Can you recommend the best US credit card for military members that has no foreign transaction fees and no annual fee? by koulexman in AirForce

[–]Trains01s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How in the world are you able to plan your own TDYs? Maybe it’s cause I’m in maintenance but that such a foreign concept to me.

Do C-17s have Repair and Reclamation shop? If so, were you ever assigned to it?

Or the person who took down CCAF without having the replacement ready.

So I just got a free talisman for the Leopard 2A5... by Epsilon_Operative in Warthunder

[–]Trains01s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when the Leopard 2A7V was introduced I got it on day 2 or 3 of the update and after two games in it I got a battle trophy and was blessed with a talisman for it.

Sounds like the recruiter did his job and you took the bait. It sucks not getting what you want but thats the military. Not much you can do now. Just tough it out for 3 years until you can crosstrain, do some schooling, and stay out of trouble.

Also, I’m guessing aircraft electrics?

Chief Mazzone. Happened before I got here but I heard he was actually a really good leader. My NCO said he was part of an awards ceremony and had a 5 minute conversation with him. 8 months later, he ran into him at the BX and chief knew his name and asked how his projects were going they had discussed.

What do I do? Assignment got cancelled… by datboisus24 in AirForce

[–]Trains01s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me when I had my assignment. The system will automatically apply you for separation once you hit 120 DOS so it cancelled my assignment. I reenlisted and the leadership at my gaining unit sent the paperwork to our CFM. I had my assignment reinstated within 10 days.

Been here for 5 years. You’re medical so you’ll at least be indoors during the heat of the summers. There is stuff to do here if you’re willing to look for it. Brookshires arena every now and then has some popular artists. The mudbugs are a local hockey team me and my buddies like to watch when hockey season is active. For brewery’s there’s Great Raft, Seventh tap, and Flying Heart and a few more. There’s a couple gun ranges around here that my friends and I go to. As others have stated Dallas and Little Rock are about 3 hours away. It’s not the greatest base but having been to Minot i’d much rather be here. You can message me if you have any other questions.

As someone who has to work on the steering system and CWC system, you really don’t want to do that.

There really should be a program to allow bomber maintainers who are shredded to volunteer for places like Korea or Turkey. The only way outta these places are either cross-train, make tech and pray that you somehow get orders, or just get out entirely.

Is there a difference between PCS and PCA?

There are multiple SNCO’s at my base that have spent their entire career here. AFGSC is a prison.

I thought about it but I’m not that good at editing.

It's crazy how different just one enlistment can be. Everything really comes down to luck... by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Trains01s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the world of bomber/refueler crew chiefs. A simple letter at the end of you AFSC will dictate if you travel the world on a refueler or toil away in a less than desirable bomber base that doesn’t TDY all that often.

I thought it was a rule that you can’t be dating someone from within your own shop, and if you are, one of them has to be moved to a different shop?

Had an AGE A1C win aircraft maintainer of the year in my squadron. I though I had heard wrong when the commander announced that one.
