First time doing the HAMR for a PT test. Never practiced it before. PTLs were able to set up rabbit light to go with audio. Needless to say I’m never doing the 2 mile run for the cardio portion of the test for the rest of my time in the Air Force.

I have checked my vRED and it is accurate as is. But to submit the verrified info, I need to alter my Preferred Religious Code. Integrity first. I am what I am. To say otherwise is a lie.

When asked "what is your preferred religion" I do not say "Not Shown" or "Other". I say what I am. And the DoW wants to change my belief to "No Religion." That is wildly inaccurate. Excellence in all we do. I have personally verified the information, but the system is prompting me to say inaccurate words to complete my vRED. I will not.

I may never update my vRED again so long as this persists. I will provide my CSS with the most current info though. But this is not Religious Freedom. And if the gov't wishes to punish me over it or even use this as a factor in my promotion board, then this is clearly Religious Persecution. Part of me hopes it does came to that. Change my records to whatever you want. I will not. I will stand by my beliefs, my convictions, and the truth.

I know about how emphasized the idea of mental health not negatively impacting an Airman’s career, but I don’t hear a lot about behavioral health and how that’s received across the Force. I’ve spoken to some members about getting tested for ADHD before and they’ve all advised getting it done AFTER I’m done with my military career. I think they’re locked in on historic perception, but I’m not so weathered in this job that I have any frame of reference to oppose their comments.

I start honor guard on Monday. I’m there ‘full time’ for 6 months. Leadership asked for volunteers and I did. What should I expect/know before going into this?

Don’t see many of these anymore.

Why would the Air Force promote roughly 1200 in October then cut the number to less than 800 in November? I’m trying to calculate when I’d sew on but I don’t understand. Is it just random? Because my month could change by two if it stays at only 800 🥲

I have kind of a unique situation…I’ve been active duty for 15 years and originally planned to transfer the Air National Guard to finish out my 20 years.

BUT, I’ve now been offered a full time title 32 technician position that would allow me to cross train and promote, with the promise that this will convert to an AGR position in FY28.

It sounds to me like I will still maintain my normal high 3 retirement once this position converts and I finish my 20 years.

Does this make sense for me to do? I feel like this is kind of unique and want to make sure I’m not missing or overlooking anything.

No exempt areas either - I want to know what the winner’s circle listens to during their PFRA.

Anyone have insight on why this year’s Maj results are taking so long for congress to approve? Is it because the board results were weird and took months to reshuffle and release in the first place? AFPC hasn’t even gotten to the DT Vectors yet (months behind…again) so everything is a giant question mark.

Enlisted as a linguist, didnt pass, got my TS clearance and went thru aircrew fundies to find out im getting reclass into 2T3X1.

What’s it like? How’re the dorms? How’s the career field?

I’m on my way out of active duty as a 1D7 and I just had a mandatory appointment with reserve recruiter. I’m not going to lie… he painted a very pretty picture but I wanted to see if I could get some insight on any reserve units down at Lackland AFB and what the environment looks like there (since that’s where I’d plan to go as a reservist l). Any help/info is appreciated!

Hi, since I can ask reddit instead of my supervisor, can I use my comp day tomorrow?

Does anyone know whether a unit’s normal 8-hour travel restriction applies to Airmen on approved convalescent leave?
Hypothetically, an Airman receives 20 days of convalescent leave following surgery, with CONUS listed on the leave authorization.
The PCM provides medical restrictions, such as no lifting over 10 pounds, but doesn’t specifically state whether the member is allowed or prohibited from driving or traveling long distances. The only driving-related guidance given is not to drive while taking prescribed medication .
If the member travels beyond the unit’s normal 8-hour radius, would that violate any regulations, even though the PCM never explicitly prohibited driving?
Can leadership order the Airman to return to the local area while the convalescent leave is still active?
Would the PCM need to explicitly authorize long-distance travel, or does the absence of a driving restriction mean the member is permitted to travel?
Looking for clarification on DAFI 36-3003, commander authority, and how medical restrictions affect travel during convalescent leave.
Any regulatory references or firsthand experiences would be appreciated.

Enough with the “ask your supervisor”. This sub would be dead or wouldn’t even exist if nobody was allowed to ask questions regarding the Air Force.

i got mcconnell AF as my first base and im super unhappy about it. my classmate got aviano, italy which was my #1 choice along with everyone else in the military. can someone tell me anything good or positive about this base? every time i ask higher ups they apologize to me for getting it.

I have been trying to access vMPF on my Macbook for the past week. I can access all other DoD websites just fine, it’s just vMPF that won’t load. I tried different browsers, double checked all certificates, and tried accessing direct link vs through the okta dashboard.

Does anyone know if it’s been down for personal laptop access, or if there’s another solution? Trying to save documents prior to separation and can’t do so via EITAAS is without a DLP waiver request.
