Brahs. Listing just came out today for Overseas Returnees.

Barksdale
FE Warren
Goodfellow
Lackland
Minot
Moody
FT Sam Houston
Cannon

Any suggestions on how I should order my dream sheet. Thanks

Depends on what your job is. I can tell you that based off that list I would choose Cannon, Fe Warren or Moody, not necessarily in that order.

Just looked at my list... kind of glad it isn't my cycle to move. I still have a 1.5 years left.

Tuition Assistance is back, same as before.

It is pretty messed up that the Air Force decided to cut TA in the first place. It took Congress to come back and tell the Air Force not to cut TA.

Ive used the chit out of TA for years, but honestly I'm ok with it going away. Is it a great benefit? Absolutely. But the GI Bill can be used to get a free education also. I transferred my GI Bill to my daughter, so if I want a Masters degree it will be out of pocket, but Im good with that. The AF paid for my Bachelors, IMO that should be enough. I will have a Masters by the time I get out, and I may even owe some student loans, but Im ok with paying for a portion of my own education

Not AFSOC 130s I sat in on our group meeting today and the GP/CC was talking about how we aren't being touched, at least at cannon. Not sure about Hurby. That sucks you are having issues getting your jumps in. Don't you have to do X amount of jumps each quarter to get paid?

have all the u-28's left cannon for hurlburt?

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Weather is hot already. Gonna be a hot summer. Especially in my gear.

[iccyman001]

I love mine. Great people, great trips and great aircraft.

IT IS ALL dependent on YOUR attitude and your squadron. Most people are just pansies and let drama get to them. MX is joke central, so if you can't take a joke or dish one don't do it.

Plus judging your past post you not liking to work odd hours or wake up early I'd stay away... Us MX'ers is the reason the prop spins.

Can anyone tell me how much they like their mechanic/maintainer job on a scale of 1-10. Pros and Cons?

9 IMO, serious

dat feel when just signed your first contract and mom thinks I'm going to be in afghanistan fighting al qaeda for 4 years.

dat feel when just signed your first contract and mom thinks I'm going to be in afghanistan fighting al qaeda for 4 years.

lawl... Tell her not to worry about AFG and that chances are good you'll be going to Syria, Iran or NK instead.

On a slightly more serious note, chances are good you won't be deploying for at least 2 years after basic, and even then chances are really good that you won't be going to AFG.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

Depending on location you'll probably just eat till youre sleepy and sleep till you're hungry :P

I have high doubts you'll go to afganistan

fudge bb.com. I have solely purchased through them because of their awesome service, but they didn't send me a 20% off coupon when I signed up. will be taking my business else where. it's not the money, but the principal of the matter. someone who's been purchasing from you for 6 or 7 years shouldn't even need to sign up to begin with

I get all my stuff from a competitor....much cheaper prices and a $5.95 flat shipping charge

[Epictetus IV]

gotcha. I would not mind if they cut our units locals back. I get that it helps the pilots tremendously, but they are pointless for loads after being local qualed. all we can do are combat offloads/backing, and neither are hard for the load.

Oh that's right, you guys don't get to do airdrop right off the bat... Must suck...

lol

agree to a point, especially with the current economy...however if not having a certain degree is a discriminator for promotions (Masters to get Major) they should at least pay for some of it.

[mctaggsm]

Also, just found out that I got picked up for a flight test engineer position, which is going to be alot of fun!

Damn low blow lol. Our unit does not do airdrop and has only pcs'ed a couple people in the last 7 years. My chances of airdrop are very slim. My only chance would be to get picked up for the altus gig, and then get qualed after finishing there

[achillessimi]

are the showers really kinkier than prison?

[Jpenn89]

My MPF office is literally the most asinine place... ever. (Not the people the procedures)

they sent me an Email a couple months ago saying that I need to have all my training complete and my line badge turned in prior to receiving my orders, but my out processing check list says I shouldn't be turning in my line badge until 14 days prior to my final out...

But I have to schedule an appointment with TMO by the end of the month, but I need orders to do that...

So my timeline is all kinds of fuked up...

I have to call them and see WTF I need to do.

lol wut? turning in your line badge THAT early? sign me up..

[Jpenn89]

lol wut? turning in your line badge THAT early? sign me up..

Exactly, I was confused by the whole process. If they want me to turn it in fine, but the Security manager said i need to be 2 weeks out to pick up the paperwork to turn it in, but MPF said it needs to be turned in to get my orders...

To my base...
U wot mate?

SM here: You take your base outprocessing checklist to your SM to sign you off saying you did it. But, of course you'll bring your line badge in to him/her 2 weeks out to properly "get rid of it." MPF only will see the SM signature on the checklist (or vMPF outprocessing checklist) since the SFS line badge turn-in receipt is stored by your Sq SM in a file cabinet anyways. That's how I've been doing it for the past couple of years, and haven't had an issue. It doesn't make sense that you turn it in that early when there is still time where you would need to use it at work.

Now, if your SM won't sign it off for you..then he/she is a douche. for reals.

[AFMARQ]

are the showers really kinkier than prison?

Yes. Insane kinky. All the guys look like your pic in your avatar too. They usually walk slowly towards you, soaked in soap and hot water, making the same pucker kissy face squint eyes ready for action. If that's what you're looking for sign up!

You would choose Cannon? Are you from there or something? Why on earth would someone CHOOSE Cannon? I would take any one of those bases over Cannon.

From that list, I'd put Barksdale, Moody, Lackland, Sam Houston, FE Warren, and just leave the rest off your dream sheet.

[liammac]

Oh that's right, you guys don't get to do airdrop right off the bat... Must suck...

lol

Nah not really I rather fly around the world doing air land than do airdrop on a 130 and not leave the CONUS ever

Damn low blow lol. Our unit does not do airdrop and has only pcs'ed a couple people in the last 7 years. My chances of airdrop are very slim. My only chance would be to get picked up for the altus gig, and then get qualed after finishing there

You mad I'm going to airdrop school after my deployment BTW they dont qual you for airdrop if you PCS to Altus as an IL anymore. you have to get it sent to airdrop school by your unit and im sure you know there are only 2 bases that do airdrop for C-17s.
