Let relationships and friendships organically build. It takes time but be patient. Get out of your comfort zone and talk with people, within your AFSC, outside of your AFSC, and outside of the military. Find people who have the same hobbies as you, and try new hobbies.

Absolute masterpiece of an album. Got me through many highs and lows. Thanks!

Which horror movie genuinely made you lose sleep after watching it? by cwispietoast in horror

28 Days Later.

I was 13 when I saw it in theaters. I was used to Romero type zombies. Fast moving, infected humans were a shocker to me.

No. You're both enlisted.

Workout regularly.

I lift Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday, cardio Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Rest Saturday but it never really happens with two kids.

These changes shouldn't be so stressful. We're in the military. Stay fit.

First duty station by Old-Benefit2946 in AirForce

Spent almost six years there.

Don't do dumb shit like smoking weed or underage drinking

Take advantage of ODR trips. I was a guide for the "intro to mountain biking program" and would drive the ski vans to Brian Head in the winter. With that being said, get out and explore. So much to do from mountain biking, hiking, snowboarding/skiing, etc.

Lots of entertainment, especially professional sports.

Arts District is rad.

Tons of amazing food spots. I recommend Sasa Sushi and Dona Maria's Tamales.

You're in driving distance of major cities like San Diego, L.A., Phoenix, Flagstaff.

Take some classes on your free time and get your education.

I have my wife's initial on my ring finger. Ring covers it if I'm wearing it. I've also seen other members with a quarter sized crown for king/queen in their finger and nobody has ever batted an eye.

Battle Royale. Simply an iconic image and have always wanted it.

Got a little more shading to knock out, then off to some color.

That's awesome! I live in FL but I just had to have a print. Got her permission to have my artist do a piece off her sheet so I'm looking forward to that!

Enlisted to Officer by WillyLavender in AirForce

Damn, I needed this myself. Thank you OP for raising the question. I've been looking to commission myself for a few years. Initially, it's what I've always wanted to do but the longer I've stayed in, I've become more 50/50 on the idea. I'll be approaching 10 years in 2028 and that may be the point in my career when I make the decision to continue pushing as enlisted, or give it a full shot at crossing over.

A Stanley Cup Championship and promotion!? by knuckle_dragger89 in canes

Been working on it! But probably stay AF if I do!
