    Bottle for the bar

    in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves

    I'm attending an interview and a social event.  I was thinking it was more appropriate to drop my bottle at the social event rather than the interview, but when I saw this thread pop up I figured this would be a good sanity check to make sure that that's the best place to hand it off?  

    Great commentary in here, thanks dudes.  

    Yes, bring the bottle to the social event and make sure your name is on it in some way. Like @Guardian stated, if you can add some personal flare to it then all the better. Best of luck!

    Does the type/quality of bottle matter? Like does it need to be some fancy whiskey or will some mediocre tequila do?

    It absolutely matters, even if they say it doesn’t. If they’re inviting you to interview they are giving you a chance to land your dream job (if that’s what this is to you). Getting a nice bottle is an easy way to show how much it means to you and they do notice it. The extra money you spend will be worth it when you get a “nice bottle, man” comment versus getting roasted for bringing something bottom shelf. If you want the job, put yourself in the best position to land it.

    Did you have January dates before the whole recruiter thing happened or did you just drop those? I'm currently waiting on dates myself and know some bro's who just got the March class so I was thinking January was full 

    PTO from Civilian Job

    in Air National Guard / Air Force Reserves

    Hi all, I tried to find info on another thread about this but couldn’t find what I was looking for. I was lucky enough to be picked up by a Guard unit and have been going through the post-hire process to include MEPS, FC1, and going to drill each month before training. I was hired out of state and have been taking PTO from my civilian job in order to attend these things. Am I required to take PTO from my civilian job if I am fulfilling a military related obligation? After a couple google searches I found some info on it but am not sure how it would affect someone in the Guard let alone someone enlisted for the purpose of commissioning. I’ve been burning through quite a bit of PTO, which is worth it to me, but it would be great to know if I can avoid doing so. Any info is appreciated, thanks!

    This might be a goofy question but hopefully I can get it answered here to avoid bothering the POC with it. For Fresno's app it says the package must be consolidated into a 'PDF file less than 5mb in size'. Anyone know if this is megabytes (MB) or megabits (Mb)? Not trying to have my app not make it through by missing a small detail like that.

    That's interesting/hilarious since I applied to them a year ago, got the "Received" response, and never heard again either way. 🤷‍♂️

    Yeah definitely an interesting timeline for that one. They were super delayed due to covid, ops tempo, etc. and pretty sure they only reached out to those selected for zoom interviews, and that was 9 months post deadline

    For those that did a zoom interview with the 121 FS in DC, anyone hear anything since or have an idea of when we should expect to hear regarding the next round? 

    I asked and was told we’d hear back after 2 weeks. Tomorrow is 2 weeks to the date so I’d say off chance we hear back tomorrow but I’m expecting early next week. Cheers and good luck!

    I got nothing back from them since my application in February, until Wednesday and today. No first round. It seems like others may have already had some sort of interview?

    I read that as the application itself was the first round, video interview will be the second round, and so on
