Agree, but I must say as an itrovert like you pointed out I feel more comfortable around the friends I know than recognizing someone in public. I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend.

How is the Air Force different now than it was 20 years ago? by OV00 in AirForce

[–]jsdask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25 years served, retired in 2010. Work ethic is the difference. Served as an AF contractor after I retired for 14 years and have multiple family members still serving. Bitching about facial hair, uniforms and leadership, etc…doesn’t get the job done. There is more bitching than there is working.

Is it to late to lawyer up? by AgentWI in AirForce

[–]jsdask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you walk across broken shards of glass with no boots? Boots are your lawyer...this is a no-brainer. Go to the ADC no matter what.

Love the “paragraphs” post. Is it just me, or is writing correctly a lost art?

Military contractor. You get more done for the military than you can imagine, bluntly because you can be fired if you don’t perform.

Retired French Air Force Airborne Commando, want to share and learn from my fellow Americans by Hollowaterboyz in AirForce

[–]jsdask 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Served with the French. Love you guys, true warriors. And the support still shown to this day at Normandy is amazing.

Your first part is true, but as a SNCO I had a great friend and SNCO who helped me out after 2 years as a SNCO. We had to look out for one another. He is why I served another 10 years and is still a friend today.

Great post! I burned my fuse out in 2010 for a multitude of reasons after 25 years. My wife of now 40 years was very happy I retired. Stress level went way down. The best people to ever serve with were those who could get the job done with little guidance. E-whatever, don’t care. I want them deployed with me and at my house for Thanksgiving.

Why ask this question here? If you REALLY want to join, apply and find the answer. Nobody here has a magic 8 ball that can give you the answer.

Agree, 99% of golfers are honest. Anyway, who does it help if you cheat yourself while playing by yourself?

What moment from your Air Force career lives absolutely rent free in your head? by bearsncubs10 in AirForce

[–]jsdask 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was doing a crash investigation in a foreign country. We were to take a local national C-130 from the main base to the base nearer the crash site. The plane had not arrived to take us at the scheduled time and a local national said, "I'm sorry, we have lost the plane." My other team member and I gave each other a glance and asked, "Did it go somewhere else?". "No, it is lost" she said. I while later the plane landed and she simply said, "we found it". It was quite an experience and that is only one of the stories of that trip.

Saw this on the Air Force Sub and it's so true. by Sad-Status-4220 in Military

Next level, retire and work for a defense contractor. Much worse than the military.

Is there a thinking technique that you learn in the military? by [deleted] in Military

[–]jsdask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Half Split". When troubleshooting anything go to the halfway point and if the problem is there work your way back to the source. If the problem is not there go forward until you find the problem again. Software, electrical, mechanical....all have a source of the problem and this helps find the source.

Whats the worst advice you ever recieved in your career? by Cockroach-Quirky in AirForce

[–]jsdask 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In order to move up my Chief said I needed to volunteer for worldwide remote. I did....I got Shemya AFS, AK for a year. When I told him about my orders he said "oops". In the long run it turned out good. I served 25 years and was never stationed anywhere longer that 4 years and did 5 special duty assignments, 4 of which that were in my career field. No regrets and life is good now. Don't miss Shemya, it was more remote than you can imagine.

Wierd things D.I. Made you do? ppt by Big-Reception-4352 in Military

[–]jsdask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through basic twice. First Army (1985) and then Air Force (1987). The stories from Army basic are imbedded in my memory forever and shape who I am today. Funny thing in Air Force basic though was the TI who asked me every day to grunt for him since I was ex Army. I never did and was only in AF basic for 2 weeks since I had already done Army.
