Mud Shark posted:No job drop this month and good luck getting assigned something at MEPS these days. My job is to prepare my mind and body to be a glorious warrior Airman and shed enemy blood for the blood god by running a mile and a half at a medium pace. I know it's disgusting to say but I think I actually enjoyed MEPS. I'm 27 so everyone left me alone and the staff got me through really quick. It was also fun and way too easy to gently caress with the out of shape idiots enlisting in the Army. Are most likely or in writing for contract? I don't want to make any assumptions, but I'm guessing you are not in a position to wait for your dream job. Don't let people get you down on that. Last minute your recruiter will mention that if you sign up for 6 years you get A1C (level 3 air force) and preference for job choice. Don't do it. The difference in pay is 3000$ and then it equals out around the 2.5 year mark. If you hate the life that's 2 more years you have to suffer. If you love the life then that is one less shot at cross training or reenlistment bonuses. It is a bad deal both ways. Culturally A1Cs Airmen and Airmen Basics are all treated the same way, like the subhuman trash they are.

They are saying "most likely" so I know nothing is a guarantee, but apparently Weather is sort of in demand right now and they've seen it drop a bit recently and go unclaimed and poo poo back out to the aptitude enlistees at BMT. I'd rather get Cyber Transport cause that's what I really want, but apparently everyone else does too. I have a big advantage because the recruiter I deal with is the new guy in the office, so I'm at the top of his list which according to them means when they do the "draft" for jobs I'm gonna be a first rounder if something I want comes up. I'm aware of the 6 year thing, but depending on the job that I end up with it might not matter. Most of the jobs on my list are year long tech schools which pretty much forces you into 6 anyway from what I understand. It was indirectly suggested by the office commander that since they know I'm on a time crunch and regardless of what my actual list says I might be able to cherry pick the drop to a certain extent. Apparently they've had a ton of people drop out or get DQed lately so they don't want the kids who pull that kind of poo poo to screw my age eligibility.

Unless things have changed there are about 2 jobs you have to sign up for 6 for and PJ is one and I'm pretty sure the other one is also one of the spec-ops jobs. Don't sign the gently caress up for 6 years.

Don't sign the gently caress up for 6 years. Air traffic control also requires a six year contract. I guess it wasn't always that way, but it has been for the last several years. I don't know any controllers with less than ten years in that didn't sign with a six year contract.

Nah I'm not believing it until I see it however given the way they move the jobs from the commander to each individual recruiter it isn't completely out of the question that I could get something I want. That being said, I know I only have 7 months or so of eligibility so I might have to eat the poo poo sandwich sooner rather than later. I'm also not so sure that this guy has been doing the job long enough to know the game except for exactly what is on the paperwork, so that makes it easier to wade through the bullshit. I'm almost positive that if he books me a job at the next drop that I'd be the first guy he successfully recruited.

I waited 7 months for my job, and I do think regret it in the least. Recruiter kept trying to get me to ship early, "Dude, being a cop us awesome!"

Mud Shark posted:I have a big advantage because the recruiter I deal with is Let me tell you a story of love and disappointment in The World's Greatest Air Force. A good friend of mine, whom I had known long before either of us decided we wanted to join this grand community of High Flyers, Fighters, and Winners, told me one day of his success with the Air Force Delayed Entry Program. His exceptional performance on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery led to his recruiters favoring him over the other, lesser beings standing next to him at his DEP Commander's Calls. He was fit enough for special forces, and hid recruiters gave him first pick of the new Air Force Specialty Codes when they dropped. He would join this Air Force as a Combat Photographer. After signing his contract, we bid each-other farewell. His mission: report to Lackland Air Force Base. Four weeks pass, and I receive a call from him. "Yeah, man, they lost my contract and now I'm a cop."

Well either way if I join the brave and honorable warrior airmen police cops at least I can retra... I'm betting there is no retraining option for SF, eh? At the very least I'll try to work an automatic shaving waiver into my contract so I can look the part.

I was able to say friend of the family casually and often throughout most of my career, until we'd get one that wasn't cool with it then we had to Schuck and Jive and do the IG dick dance. Meanwhile I never once pulled the MEO card in Christs own Air Force despite being one kikey motherfucker, I just rolled with it. They got to be anti Semitic and we all got to say friend of the family and did our best to casually make sure we knew amongst Airmen Superiorus which of the domesticated Airmen Negrorectus were dependable and came from hard working stock and had good teeth, and which ones were shiftless no account examples of their breed which needed to go to the MPF and or Command Post or Ops desk at whichever squadron has the token black pilot. My point was if you can't say friend of the family at work your boss is literally hitler.

Just celebrated my buddy putting on Master by going to Rock am Ring and living for five days in an apocalyptic wasteland of vomit and shattered beer bottles. Got front row for Slayer. Everything loving hurts and we took some Polish girls with really tight asses to our tent for s'mores and cock and I think they stole our grill when we passed out. Tomorrow I have to go back to work and do pee tests and EPRs and pretend I give a poo poo about it. I'll totally suck someone at AFPC's gonhorrea riddled devil cock if they just COT me back into Germany. Or start drinking more I really haven't made a firm decision yet.

I got a useless degree at a party school and then got a job sitting around in a self-flying metal tube that delivers me to per diem locations. Hell, I'm not even in charge of people which is p. much the whole reason officers were invented.
