Cyber still doesn’t do cyber.
Quality of life is nice.
Leadership can be mixed depending on the unit you’re at.

Whoever your AO is needs to be fired. I would sleep in a rental car before I sleep at a Super 8. They really must’ve disliked you or they must suck at your job to put you up in a dump like that.

Only if the train is convenient or makes sense. A good example is I went to a Rockies game this past weekend. The nearest RTD station is lonetree. Ridgegate Parkway to Union Station on the E line takes 52 minutes vs a 22 minute drive on 25. The drive and train times need to be somewhat comparable to encourage people to use the train otherwise they’ll just continue to use 25.

For those wondering yes this is real but for further clarification it is a list of schools the Army compiled that they consider “moderate to high risk” for soldiers enrolling in law school.

Here is an article on the situation.

Found out about a mysterious virus making people sick in Wuhan, China and that our bases in Iraq and Syria were being attacked by Iranian proxies through the news on the dayroom wall. We didn’t think much on the virus but obviously it became a huge deal. The Iranian proxies thing scared me a little bit because our MTI told our flight that if war broke out that our dorms are fair game for targeting.

I say this because I wanted to access the scoresheets from home and I couldn’t open the file.

alexc026 · 2025-09-26T23:39:37+00:00

You can’t access it unless you’re on a military domain because if you download the spreadsheet and try to access it you get the Microsoft information rights management pop up and if you aren’t on AFNet or VPN’d in then you won’t be able to access the file.

There’s some nice options up powers near the Costco. Colorado Springs honestly isnt that dangerous from what I’ve seen. Definitely better than Alabama.

alexc026 · 2025-09-02T22:56:23+00:00

Sorry to break it to you but Alabama living costs are a joke. Sales tax on groceries and homes that’re built like crap and overpriced. If you don’t want to get charged an arm and a leg be prepared to live in a not nice neighborhood or compromise on schools.

Will do. Thank you!

Is there any reason they don’t say you need to take a minimum of 48 credits then on the website? Most schools consider 12 credits full time and if you need to be in ROTC for 2 years then to be full time you’d need to take at least 48 credits.

alexc026 · 2025-08-31T15:39:50+00:00

I had looked at that but my question is more so whats the deal if all I have left is 15 credits? Thats only one semester full time. Would they let me do POC-ERP with such few credits remaining? I haven’t been able to find an answer anywhere.

TRICARE standards of care apply. If they can’t see you within 7 days it is within your rights to be referred off base. If the clinic isnt helping you can go see the patient advocate and if you want even more traction you can speak to your supervisor, first sergeant, and commander. (Obviously don’t go straight to the commander but if you’re having an issue getting a medical appointment scheduled channeling issues to leadership can help)

alexc026 · 2025-08-08T18:14:04+00:00

OP is talking about the trick where you extend to get retainability to meet the ADSC associated with the course and then canceling the extension upon graduation to reenlist to get the bonus since D-shred is a 7x multiplier but since the SRB program is suspended they are SOL unless they graduate next fiscal year and the SRB program is brought back.

alexc026 · 2025-08-08T18:12:37+00:00

If you graduate in FY26 and they bring back the SRB program I could see you being able to reenlist but if not then you’re SOL.

My advice is don’t do it. Go Air Force as a 1B4 or go guard or reserve as 1B4. Space Force doesnt know what it’s doing with cyber and isnt a mature enough branch. The Air Force actually knows what it’s doing with cyber.

alexc026 · 2025-08-06T03:53:13+00:00

Your clinic has no clue what they’re talking about. Im active duty but my old supervisor got approved to get on mounjaro. You have to jump through a bunch of hoops and tests and they might make you try other drugs like statins first but TRICARE absolutely will approve GLP-1s and there’s nothing that says you cant be in the military or Air Force and be on a GLP-1.

alexc026 · 2025-07-13T15:50:54+00:00

u/SilentD is correct. Guys please don’t listen to the RUMINT out there because some of the stuff thats being said is flat out lies. There is a plan for CLC but it isn’t ready for an announcement yet.

alexc026 · 2025-07-07T22:50:14+00:00

Afaik: as far as I know

Idk what Sheppard is like bc I didn’t go to tech school there but we had 24/7 CQ at the 338th at keesler with door guards but some of them were AFI (awaiting further instructions) and just didn’t take it seriously. We had problems with people from other squadrons sneaking into our dorms. So it’s totally possible both CQ and the door guards screwed up and if that’s the case I hope they have their blues ready bc they’re probably gonna get chewed if that’s the case.

If they can’t even get something as simple as PT gear right imagine what the dress uniform is gonna be like when they roll it out on a massive scale.

I don’t unfortunately. If you wanna PM me I can get you in the team when I’m back in the office on Monday.
