I think the exact thing we should have is just one last opportunity for them to nickel and dime you for some uniform items at the exchange for some ceremony you don't give a flying fiddler's gently caress about

You could always ask about getting an old school "drum out" ceremony. That'd be cool as poo poo to see.

Comically Im picking up my DD214 tomorrow, and they put me on duty for the day after when policy is you should be taken off the watchbill. "Too few bodies." Not my problem, but I cant help but laugh. Wouldnt want someone else to get hosed over on Christmas Eve though, karma and all that jazz I guess.

No, all that matters is your date of sep. Doesn't matter if you're on terminal, if you've got your 214 in hand a few days early, or what a local policy is. They can and HAVE delayed a DOS for punishment because somebody hosed up thinking they were free when they weren't

I got my dd214 the day before I started terminal. I wasn't expected to come back for any reason to my command but I was still technically on their roster and subject to UCMJ

I was sent home the 2nd week of June but didn't get my dd214 until the first week of August.
Work wouldn't take me back without it so I had to eat up my savings.

Taking it like a champ. At the muster I saw a good number of people that could have taken this watch and I could have been taken off of the watch bill but I guess they don't want to put people on watch. Terminal is tomorrow so lol.

idk I did a PFT like 3 days before my EAS just to appease my command. I know everyone here talks about all their insubordination but sometimes it's best to just bend over and take it and not ruffle feathers (especially of those that can gently caress you)

And you're not screwing anyone over not that most care

Navy still dicking me over about becoming a CTN and the AF started cold calling me to do the same job with the same training in the air national guard. The Navy still can't get its dick out of its hand to call me back after three months and the AF is literally faxing me paperwork. poo poo probably still sucks, but the training is what's valuable. Can't wait to go into the CC office next month and tell them to gently caress themselves from behind.

Thats so goddamn weird. It was literally the smoothest thing I've ever done in this hosed up military. Dropped a package, left a few months later for JCAC. No waiting. Graduated, went to duty station. Now I'm 99% heading to Maryland for 6 months of training.

Every fax I've been forced to send in the last 6 years has been scanned to pdf and uploaded to a free fax website that prints out advertising on a cover page. So they get ads with my fax.

All the services recruiting offices used faxes extensively ten years ago or so. Every time I would project an applicant to go to MEPS I would have to fax his entire package to both my OpsO and to MEPS. We killed more trees there than anywhere I've ever worked.

Well, the AF is literally (but unofficially) recalling people right now because they fired five years worth of people last year, iirc.

I don't know if what's going on there is what I think it is, but I hope that's ice and isn't an egg in some whiskey. Related, my girlfriend got me a bottle of Lagavulin for Christmas.

I squinted pretty hard when he asked for a fax number. I'm going to try to leave a coffee ring on one of the papers to see if he realizes how stupid this is.

The best part is you are faxing a shitload of PII and faxes are hilariously insecure. Congrats on the career move and also identity theft. Although if you were in OPM the Chinese have already sold all your poo poo to Russian criminals so it's all a wash either way.

I was in OPM, so gently caress it. I still haven't told my family their socials are going to end up on the darknet eventually. Them having my latest PHA and some medical files are the least of my concerns now since they already have my SF-86 and fingerprints.

The career move is a continuation of my lack of clear guidance in a career. This community is terrible for making opportunities or paths clear and my mentor disappeared two years so I'm just going off the cuff on what'll get me where I need to go.

Tru tru. I guess the real sad part is you're trying to get in the cyber security style poo poo and they're not even using something vaguely secure.
