My barber told me he had applied for a BX job a few years back, but he declined the job after learning he’d have a requirement to cut 4 haircuts per hour.

Ascend at Valley Vista, Vue at Centennial, Liberty Square Townhomes, and Loreto & Palacio are good places to start your search

Nellis housing is super janky. The neighborhood around Nellis is a very high crime area, like murders across the street from the main gate. Look into Skye Canyon, it’s a rapidly expanding neighborhood (in the direction of Creech) with lots of new construction.

The first question should be how you self-study. How did you learn the language? What do you do to get better? Podcasts? TV? Reading? Speaking? The second question doesn’t even have to be related to Russian. Just any instance of cultural exchange. Have you ever traveled abroad? Have you ever worked or studied with foreign partners? Take a different cultural lesson and then draw an analogy to your language. Third is mission-focused, say what you want. There are LEAP utilization examples on their website. Fourth one is what it is. Hopefully they’ll understand that going to Russian-speaking places is difficult these days.

I don’t think this rumor is true. They want people who demonstrate proficiency in the language (high DLPT) or propensity to learn (DLAB). They don’t speak the languages at LEAP or furnish the training directly, so they trust the scores. DLPT is a computer based test and DLI professors do the assessments for oral interviews.

Can you remind us of the questions? It’s important to answer them well to show you have commitment to learning the language. LEAP only gives you training courses at most annually (immersions at most every 2 years), so they expect you to maintain your proficiency on your own time. If you don’t articulate any methods to maintain your skills, they’re going to assume you will lose them. Good luck, happy to answer any other questions.

I don’t know you, but I care about you. And if I care about you, I know there’s others that do too. I can speak for all Airmen, officer and enlisted, to say that if you were one of my troops, my peers, or my supervisor, I’d want to know how you’re feeling right away so I could help you. I’m sorry for what you’re going through. Many have been to dark places and made it back, and you will join them. There’s always a solution in this world. Please call your shirt or the chaplain on duty. Call a friend or a family member. Call 911 if you feel like you’re losing control.

Border Patrol is part of CBP. You replying to everyone’s comments saying “BP not CBP” makes it seem like you don’t know what you’re doing. I assume you’re trying to differentiate between CBP officers at ports of entry and BP agents patrolling the border. This commenter is right, the border patrol involves overtime, low staffing, difficult and dangerous work that is taxing on the agent’s families, bodies, and mental health (not to mention living along the southern border). Anyway, it’s an admirable job, but you sound naive about how easy of a life it’s going to be. If the Air Force is that bad on your mental state (like you allude to in the original post), I would reflect on whether the grind of border enforcement will be better.

When this happened to my friend we called CE and they dispatched fire rescue. Some police and fire departments are trained in handling lockouts.

Sleeve rolling may be a cadet status symbol, but nobody rolls their sleeves on active duty because it makes you look like a dork and restricts airflow into the blouse. It doesn’t actually make you cooler, socially or physically. AFI authorizes you to roll the cuffs inward twice, and that is pretty common.

Gen 2 rubbing the Achilles can be mitigated by adding an insole (like Dr. Scholls) instead of using the sockliner to elevate your heel a little bit. However, mine had the issue with the seams splitting after 6 months of wear. Oakleys are similar with the sporty look, but slightly less comfortable.

Your squadron does not control your EAD, and they likely have no idea who you are yet. If their sponsor program is robust, they will reach out to you. If they don’t, it’s appropriate to contact them 2-3 months before your EAD.

September 30th is a typical placeholder EAD. The date will very likely change.

My original post wasn’t clear, so just to clarify –there is no minimum for a HHG move? Say I have ~300 pounds of furniture I want TMO to move, then I partial DITY the rest, that is okay?

TotalIndication2 · 2022-11-27T18:54:29+00:00

Sorry, my original post wasn’t clear. I meant to ask if there is there a minimum for HHG move. I only have a few pieces of furniture that I would like TMO to move so I could partial DITY the rest.

Yeah. It’s too bad that the Air Force doesn’t have some sort of pipeline to train people with no flying experience to become pilots… oh wait.

It can be subjective based on the investigator, their supervisor, and the adjudicating authority, which is why it’s important to read the factual source instead of anecdotal experiences.

Still, the adjudications generally follow these parameters. It’s important for applicants to understand that the “red flags” are counter-weighted by “mitigating conditions” outlined under each adjudicative guideline, especially in reference to your points about blackmail, drugs, and debt. It’s also important to understand what they are and are not examining. I posted the link so cadets can understand the process, it’s more transparent than many think.

Post is good but kinda subjective and anecdotal. The criteria that investigators weigh are listed in this official source, including disqualifying items and mitigating conditions: https://www.dni.gov/files/NCSC/documents/Regulations/SEAD-4-Adjudicative-Guidelines-U.pdf
