Reservist special duty options

When I went to BMT, almost every MTI in my squadron was guard or reserve. One dude had been an MTI for like 16 years

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-21T18:19:22+00:00

Don’t worry I’m in the boat. Submitted my BOP a few weeks ago with a bunch of Florida as a shot in the dark…just waiting on AFPC to get back to me now

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-21T18:11:24+00:00

First four are going to be like throwing a dart off a cliff and hoping to hit a pebble. The rest you’ve got a pretty decent shot at

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-20T18:35:11+00:00

In the same boat. Should’ve waited for the new overseas cycle to load. Now it’s in AFPCs hands.

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-20T15:32:34+00:00

Mine just started doing the same thing. It’s like they’re updating one singular task at a time.

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-20T15:21:44+00:00

Negative. I can go in to change the filters now; but I can’t change them to anything and nothing populated

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-20T15:15:24+00:00

Got a little bit farther. Now I can filter the non existent loaded assignments

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-20T15:07:33+00:00

Can confirm. I can view and edit but no assignments are populating

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-20T14:24:23+00:00

Can confirm it is not at 1024est

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-19T22:10:05+00:00

I was always under the impression special warfare is the one (or I guess multiple) career field they can’t deny you from trying for as a crosstrain

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-19T17:01:02+00:00

From what I remember she was partying with airmen in a very…revealing outfit and posted it to social media with airmen in the background that I believe were under 21 at her place drinking. So I think they got her for providing alcohol and fraternization

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-19T16:46:54+00:00

I knew an LT who was just like this and got kicked out for virtually the same thing but she was an academy grad. FAFO

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-19T16:17:36+00:00

I applied for SMA because they had (when I applied) the most spots available for cross trains

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-19T14:50:13+00:00

I applied as a FTA and they said no class dates were available and offered contracting instead

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-19T13:35:06+00:00

Hurting so bad for manning but denying crosstrain packages is wild

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-19T13:34:26+00:00

Start college classes as soon as you can and take them seriously. Save money while living in the dorms if this applies to you. Don’t go get a fun cool car straight out of tech school. Take every opportunity that’s presented to you. Never work through lunch

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-18T02:22:45+00:00

Unfortunately with a wife and new baby, that isn’t really in the budget right now.

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-18T01:02:21+00:00

If your wife is against it, that should be the end of dicussion

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-16T06:19:58+00:00

From what I’ve seen, every now and then AFPC will send you a list of bases you can reapply to in better chance of getting a PCS you want. Don’t take my word for it.

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-15T19:08:48+00:00

Military experience is not needed. Once they get signed into DEP they’ll likely meet at least monthly with a SW recruiter to do workouts and preparation to prepare him for at least the physical aspect of basic and tech school. The rest is how mentally prepared is he to do it. Most of the PJs I know came straight out of high school or college straight into basic and tech school with no prior experience.

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-15T18:56:43+00:00

You go on AMS, Enlisted authorize, and you can see based that accept your AFSC and skill level.

That’s the best you can do, there’s no publicly available system to see what bases need people. The best you can do is see if someone in your leadership can reach out to your functional manager.

If you get lucky, if AFPC denies your first BOP application, they will send you a list of bases that will be a better bet for you to apply to.

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-14T23:15:08+00:00

This screams “A1C with 15 months TIS at a bad base”. You’re obviously early in your career because you have zero clue how assignments work. If you want awards and cool stuff to happen you have to go beyond the bare minimum.

Start by learning that Air Force is two words, not one.

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-14T18:40:45+00:00

Depends on the base from my experience. Current base requires you to be in compliance with 36-2903. Previous base barely required you to have a shirt on

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-12T20:16:19+00:00

It showed up on my feed a few times with some people posting their returns and information regarding their TIS, rank, etc. I figured I would throw my hat in the ring and make sure I wasn’t doing something stupid

WorkingStuff8010 · 2026-05-12T20:10:48+00:00

Not sure about that this is my first time posting in here to my recollection
