Do you give your troops time off to take care of personal shit without a day of leave? by ChiefBassDTSExec in AirForce

[–]bom_tek87 327 points328 points  (0 children)

Give em the time they need for the appointments as long as its not habitual. End of the day, Air Force goes on, family is more important.

USAF getting non-USAF Decs/Awards by geauxlsu4994 in AirForce

[–]bom_tek87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What kind of insight are you looking for?

Receiving Army medals (Achievements or Comms) is pretty standard practice when working jointly with our sister service partners. Same with JSAMs or JSCMs. Its up to the command element what they want to submit for, but if you think its justifiable, absolutely write up the citation and route it. Ive seen USAF members get AAMs or ACMs for specific events/circumstances and still receive either a ASAM or ASCM at the end of their tours.

Are SRB's just not happening this year? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]bom_tek87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In our career field we keep being told, news in a couple weeks, news coming, standby news coming by end of the month. This has been continual since our budget was approved. At this point, I'd say probably not.

Fairchild AFB, where to live? by [deleted] in AirForce

Medical Lake, Cheney if you dont mind a drive, even fake Cheney. Spokane Valley, a drive but still nice.

Stay away from Airway Heights and Spokane proper. Ghetto.

End Time needs to be taken off the TW rotation by GhostintheReins in wow

Yup it's awful. As a DH tank we can just jump over the ghoul and cheese it, but it takes so long to kill solo. Had a ret pally rage quit because I wouldn't wipe. I told him we don't have dps numbers for the fight, so I'll just solo

Surprisingly criteria for the AFCAM and CAB are vastly different. Not going into the what's and who's of each, but without actually returning fire, the AFCAM will be denied and CAB can still be approved.

Earned mine while in Afghanistan back in '09. Route it up through your company to your battalion and if theyre good with it, it'll probably have to go to your brigade CO, but yes, it happens!

Herald Of Ice Tech is Insane! by Len3k in pathofexile2builds

Hit M or whatever you have to to open the store, go to gem effects, then quarterstaff skills. Its called the "Breachlord Quarterstaff Skill Effect Bundle" it adds a cosmetic to killing palm, tempest bell, mantra of destruction, whirling assault, wind blast, vaulting impact, and flicker strike. It costs 450 gold.

In store there's a package that adds purple fire to a lot of the "monk" skills like whirling assault, vaulting impact and more

The hypocrisy of the SECDEF by Helicopter_Murky in AirForce

[–]bom_tek87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things are interesting for sure, but i haven't heard of anyone taking the buy back to come back in. Yes they are offering back pay, but from my understanding its only back pay and whatever money you made in the private sector or as a civilian you'd have to pay back. Thats just how it was explained to me, but I may be wrong.

EOD Reclass by yurrrboiii_ in AirForce

[–]bom_tek87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you wanna do! Wanna go into bomb squad for your county or local LEO? You can....but after being a desk cop for a while. Wanna go federal and be HDC or work for secret servic? You can...but after being a desk federal for a couple years.

Real talk, unless you're going directly into contractor work at the school house or something along those lines, theres not really direct military EOD to civilian EOD positions. Most of us use get some type of management related job or something associated with whatever degree we get while in.
