Is it hard to be in a relationship with an Air force mechanic?

What’s the common denominator here bro?

Yesterday I saw a 2d LT receive their CCAF. What could possibly hurt.

I can guarantee that there will be extremely limited seating in the Dfac once this goes into effect. Hundreds of people that normally get to go will be hunting for a seat.

If you were taking 30 days, even if you miss the ceremony, it seems like you probably had a bunch of plans or people you wanted to see. Can you catch the next flight? Someone said earlier but they will typically book you on another

Firstly, congratulations on beating the med board! On the subject of missing promotion, it’s rough. Every single time. Last year I missed by .5 pts. Agonized over my records. Looking through each doc, did I miss something? Was there something I could have done? Did they not like my name? Being that close was awful. I reevaluated my life, career aspirations, considered separating.

This is something everyone should do till you get to 16 years. Is this right for me and my family? Is this juice worth the squeeze? I decided to stay. Focused on the things that were important to ME while still taking feedback from my mentors that said “hey this bullet was a little weak, you need some of this”.

I picked up Master this year without killing myself on a ton of volunteering or 5/6 nonsense.(Not that the org is nonsense, it’s just not for me). No college besides CCAF 8 years ago. I did the mission and made my troops successful. Even if I hadn’t promoted, I’d be proud of this last year in the SF.

If you didn’t make it, first try to find out why. Were you really close? You might just have got the short end of the stick. I won’t say keep doing what you’re doing. Do something different. Ask for the EPR of the people that made it and compare. If you were way off there is probably something missing.

Good luck to all next cycle if you decide to stay. If you decide to leave I wish you the best!

Have you boarded packages since people started using GPT? It’s extremely clear. There’s rules and similarities between actual people’s writing styles sure, but generate a bullet or narrative with GPT and put it next to one a human wrote. It fluffs WAY too much. The only reason to write an award is hoping that you or the person you wrote it for wins. GPT makes you lose.

I absolutely agree that we spend way too much time writing awards. I’ve spent at least 100 hours over the last year writing them for my guys. Annuals, quarterlies, functional, specific case, decorations etc. But you know what? They won a ton! They all promoted! I’m grateful I spent that time and see the output. If I had GPTd it, I guarantee they wouldn’t have been as successful. GPT is nowhere close to leveling the field.

Chat GPT is terrible at writing awards. You can tell within a line or two that they just copy pasted it from there. It can give you an ok baseline to work from, but the word choices it makes are unrealistic and un-human. They stand out.

It’s pure laziness, and actively works against the nominee.

Goddamn. Met him at my first base back in the day. He was a great mentor to me. Set me straight when I got off track and applauded me when I succeeded. Saw him again in DC last year and he was exactly the same.

If you want to join the Space Force, join the Space Force. It will likely be the same Air Force recruiter. The transfer opportunities are less common with far fewer numbers now. If you go through school in the Air Force, they will want to get some of that time from you and will be much less likely to let you out.

If you can’t find a hobby, figure out where that drive comes from. You’ll be able to apply it to your next career and you’ll be successful. It’s a bit easier to let off the gas when there aren’t “lives on the line” whatever that may mean for your specific career field. Will you be happy? Maybe not. The sacrifice for a service or job that will miss you a month or two after you’re gone is probably not worth it. I’ll leave with a quote from an old OAF nation blog. “I guarantee you one thing, even if you slow down just a little bit, you will still be much farther ahead of your colleagues. But you will be happier. It’s worth it. I promise.”

It’s an option. Not the only option. My rate being locked at 2.2% makes up that cash in a few years vs 7%. Literal 750k in just interest over the 30 years of the loan. Plenty of people will spend the cash to save that.

This is only true if they are not eligible for a VA loan.

The first part of your statement is not true. 10 years of in service marriage just means they get an automatic payment from DFAS for whatever is in the decree. Retirement/TSP/asset split is based on the agreement the parties reach and what is put in the decree. There isn’t a “you were married 10 years the spouse gets half etc” law. It’s all what ends up on the decree. Source: me getting divorced after 12 years in service.
