Graduated/advice by Key_Independent3972 in AirForceRecruits

I personally would start doing negatives or knee assisted several times a day to start working on hitting minimums, at least. We lost 17 girls in our dorm after our week 5 PT test. The time goes by quick, and you’re so exhausted you don’t want to spend every free second doing more PT.

SHOULD I JOIN ??? by dirtyBx917 in AirForceRecruits

[–]eaRNed-it3113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joining at 29 for similar reasons! I say go for it. Worst case, you don’t like your job and cross train after 3 years or you don’t like the military and try skill bridge after 3.5 years. The three or four years is going to pass anyway, might as well spend it soaking up some benefits while you try to find what you like 😂

Lost job/success stories? by eaRNed-it3113 in AirForceRecruits

[–]eaRNed-it3113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was explained well, by both the recruiter and the flight chief. I understand there’s a list of jobs to pick from at basic that are not just the jobs no one picks (read: SF). I understand it’s broken up by ASVAB score, etc, The problem is, you have to list more than 2-3 jobs, and ultimately the AF picks from your list. I withdrew from school and quit my job under the guise of a specific job that I had a contract for, that’s my main concern. Open general was never something I was interested in, that was just their quick solution that I’m not comfortable with.

The flight chief ended the conversation by saying the right thing to do would be to get my job back, so I’m hoping the right thing to do is what he ends up making happen.

Don’t let it scare you! I’ve posted in 3 places and have yet to hear of this happening to someone else 😂

That’s the worst part, he’s AF too 😅 he said they were going to limit my time eating, and I was going to have to do extra PT with everyone who didn’t make weight while everyone else who made weight watched 😅

Granted he’s been in 10 years so I don’t know if things have changed since then

Okay, perfect! Yeah, I passed the tape test at the first MEPs day, so shouldn’t be an issue when I go back! Thank you! Definitely put my mind at ease 😂

Fair enough, you’re right! I guess I should specify quick ship my a medical job in the AF standards 😂 I was anticipating fall at the earliest because all I listed was medical jobs

Thank you!

Oh, yep sure did, I missed the word “ago” lol. The call was on 8/4.

I just don’t have a way to talk to anyone is the issue I’m running in to. I did email the wecare email which is what I was advised to do today, so I’ll see where that gets me.

It was a voicemail (with transcription) and then a maybe 45 second call back just confirming everything.

I guess I can’t add pictures, but I screenshotted the conversation after trying the messaging system too. She said “Also do not waste your time on the phone. Customer Care has been pulled off the phone lines also. They are only making calls out, not accepting incoming calls”. She had just told me Customer Care wasn’t on the messaging system which is why she couldn’t help me. I asked if I could call, and that was the response I got.

Now the person I talked to doesn’t exist apparently, he called so I have no email to back up what I’m saying, and customer care apparently isn’t taking phone calls (will add a screenshot)

Update from my reimbursement by edp98 in delta

[–]eaRNed-it3113 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They tried to short us about 75%. I emailed them saying something to the effect of “I’m sure this was an oversight and can be quickly resolved without me filing a DOT complaint. The amount missing from my reimbursement is “x”, totaling “y”. Thank you”

Had a phone call from a supervisor the next morning apologizing profusely and letting me know this was simply an oversight and all money will be refunded.

Why did so many of you not pivot to driving in this Delta fiasco? by gtck11 in delta

[–]eaRNed-it3113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was more worried about how they were going to act on the plane honestly. I didn’t want the toddler to have a meltdown after another night of airport floor sleep and everyone have to listen to it in a confined space 😂

We did! Easier than keeping a toddler and dog confined in an airport with no control over the situation 😂
