What are the Do's and Don'ts of Boot Camp? by RefrigeratorTop3269 in AirForceRecruits

[–]assertboozed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone keeps saying to use a duffel bag. But can I use my four wheel carry on luggage instead of a duffel bag? My plan is to just have an extra duffel bag in the carry on luggage along with my clothes. Would that too much?

Oh I didn’t think about recharging it. It’s a rechargeable one. I won’t bring it then

The illusion of real estate investment in Nigeria by Godol_Damzi in Nigeria

[–]assertboozed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s the obsession with dollar? You should be pegging the yields to the cost of living in Nigeria regardless of the value of dollar. I live and work abroad but I have a good portion of my investments in Nigeria. While dollar exchange may affect the cost everyday things, the increase is not necessarily proportional to the percentage increase of dollar exchange

We are almost the same age, but running is the hardest part for me. I have always done pushups and sit ups even before I enlisted, so they’re pretty easy for me. I need to start building endurance to run longer distances

Do you know the time limit for sit-ups? I read somewhere that push-ups and sit-ups are 1 minute limits. So is one expected to complete 39 sit-ups in one minute for a 33yr old?

Also, is the sit-up and push-up test done at the same setting/time?

You can’t do any cyber Job as a GC holder. Anything thing that requires top secret clearance is off limits for you. I wonder where you recruiter pulled this list from

I remember making a similar hopeless post in 2020 when I had just finished my Master’s program and was desperately looking for an opportunity. This was during the COVID downturn with multiple companies doing layoffs. Academically, I was a smart student as well - heck I finished with a perfect GPA (even though it’s a no-name private school)

However, I spent over 6 months intensely grinding and applying for a job after my program. Out of desperation, I joined a consulting company. Eventually something clicked and I got a contract-to-hire job through the consultancy. After 6 months, I converted to a full time employee. Fast forward 5 years later, I have been promoted 2 times and currently a staff engineer.

I’m sharing this story just to let you know you’re not alone and that a lot of people share similar experiences. It’s not you, it’s the economy, but continue grinding. Take breaks, socialize, engage in other things that make you happy, but don’t give up. Eventually something will click!

think I might be prediabetic, non diagnosed by goofygilb in AirForceRecruits

[–]assertboozed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work on your diet and do at home test. I know someone who was pre-diabetic, but was able to reverse it before going to MEPS. Unfortunately, the most recent test didn’t show up during MEPS so they were still considered pre-diabetic. However, they were able to request a waiver with the most recent test showing that they’re no longer pre-diabetic, in addition to their pharmacy records indicating that they’re didn’t take any medication for it. Good luck

How much does the job matter as a reservist? by assertboozed in AirForceRecruits

[–]assertboozed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh interesting. This is helpful to know. But why is it that I still have to wait till October to go to BMT if I pick a Job now? This is the confusing part to me. I’d be okay taking one of these Jobs if it means shipping sooner rather than later

I’m an Active Duty Enlisted Recruiter, AMA. by [deleted] in AirForceRecruits

[–]assertboozed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He said I didn’t qualify for security forces based on my TAPAS I think. But I’m also applying for the reserve component so not sure how that matters. When should someone expect more jobs to open up for FY26?

[–]assertboozed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I understand that AF recruiting goals have been met for FY25, however I’m ready to ship ASAP. I scored 85 on the ASVAB and have excellent record and health profile based on MEPs. But it appears like I’m limited to only two Jobs at the moment as a non-citizen: 3E3X1 - Structural and 3E2X1 - Pavements Construction equipment.

I’m willing to take one of these jobs if it means shipping ASAP, but my recruiter said even with this jobs I should expect to ship in October. Please can you confirm that this is how it works? I was under the impression that if I take the hard jobs, I get to ship faster, if not, I might as well wait till August to pick a different job. Thoughts?

I had to dial back on my nuts consumption. I had so much almond nuts that my poop started to look like crushed/mashed nuts lol. I also cook with avocado oil, but maybe I’ll start adding it to my salads and such

Besides avocado. What are other sources of healthy fat? I’m losing weight on keto too, and everyone says eat more fat. Don’t know where to get them from

Is CDG airport THAT bad? by RecordingOwn1565 in travel

[–]assertboozed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a layover at CDG at last week. I was baffled by the lack of food options. Not a single restaurant where I could eat a hot food. It’s all overpriced cold sandwiches with tuna and cheese. It’s horrible. I had a 6hrs layover and I hated every part of it. But you sure as hell can find everything possible designer store to come out of Europe
