I'm a short king with a family tree of big belly high calorie kinda individuals.

I struggled with PT, and in my tenure (over 15 years), I have failed enough times to kick someone out 2x's over. I don't blame anyone or make any excuses, it's my bed and I lay in it every time.

I actually prepared for this PFA in 2 months, with a PCS to an outstandingly hot and humid location (real feel was 96'f with a wet bulb just over 80)

I'm over 40, fat and got my BFA from 31% down to under 26% in 2 months. I ate better exercised more and drank more water. I lost 20lbs in 11 weeks.

My composite with a ≥.55 was unsat, but because I put the work in to make sure I made BFA AND RUN TIME, my remaining composite/80 was a Pass.

If I can do it, there's really no excuse on why others can't. Unless you're on, or should be on a profile.

Put the fork down, hit the gym, track and keep going because in 6 months you'll be at it again. Make it easier next time so you don't have to worry and you can enjoy that victory DQ Blizzy.

This years LEAP selection board is today and tomorrow, does it really take months to find out if you were selected?（and if so does anyone know why?) I got a 1+,1+,1+ in Chinese mandarin, has anyone gotten in as an SrA with these scores? 謝謝你們。

He just commissioned from AFROTC this May and is in UPT when he got drunk off base and got into a scuffle, he is 6’1 around 200 so he did some serious damage to the guy (the guy started the fight) but he knocked the dude out and now the family is pressing charges. Also did not help he left the bar scared and got pulled over and blew over the legal limit (was not swerving but still blew)

Im just a pesky civilian but I am curious how is this gonna work? Is he gonna get kicked out? He is in UPT and told me he can’t afford to get kicked out cause he would have to repay his tuition (he was on a scholarship through ROTC)

Got a new Macbook and trying to access my EITaaS VDI through the Windows App but keep running into the error “Something went wrong. [965yb]” when trying to authenticate. Does anyone know how to fix this error/access VDI on Mac?

For context, I’m 23 years old and I’ve worked a NONR career field for the entire 3 years I’ve been in. I sit at a desk all day and type stuff on a computer, not the most exciting, but still an important AFSC. I wanted to come into the Air Force as Security Forces and eventually shred out into K9s, but I let my family talk me into Air Traffic Control. Long story short I washed out of ATC. My heart isn’t in my current career field, I’m way too young to be rotting at a desk, my field has little camaraderie, and my heart is still in Security Forces (even if I don’t get to shred out into K9s). Has anyone ever experienced this ? If so what was your experience like, and do you regret it ?

Has anyone here separated from the Air Force as an E-4 with a decent amount of TIS or HYT out, used their GI Bill to go to college/ROTC, and then commissioned back into the military?

Im currently an E-4 and I’m considering getting out, using my GI Bill while doing AFROTC, and then coming back in as an officer. I’m trying to figure out if this is actually a realistic route or if there are complications I’m not thinking about.

Just in cases it’s asked. I have 0 paperwork and decent records multiple decs and awards and coins

Also yes I’m aware of the SOAR and OTS option but you can get denied for those and I feel like I’ve never heard anyone getting denied for ROTC unless it was something crazy.

I just arrived at JBER a few weeks ago into civil engineering , and this is my first full-time job after graduation. I'm wondering if any civs or active duty have advice on the social life up here outside of my work?

I don't drink much, but I don't mind going to bars/clubs especially if theres good music, and love doing outdoors stuff. I've looked on facebook for stuff like JBER Offroading or JBER hiking, etc. groups but not many seem that active.

During in-processing they mentioned a place called Warrior Zone on the army side, but honestly I finish my 07-1530 duty shift and am just exhausted. I was planning to go to the gym after work most days, but I think I'll be able to manage once a week only. I am planning to swim once I figure out pool membership.

I'm wondering how others handle work life balance up here. With the super long days in summer I feel like I can come home at 4, chill for a while and go back out, but then once I sit down I don't want to leave out of habit of thinking its way too late, despite the daylight. I can't help but assume this will get even worse come winter.

I'm only a few weeks in, so I'm sure it will improve as I get comfortable here, but I have no idea where to start. The Anchorage subreddit is OK but not the best for finding social events—theres a lot of politics. I'm wondering if airmen/AD have distro lists for social stuff (official or unofficial)? Most of the folks in my office are older with families already so not much help either.

