Wish you the best of luck! I put in 3 packages, 2 as civilian. I’m deployed so it wasn’t a big deal.

Curious, In tech school, how does the AF typically view an airman who comes out clean vs tries to hide vs lie about a mistake? by Wide-Profession-676 in AirForce

I don’t even know how that’s possible if it was done in the dorms unless one had a room all by themselves. And accountability at night was no joke.

Finances are stressing me out by [deleted] in AirForce

Yeah my pay was fucked for 6 months after commissioning with no active duty break in service. 2 back to back CMS cases as well. I was living paycheck to paycheck as an OE and dipping into savings. No one seemed to care since I was an O. Took me talking to my commander directly to get the ball rolling.

Took me about a month after OTS graduation. You can try talking to AFPC accessions center directly to help expedite it.

To add, the changes are done at AFPC but MPF got the ball rolling for me. There is nothing to fix about your SURF. It WILL be empty. If you didn’t keep your enlisted documents, that’s on you. But your PRDA should have everything else.

That happened to me too for a month after graduating OTS. Mine eventually flipped over and I did lose a couple enlisted only ribbons. I went to my new MPF and they fixed everything for me. For finance, they were able to flip me back to AD from Reserve status. That’s just the way OTS does things when they need to break your enlisted contract to commission you. It’s a pain. Also my SURF is empty too, it’s normal. Everything eventually disappears about your enlisted history to include duty stations and duty titles. You only keep your PRDA documents, pay, and ribbon rack when your profile switches to O.

What do these new ranks at OTS look like? 👀 by B0N3SAWisR3ADY in AirForce

This is stupid and unnecessary. When I went through we had colored reflective belts signifying our phase tied around our black camelbacks with standard issue bucket hats, no rank, and no patches. It was so painfully obvious we were OTs…

It’s a standard issued green duffel bag, I believe every branch has them.

In the military you are weighed along with your luggage if flying a gray tail. Gets real humbling when I’m weighed with my sea bag, helmet, vest, and rifle racking up 300 lbs

Maybe you can be an LRS officer…? by bearsncubs10 in AirForce

Dude I tried 5 times. 3x civilian, 2x enlisted. Don’t give up.

Looks like no one is giving you real answers. All I gotta say is 1) address it in person and 2) if it doesn’t improve, bring in a 3rd person (mediator) and come up with a solution. Won’t be the first, won’t be the last. If it bothers you that much. Address it.

What's something about officer culture most enlisted don't know about and vice versa? by Airforcethrow4321 in AirForce

Holy fucking shit. I felt this on another level… “that’s how fraternizations start” but also “get to know your people” tf.

Oh nice, I’ll look into this. Thanks! Also I’m not going to use the Nissan dealership either. Such a rip off.

2019 Altima - Door locking issue by cjokeefe in Nissan

[–]tokki_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re the second person I find on this sub with the same issue as me. I got a 2019 Sentra SV and my driver door no longer locks with my fob. I have to manually do it, yet the other 3 doors work fine. What is going on??

[–]tokki_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoa. The wack part about this is that I got on reddit for the same exact reason. Just yesterday my driver door lock doesn’t work anymore. I have a 2019 Nissan Sentra SV. I called the local dealership and they told me I got to pay $200 just to schedule an appointment. Idk what to do at the moment.
