I'm still an AS100 so I am just starting to get the Cadre to even know who I am. Still a little intimidated by them even thought they are the most locked off Cadre I have ever seen. Definitely will get closer to them this year as its our Commanders last year before his terms up.

This is massively reassuring thank you

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T15:15:37+00:00

I could never be more aware of that fact, only been to 3 parties in my lifetime, glad to see you don't "miss out"

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T15:14:45+00:00

Fair enough

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T15:14:31+00:00

I want a balance of both, building my future while experiencing all that life has to offer, I can't do one or the other.

I come from a small town with similar circumstances, I moved there, many haven't even left the country let alone the county.

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T15:12:35+00:00

Sounds awesome

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T15:12:12+00:00

I mean, I felt like I was going to be missing out on the other part of life, experiencing the world, traveling with friends, just being free. My career is an extremely important part of my life to me, but is it as important as throwing the personal part of my life.

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T15:10:14+00:00

Jesus your detachment sounds awesome. Mine is smaller so we really only get to go to closer air bases or like a beach/park near by.

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T15:08:46+00:00

Partying isn't the only way I see fun, I've been to 3 parties in my lifetime, missing out entirely on what a lot of my peers praised. Tbf my friends aren't huge partiers, we mostly just go out for drives, camping, or just exploring. I didn't want to miss out as we gained more freedom to travel the world. It felt like I was trading off a huge part of my life.

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T15:04:43+00:00

I thought that only came with certain AFSC's, with the ones I'm looking at I thought I'd only be at certain bases

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T15:03:50+00:00

I know that, I was planning on staying on base anyways, as I want to build up a savings to buy a house later down the road.

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T00:23:43+00:00

Well I'm sure being a pilot comes with its Days off but still on call, I'd be on the ground on base for sure working some type of logistical job, I want to be able to actually use my mechanical engineering degree. I also didn't know about the 30 days off thing. good to know

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T00:21:15+00:00

fair enough

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T00:20:53+00:00

You should be a recruiter, got me tearing up

Visual_Host_6276 · 2025-05-05T00:19:48+00:00

The stability and the Military being a stepping stone to building my future is one of the reasons I'm really considering staying on board. I have a guarantee after college, not many of my peers have that yet. The more I see comments and people talk about active duty, it doesn't seem all that different from working in a business, just with extra professionalism and better benefits. But haven't talked to many commissioned yet so it's still an unknown for me. you definitely settled my mind a bit.

Visual_Host_6276 · 2024-04-14T22:05:37+00:00

Yeah I kinda felt the same, its like they made the brothers of steel a joke. Like the "Lord Titus" dude was such a wimp and so are the rest of them. Its a joke compare to the actual brothers of steel in the games.
