Knives Amilli posted:Does anyone know of a website that sells air force blues and at a lower rate than AAFES? Im a MXS guardsmen whose worn his blues twice in 6 years and not only have I gotten to fat for my Tech School fit blues but I also lost my service coat Look up dry cleaners and/or military surplus stores near the nearest active duty base. They will have tons of stuff airmen never picked up or sold when the EASd. Some of them might have a website but I bet you can get them to ship something to you even if it's over the phone.

Knives Amilli posted:Nah. Not that I know off. Seems like most Guardsmen dont have extra poo poo to lose/give away. If you've got free time, a drive to Dayton would be your best bet on finding what you need on the cheap. Wright Pat is pretty decent sized and I imagine there are lots of dumb enlisted who leave poo poo at the cleaners there or sell their stuff to surplus stores outside the base.

Victor Vermis posted:I watched sketchy looking people on IR cameras during off-patrol days in The United States Marine Corps Infantry. You should go Marine Corps Intel so you can do some intel related stuff but also get to do all the fun things POGs do to try to convince themselves they are as tough as infantrymen. Ever wanted to carry a telephone pole 4 blocks up a hill because your company commander saw an infantry platoon doing it once? Sign up now before all the combat vets EAS.

Typical Gnu posted:This sounds like a half-joke but Marines right now seem to be tied with Air Force, largely because the Marine office at the local recruitment center is run by good people who are dead set on making people ready for the military, while the Air Force office has a phone number on the window that you call to get the recruiter to show up. Right now I suppose I'm mostly trying to figure out what the difference is between what Marine intelligence and Air Force intelligence do, and if there really is a huge difference between Marines in intel and Air Force folks in intel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m93Ct7QPCMg Don't join the Marine Corps unless you want the entire package. I wasn't joking when I told you that even the POGiest of desk jockeys will do dumb poo poo like run telephone poles up hills because you are a "warrior". If that makes you hard and you want to be surrounded by folks who think mental fortitude makes up for being dumb as gently caress, sign up tomorrow.

Volkerball posted:So I've been looking into enlisting again, and I might just be hosed, but I'm not sure. I'd be coming in as a prior service guy. The background is that I joined in 07 as an infantryman, graduated OSUT, Airborne, and R.I.P. Later on I was sent to a standard airborne unit where I was waivered to specialist at 18 months to the day. About that time, I was flagged for hearing loss with an H-3 profile, and forced to reclass to 25S, which is some signal poo poo. The problem was that the retention NCO at my old unit sent me to AIT for 25S despite the course mandating at least 3 years time in service, while I only had 2.5 left. When this was all discovered, they told me to re-enlist, and I said no. After a little less than a year of fighting with them through the IG and JAG and getting nowhere, it seemed pretty clear they were just going to let me sit out the rest of my enlistment in hold for a class I wasn't eligible for. As a hot-headed kid who joined 100% to be an infantryman and who had been in the Army since a few days after I graduated high school, and was getting treated like poo poo on the daily by a bunch of TRADOC POGs because I "couldn't hack it in the Army," I was just ready to move on. So I got pissed off and just started showing up to work whenever I felt like, not wearing my uniform, not getting haircuts, that kind of thing. Just get me the hell out of there. I ended up getting out on a pattern of misconduct discharge with a 3 for a re-entry code. Real talk: Your life must really suck if you are looking at enlisting in the Army again. I'd seriously look at other ways to improve your situation other than the mil because you don't have a snowball's chance in hell of coming back in. You got kicked out for a pattern of misconduct. I've never seen anyone ever get their RE Code upgraded for a discharge like that and between me and the Army recruiters, I probably talked to 40 or 50 who tried. No one would take you with an RE-3 during the surge (2006-2009) so I doubt that anyone would even spend time talking to you when all the branches are downsizing. I'm not saying this to be mean. You just need to know that without getting your discharge upgraded, no one will spend any effort working with you. Hekk fucked around with this message at 09:28 on Jan 20, 2016 |

Zetta_Slow posted:After tons of paperwork and running back and forth, they have decided to send my case to the Surgeon General. They said I'll be waiting about six to eight weeks for the results, and I talked to my uncle who was a colonel in the AF, and he said that this is going to most likely be good for me. I know everything is out of my hands at this point, but what is everyones experience with cases that get escalated? I wasn't on medication, so they said that would help a ton, but is there a certain way they review the case? And if I do get declined can I try to go with a waiver, or is it just over if I get declined? Anything going to the surgeon general is for a waiver. If you are denied enlistment because of a disqualification that the surgeon general didn't waive, your options are pretty limited. I've heard of folks writing their congressman and having general officers write letters on their behalf, but I've never seen it actually get a waiver approved.

Vahakyla posted:Well the Army decided to loving shaft me today. Informing that my ship out date of 11th april is pushed to the 1st of september due to security checks of green card holders being backlogged. Feel free to join the Marines but only if you promise to post in here about how much you hate your life afterwards. Practice these words "Butter Butter Jam!!" "Die Motherfucker Die!!" because those are what you will be screaming at the top of your lungs instead of actually getting to shoot real rounds. Now that there aren't battalions in Afghanistan or Iraq anymore, all of the training money is getting dumped into the Marine Expeditionary Units (units that deploy on Navy ships). No one else has funding so unless you get slated to be the Battalion Landing Team for a MEU, you get to shoot pretend bullets and walk lots of places.

Oh Hell No posted:Yeah, I went ahead and laid out my medical history to the best of my ability while still making sure that I only answered the questions that I was asked. Judging from how often ADHD specifically came up in the initial recruitment form and the last medical form that the recruiter gave me, that seems to be a huge concern in the military compared to other conditions, so I don't expect a call on Monday asking if I can provide the paperwork for the two minor surgeries I had as a kid. If the surgeries were minor and the applicant was really young, I used to have the parents write a letter to the medical officer saying what happened and that it wouldn't be possible to get medical records because your family practitioner was dead/moved out of state/no longer practiced and the records were destroyed in a flood/fire/locust swarm etc. Then I'd have them reiterate how there was no lasting impact and you were 100 percent capable. It was easier to do that with dudes who couldn't take a hint and insisted on telling everyone about the time they got a crayon stuck in their nose when they were 2. That was if the docs did have questions I had the letter up front and it takes less time to have them write something while I am looking at them then to have to track people down.

LingcodKilla posted:Your welcome. I've been using it on my weekend excursions all up and down from NYC to Richmond. Yeah I use AirBnB to get cheap apartments all over Asia and Oceania whenever we pull into port somewhere. I am sure it pisses people off the same way Uber pissed off cabbies but it's cheap and I don't really care. Hekk fucked around with this message at 13:22 on Nov 19, 2016 |

Your CO can authorize you an interim secret clearance while your investigation is conducted. Talk to your security manager and get a new SF-86 to fill out. I just redid mine a couple of months ago on ship and all the E-6 did was screen it and send it off to our higher in San Diego. I don't know anything about TS since there is no way I'd ever qualify for one.
