That damn video....

There are no speakers on the computer I use so I just played on my phone while the guy talked in silence...them I hit the button and it started over. Didnt really need on the portal anyway

lol this. I was getting so pissed. Maybe it'd be different if my computer had speakers so I could at least hear what was being said.

Same with no sound. I just played music so it looked like he was singing.

SSgt results come out next Thursday, good luck to all you NCO hopefuls out there

Anyone here ever heard of a naval officer switching to air force?

If so please aware me...

I'd imagine it would be pretty tough to do considering the difficulty right now applying for OTS.

What's your rate? Assuming you're LTJG. Some jobs are accepting more than others, just like enlisted side. I'd say if you have a technical degree (engineering, comp sci, etc.) it would be easier than if you were a master basket weaver.

Back when I worked on the U-2 "spy plane", one of our pilots was a former Naval pilot. I believe he was selected to switch to AF to fly the U-2 cause he was that damn good. Not sure on how he went about doing it though, sorry.

I'm an ENS, surface warfare. My degree is in economics. I was just wondering if there are any programs out there similar to blue to green (navy to army officer).

Thanks. And SMSgt???? Not even close.....I don't even have NCOA done yet, haha. But once that's done I'll knock out the course 14. CCAF has been done for a while. Also, working on a first sergeant package, if that works out I'll be good to go

Where do you stand with your bachelors?

Yeah, we have blue to green as well, but I am not currently aware of a "blue to blue?" program. Your best bet is hitting up a recruiter. With economics you could definitely do finance or something similar, or put your name in the hat for one of the general studies officer slots like intel, mx, etc.

[hindes204]

Where do you stand with your bachelors?

I think I'm 18 credits away, so six more classes and bachelors will be done

You going to work on your masters after? Mx is a joke... I look at all the NCO/snco packages that go up for awards and 20% have school... Mostly CCAF, some with stuff towards a bacherlors. So thats why I've been deep into school to set us apart. All those ones with school are usually the winner

Yea, I want to set myself up for when I get out. I don't want to be one of these crusty civilians I work with, 50+ years old still turning wrenches.

I don't think they offer that degree, I will definitely look into it though, sounds like a lucrative career awaits if I have that degree

You'll be fine dude. I know it's probably been difficult to get your degree with all those tdys/deployments you've been on.

Masters in basket weaving?

I'm doing my bachelors in occupational safety and health and then I'll do my masters in environmental. Game on $

Early retirement has just been authorized for TSgt and MSgts with at least 15 years of service. Full retirement benefits awarded except that 1% will be deducted for every year of service below 20.

It'll be interesting to see who at work applies for it on Monday

tell me about it. I respect the crap out of guys who do it, but this isn't something that anyone should be voluntold to do imo

Hell no. It's honor guard.. Something you go do yourself. Being told you have to could will people not try hard and be sloppy.

Anyone in overmanned career fields are eligible. If not overmanned I believe you can still apply with waivers.

[BobbyGz]

got ****ed out of BTZ...

I had a volunteer deployment to Afghanistan and Honor Guard while deployed, 150 USO volunteer hours...etc


My supervisor wrote the worst package ever seen, I was on leave when it was submitted and never saw it until after the fact.



Still plotting my revenge...

Wait, what? There is honor guard at deployed locations?

Word of advice: Get good at writing. Then write your own EPRs, award nominations, and decorations.

I didn't do "honor guard" per se when I was deployed, but we did help the Marine detachment with the transfer ceremonies of all of the fallen that came through. Flag covered caskets, lots of them, it was pretty heart wrenching


And yes, I've been writing my own EPRs and such for about a decade now. I can usually write them better than most of these idiots in maintenance
