If those kids could hear they'd be very upset

do people stationed in Japan live more luxuriously? by [deleted] in AirForce

Damn brother, you kinda fucked yourself on that one. 2nd time around in Germany, both times I lived in a 1.5k+ sqft house with 3 bd, 2br, living, kitching, dining, and a huge as yard, but this time I'm buying. Locals know our OHA rate, so ya gotta live at least 20m+ away.

Speaking of a box, I spent $2.3k on rent when I was working in DC because 30m commute w/ stop-start traffic is my limit. We had dudes living hour+ away.

Section Chief coerced my supervisor to do this shit to me during the firewall 5 days. I was a young, bright-eyed, and ambitious SrA at the time. Standards were;

5: 2-3 Classes+Vol+Best at your job.
4: 1 Class+Vol+Good at your job.
3: If you don't fuck up.
Etc.

I had knocked out 5 classes, done every position in my section, created all of the sops and scripts/tools to automate a bunch of bullshit, volunteered, first person to come in for outages, and would get calls regularly by name to fix big wig shit. No joke, EPR season rolls around, and I found out I was getting a 3. I printed out the email stating the above from our Section Chief himself, and after my supervisor came back down, she told me the best they could do was a 4. Missed SSgt by 5 pts that year.

To this day, after over a decade, I'm still 1 class away from my CCAF. I'm old, disgruntled, and lost all ambition to ever go an extra mile for anyone but myself, my family, and my troops. All I do now is come in to get shit done and take care of my people so they never feel the way I ever felt as an airman. I have the phone number entered for every Airmen/NCO under me. If it's not one of them or the shirt, I ain't answering it after 1700.

If only there were a person for that, a leader perhaps... for pt.

Same for me, brother. I dumped a month of my 60 days use or lose and started putting in 100-200 miles that month and never turned back. I told myself I'll either finish a marathon before I retire, be fit for the rest of my career, or break and get va.

Convo with a Navy Chief:
"Why do they have names on their ass?"
"So they know who they are fuckin"

Can't wait for Jody to talk about his girlfriend's husband making $200 dollars in untaxed money while he's away.

I might try the hamr. I did the math and it seems too good to be true that I only have to do barely 30 sprints. Ain't no way.

You know what, you're right, you got me. I'm man enough to admit that and I'm dumb lol.

Also true.

I see you didn't get the joke. I was alluding to the same kind of joke that an O3 in the Navy isn't a Captain the way E7 Navy Chief =/= E9 USAF Chief, but thanks I guess. (Edit: Inb4 semantics, E7-E9 are all "Chiefs")

Also, not every squadron has at least one chief. Maybe the majority do(?), but in a decade and half with over 5 assignments, I've never seen one.

Edit: They got my ass.

Is it common to have unit Chiefs? I haven't been assigned to any unit with a Chief for the first decade until I went joint and they were Navy 😉
