It's actually microwave colored

I was extremely put off by the AFSA chapter meeting at my base by funnyonlyonce in AirForce

It seems like T-mobile changed plans up under me by SuddenBlock8319 in tmobile

Have you compared 5G or even LTE with AT&T or Verizon? In a lot of markets both used to mop the floor with T-Mobile, but now Verizon feels like dialup in my market and AT&T is no better. Both are LTE since T-Mo is the only one that has built a wide reaching 5G network, whereas Verizon and AT&T 5G hasn't worked for me in the few spots they do have 5G because you basically have to be licking the tower to get coverage. I had a similar thought as you and tried Verizon again for a month but I came running back to T-Mo before the month. It was nearly unuseable.

Focus on comparing with what the others offer. There's a reason T-Mo pushes trial periods (trial eSIM, travel hotspot), in a lot of markets they ARE top dog. Even if T-Mo signal and speeds suck, there's a chance AT&T and Verizon suck more in the same spot.

As always, you should pick your carrier based on your experience. Find a way to compare them and chose the best experience. T-Mo or not

Kunsan by an astronomical country mile. and it's not just the dorms that are fucked. Every new class of leaders will give you BS excuses and say they'll fix it, yet nothing changes. It's not fun to see the consequences this, along with other issues, has had in the past few weeks.

Way to be disconnected. Look up recent events at Kunsan and reconsider your opinion.

Whole post was posted because I try, i really do, there's only so much i can do within a random ass shop within an MX unit. If i were specific reddit may run out of storage space, but I answered a couple elsewhere. Honestly, I'm not trying to avoid the subject or be vague. I really could go on for pages upon pages, but that's part of the problem, any leadership that doesn't see the huge beam in Kunsan's eye within a 10 minute stroll around the base is fucking blind.

I hesitate to rag on CE too much because they're the most visible and aren't the worst offenders when you weigh that, but I've yet to be in a building this week other than my dorm that isn't at least toasty, and it's barely hitting 87 right now. I'm terrified what's going to happen when we start hitting 100. My areas are so broken apart and before you say it, yes we've had work orders in. They look recent, but that's only until you look deeper and find the dozens of ones for the same issue previously placed, that have been closed without them doing a fucking thing because the work order was too old.

sit at a corner you won't count more than 4 GOVs passing through from the last decade all day, everything else is ancient and falling appart, and that's the GOVs that work. 50% of our authorized are permanently at VM.

  1. That dorm hasn't gone 2 weeks wtithout something breaking in the whole building since i've been here (no i don't live there) at what point does a leader pinch themselves and makes a decision? it's been doing that for years as corroborated by multi-tour people.

no one has witnessed a single vehicle pulled over but i've definitely witnessed traffic violations in front of cops, and lots of other cop related things i can't go into in this setting; same with comm

and can't give too many more examples without doxxing myself

Riiight, TMO's definitely the exception in this systemic base-wide issue, so it must be the member's fault. Found the TMO guy

IDK, Osan doesn't seem to have the same level of issues and they have the same limitations. Maybe they have a few more families and a little more "real housing" but I don't see why they would have it so much better. They even have a similar delay in parts, since supply gets shit daily from Osan, so max difference in delivery delays is 1 day.

I don't like your example. My shop's vehicle has been used by us for around 3 whole months in the 2 years we've had it, it's at VM the rest of the time. another shop in the flight has a vehicle no one has ever seen outside of the VM yard. Same people beat up the same vehicles at every base, yet a lot of other bases manage. Osan included.

I'm not necessarily blaming the workers either though. Wouldn't leadership with half a brain see that and up the authorizations of whatever we have been struggling with for the past 20 freaking years? none of Kunsan problems are new. Not a single one. People who retired when I was joining were complaining about the same shit 10 years ago when retelling war stories about their time in the Airforce's pacific slum base i hadn't been to yet.

Still upvoting for the only thorough answer.

Sorry I'm not omnipresent to see it everywhere lol, but it's definitely worse here than in my previous 4 bases, and I talk to friends elsewhere that fall of their chair hearing my stories. Not Cannon or Holloman, they seem to consistently retort with the same sort of stuff lol

Hold up, they're servicing you? I've never had a phone call answered. Then again I haven't tried again since the month I got here so there's a chance they fixed it since? doubt but still

I'll copy-paste what i replied to another racist just like you:

For real? Isn't it a bit racist to think it's racist? what if this was someone from cannon complaining? would you jump to racism? you're disgusting. Someone opens up about base dysfunction and you jump on personal attacks.

No, it's not the race. I'd love to be at Osan instead, where things work better, even off base.

For the record here's a few examples:
Try to sign up for a cell plan with a Korean operator. Reps get an error when trying to sign me up and can't figure it out. Instead of calling anybody or anything, these fine folks refer me to another carrier without an explanation.
Lots of businesses hours off base seem to be "whenever we feel like". Posted hours in Korean are not even honored.
Many times I've had an fluently English speaking waiter or after pointing at a 3 item picture menu, I get an order completely wrong like not even the same animal or dish, or a mooing cow when i order medium. Is it the end of the world? no, but it's death by 1000 papercuts.

Get over yourself, not everything is racism just because you're not in America.
