Army uses current rank and (P) which means promotable. AF it's normally next rank + (S), which means that you are an insufferable loving douche who gets a hard on by telling everyone you got promoted. On an related/unrelated note. The older I get, the more I realize that military dick measuring instruments like rank, medals, AFSC's, job titles, etc don't loving matter in life in the slightest. Like if someone is a general, fighter pilot, or SF operator, then it's like "cool story bro" and you go on with your day. I just can't relate at all to the type of person who thinks that this poo poo is important in the least. I'm pretty much a civilian at this point, but without the freedom.

I've decided to get out and trying to figure out my terminal. With what I have now and what I'll earn this year, I'll have 79 upon my DOS. I get out at the end of January 2016 and am hoping to start terminal in November. October first of this year lowers the amount of leave you can have to 60. Does this mean I need to get down to 50 days in October then gain 10 between then and my DOS to get 60?

i don't know why you'd want to constantly flex your rank and drone on about The Chain Of Command in the command post career field where it's fairly common to have a SrA be the shift supervisor for some random cross-trainee TSgt and talk to group commanders on a daily basis, but people do it and it's loving insanely annoying.

The way I've understood it is that you have to have 60 days or less on October 1st, and that you can accumulate as many days as you want after that until the next fiscal year starts, then it has to be back at 60.

Rank is a big part of why military medical is as screwed up as it is. The only people who care about it are the career nurses--who inevitably ruin every unit they touch once they have enough rank to make life miserable beyond just sucking at patient care--and the support officers who make and enforce horribly restrictive templates and systems that kill the flexibility you need to actually do your job. Personally, I've managed to dodge every promotion and award ceremony since I was first sworn in. I also skipped my high school, college, and med school graduations. I usually took a vacation instead. I think I like my new boss. I had a big academic presentation a couple of weeks ago and was wearing scrubs + white coat. He came up to me two minutes before it started and told me I was getting a medal from the commander. I asked him whether I should do the usual "shake, take, salute" since I wasn't in a proper uniform, and he just shrugged and said, "Whatever...we're medical...just worry about the presentation." The medal/citation just went into the same cardboard box in the closet as all my other AF crap. Dominoes posted:Ranks's important, because it correlates with pay. This right here. For medical, I wish we'd just ditch rank and have an equivalent to GS pay. I never realized what a sweet gig that was on our side. A GS physician gets a much better retirement pension since it's based on salary. (They get a normal salary while AD gets rank + a weird and shifting bonus system to make pay remotely comparable to civilian docs.) I'm totally ditching the uniform as soon as I find one of those coveted spots. Better gov money plus moonlighting cash? Yes, please.

I've no poo poo, seen a guy with CTI2(S) in his name. Followed by 6 "assistant" collateral duties each on a new line in his sig block. Warrant had a field day with that guy when he finally replied to something she sent. His six year goal is to be LPO. If it takes you six years you're doing some poo poo wrong imo

Whats the longest one of you has gone without doing any real, actual, work? Yesterday I spent 15 minutes making a class and then spent the rest of the day spacing out at my computer staring at some TO and when I felt like I was there too long I'd go to our garage, grab a piece of equipment and open it up, then stare at it for 30 minutes thinking about what I should watch on Netflix when I get home. Is there a way I can blackout for 18 months until I get to a new shop?

I've spaced out for pretty much an entire day before. I'll make sure to pepper in some chores or whatnot to have something to show for it though. Right now there's a bunch of added tasks they want me to do despite having my 7 level, and no big projects going on, so it's been happening more than usual. I honestly prefer having a project because pretending to read PDFs all day and making it look convincing is a lot harder work than actually doing something.

An added complication is that our new branch chief was all pissy about the pathway from the office he sits in being congested when it passes through our shop. So he redid the layout of our furniture so we've suddenly got less space and privacy, it's glorious. Originally my old supervisor was going to get the job but somebody cried favoritism, they put it to a board, and now the guy who once came storming out of his office to demand we "TURN OFF THAT friend of the family MUSIC!" when were listening to the Beastie Boys, has the job. EDIT: We had a civilian employee come over from PMEL to replace one of the guys from that office who had retired. A week or two sitting with this guy and he was making plans to go back to PMEL. They finally managed to fill the position again 9 months later, and finding somewhere else to put him was pretty high on the agenda.

Tomorrow we're supposed to do training but knowing my shop there's like a 50-70% chance it'll get put on the backburner for some bullshit reason and that'll free me up to refill SCBA bottles. This is great because I get to run around base by myself, chill at the fire station looking at my phone for an hour, then go to our equipment warehouse and listen to music on the stereo while I stretch out checking out SCBA gear and putting it away.

PMEL is a sweet job. It's easy, there's always work to do (but gently caress torque wrenches), and no one fucks with us. I'll probably do this when I get out, 4 years of AF training is enough to get picked up by any company that does calibration stuff. vulturesrow posted:The red velvet oreos are terrible. Well gently caress, I already bought two packs to use as the base of the next pies. I'm sure they can't be too bad with half a cup of butter mixed in.

I had a car wreck when I was in and spent like 3 -4 weeks on a double dose of high test narc pain killers every 4 hours. The dumb thing is instead of sending me on convalescence for 2 months while I was useless and couldn't move my arm, they said "eh, gently caress it, he can work a desk". I basically sat in a chair drooling on myself. Every once in awhile some personnel flunky who short strawed the week and had to work our squadron desk would nudge me to make sure I was still breathing.
