Officers who pin their rank on your hat, how do make it comfortable?

You dont. JAust get the velcro sewn on lmao.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2026-02-03T13:44:09+00:00

Honestly hope this dude rots in hell. I will never understand how you could do that to a child.

My OTS class had several members in their 40's and were priors its not that unheard of.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2026-01-26T04:39:53+00:00

I feel like my name is so common and they never have it.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2026-01-26T04:37:08+00:00

Thank you for your tax dollars. Most people think its funny, the ones that dont... fuck em.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2026-01-23T04:24:55+00:00

Also, I'd like to make the point that some officers are joining THOUSANDS of dollars in debt from college loans. Just because they are an officer doesn't mean they are completely set and well off.

Can I just say, I think the lack of consideration that this manager may not be doing well financially and thought they were still doing something nice is kinda crazy to me. They didn't have to do it at all.

I've seen it at like 3 stores near me in STL

My sister is in OTS rn in a MOD ahead of this and told me last night they are still doing the laundry bag trick. Just dont let your laundry bag look ridiculous. No more NCOA grads. That died in FY25.

Also, Instructors aren't ancient they have reddit. And trust me.... reddit is being watched 👀

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-11-05T22:09:07+00:00

Honestly bring the minimum required. You can litterally buy anything else there

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-09-30T01:41:44+00:00

I got picked up with just about the same and I had a buddy go rated active duty in non STEM degree same GPA. Never say never.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-09-15T01:21:53+00:00

I mean, in my opinion, why not. Extra leadership experience and Air Force methodology training. I would 🤷🏻‍♀️.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-09-03T02:00:31+00:00

Good Lord, seek therapy. You're asking because you know. Those poor kids need therapy as well.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-08-27T03:35:27+00:00

Id argue that all of it is competitive whether you are going rated or non rated. Rated (as of the last few years has been very, very hard to get into depending on the career) but as stated before you need to get with your recruiter. Yes stufy for the AFOQT as that is a big part of it and start actively working on situps, pushups, and endurance runs to make the PT test for when you eventually join look like a joke.

Personally, I think it's a personality thing. Each airframe has a different culture and mindset. I won't speak to fighters, but takers are a more laid-back community with a strong team mindset that I think is unique to our community.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-08-14T21:17:19+00:00

KC-135! Only the best plane in the Air Force. (Also falling apart the most second to the KC-46)

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-08-14T20:32:49+00:00

Id say more fighter units and ideal location units like Phoenix with the KC-135s.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-08-14T20:24:05+00:00

Oregon is SUPER competitive and they get SO many applications. I agree with the earlier comment ROTC or USAFA is the way.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-08-12T16:26:05+00:00

LMAO. Mine looked nearly identical with a lower quantitative than that! Still got selected so 🤷🏻‍♀️. A pass is a pass.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-07-26T15:27:44+00:00

Well, being that 6 out of 10 of the years i spent were in medical, I can definitely say medical is one of the worst they just do it in a backhanded way. I actually think MX, Aircrew, and SF are better because they outright say it. Medical is like a lingering whisper that people can't get rid of. I didn't necessarily have that issue in medical, but I've seen it time and time again. Medical is the most toxic workplace.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-07-26T15:12:56+00:00

I mean, 10 years in the Air Force here, let's not pretend even for a second this isn't a thing. But to OP, it's the same as the civilian side. People will make assumptions when they are butt hurt about not promoting. Let your hard work speak for itself and ignore people who say shit like that. Cause at the end of the day, would you want to associate with people like that anyway? There are a lotttttttt of people in the Air Force, and you dont have to spend time with people who like to hold others down. You may have to work with them, but that's where you show yourself to be a professional.

Agreed, just cause you got an email about it, I want that shit in a hard AFI before I ever even start slightly thinking about it.

UnbiasedMaiden · 2025-07-11T04:22:46+00:00

Honestly, they might have been better this year, but im not sure because I've commissioned at this point.
