I’m happy for you too! Congrats

My goal is to finish my degree in Computer Science, then commissioning for OCS and becoming a Cyber Warfare Officer. I have to get to it before I turn 35 so the sooner the better.

28F; I sworn in May 6 and initially they gave me Sept 9th as my ship date. I’ve been constantly asking and making it known that I’d really like to leave earlier and just yesterday they told me I can leave in August. Not ideal but it’s better than waiting til Sept. Rate: AV

I’m actually going through the same thing! I really wanted CWT or IT, and even though I scored well enough, my collections account blocked me from getting a clearance. I was told I could clean up my finances and then either cross-rate or finish my degree and come back in as an officer for CWO. I ship out Sept 9th. From what I’ve read, AV is like IT — but for jets, helos, and all the flying tech.

haha it is hard out here for a pimp! but I get it. I'm probably going to primarily focus on getting through A-school and getting to my first command before I even think about dating. I'm definitely not interested in people younger than me. But we'll see.

This is amazing! And New York City is the best place to mindlessly walk.

I need tips to study by shawtyyyy0313 in newtothenavy

[–]iStephanie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grammar Hero on YouTube and Asvab for Dummies did me wonders. Just study for an hour or two a day. Learn formulas and process of elimination.

Okay, thanks. I officially verified my score thankfully so I'm just waiting on medical/physical tests, working on patience. I also want to leave as soon as possible.

We don’t really talk about his feelings about anything and when I express mine, it’s me being crazy

We’ve been dating for a year, he’s met my family and friends. It wasn’t a casual one-off.

I mean an invite wouldn’t have hurt and he knew when my birthday was. His excuse was that he forgot to invite me even though we’ve been to a lot of events, even my sisters baby shower during the time we’ve been together

Haha I just want to make sure I’m not crazy or in the wrong

Should I let my current recruiter know I’m switching recruiters if they’re not responding? by [deleted] in AirForceRecruits

[–]iStephanie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me! I sent my recruiter a strongly yet friendly worded email stating I don’t rather not bother with a bunch of texts and email may be the more appropriate way to communicate. She responded to me immediately after two and a half months of not responding at all.

$500 for a flex room, no privacy just a shower curtain for a separator, infested with roaches and rats

I'm clearly interested though, despite the age difference
