A BAD progression of pushes is not in and of itself a promotion killer, but it certainly affects a mid-grade record. There certainly is a secret decoder ring for all of this: Strats: looking for Strats in your rank, or as you get higher, Strats in your sq/cc title, etc opr push lines: a consistent message of school, sq/CC, and staff pushes is part of the equation. Being pushed for a majcom or NAF staff is not a good thing. HAF is 70% of us. JT staff is top tier. PRF: it needs to match the OPR with those pushes. The verbiage of definitely promote is a message. The check box of definitely promote is obviously the strongest message a strat amongst board eligibles in PRF is also a message.

only winning move is to not play! good luck to those who still put up with the AF/AFPC shenanigans!

If you or your spouse sew (my wife is a quilter), don’t use a US machine on 50hz. It’ll jack up the timing, even with a transformer. Check the label to make sure it’s 50/60hz before plugging it in.

PCS’d out of Mildenhall 2 years ago. Best assignment of my career! “2” on AFsock’s recommendations. Either store or sell your nice vehicles and buy a beater! The side roads are brutal because they are built on farm/drained marshlands. I bought a reliable 7 year old car for $2K and sold it for the same when I left. If you’re a 135 guy you’ll be busy, but the missions are challenging and rewarding and mostly priority 1 and 2. Over my 4 years I did 4 “deployments” to locations where your family will want to come where you’ll be supporting French ops in AFRICOM. Enjoy! I’d swap places with you in a heartbeat!

Sounds like you kind of wanted to tho
