Also, why lower the score? Was 36 really that hard to get, because I saw a lot of dumb motherfuckers make it through

shyduck posted:why did they do this Recent article (AF Times maybe) says that only 1 out of 5 people who walk into a recruiter's office are fit for service, largely due to people being fat as gently caress. They have to keep the pipeline full of fresh bodies cause it doesn't make sense to scale down BMT and tech school, so if today's kids are fat loving scumbags you gotta make the pool a bit bigger to keep the bodies flowing. The age thing makes sense since most of the AF jobs are not all that physical, but the score requirement going down seems pretty dumb. Seeing the Army guys at MEPS and knowing what their low watermark for testing is, a 31 probably means that you are basically retarded. EDIT: when I tested less than a month ago, the requirement was a 50, not a 36. It's an even bigger drop.

Just finishing off the last days of my TDY to Nelli's. I've been drunk for 80% of my off time and 20% of my work time. Surprisingly enough, no major incidences or dropped lines. But I'm sure in 6 weeks we'll all get briefings on GTC card purchases because I know A1C Cornfed fed his GTC into the Little Darlings ATM.

CaptainStag posted:You could be back at Minot, is it really that bad? I know having overbearing leadership and an obnoxious curfew sucks, but there's gotta be something positive about where you are. No, I actually love this place. Mostly I'm just an alcoholic (due to Minot). The database being down didn't let me post that I'm now taking medication for the next six months that won't let me drink. So I'm a bit upset about that, but seriously I would rather gargle my liquid oxygen and die a horrific death then go back to North Dakota. That being said I just had a CC call where he read through each line of a climate survey and told us how all how we were wrong about our answers. edit: really though, this place is so awesome that I have trouble comprehending how I managed to live five years of my life in Minot without trying to kill myself. Korea is by no means ideal, but it's such a massive improvement that I'm starting to think it should be criminal to sentence anyone to Minot. smertrioslol fucked around with this message at 07:56 on Jun 26, 2014 |

Casimir Radon posted:I see a story about max enlistment age being raised, but nothing about the AFQT requirements being lowered. I read it on af.mil but now that I'm trying to go back to the article it says it's no longer available. Someone might have just hosed up by adding that on there or maybe that was a change for the Air Guard. I'll see if I can find a source to post.

We didn't put this much investment into you to let it go to waste.

I got out a few months after making staff on my first try but well before I could sew on, and the amount of butthurt from several people at my decision was the one of the greatest feelings of my life.

Those people at home aren't your family, THIS IS YOUR FAMILY. Learn to love the uniform. If your priorities are different from your boss's, YOU HAVE THE WRONG PRIORITIES. Forget about anything outside these walls. Actual words from a commander last week.

Sometimes I feel cheated that I don't get to experience a CC call with that level of ridiculousness. It's like I'm missing out on a whole different AF experience that I've heard about but have never seen.

That's a failing grade. I've never read a PDG and passed it. This is retard mode stuff.

Lol, our career field had a 9% selection rate. Staff numbers should be hilarious. We just got a new commander and the dude lip smacks a bunch when he talks. If it keeps up I'm gonna start looking forward to commander's calls.

My studying for course 3 consisted of leaving my books in the bathroom and glancing over them once in a while pooping. Took the first test 2 weeks later and passed. They ended up dropping the pass rate on the test to the high 60s because stupid people kept failing.

What's so loving great about your family? gently caress your family. I'd murder your family, and everyone they ever loved for that matter.. Ritualistically for that matter, all to fly F-22's or F-15's for a living. I'm not kidding. That loving newborn first born son of yours? I'd drink the blood of it's forebears going back to at least the time of Negro Jazz and Heroin being mainstream right out of a cup fashioned from your Pop-Pops mishappen skull. I'd do it while wearing a cod piece I fashioned from freshly harvested face and 550 cord, while ritualistically asking mannequins covered in your parents skin if they were ready to pull chocks.. All just to fly one of those planes for a living. gently caress you and your whole gay family if they raised such a weak cliff baby that you wouldn't do the same to fly fighters. If there were an oven to put people like you into I swear to god I'd rush the order on Pizza Ala Parrish next week you loving America hating traitorous piece of subhuman poo poo. "DNP Ranked 6th of the 5 officers available for comparison. Fit for freedom only if made through work." Would literally be a stamp I kept in my office for OPR's and foreheads of unworthy foreskins such as you who think anything is as wonderful as being literally inside a Raptor. I'd spit on you but ethically I can't find a way to justify adding to the already oversized human shaped pile of poo poo you are by even one well hocked gently caress you loogie. You make me sick. You disgust me. You make me wish life had 341's to pull. Oh god. I'm going into the light guys. Everything is bright and warm and smells like burnt toast. I'm so happy here. It's all okay guys.

Think about that. You have a group composed exclusively of doctors who have been through med school, residency, etc.--regularly working 80+ hrs/wk for well under their market value, and then tell them to forget about their families.  Fortunately, she isn't my commander; I just had to sit through her extremely bizarre talk.Later that week, I got to sit through the usual EO, workplace bullying, customer service, and other b.s. The cultural diversity talk from the goofy O-5 was the best. She wasn't trying to be funny, but I can still get a laugh from my colleagues by saying, "Transculturally speaking, we must remain empathetic to synergize our diversity into a new paradigm." Do they teach this poo poo in AWC or something?

7 years of AF, including IRR, and I finally get to sew on SrA. Andddddd it's not backdated. Putting on staff at 15 years is gonna be nice. e:Includes the past year of "You need to order your 5 level CDC's. Oh, you have a 5 level? Why aren't you a SrA? Oh, well, I'll put in the paperwork. Do you have your 5 level? Let's get you trained to 5 level. Can you log in to TBA and print out tasks for your 5 level? Oh, why aren't you a SrA then? Okay, well let's knock out your 5 level so you can put on SrA." The guard is disorganized as gently caress. And in other news, we now have a 30 something year tech sgt, a 24 year SrA, and a 15 year SrA. At least if people keep being fuckups I'll maybe make tech one day wooh
