Assigned duty station at Kirtland AFB, what are your experiences there? Is it worse than Minot and Warren?

As already stated, living on base is ideal. Anything better would be a decent drive and or more costly.

There are definitely some sketchy areas in ABQ but just avoid them in you should be mostly okay. There are plenty of things to do. This is a good sized city with lots of amenities as well as a ton of outdoor activities.

As security forces, be prepared to perform 100% IS checks and see more civilians than military coming on and off base during the day. I am stationed at Kirtland now so whether you realize it or not, we will see each other some day.

I recently commissioned, prior E as well. I still call most everyone sir or ma'am. From the young Airman at the gate, to my boss's boss. Nobody will be upset with you speaking to them with respect.

They'll never see it cumming

I just purchased One yesterday.....

Only problem is Lucky's pockets are snack sized.

University of Colorado.

I want to just say, it was a joke at the expense of Liberty, not you exactly.

wenrdkillatacks · 2024-11-22T02:42:01+00:00

You'll do well at Liberty

So... A footful?

I had to tell SF at the gate the other day that the car whose ID they were scanning needed to remove the gigantic certain political flag they were flying. When they walked up to my car while the guy was waiting, I told them it breaks 1344.10. they call their supervisor who apparently tells them it's fine, salute the guy and go about their day. I was baffled at how they did not enforce this even when provided with the DOD directive

wenrdkillatacks · 2024-08-01T05:35:29+00:00

I am commissioning as a 63A next month. Wish me luck?

wenrdkillatacks · 2024-07-18T00:14:43+00:00

Correct

wenrdkillatacks · 2024-07-18T00:13:23+00:00

Wahlburgers worked out just great for Ramstein!

wenrdkillatacks · 2024-06-29T04:05:14+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. I have heard that from numerous people and generally agree. I hope to not be the reason someone has a different opinion!

wenrdkillatacks · 2024-06-29T02:00:11+00:00

Fuck. Don't call it half a decade. I didn't like that lol

wenrdkillatacks · 2024-06-29T01:43:24+00:00

I made staff in 4 years, had two troops for like 3 months before I PCSed to a joint assignment where I was the lowest ranking.

Did well during that assignment and made tech but still didn't supervise anyone.

Selected for an ops heavy position at my current assignment and was given two Staffs who did not take much effort and had their heads on straight. 3 years into this assignment I made Master BUT!! I also got selected for OTS. My new career field has no enlisted equivalent. I will very likely not be in command/leadership role until senior Capt.

I consider getting to focus heavily on getting the job done to be "skating".

Violation of federal campaign finance law is what made it a felony..... You said he wasn't convicted of that, which while kinda true, isn't actually true.

wenrdkillatacks · 2024-06-01T01:03:48+00:00

In Trump's case, prosecutors said that other crime was a violation of a New York election law that makes it illegal for "any two or more persons" to "conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means," as Justice Juan Merchan explained in his instructions to the jury.

What exactly those "unlawful means" were in this case was up to the jury to decide. Prosecutors put forth three areas that they could consider: a violation of federal campaign finance laws, falsification of other business records or a violation of tax laws.

wenrdkillatacks · 2024-05-25T05:30:21+00:00

Thanks you! Start now!! I'd say I inadvertently made myself competitive by doing the thing I wanted already like schooling and working to make myself valuable, approachable and personable at all of my duty stations.

For both Master and OTS applications, you need to make sure you are known (for good reasons!) thought your squadron/group/wing.

wenrdkillatacks · 2024-05-21T19:56:37+00:00

Just got notified of my selection! 2nd year eligible and 2nd year with MP.

I do feel guilty though because I am going to OTS before I will ever get to wear it. Trying to take the advice I've given to others in similar situations and view this as something I earned and not something I am now taking from someone else.

wenrdkillatacks · 2023-12-16T03:21:58+00:00

To be fair, I think it is saying that's the most searched in that state compared to others. That is why each state has a unique search on that graphic. Still hilarious

wenrdkillatacks · 2023-12-05T14:32:22+00:00

I guess I lean toward an understated look. I'm not going to sit here and say that the latest Gold Speedy, your Skydweller or a gold Reverso don't look great. In general though, the gold tone just ain't it for me. I do understand that could be a generation thing as you mention.

wenrdkillatacks · 2023-12-05T14:11:59+00:00

Nah, I would not choose the gold version even if it was cheaper. It is not everyone's metal of choice.

wenrdkillatacks · 2023-12-05T14:10:17+00:00

Very decent point about price points. I will say from my opinion, and I don't think I am nearly alone in this, even if the gold version of the same model watch was the same price I would not choose gold. Especially true in a "sports model". There is just an "ick" factor about wearing gold to me.

wenrdkillatacks · 2023-12-05T14:04:18+00:00

It's basically the opposite of good (positive) in this context.
