Deployment Talk: 1:1 ratio for the past year. Deployed for 70 days, then home for 70 days, then right back out again for another 70, and repeat. Being home also means that you can go dick around in Alaska for a month or hang in the Pacific for a week. But I'm a pilot and I'm not complaining because we never complain.

Godholio posted:Yeah it was great. But it disappeared a few years ago. Keep in mind that being not-deployed doesn't mean you're home. You've still got TDYs and training to go through, which might put you in rear end in a top hat, AZ for a few weeks here, Nellis for a few weeks there, then 8 weeks in Alabama, etc. My favorite is how during the four months prior to deployment (spin-up) we weren't allowed to take leave. Then four or five months deployed, then an immediate three week TDY followed by seven months in a training program that doesn't allow leave. Graduate, then "You're a month behind your crew in spin-up." Deploy for five months, then ANOTHER no-leave training program (over 270 days long), then back into spin-up. Etc. This is a cautionary tale. You flood your leadership's email inboxes with leave requests, and MAKE them deny it. Then, you document very single denial, and file an IG complaint. Bam, leave approved. Sure you get on leadership's bad side, but if looking good to the people in charge is that important to you, then you can only blame yourself from that point on.

While I agree and told the same to my guys, it wouldn't have helped me during those two years. We were considered TDY to the FTU for upgrade training and complaints about their leave policy didn't change anything. Same results as when the AF forced everyone to sign new ADSCs because they had screwed up a few years earlier.

I'd join back in as an officer in a heart beat if there were a way. Or enlisted if I started no lower than E-5. I give no fucks what AFSC either. I guarantee my next 4-6 years would own like a mother compared to yours if I could only do it all over again with the knowledge I have today. poo poo if any of you retards really is thinking about joining I feel like we need our yearly break talk session on so's and donts for having agoid USAF time, I believe current AD sentiment is don't join. I can cheer lead for team blue for some fields and situations though.
