I heard there's AMCC slots at Spang. It'd be sweet to get one but after all the people who are like 'yeah travis is my first base & also i've been here 8 years. but you'll pcs i'm sure!!!' I'm p prepared for the worst. Also the new promotion system looks insanely good and not backroom-dealy at all.

Rekinom posted:You don't like it at Travis? Because Travis is a pretty good base to me. Oh, no. Travis itself is fine. I just hate my unit. The only happy people I've met around here are from the tanker units so it makes since that you like it.

so i took a mock pt test, and got a 13:56. i've already failed a pt test, so this is that 3 month retest coming up in a week. i'm not a fatty. i've gained a little weight since basic, but i can and do run 1.5 mile runs in less than 13:36 on my own when i just run for fun or exercise. i just don't give a gently caress about being in the air force, and everything is loving gay. however!!! i'm coming up on the end of my first year in the AF this month, so it's not like any of this will go away. i guess what i'm asking is please convince me that the AF was not a horrible life decision that i should regret nearly daily (which is what i do, ever since finishing tech school). i can't post at work but i can read it just fine. which is where i'll be for the next 8 hours (420 shift work erryday) i like my job. i like to help people. it feels good when i help prevent possible delays. it feels good even just doing basic poo poo like connecting people to the chaplain after they close up shop. i even love planes so much it kinda gives me a semi when i hear a kc10 or a c5 rumble through the walls when they take off. i am a patriot, and i've always thought that civil service of some type was extremely my poo poo (i was a volunteer first responder thinking about fire academy/EMT school before enlisting). and yet i just feel constantly beat down and im just loving depressed all the time. idk what to do. my supervisor suggested doing some kind of reblueing type seminar poo poo they offer around base, but i just feel like there's no point to anything. sorry for e/n posting but plz. gbs will laugh at me if i post it there.

personally i think transparency makes the military work better, not worst. at least in my unit, the transparent processes are the only ones that aren't insanely hosed up somehow because thrre's little oversight, or if there is, both ends just try to hide it instead of fix it. im a stupid enlisted though. also i went to mental health today. i just want to feel like a person again

edit: hahaha im loving blind anyway my security clearance is almost definitely getting temporarily suspended because i went to mental health. i'm not surprised exactly but it means i can't be an actual junior controller, and i get to be an actual airman for once and do useless poo poo like pick up cigarette butts. how is that supposed to help me not be a sad little bitch? my job is the only thing i take pride in any more.

Lazy Reservist posted:Who told you your clearance was getting suspended? Did you go to mental health voluntarily, or were you ordered to go? If you went on your own volition, it won't affect your clearance, unless they think you should be institutionalized. The CPTS Superintendent told ours it was what the commander decided and that it would pop up in the system eventually. And I went voluntarily, so I'm equally annoyed that this happened. It's not a major deal since 90% of my job at Travis is unclassified anyway, but like I said I can't actually count as someone working since I need SIPR access to send out reports and process DEPORDS or whatever. Kuroyama posted:Yeah, I went to mental health, and I didn't lose my clearance. And I think we have the same jobs, so you're probably fine. It'd be pretty funny if we had more than one Command Post dork in GiP.

Cojawfee posted:You lost your secret clearance because of mental health? lol they give those out like candy. Yeah they rubberstamped my TSEC but the instant I go to mental health suddenly it has to get temp suspended. aaaaaaaaaaaa vvv It's getting worked. My superintedent is furious that they even mentioned it to anyone before submitting paperwork or at least talking to him, since he's also the security manager. It also can't be my review because I haven't even held my clearance long enough to need a review in the first place. Larry Parrish fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Aug 29, 2014 |

iyaayas01 posted:
We do have a ~~extra-special~~ certification, but it's not PRP-like at all. And it's handled by my operational chain, not the administrative one. Like I said it's just what the SQ superintendent says, so as far as anyone knows it's BS. But they'll probably start the paperwork on Tuesday, since it's apparently what Mental Health suggested.
