Stepped out to lunch to find four inches of snow atop my car in the two hours since I last cleared it. Screw you, Maryland. For all the GIs with brodozers around here, I'd think at least a handful would be able to drive in snow, but my commute to work this morning proved otherwise.

Everyone is leaving for a mission to Asia and I will be here with only one contractor. Great success

I've had multiple snow days since I took this contract job with the army. Didn't even go in one week, it's been nice

Important enough to be one of the first two or three assets sent to trouble spots, not important enough to fund or replace.

I would be retiring in May, but I did a KAIP W/DEP here for 3 years so June '24 is my retirement window. At least I won't get deployed to Ukraine from Korea!

We'll just put every sensor on satellites and datalink it everywhere. That'll be fine, right?

Coming up on 13 years, at least 7 to go in the guard. They wouldn’t deploy a bunch of fat guard engineers to fight Russia, right? …Right?

So imgr has radically changed since the last time I used it forever ago and adding photos is still an absolutely unintuitive cluster but if anyone still uses Facebook the Air Force amn/NCO/snco page has a wild post about someone getting a going away plaque from Incirlik that is a burning house in memory of their house burning down stateside shortly after they had arrived. It’s a lot more….something if you see it in person instead of my exasperated description.

I'm still in, it'd be 2020 season 3 as gently caress if I end up fighting in WW3

lite_sleepr posted:Can anyone imagine still being in? I got out after 10 years in '94, I would die of culture shock today. Having said that ask me about the dreams I have constantly about waiting for TMO to show up and pack up all the poo poo I've accumulated since then, which my dream self acknowledges, so like every television set I've ever owned and piece of furniture is there, ready to go. Meanwhile I'm sitting outside the Wing Commander's office trying to figure out how I'm going to get them to get me out of my orders since I'm 56 with a laundry list of disabilities, and whoops! I forgot this bag of weed in my pocket! It would be so weird being in again...

drat almost a month between posts in the ol' Air Force thread. Did everyone roll up into the space force thread? Is there a space force thread? My penultimate experience with TMO was having the movers no-show, then show up unannounced, pack the house only for me to notice the truck was pretty packed. "Hey, were you guys going to send another truck to get the stuff I have in storage?" "What stuff in storage?" Queue me on the phone for 2 hours with JPSO and TMO on a Friday evening.

Having TMO show up and pack everything, including the engines in my garage was interesting.

gently caress PCSing, especially to/from overseas. Some people think it's romantic/fun/a-life-experience/whatever, but really it's a loving nightmare, and half your poo poo always gets broke, including stuff that can't be replaced due to sentimental value. I'm dealing with this poo poo right now and I practically have to be wasted to deal with it all. I've been back in the US for 6 months & haven't received my HHG poo poo yet; and my ex just received a lot of her HHG poo poo broken, and guess who has to file the claim due to bureaucracy. As for the slow speed of this thread, I think everyone just migrated to the USAF subreddit now, especially since Slippery went MIA. He seemed to be the glue that held the SA USAF thread together.

I think most people got out. I was for a while still working on an air force base but now I can't even say that. As it would turn out, contracting for the army is no different from contracting for the air force

This June is my 20, but I have another year until I can retire since I KAIPed for 3 years. Starting TAP and poo poo as soon as possible, and making sure all my creaks and groans are documented with medical.

Even the USAF Reddit quality is down lately. Too many “What’s the craziest thing you’ve heard of” threads. To add to discussion: That rapey Public Affairs E-9(s) getting a TSgt retirement is pretty horrible. Shoulda got das boot.

Has it ever been good? Everytime I've seen it, it's always just posts complaining about PT tests or some a1c asking a stupid question that could easily be answered by any supervisor.

Not too long after I left WPAFB the command chief of AFMC got in trouble for inappropriate sexytimes. (story is from 2011... I left in 2010) https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna41239826 C'mon chiefs.

The USAF subreddit can be good, if you filter out all the goddamn memes which plague it. I come to it for answers way too much , but it works.

Imagine, two air force systems not talking to each other and showing the same info ![]() and slippery pulled chocks more than 10 years ago i'm sure.

Well that's a first. I just got sent home 1.5 hours early from a phase 2 exercise because a contractor had to go home so the building had to be locked up. ![]() Nothing can stop the US Air Force!

I wonder if he's still as ultra-perky and always-happy as he used to be. real edit: wtf am I saying, anyone in past 10-15 years is jaded as gently caress, i should know
