Hey so is Kadena actually a decent place to PCS? It seems like it's kind of in the middle of nowhere looking at a map. I liked Vegas because it's not a military town so going OCONUS and ending up in the Japanese equivalent of Minot would kind of suck.

Do you like being locked down on the base because marines can't stop raping locals? If so, Okinawa is for you.

This. It's all fun and games until some guy you've never met brings down a curfew by barging into a random house, punching a kid in the face and then jumping off a roof and breaking both his legs. I got out of there just before they started doing the straight up "Battle Buddy" routine.
Overall though Okinawa was an awesome enough experience that even the AF couldn't completely ruin it. I'm in loving Minot now though so my perspective is probably skewed, any and everywhere OCONUS is a "decent place to PCS".

It's not in the middle of nowhere. The island is a dense urban area everywhere south of the base, with touristy beach areas along the coast until you get about 10 miles north of the base. Then it's rural tropical mountain terrain from there on with a few cities here and there.

So, I guess you could say it's the Japanese Minot if Minot was surrounded by beaches, resorts, oceans, mountains, and 1.5M+ people.

In case you guys don't bother to read the big red server announcements at the top of the page, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. OpenSSL had a major security breach that resulted in people being able to use a rather simple Python scripts to trawl for log-in/password information for any site that uses OpenSSL for security.

Second only to the base housing office in being crap. Going to hold off on prodding them for now because of this risk. How would comm shut it down? I could probably just ignore them and delete their emails. Might just submit it with the new proposed hosting so they can't find the existing one.

Well call me crazy but the poo poo clouds are on the horizon for this hospital and I'm looking to jump ship. It turns out the Air Forces strategy of hiring a ratio of 2:1-3:0 catty teenage girls to guys has resulted in a moody back logged mess that they apparently can't yell at because it's mean and makes people cry.
Either I'm going to end up in charge of clearing this backlog since I was the one who did it the last time or more likely I'll just be told to clear the backlog and do my regular job.

I could probably roll into Travis winthin the next year easy but I want to see the world and all that jazz so which OCONUS base is the best? Landstuhl, Kadena, Lankenheath?

Edit: Basically I'm tired of having been here one of the longest, I'm tired of being one of the most skilled and reliable, I'm REALLY loving tired of being the go to guy. I want to be the guy who gets OCONUS orders to a 4 man shop with less than a year on station because I'm so lovely I stand out even in this poo poo show. I want to be the person they don't put on patient care because they can't be trusted to not kill someone even with a Dr. hanging over their shoulder. I want to be the person who gets little crying breaks in the break room because answering a phone is so loving hard.

4H051 soon to be 4H071. Not counting Elmendorf we can really only go to Landstuhl, Kadena or Lankenheath and England is a really small shop they just recently topped off. Like the only other OCONUS we have is Hawaii a 1 person E6-E7 slot that I obviously don't have the rank nor any of the certs for. I don't know when we lost Turkey but from some of the stories I heard that place was pretty sketch.

Like I'd rather stay inpatient but I know that limits my choices even more so I'm willing to go back to a clinic because it sounds like they may start having the inpatient people start doing the clinics work because they are a bunch of worthless cry baby cunts who can't function on their own and should probably just be straight fired to make room for someone new to take a swing at putting papers in a drawer and answering a telephone.

Landstuhl people tell me they hate it because of the Army, but everyone at Ramstein wants to go there because gently caress Ramstein. This is a 4N0 perspective, however. Ramstein lab seems to be very well ran and have excellent morale.

I did, from some PA ANG unit. Usually the only actual mail I get from the AF these days is notices to update my IRR information, so I was very confused for a minute. I thought it was just going to be some 'please join the Reserves/ANG' crap. Turns out it was because a bunch of names/PII (that were gathered to send a 'please join the Reserves/ANG' message to) were accidentally sent to some state govt official.

I'm stationed in California and my wife works here but we pay our state taxes to Virginia. I am PCSing to Ramstein in July and would like to know if she's eligible for unemployment benefits due to my PCS. I'm not 100% on which state she should file in though. Anyone run in to a similar situation?


Derek Dominoe posted:

You can get unemployment when your spouse is still working?

I don't know if she'll be working if we get to Ramstein. Without a degree or even some sort of certification in her field it might not be likely she can continue to do the same thing. In the states it's okay since there are a lot of private practices that don't mind due to her experience, they just pay a little less. In Germany however, we have no clue how things will work.

The answer to this simple question is 'yes, absolutely'.

The answer to 'can my wife collect unemployment legally because I dragged her rear end to loving Germany' I don't know.

Also I don't think it matters where your income tax went, her unemployment taxes come out before that and would be for Cali, but again that's the kind of thing you should ask people that actually know.

Ok well let me clear it up. The government will take you to court and fine the poo poo out of you and order you to payback the money you collected from unemployment while working and force you to move to a different state away from your family and kids so you can serve out the probation they also put on you. This happened to someone I work with ex and it is now affecting the clinic because her child care options are going to poo poo.

But yeah if that's all appealing to you go for it.
