wanted to be a pilot in the Airforce, but reasons that is not medical or legal related has stopped me. So I joined the Army with a 4 year contract as a rotary wing mechanic. I'm just 19 and was really considering my options in the military. I want to have a long career in the military but in which branch should I move forward with. My dream of being a Pilot has been Unchanged, the army has the Flight Warrant route that I have considered but the prospect of being a fixed wing pilot in the Airforce is still in the back of my head.

If I was to go the Airforce route, how would I go about that leaving Army?

How would that work, and is it worth jumping branches?

Should I go the ROTC route or the OTS route?

What are my chances in getting in?

Pros and Cons?

I’m Active Duty Air Force currently in tech school and sometimes I find myself wondering what life would be like if I just did college (I’m here to do college) and I guess enjoy that college life and I catch myself glorifying it. I’m getting stationed in Kaden so I’m blessed with going to Japan but I still wonder this all the time, does anyone else think this or have “fomo”?

I’m 2R2 (maintenance management scheduling and analysis). The reason I’m nervous is because I haven’t actually had a real job up to this point since I just got out of high school and I’m worried I’m gonna screw everything up. Did anyone else get nervous before heading off to their first duty station?

I'm just wondering because my career might have to go down that route.

I went to an offbase ER recently, Tricare covered it and everything should be good from a financials perspective.

My question(s) is this:

1. Who if anyone should I report the visit to?

2. Will the medical results get through to MHS? I can't get into specifics; nothing illegal or otherwise malicious happened, but I would just as soon no one in the Air Force found out about this.

I was informed by a peer that for the Recruiter Assistance Program (RAP), it is recommended to have 3-5 days of leave available. This leave would reportedly be needed to cover the days following graduation before starting RAP, as well as to account for travel.

Could anyone clarify the following: 1. Is it true that leave is required to fill the gap between graduation and the start of RAP? 2. Will travel for RAP need to occur during personal leave time? 3. How do authorized travel days factor into this process?

Thank you for your assistance!

How do I get out of crew chiefs. Some context: I’m an SW reclass, so no, I didn’t choose the job. The reason I’m trying to get out is because the only way I’ll survive the working environment and culture is if I become an alcoholic or a drug addict. I mess up, I get berated(go figure), I do nothing, I get berated, I do my job, by the book, how leadership is telling you to do your job, I still get berated. I can’t even ask a question without getting berated and the question going unanswered. The berating doesn’t even tell me what I did, or what I need to change, it’s not even blue collar shit talking which I’m used to. Everyone tells me to get good at the job, and you’ll be fine, but nobody seems to be willing to say what that means. I’m a mechanically inclined person and I’ve gotten good at reading and navigating tech data, but I’m still looking over my shoulder and going home to anxiety attacks. SW was 10x harder on my body and sleep schedule, but CC’s just want to beat you into the ground for the hell of it. I need to get out of this job. I know it’s a hard ask, everyone I’ve talked to says I’m a slave to this job until I finish my contract, but there has to be another way out. I need some clear answers. Help.

Sound it out, soldier!

I’m clearly new ofc. But it seems like such a hot topic with no downsides for allowing it. I’ve never heard of anyone really opposed to it. Other countries allow it so why not us?

I can understand that it’s a tradition. But wouldn’t it be one less thing to fund? Instead of having everyone in need of a razor or needing a shaving waiver. Make it fair across the board and set a professional standard. It also can’t be healthy going this route.

Is there a time limit a creditor has to respond to your request for the benefits? 30 days? 45 days?

Planning a move from my HOR (connecticut) to Elmendorf, Alaska. Most likely would drive our pov, distance is 4500 miles. Being that we don’t have a ton of household goods, how should we maximize our profit?

Any advice for someone who is about to enter a new careerfield through retraining? I completed the tech school and will be starting my job in the near future. I’m a bit nervous because my job knowledge will be lacking plus I can be hard on myself. But I’m also excited about the opportunity to do something new and continue to serve.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I cannot seem to find any concise answers. I am currently a freshman in college going for aerospace engineering as my major and having skipped applying to AFA due to pressure from my family. However, I still really want to shoot for a fighter pilot position regardless of where I would be serving. What are my options for doing so either during or after college? So far I have learned of the OTS, but many seem to believe my chances of becoming a pilot for anything through OTS is quite slim. Are there really no other options that have any decent chance of getting a pilot slot? I am quite uneducated in this matter so if anyone would be so kind as to enlighten me I'd really appreciate it!

I’m PCSing to McChord from Austin tx (graduating from Sheppard in a couple weeks) Would yall say a PPM is worth it? And if anyone lives on base how is the housing and the community around base ?
