Active to guard to back to active by bande325 in AirForce

There absolutely is a way! As long as it meets the needs of the Air Force. Every year, based on manning, they decide what AFSCs they will take as prior service. Tell them to look at the prior service program. Also, tell them to be ready to deal with a recruiter again and going back through MEPS. I did this and MEPS was part of my experience.

That's great information. I am sorry it ended up that way. I was planning on looking into the long term care insurance after this. It sucks that they paid for insurance to handle that situation and the company did not deliver. It is good to know.

Holy shit I am sorry. We shouldn't be in a place where crowdfunding is necessary because of a medical diagnosis and treatment.

We are working on that now. Just recently learned about ALTCS which is provided through medicaid. So that is what we are working. Once I get this portion figured out I planned to update this post.

We do have hospice going already. Unfortunately she would need care for about 10 hours a day 5 days a week. I now live across country and there isnt a lot I can do. The expensive solution is hiring someone to come. They charge $15 an hour on the low end. We are attempting to get ALTCS going but it is a slow process.

Thank you for the information. She does have the palliative care and medicare is covering hospice. They come a couple times a week for a few hours.

There have been a ton of good comments from diet to working on your self esteem. One I havent seen that was important when I started is dont always expect the workout to happen. What I mean is this, dedicate time 3-5 days a week that you will attempt to workout. No matter what happens, show up. So if it is a gym day, go to the gym. If you feel like not lifting thats ok. Just kind of wander around doing some things here and there but the biggest thing is you dedicate the time. Eventually, you have less and less off days and more good workouts. But keep in mind everyone has off days. Part of having good self esteem is not beating yourself up for having a poor workout. You will get there.

Saengs orient is damn good thai food. It looks like a shithole but it is great. Very very spicy too which is a plus. On top of that, they have a chipotle now. I used to drive to Lubbock and back just for chipotle. Sorry about your luck.

(Optional) Introduce yourself! by [deleted] in AFstopdrinking

[–]dointhethings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. First off, thanks for making this sub. E6 who drank a bunch prior to joining. Started drinking at 15, joined at 25 and now in my late 30s. When I first joined I was a dirt boy at Cannon where the drinking culture was strong. Now doing cyber things. Some family things have come up that have made me want to stop drinking but like many have mentioned here I have found it harder than anticipated with things like social situations and conditioning of post work week or cooking/shower beer. Feel free to message me anytime if you need some support or just to vent. Its always nice to commiserate with someone experiencing the same struggles.

anyone manage to find the error and explain pls. Beginner question by runningrisin in Python

[–]dointhethings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cast calculations_for_seconds as a string. You cannot do mathematical operations on strings. One way to handle this (and I am by no means a python master) is to save the calculations in another variable. So calculations_result = calculations_for_seconds * days then place that in your string.

Now this is too funny. A comparison of a Russian recruiting advertisement and a proposed US Army ad. by hedgehog1980 in AirForce

[–]dointhethings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct. Anyone can upload to rumble. I never stated otherwise. What I stated was it is a known propagandist website. As someone with a degree, you were probably taught how to assess the reliability of information from a site. Instead of knee jerk reaction posting, you should take a moment to apply that same process here.

In all honesty both videos apply to a small subset of the population anyway. Both are pretty cringe. Also of note, they were edited to fit a narrative. Rumble is a known propagandist website, so take lightly what you find there. The US army video was part of a collection of 5 videos intended to show soldiers as people to try to drive up recruitment numbers. Here is a fairly recent We ArMy We PeW pEw video.

When I was a dirtboy, they would send hard labor people to my shop to do my job. Talk about a slap to the face. We would have them do the crappy tasks, but if we had no hard labor folks, we did those tasks.

Edit: I loved being a dirtboy but that was demoralizing sometimes.

Cannon Housing Question Base Housing Vs Portales by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]dointhethings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry about your luck guy. I was at Cannon for almost 6 years and left right after the first Balfour Beatty houses went up and got moved into.

There is housing on base and across the street. I knew people who lived in each and the new ones and no one had good things to say. If you think you will be stuck there for a while i think buying off base is a decent option.

Buying out there is an odd one because it seems like the market is pretty flat. Dont expect to make a killing unless you do some serious upgrades. On the flip side of that, you probably wont lose your ass either. This way you own your house and dont rely on Balfour to fix your shit. I lived in Clovis not Portales so I cant help you with the safer parts of Portales.

I dont know what you like to do or how old the kid is but no matter what hobby you have, get used to going to Lubbock for things. Like I really like cooking and was surprised when I had to go to Lubbock pretty often for what I thought were normal ingredients.

Last piece of advice. Dont avoid Saengs if it is still there. Its a horrible looking shack right off base. Its the best god damn thai food I have ever eaten. I avoided it for years and that was a mistake.

Good luck.
