thought about going active duty but started a new job and really like it. If I do security forces in the reserves once I am seasoned what are the odds I could volunteer for a deployment?
Just did the online part of the hiring process where you have to put in your information and sign stuff. I have shopped at the store that I am applying to before and get good vibes whenever I am in there so that is a plus. It is also just a part time front of store attendant so i am assuming the job is somewhat chill in that for the most part I will be pushing carts, doing trash and maybe running afew curbsides. Also if I manage to clear the lot if there are orders in the phone can I start to pick them? I used to be a loader at lowes (same thing) and when I cleared the front of carts and did the trash I would just pick orders or do returns and it was for the most part chill.
Got fired in January. Was super burned out and was kind of planning on quitting anyways. When I was getting fired the store manager and ASM said I could re hire in a year and they would take me back if I wanted to come back. Afew months later I called the district hr person I gave them my name and didn't really explain the situation that well and they said that I could not get hired back. I have a plan going forward but going back to home depot is honestly not that bad of a fall back if things don't work out i'm just slightly confused because the manager and asm said wait a year and district hr said no.
I am currently in the process of enlisting after quitting my job on the spot after 6 years and so far the process has really been smooth. After I quit I walked into the recruiters office and we got the ball rolling. Between then and now about 3 months I have been trying to get a job the "normal" way with zero luck and the more I look at it the more the air force should be a decent fit.
Free housing and healthcare.
You learn actual skills. I basically plan on treating the Air Force as college but I am getting paid to go.
The only downside I can see about the Air Force is if you actually can not get in due to medical issues or you have a moral objection to it. Also the more I have been diving into this rabbit hole the more I think that in the future the only decent jobs left will be in military and healthcare.
This has been a bit of an "issue" that I have had crop up. I used to love driving but ever since I got back from meps I have been worrying that murphys law will catch up to me and I will get into a car accident before I ship out. Also there are ALOT of horrible drivers where I live that honestly should probably get their licenses pulled. Has this been an issue for anyone else?
Do 20 years in the air force, get pension.
Do 4 or 8 years in the Air Force kind of treat it like college (but I am getting paid) and get into private security.
Do security forces and then get into Law Enforcement. I have a bunch of family in New York, Florida and LA.
Do 20 years in the Air force and a mix of private security and Law Enforcement.
Also and this i feel really bad about her father passed away afew weeks after she graduated nursing school. Is good way to go about this to not text her and just every few months or so text her something uplifting and reminding her that I really care about her? I'm about to join the Air Force soon so I totally understand the not texting thing I just don't know any nurses personally other than her and am wondering if being a icu nurse is really that draining.
Especially in regards to the middle east ones. Also would it be more realistic that I get stationed to my base in the us first for awhile before going overseas or could they send me overseas right out of tech school?
I am really leaning towards doing this until I ship out. I also like it because I really don't mind working evenings and on weekends.
