Pretty sure they call that being literally retarded now and although it is not a thing that will get you kicked out (and sometimes gets you promoted) it is not generally a favorable SEI.

I was a Transport system person.

It's so god drat varied that no one can give you an accurate assessment. The best bases you can get, you're working in a comm squadron in a network shop. The worst ones are probably intel, where you literally could be baby sitting circuits all day, or inbetween where you work on a bunch of linux based systems.

You know, back in high school I used to get my rear end kicked because I had a pink mohawk and wanted to drink lovely beer, gently caress nasty punk chicks and listen to musicians that OD'd before I was born. I thought I was just more creative and smarter than my peers and it was the logical choice.

I turned out okay after all that bullshitting myself and eventually grew up and realized I was just full of poo poo and craving attention. I think the rear end-kicking is the missing link here. When you're a dumb teenager and your rear end gets beat a few times it puts the world in perspective. When you're a otherkin transethnic dwarf fairy nowadays adults jump in and prevent any hurt feelings or bullying and raise a generation that needs to be taken behind the toolshed, kicked in the ribs once or twice, handed a Black Flag album and told to shut their loving mouth and realize their angst is the same old bullshit everyone else dealt with, now grow the gently caress up and make normal social relationships you suburban dumbass.

On a related note a buddy and I drove to Cologne, drank a fuckton of beer, bitched about the AF then went to see OFF! and rock the gently caress out to Keith Morris's old rear end. Evidently I'm full of poo poo as an adult too, but that poo poo is fuuun, gently caress these furry airmen.

True story, to ensure PT scores weren't over 50% failing in the OSS at HFLD they had to take away everything in the SNACKO except water and diet soda, and maybe some pretzels. This is a thing that happened. So many fat NCOs. So many.

Broke down last Tuesday and got admitted to inpatient at the local mental hospital. Got released into out patient today and am on anti anxiety and mood balancing meds. I'm still enlisted how will this affect my military career? I don't have a TS clearance so that shouldn't be an issue but I do deploy frequently. My leadership says nothing negative will come from this but I don't know if they are just saying it to make me feel better.

Mental health stuff.

I had a troop that was in the mental hospital for a few days. Nothing negative happened to her afterward, but she was horrible at being a human and was a perpetual victim so she has a slew of other problems that eventually put her out of the military..thank god.

But if she was a good person who worked hard (or at least tried to do a good job), there wouldn't have been any problems. She worked in an office setting and didn't handle sensitive material though. Not sure of the procedures if you handle weapons or secret stuff, but in my experience if you need help you're not going to get slammed for it.

Everyone has to get cleared by mental health before they deploy so if they think there is a reason you shouldn't leave you won't get cleared, but that's no different than someone not being able to leave because of a PT profile. You'll just show not worldwide qualified for awhile, but if you get better that'll be lifted after you're done with treatment or if they think you're not at risk. There are lots of people who see mental health and are on meds that are cleared to deploy.

You should be fine unless you're into secret squirrel stuff, WMDs, etc.

If you have a chronic disqualifying diagnosis (e.g., schizophrenia), you will get an M.E.B. and perhaps a medical discharge. But if it is just depression/anxiety, even with an acute psychotic episode you should be okay in most jobs.

Bottom line, take care of yourself and your family first. The USAF should be low on your list of priorities. Advice I wish I had followed on more than one occasion

Anyone with Tinker experience: what's the food that the commissary prices the best at the Xchange on post? I'm really not looking to compare their prices on everything in their store with say walmart. I don't need anything specific, just some general idea about what kind of foods are gonna def. 100% be cheaper there, or maybe what kind of sales to look for. Trying to save some money on groceries since I live about the same distance from Tinker as I do the Walmart on Macarthur.

I don't remember anything being significantly cheaper on base. If I shopped there it was for convenience on the way home...I lived on the border of Moore near 35 so it wasn't worth the drive to the base specifically to shop.

You're like a friend of mine who got Spang as a first assignment, went to Osan, and then got Honduras as a follow-on.

Now he's at Warner-Robins but he's there on some dick-sucking cakewalk "broadening" tour so I'm sure he'll get Ramstein or something after it.
