      WTF? (**NSFW**)

      I like my air and aerial achievement medals.   Those matter to me.  Also, my unit got a V for the beginning of OIF.  Im proud of that.  The others, except for the AFCAM, are not important to me.

      Terramaster F4-423 with 4 x 4TB harddrives.  The user interface is solid but I am have some issues getting it set up on my network.  Initially it worked but knocked my network printer offline.  My son is doing all his end of year AP exams and project and I have been traveling like crazy for work so I have not had a chance to sit down and sort the IP addresses and ports.

      WTF? (**NSFW**)

      Lol, we had an AD patch on loan for a deployment and the dude got himself a Bronze Star for showing up...total joke.  I've read AAR's that warranted DFC's (or higher), but we're never received for whatever reason.  I remember when our base got an AD WG/CC, and the dude REALLY cared about medals.  Apparently, he wasn't happy with the fact that, as a Major, I had two MSM's, but no AFCM.  Guess what I got within a few months...  One of the reasons I had a second MSM's is becuase we had a staff weenie get sent down to be an OG (box checking...now a 1 star), who was passed over on his first O-6 board due in part becuase he lacked an MSM...or so his bro network told him.  Guess what the squadron got a few months later....   Our medals are a fucking joke, which is why I've never cared for them.  When we expect that you get X medal as a Lt and X medal as Capt, etc.... we're fucked.  Hell, I'm missing an Air Medal that I never bothered to track down because I didn't care to waste my time.  If you have a SS, AFC, MOH...I'll raise an eyebrow.  Even then, I know there are plenty of actions that probably warranted those medals, that were never recognized.

      No Luck with Guard -- Should I go AD? Pros and Cons?

      By O Face · Posted

      Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a year and a half of rushing is just getting started. I know it seems like an eternity, while in your 20’s, but if you’re a gov employee, as you stated, then you certainly should understand the glacial pace the system moves in. Have you interviewed anywhere more than once?  You do realize that guard units typically select pilots only once per year?  So in a year and a half you haven’t even been through the cycle more than once.  Other than that, the advice offered to all the others on similar threads still holds true: -Widen your net (Heavies, Reserves, USAF, USN, USMC) -Enlist in the unit -Practice your interview skills -Get more flt time -Polish up your resume -Network
