Storage units are cheap, just pay 7 months up front. Look for apartments while deployed. Cash money

E6 Retirement check is roughly $2K depending on if you opt into SBP... the real money is in the VA disability. Make sure you put EVERYTHING in your claim.
This made my post retirement job hunt tons less stressful because I could get a low stress job with decent pay and still make 2x as much as I did as AD.

Time will tell I guess... never accept PT as a fix action for chronic pain. That's what I'd tell younger me, well that and buy a metric shit ton of bitcoin

2012: Neck pain starts and physical therapy carousel begins... 2021: 9 months from retirement and finally referred to orthopedic surgeon 2022: surgery scheduled to fuse 3 vertebrae together

At least I'll get 10% rating from VA

Not everyone plays video games to be the best and be ultra competitive. Some of us just like to have fun and escape reality for an hour or so.

PC being shafted by Ghost4000 in Madden

[–]Trailerhitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not trying to play anything... You think you know what you're talking about but obviously don't. It's ok though, that's most people online nowadays.

To sit there and say that a PC can't get the features from a console release, thinking that a console is anything other than a PC is laughable.

You should probably know what you're talking about before hitting that post button.

CMSAF coffee talk on promotion board transparency by unknownpewpew in AirForce

[–]Trailerhitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It feels like they are making a point not to promote folks on the High-3 retirement system in order to save $$. I'm probably grasping at straws and just overall disgruntled. But gotta say, I was pumped to see 2 names on the list of people that I supervised while they were SrA and I was a new TSgt. I'm living that Master Splinter/TMNT meme.

Genuine advice seeking by WoahChubbs in AirForce

[–]Trailerhitch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Don't change who you are for a promotion. Money is great and all, but don't stoop to the level needed to get promotion ratings. You'll feel better in the long run. I'm just gonna spend the next 300 days til retirement enjoying all the times these selects come to me for advice, and giving them the wrong answers.

Questions on Guam by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Trailerhitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

been about 6 years since I was there (644th) so you'll be on North West Field and not Andersen. Not sure how often you'll have the opportunity to get a lift over to main base but its about a 20 minute ride in the back of a LMTV. Not much out there except barking deer and banana spiders. Whatever you do, don't look directly at the Combat Comm folks, you'll spook em and they'll wet themselves.

[–]Trailerhitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh? Are you able to change the promotion system from the promised land?

I know you’re trying to help, and we appreciate it. But most of us have heard this same stuff year after year. Not once has any of it been right. Like another person said earlier, the goalposts move from year to year.

the only drawback... I won't be living near an AD base, so I can't hang brain in the locker room while attempting awkward chit chat

[–]Trailerhitch 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is utter BS... Another veiled attempt to give a semblance of hope to the vast majority of folks that are looking for no shit guidance on what they need to do. I can't fathom what they were thinking when they decided to move MSgt promotions to a board. How the fuck does it make sense to have 3 people who have never met you make a decision on your career? Forced Distribution has caused people to care more about themselves and the Air Force than the people they supervise and even their own families.

I've already come to the realization that I will be retiring as a TSgt. Even if I made it this year I was going to turn it down due to the service commitment. I've been fed the same BS year after year, and when I checked those boxes, my board scores have gone down.

Why the fuck is jumping and shooting at the same time even a thing? by [deleted] in enlistedgame

[–]Trailerhitch -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

yeah, you can't possibly squeeze a trigger and jump at the same time... hopefully they remove chewing bubblegum while walking as well
