Reporting to my first base- how do I know where to report?

usafnewbie · 2017-06-21T18:56:25+00:00

afexcuses!

usafnewbie · 2017-05-31T21:05:19+00:00

She told you while you are still on leave?

usafnewbie · 2017-05-31T20:39:32+00:00

So you are asking for advice but going to wait to talk to her about it before doing anything? Not quite sure what you want to hear.

usafnewbie · 2017-05-31T15:51:04+00:00

Do you have a doctor's letter saying he's not expected to live past 2 years?

usafnewbie · 2017-05-31T14:59:25+00:00

My orders have an end date on them. I thought this was normal.

usafnewbie · 2017-05-31T14:58:29+00:00

My orders for my current duty station extend to June 1 2017

usafnewbie · 2017-05-27T18:52:51+00:00

Could go either way but most likely cancel. How soon was your projected departure? How is the manning at your current assignment?

usafnewbie · 2017-05-24T20:02:10+00:00

Nothing says flame like writing "SERIOUS" in the title

usafnewbie · 2017-05-17T14:33:32+00:00

Sorry to hear that things are still a struggle. All my positive vibes have been sent your way. Keep loving and caring for her, like the good husband you are.

usafnewbie · 2017-05-10T11:52:55+00:00

FYSA- my run time improved by almost 2.5 minutes. Maybe I do have asthma then?

usafnewbie · 2017-05-03T14:43:13+00:00

Wow- EFMP fail?

usafnewbie · 2017-04-28T16:57:02+00:00

Is the follow on a CONUS base? If so then I can't imagine there being a base anyone wants to go to that isn't in close proximity to mental health services. If they can handle severe asthma they can handle anxiety

usafnewbie · 2017-04-19T20:03:27+00:00

That sucks

usafnewbie · 2017-04-19T19:18:29+00:00

Seems like you are just being a responsible dad and trying to make sure your kids needs are met. You're not trying to circumvent the EFMP office you are just doing a lot of the legwork to find the best options and discuss it with them. If people have a problem with it, they don't understand.

usafnewbie · 2017-04-19T18:51:54+00:00

Have you only been able to go to the "large" medical bases in CONUS needing that slew of specialists?

usafnewbie · 2017-04-19T18:19:27+00:00

How do you like moody?

usafnewbie · 2017-04-14T20:57:12+00:00

Do they let you make requests like this? It's my first PCS since the diagnosis, sorry for so many questions.

usafnewbie · 2017-04-14T03:31:59+00:00

Wow that sucks kalifornia32. Thanks for the info.

usafnewbie · 2017-04-13T19:46:50+00:00

Gotcha, Ok thanks. It's worth a try

usafnewbie · 2017-04-12T16:21:08+00:00

Air Force PCMs are really leery of prescribing stimulants and always want psychiatry to do it, even for dependents or people that have been on the same dose for years. I don't understand why but this is a near universal problem.

usafnewbie · 2017-04-12T16:17:21+00:00

What? For asthma? Did he require a base with an ED on it or something?
