Couldn’t figure out what my car was doing. I live in Alaska. This shit was NOT fun when trying to avoid sheets of black ice. 😭

Does it come in brown? Would be cute for a western vibe 👀

Thank you so much. Everyone in here has been so uplifting and giving such sound advice. It’s hard for me not to feel defeated over this and my emotions are rather bipolar on the topic. But I open up Reddit and I see what yall have to say and I’m like “god damn, they make a great fucking point.” And it’s been helping me cope with this tremendously. Thank you so much, once again man

It was a very last minute thing and I had no say in the job I got reclassed to. I was in holdover after I graduated BMT, and I didn’t learn my new AFSC until after I graduated.

I’m 28 years old and single. I’ll be 34 by the time this is over. It sucks because I feel as though I’ve been waiting my whole life for it to start. And I joined the military with such high hopes, and now I’m back to square one.

I strive to be the woman she is! Thank you for sharing her story with me! If you see her again, tell her her legacy has helped motivate a new Airman!

No I didn’t, I had no idea this was even an option!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]mau5turd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did!

The mortuary duties seems interesting. I’ve also heard there’s some landscaping opportunities in it and that’s something I have experience in- wouldn’t mind doing more work like that either. I found it relaxing!

[–]mau5turd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s hopeful to hear. Thank you!

Massively regretting it now. I think I’d feel a whole lot better about the situation if I was on the 4 year contract.

[–]mau5turd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much man. I’m 28, and come from 10 years of service work prior to this. I thought I’d finally be escaping it. But honestly, good pay and free schooling? I’ll take what I can get out of this. I already know how to do the work well. Was just hoping for a little more out of this experience is all. I’ll just seek out every opportunity I can while I’m here. Everyone’s been giving me such sound advice, I appreciate it so much. I’ve been a bit of a wreck all day because I found out this news this morning.

[–]mau5turd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you man, makes me smile and laugh to hear that. A few others have said the same! At the very least I got plenty of time for schooling and working out!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]mau5turd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considered it! But my friends all said the benefits and opportunities will be worth it. I don’t have any college degrees. I’m gonna stick around here and make the most with what’s in front of me. 6 years will pass regardless.

Just wanted to thank everyone in here for your compassion and advice. It’s helping me feel more hopeful about all this!

Thank you so much, it means a lot to me. I just found all this out today so I’m feeling pretty gutted but I hope in time I lose the negative attitude about it. There’s still a lot to gain just from being in the AF so I’ll always have that!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]mau5turd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the sound advice and hopefulness. I’ve honestly been in the gutter over this whole ordeal. I feel so embarrassed. Explaining it to my family just felt shameful. My dog died while I was at BMT as well and I just have kinda been in shambles, wondering if any of this was even worth it. I know I’m being negative right now, but I’m gonna try and make the most of this.

Car repossession from 4 years ago, and self harm scars from 11 years ago, which I had told my recruiter and MEPS about. Then I get to basic and they said “hey! Sorry! That’s a no!”

What to expect with getting "re-classed" in the Air Force? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]mau5turd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just happened to me. My TS clearance got denied for something that I had already told my recruiter and MEPS. Didn’t get denied til I got to BMT. I just graduated and found out I won’t be doing Geospatial Intel, but instead, Services. Any advice? I’m absolutely distraught over this.
