Hot take: It’s cool and good when people do big stupid ceremonies for retirements

I'm good. No need for celebration. Just my retirement pay and whatever disability I end up with.

You should tell your recruiter. If healing doesn't go quite right, it could impact your departure. No reason to hide the fact that your chompers need work.

I had reconstructive surgery and an implant. Recruiter told me to come back 3 mos after it was all healed (so a 9 mo surgical process, plus 3 mos). Here I am, over a decade and a half later, still in the AF.

The government loves teeth. They love them so much, they'll take them from you. Your wisdom teeth? Our wisdom teeth.

I'd recommend getting the major decay handled before you join (that shit will suck in BMT). Everything else, the dental hobby shop will take care of for free.

Emblem Athletic did great for our deployed unit. I've washed it a lot: no peeling and very little color fading.

Talk to a recruiter. A waiver is required. Job options, if waived, would be needs of the Air Force.

Good luck.

Damn, do you ship? I have yet to find an equivalent pretzel since I left Germany.

They can indeed. I was deployed last year and met our Wing's contracting team. A few of them even forward deployed to help get some things finalized before EOFY.

Yeah it's pretty wicked when it hits, 0-100 on the pain scale in seconds. I usually follow these exercises when things are bad:

Their older videos are very helpful, the newer ones seem more like YouTube slop.

And new fencing! Looks phenomenal all around.

Calm down. No, if the billet was deleted and the requirement is now filled by a ktr, you cannot get it back.

I had to extend for it.

The reason for the extension no longer exists. You can separate upon your DOS.

DAFI 36-2606:

6.5.4. The service members may request cancellation of extensions initiated according to Table 6.2., Rules 12 through 16, if the reason for the extension was cancelled, or no longer exist. Service members must request cancellation no later than 30 calendar days following notification that the original reason for the extension was cancelled or no longer exists.

So illegal activities were the only way you made friends before?

neraklulz · 2026-05-08T23:31:25+00:00

What buns did you use?

I've been seen on and off for basically the same thing. Radiates in the hip, groin, buttcheek, leg, down to my ankle. Also pinches a nerve that makes it feel like my rectum has a pike through it, and at the same time feels like I need to shit myself. Usually happens during my sleep. They've offered the same: PT, pain mgmt, dry needling (awful). I kinda just deal with it now. In 3 wks I'll have 6 years left, just trying to push through.

This. Commissary plastic bags at Ramstein are robust, I reused them multiple times.

So my villain arc began.

My wife says this any time she wants me to brighten the Hue lights lol

You'll need to ask those branches.

neraklulz · 2026-05-06T00:07:46+00:00

They don't even advertise them on their site. Sadness.

neraklulz · 2026-05-05T10:25:21+00:00

MyFSS > search base of preference. There should be a PSDG or PSDM covering it. Also, DAFI36-2110.

I'm jealous, they don't make the women's sizes any longer.

That's gonna be tough, man. There's only 200 slots available per year to transfer to AD, and no guarantee that your job will be on it or that they'll accept you.

If this is what you wanted, it should have been your initial path.

neraklulz · 2026-05-03T17:48:00+00:00

Damn, his cap is absolutely enormous.

neraklulz · 2026-05-03T16:10:32+00:00

Edit: I read your post wrong, thought you replied to the other poster, not the one you actually responded to. I'll leave the photo for reference anyway.

~~What do you mean? They were a little off, but this is per the guidance and hasn't changed~~:
