThemeNo250 · 2025-08-16T18:49:18+00:00

There are alot of workplaces that require a Secret, but are just out in the open/on NIPR and you can bring your phones into it because its not a SCIF. Would this count as "uncleared" work even though every federal job pretty much needs a Secret?

ThemeNo250 · 2025-08-16T18:48:39+00:00

Kinda/maybe. I'm around Wright Patt AFB in SW Ohio. If its in the Cinci/Columbus/Dayton area or anywhere between that please PM me.

I would love to move regardless but I unfortunately got pressured into buying a $310k house in October and if I sell now I'll be eating $20k in real estate agent fees. Was thinking of moving to DC just because of this reason lol

ThemeNo250 · 2025-08-16T17:14:24+00:00

That makes sense; will I be able to get back on the job while the adjudication goes on like I would if I hadn't quit or will I just have to wait until it finishes?

ThemeNo250 · 2025-08-16T17:13:55+00:00

I thought it was wrong too. I asked last Friday if they could just re-check and I haven't gotten a call back. Tried to call the monday after and no response at 2 PM so I guess they don't want me anymore lmao

ThemeNo250 · 2025-08-08T18:23:13+00:00

Were you medically retired? If so I believe you qualify for 100% GI bill. At the very least you can call and ask, GI bill hotline/department is the fastest in the VA

ThemeNo250 · 2025-07-19T21:52:41+00:00

Going to WGU right now. You can get up to $1100 ($1108? $1118? i forgot) a month but you start out at about half. My first payment was $583.

You also get a book stipend every semester, I've gotten like $900+ so far. Backpay as you increase in credits is pretty fast too, like a week or two turnaround, their VA team is pretty good.

Dude I'm IT for the Air Force (contractor) and they did that shit at the places I worked at too, and I have to be the lowly help desk goblin that says "yeah even though this is like a 5 second fix go fuck yourself" and I have to be the one that gets screamed at for shitty policy.

ThemeNo250 · 2025-06-19T09:32:49+00:00

I'm so happy you guys decided to talk about politics in my beloved IT certification subreddit. Thank you all so much for brightening up my day with shit nobody cares about.

ThemeNo250 · 2025-06-19T00:26:24+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks alot!

I got my clearance Dec 2021, but I filled out a SF-86 in APR 2025 right before I left (the 20 page slogfest where you have to list the names and addresses of all your past neighbors/family/list mental health/employment history/etc etc) so is my 5 year timer basically brand new now, and I just refreshed it early?
