I mean, other than living in a middle eastern shithole, and being surrounded by Egyptians, it was great!

Long shot - MAC C-5A Crew, Egypt, 21 Sept 1977
I did an ETSS gig in Egypt flying F-16s for a year. It was wonderful. We were on dip passports, the only other Usaf F-16 pilot in country was my boss, who was 90 minutes away. I owned a compound with 140 local national employees. and 90% of the effort was running an expat bar in Cairo and scuba diving the Red Sea. Recommend

Military Flying
We’ve also had plenty of folks show up with hours and ratings that just couldn’t adapt to the “af way” of doing things. They struggled.

Staying Beyond 20/Taking IDE
It used to be ... that being on the command list and turning down a command spot was considered a 7-day opt and you were done if you didn’t take the bad deal. pretty sure that changed in the 2010-2015 timeframe .... but worth asking the question. although if the game plan is a “good” command spot or retire, it may not matter to you.

Flying a 152 with CAP won’t do shit for your airline apps.

You can always decline a PCS ADSC if it would take you past your current sentence. they can still PCS you .... just no additional Adsc.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
Probably because you don’t see a lot of really elderly folks. What’s the baseline life expectancy in a third world shithole? also fairly hard to linger on with serious underlying conditions (co-morbidities for you epidemiologists at home) in a third world shithole.

Retirement / Separation Considerations
You can start fairly early out .... and the VA will work your stuff through their wickets. But you get zero feedback until the day you turn into a mister. Then poof, it’s 75% through its steps. start early. expect the VA and your base dude that helps put your package together (sts) to fuck it away early and often.
