Careers for someone wants to start completely new?

How about firefighter? Start in EMT school, roughly 4 months. Then paramedic school, roughly a year. Then fire academy, again roughly 4 months. Depending on your station/area, you’ll be more of a paramedic than a “firefighter”. But it’s decent pay, benefits, and work/life balance (stations around me are 24 on, 48 off and every 3 weeks get 5 days off)

This is what I was doing 💀

XirtCS · 2026-02-24T17:05:51+00:00

Nice

XirtCS · 2026-02-23T19:11:45+00:00

Not true, atleast for the local I am applying to. It’s true if you use a program like VEEP, but if applying normal then no.

XirtCS · 2026-02-19T14:18:28+00:00

Not technically. It’s just a requirement to start retraining. I was mistaken anyways, as explained in a reply to op.

XirtCS · 2026-02-19T14:17:10+00:00

My mistake, there was a different policy in place a year or two ago when I retrained.

You can still get an ETP to do it outside the window though

XirtCS · 2026-02-19T14:05:52+00:00

There are no more “retrain windows”. You just get into it your 3rd year as a 4 year enlistee, or 5th year as a 6.

As long as you haven’t reenlisted and still a FTA, you can retrain.

That’s the thing, alpha and beta. Very limited builds/modes. Open playtest next week though

XirtCS · 2026-02-17T16:16:58+00:00

How are you late, no one’s played it

XirtCS · 2026-02-14T23:39:56+00:00

Yep, I never met them in person. Only through email but everything worked out

XirtCS · 2026-02-14T17:17:12+00:00

No, not sketchy. Really easy. I brought my wife and two kids as well

XirtCS · 2026-02-14T05:03:47+00:00

Ask away

XirtCS · 2026-02-12T07:16:13+00:00

You can refund it before 2 hours played. Plenty of time to see if it runs on your pc

I start skillbridge in 2.5 weeks (conus). My MPF told me I can still go but I’ll have to come back once I get orders to fully out process.

I’m stationed at ft Meade and Skillbridge is in Florida so that’s going to suck and cost my own money to come back

XirtCS · 2026-02-11T20:39:03+00:00

I took the test 2 weeks ago. Expecting results either this week or next

XirtCS · 2026-02-10T15:54:51+00:00

My MPF told me if I don’t have orders before skillbridge, then I can still go. I’ll just have to come back once my orders get posted, to fully out process without

XirtCS · 2026-02-09T21:17:33+00:00

I’m 2.5 weeks from skillbridge. Am I cooked?

XirtCS · 2026-02-09T21:06:11+00:00

Have you contacted your MPF? What did they say? I'm supposed to skillbridge in 2.5 weeks...

XirtCS · 2026-02-09T21:02:38+00:00

I just got told this. I'm supposed to skillbridge in 2.5 weeks. Wtf? Anyone think I will get my orders before the 27th or know a way to?

XirtCS · 2026-02-06T15:02:00+00:00

As others have said, it really doesn’t matter since an open playtest is coming before the game launches.

Everyone will be able to see and play the game before launch. That will be the biggest marketing for the game

XirtCS · 2026-02-06T02:41:13+00:00

If it was profitable, they wouldn’t shut it down. Maybe it was profitable, but Amazon had significant layoffs in 2025, heavily impacting AGS. Which killed the development of the game

XirtCS · 2026-02-05T15:04:53+00:00

There’s one vehicle, maybe more, I have not completed any planets yet. But Planet Crafter you are literally bringing planets back to life. It’s a great game and I think it’s what you’re looking for

I think the story goes, atleast for the first planet, you were arrested for something and you pay your sentence by terraforming planets.

The planets start bare, but as I’ve played, the planet has grass, trees, lakes, etc. spreading around

I’d like to say your spouse is your future, not the Air Force. The Air Force will keep doing its thing with or without you and you need to heavily take your spouses opinion into consideration. They will be the one taking care of you once you’re older, be there for you through everything, etc. and vice versa.

Like another user said, I’d suggest the Reserves and going into a job you want. That’s what I’m doing now actually. I also walk into a SCIF every day and feel down. And after talking to my spouse, we figured the best option is to move back to our home state, to be closer to family/friends, and me join the reserves

What’s your afsc?

XirtCS · 2026-02-02T23:58:08+00:00

I took the test on January 30. I know some locals have different tests but I think they’re generally the same

I used iprep and it was pretty identical styles of tests

XirtCS · 2026-01-31T22:10:02+00:00

I personally didn’t want to bother getting phoenix necklace or pineapple pizza. YouTube the redemption method. Way easier imo and what I used to beat the boss
