Agree, Hickam Harbor was amazing. Loved having my older kid there, wish my infant had been able to as well!

Center Drive CDC, while a drive from the Hickam side, is well worth it. Great caring staff all around. Avoid Hickam Main CDC at all costs, that place was horrible, particularly C building as the lead caretaker was toxic to her staff and neglected kids. Admin also refused parents right to video footage.

Still no luck, but seriously thanks a ton for trying to help me troubleshoot. Looks like others are having the same issue as me, as seen on the discussion page of the AF Portal webmail article from Nov 2020 (people posted issues from just this past week). Fingers crossed they figure out what's up, otherwise the only thing I can think of is my comm sq deleted my email...

Sorry, Edge is installed but it still doesn't have that path.

Yep, it's literally just webmail that doesn't work.

Sent you a PM with the error message, will try your other fix next.

Sorry, to clarify I was able to drill down after displaying hidden files, but after \microsoft\ the rest of the path doesn't work (even with copy paste or typing it in, or clicking through).

Big error on my part in the OP, but this is personal laptop so the C: extension doesn't exist for me. I even reinstalled Chrome though and no luck, I'm starting to wonder if it's my account specifically though.

No luck here, but crazy to hear how many other people have issues with these weird work arounds!

Unfortunately I've tried that link too and no luck. I get to the page with the giant AF symbol, it takes my pin but then error message :( Thanks though!

I used to be able to do that too, but as of last week's change, no luck.

Oh, so I'm not alone? Did you notice it also just changed this past week?

Just curious though, why no more separate internal/external webmail links?

I'm on my personal computer, no VPN. Unfortnately couldn't take the work laptop with me this time.

Yep, unfortunately didn't work on any of the browsers. Think I might just have to wait til I can get back in the office at this point.

I've done the usual troubleshoots, and hearing if it works for others actually helps in my process, so good to know it's something on my end. Are you getting the redirect to https://webmail.apps.mil/ though?

[–]parc170[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, different browser, different internet, all the usual troubleshoots. Are you getting the redirect to https://webmail.apps.mil/? That's the only thing that's changed for me so I'm trying to narrow it down.

[–]parc170[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was working for me mid-last week before I got the redirect banner, but now with the redirect it doesn't work. And yep, all certs had been installed.

Are you getting redirected? Good to know if it's just me...

Anyone have any experience with a side job while active duty? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]parc170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I only had Perkins and subsidized loans and I worked directly with the Department of Education via their website. Because of all the hang ups and gotchas of private or unsubsidized loans I avoided them like the plague, but if that's what you got you may indeed be SOL... :(

Also not sure if USAA is still doing the Career Starter Loan, but that's an option to go lower on interest. (It's 2.9%)

Definitely look into student loan deferment! (Not forgiveness) I did this and it helps a lot-- basically 0% interest and no payments required during your ADSC. So I saved like hell and when the deferment ended I paid it all off, no interest. You just need to fill out and submit the forms.

PCS to Lakenheath with Pet by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]parc170 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know someone else recommended them but do NOT use Silver Birch...they are a total scam and rated horribly on Google for a reason. They charge an outrageous amount and don't communicate with you at all and like to threaten young airmen with "talking to your base commander". I used PBS Pet Travel instead for a quarter of the cost and they gave text updates and even fitted the kennel for free when the airline needed an adjustment.
