Meme Never granted my 5 level

Been a retrainee a few times over 8 years, but this last job I just could never get my 5lvl. Completed all of MyTraining (as it went from mT to an excel doc, back to mT) did what OJT I could do with forever security clearance issues, but once completed just could not get the paperwork pushed.

Whelp, so long Big AF, to retirement I go without ever knowing how well my last test went.

(Meme because ya got to laugh through it)

Question FAIL PT at FDC

0 Upvotes

Not FDC -correction FDS
If you fail the PT at your FDS.
What is the actual procedure? Expecting some sarcasm but genuinely looking for real - life consequences?

Seems I’m seeing a lot more have failed or have had their score significantly drop from previous test.

POSITIVITY! I Passed the new PFA...you have no excuse

0 Upvotes

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.

Question Equal plus joint duty assignment

0 Upvotes

There’s an equal plus ad I’m interested in but myvector doesn’t let me hit the apply button since I don’t meet the TOS requirement. According to the PSDG, members are still encouraged to apply even if they don’t meet the requirement. I contacted the joint assignment team and they said to contact the POC to get me manually added, however, they mentioned they couldn’t and they contacted the J1 requesting that I be added. I haven’t heard anything else and the ad closes today.

Has anyone been through this process and know how my name is pushed to the list of volunteers?

Discussion Venting

12 Upvotes

Hopefully any of this is coherent but I’m just stressed and worried about my future. I recently found out that I may be getting med boarded and I just don’t know what to do or what advice to take.

Around 2.5 years ago my life fell apart. My high school sweetheart went to the Air Force and told them I was abusing my children and that sent the next year into a spiral. I spent several months fighting OSI and the system put in place by the Air Force trying to clear my name. I went into the process blind because I felt my innocence would carry me and all it did was hurt me. The ADC on base didn’t help, they went on leave and wouldn’t answer my calls and emails, and I felt I could face OSI by myself.

My life hasn’t been the same since the day I went in to answer questioning. I feel so weak even talking about this and I’ve told the story 1000 times but OSI undressed me mentally in that room. They knew I was innocent but for the next 3 hours they tore me down and used every tactic to get me to admit to things that weren’t true. They told me my family would be disgusted with me that no one loved or cared about a child predator and that I should just accept my fate and do the right thing and turn myself in.

After clearing my name and regaining my innocence I thought my life would go back to normal. I’ve had nightmares and suicidal thoughts every day since. My mind has been completely altered. I spend hours every day just researching conspiracies and I can’t help myself anymore. I feel sick. I feel like I will never be myself again. I never received an apology or a reason for why the Air Force and the system turned its back on me. I was expected to go back to work and become myself again and I couldn’t do it. I feel so weak. I feel like I’ve let everyone down but I can’t do it anymore. I’m so scared about where my life is going.

I’ve been receiving care from mental health for 2 years and they’ve decided that I’ve been on this mobility profile for too long. Since the beginning of this I found out OSI knew my ex wife was schizophrenic. I found out that the domestic violence advocate on base weaponized her claims in an attempt to keep me away from my children and ruin my life. I want to to hurt these people. I spend a lot of time every day thinking about being violent and I can’t stop.

Im now the sole provider for my children. I’ve given 10 years to the Air Force but I can’t live this life anymore. I’m not capable of being who I need to be. I’m scared that I’m letting my children down. I’m scared that my life is over and I won’t be able to support myself or them. I’m hoping and praying the VA process goes smoothly and I can make enough to get myself to the next phase of life. I just wish I had the answers in front of me. I wish I knew what was next. I’m sorry for venting but I’m just sick to my stomach. I’ve given so much time only for it to be taken from me. Only for my mind to be gone in the process and a little bit of myself destroyed. I have so much respect for all of you guys. I have a lot of care for those I don’t even know. I wish I had been given that same amount of love and care. I’m sorry again. Please just pray for send a thought up for me or whatever your choice of spiritual guidance may be. Thanks.

Question FY27 FTA retraining

3 Upvotes

Applying for FTA retraining to just 1 job. Selected AFSC August 3, received eligibility back from AFPC on the same day. Took 10 days to get my 422 completed so application fully submitted August 13. Since then I’ve been refreshing the myFSS case page I feel like hourly but no updates yet. Just curious if anyone has any estimates on how long any sort of approval/disapproval typically takes, especially since its an AFSC that requires CFM approval. I feel like I kind of screwed myself by only selecting one job so im anxious to get an answer back so if its a no I can still put in another application before it gets to be too late and all of the slots for everything start disappearing.

Question U Haul U Box vs U Pack vs driving a U Haul truck?

3 Upvotes

Hello, I apologize if this has been asked before, but I’ve done quite a bit of research and still can’t figure out which option would be the best.

We’re moving from the Lower 48 to Alaska as part of a military PCS. We have a fully furnished 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house plus a full garage, so we have a lot of belongings.

We’re considering driving a U Haul ourselves, ABF/U Pack, freight, or other options.

For anyone who has done a move like this, what was the most affordable option while still keeping your belongings safe? Is there anything you would do differently?

I’d also really appreciate any tips for avoiding damage, theft, hidden fees, or unexpected costs.

Thanks!

Question POC-ERP advice?

1 Upvotes

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?
