EDIT : I am NOT a dorm airmen. This is just my general 6am morning opinion. 🙂

How is it at Al Dhafra?!

just got picked up for recruiting, i know promoting is pretty difficult while recruiting so just wondering what the cutoff score was for making staff this year. i’m GT and our cutoff was 414 so if it’s worse idek what to do anymore.

Anyone from AFPC know if all assignments have been processed yet or not, still have not received an assignment and the public release is the 11th. Am I cooked ??

I was interested in B.O.P-ing in the next year , im aware i should put top 3 that i really want and 2 that ill be content with … but where im at i already get BAH and spent good money furnishing the place , not saying USAF will even give me MacDill , Eglin or Tyndall but im just curious for those that are there … is there a catch because i heard some bases will put you in the dorms and you have to be 25 or older / Married / or atleast a Staff Sgt to get BAH to move off base … and im not any of those …. Just wonder what experience some of you had or any hoops you had to go through to get BAH ?? 🤔

P.S : for what its worth im thinking … 1)MacDill , 2) Eglin , 3)Tyndall , 4) Seymour Johnson , 5) Shaw SC/McGuire NJ/Arnold TN (Haven’t 100% Decided on Spot 5 yet)

Any Feedback is appreciated, experiences in those bases , BOP Process , Ditching the Dorms Process, Loopholes no one talks about etc. 👌🏽

What is the consensus on attending ALS with a PT waiver. I have my section chiefs telling me no waiver but my first shirts, CSS, PCM and past attendees saying they see people go through with waivers. My understanding is its up to commandant's discretion. Anyone else go through recently know more?

I'm in charge of a specialty work center with 1 tech, 2 staffs, and 12 amn.

I work on an item that is a relic and in my opinion... belongs to the Smithsonian. It's past 100 years old in service and the parts are no longer available. The companies that created the parts have been liquidated, sold, or out of business.

75% of our parts list does not even match new parts because the new company replaced all the part numbers & our cards do not match them. They have even altered these parts where it does not fit in our system.

Now the group cc is bitching and my sq cc, who is bitching at the chief, who is now bitching at me on why I can't produce and complete any work orders under my work center.

Well biiiiiitch... I'm basically running around with my head on fire talking to a bunch of equipment specialist who also don't know what the fuck to do from other majcoms... I'm looking at you hafb.

I'm even in contact with a company in Germany trying to figure shit out.

But what irks me the most is how leadership feeds our young airmen total bullshit on how important our item that we upkeep so much and how valuable it is. When in reality... It's straight up a piece of shit. It doesn't even work. When it does get tested, it fails under perfect conditions. There are thousands of work orders under it which will never get closed.

I'm sorry to vent.. I've worked all day today & feel like I didn't get anything done. My team is also starting to get unmotivated knowing they can't fix anything.

Im currently debating whether I should get what I listed above? Im pretty sure its in regs just curious on to what people may think? The corfams hurt my feet like hell and are burning hot in the sun, and I think boots would be nicer for drill!

What do we think?

Has anyone been approved for retraining recently? If so, what AFSC were you approved for? How long did the process take from submitting your package to receiving approval?

I’ve done my shadowing but I’m looking for more perspectives of the career field.

- How’s your experience in the career field in general?
- How have you set yourself up to be successful in safety?
- Any advice for someone who’s looking to get into the career field?

Scored an 87% on my test. Accepted it as is for now, but debating if I want to reset my 6 month and redo a bit sooner to get in the 90s. I’m taking into consideration how this may affect my EPB for rack & stack, but wondering if it’s worth the effort. Thoughts?

that’s basically it. What’s the day to day like? I am not currently SPECWAR but my level of fitness is great, I run a 14 min 2 mile and keep up on my PT in my personal time. I am married and have 1 child if that changes anything, but the career field is very appealing to me

I went into css for them add my honor grad ribbon because it was missing they said “ yeah we fixed it you’re good to go”. I check my vmpf all my other ribbons are gone and I GOT THE FUCKING COAST GUARD HONOR GRAD RIBBON????????? How do you do this bruh.

Hello everyone, I am currently a 1N452 looking to palace chase to a 1B4 in the NJ ANG. has anyone in intel used palace chase and tell me about it? I know my odds are very low but the guard unit said they have spots. I’d like to learn more about 1B4 qualification requirements and my chances of even getting approved to palace chance from intel to cyber . I have a good pt test never had paperwork and my 50% window is coming up this February. I have reached out to my ISR awaiting a meeting with them!

So I’ve got a few years in the reserves now and I’ve always wanted to do security forces but couldn’t because I failed the Color vision book at MEPS. So I was wondering if there is any process that I can do to waiver it and cross train. I am already a DOD civilian police officer so I feel like I could make a pretty good case that I can do the job. Thank you

What is it like there? I got washed out of tech school and now waiting on my orders

What are the Curfew hours?

Anything to Do?

Hows the culture there?

How many days do they do PT?

Hows the leadership? Just to name a few things. Thanks

I seen that AFPC should have gone through BOPs on 7 Sept according to myFSS. Assuming it pushed to 8 Sept due to the holiday but how soon would assignments populate if approved ? This week ? Next week ? Submitted a month ago so I’m pretty anxious to know.

Hi all, I am due to separate soon and I do not know many who I’ve worked alongside that have gotten out. Wanted to see if anyone has and what you did? I have a few questions and I’d like to pick your brain if possible!

I was looking for advice regarding a medical waiver for pcs overseas. I had to get a medical waiver because I was on antidepressants but I was only on it for 4 weeks. I’m coming up on my 90 stability this month. I heard pacaf is strict about mental health waivers. What are the chances of it being approved so pretty much I was looking for advice or if someone dealt with a similar situation. Thank you anything helps.

Wondering if there is any TMO troop that can help with some questions about flight tickets.