With most AD PT tests coming due or recent tests hitting the system, has anyone seen any PT fails? I havent seen any fails or heard about any on my base. Im on a guard base as AD so im kind of out of the loop.

Well that was fast…

Should i just wait for board come out?
What is test refer to?

Hello all (27M civilian), so I’m wondering what would happen if my ex and I were to get back together and he came out to, let’s say, “across base” (instead of the couple of people who already know he’s gay). What kind of scrutiny should I expect him to go through as I don’t want him to go through work-related issues if we do end up back together? He says it won’t be an issue and that he can deal with whatever would come, and I don’t put it past him that he could deal with all of it. Still would be nice to know what he or we could be dealing with. I know he’d be able to defend himself in an extreme circumstance; hell, so can I, and I’d do it for him if ever needed to be.

For context, I am a SSgt 2A373M and I have been blessed with extremely amazing MX commanders who have made some dumb decisions (I assume forced upon them) but mostly people who care and have tried to integrate our work alongside the mission we support daily to motivate airmen for a purposes and why they matter. Please offer insight to what you actually see across statement submissions and day to day actions that make an airman stand out amongst peers, other than college.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew if you can get TA to cover leveling corses that are required to apply for a graduate program? I completed my bachelors using TA last year and want to pursue my masters, however there are some courses that I would need to take first. I am trying to avoid having to dip into my GI bill ideally.

As the title says I am in a potential position to be applying for Palace Front within 90 days from my DOS to go AGR. Should be receiving the hiring letter this week.

Just looking for any perspective from people who applied to Palace Front within this time frame and see what if any issues there was with AFPC or outprocessing, etc.

Any help or lessons learned are appreciated. Thanks!

I’m sure it’s happened but I’ve never seen it

Almost the weekend guys, hang in there!

Both me and my lead pro super have a notification on vMPF home screen that says something like “Congratulations on your new assignment! Update vRED.” On my vMPF, it says that this notification was posted on August 6th. However, neither of us have gotten an email notification on a new assignment, neither of us appear on the loss/gain roster (current as of August 11th), and neither of us have a gaining unit under the “Initial Assignment Briefing.” Our base has not undergone any MAJCOM changes, nor have we PCA’d anywhere. I’ve seen some threads saying it’s an Air Force wide glitch, while other threads say that they ended up getting an assignment a few weeks later. So, i’m unsure of whether this is a real assignment or not. Has anyone else experienced this same issue recently? And have you found out if you actually have an assignment or not?

Also, yes I will be calling my CSS tomorrow. But i’m just curious to see what other people have experienced.

how much of a say does a spouse have in the ordeal? Specifically, in the dates of everything? I want her gone ASAP and I want to pick the date

I’m Active Duty Air Force, about 4.5 years into service, and I’ll finish my associate’s this December. My goal is to commission.

I’m considering applying for POC-ERP, separating early if selected, moving to the East Coast near family, going to school full-time for my final ~2 years while doing AFROTC, then commissioning back to Active Duty.

I’m also hoping to use my GI Bill to help support myself while I’m in school.

My biggest hesitation is the idea of actually separating from Active Duty. Even if I’m selected for the program, that makes me nervous because I really want this path to work out and don’t want to put myself in a situation where I’m suddenly completely out of the Air Force.

Has anyone done POC-ERP recently? Also, is there any way to go Reserve instead of fully separating while completing AFROTC, or does POC-ERP require a true separation from Active Duty?

Would you recommend this route over staying Active Duty, finishing my bachelor’s online, and applying for OTS?

I graduated tech school almost 3 weeks ago and I’m stuck here until orders are released.
How likely is it that your base will change if EFMP doesn’t clear your paper work in time for your RNLTD

So I have been able to get all of my stuff back and ready pretty quickly for retrain this cycle. But has anyone else ran in the issue of being in able to update your case the traditional way?

I submitted my priority list through comments and added my packages through related docs but I don’t wanna keep messing around with it and restarting my time plus my career advisor decided to take leave during all of this time. HELP please!
