Dealing with homesickness

I’m a new airman I got to my first duty station a couple weeks ago my afsc is 3PO31 but I was able to go home for like 10 days before coming here but I was already gone for 6 months prior to that which I know isnt anything but the fourth was yesterday and it’s usually my favorite holiday I really didn’t do anything. I think the part that sucks is idk when I’m gonna be able to go home again and it just feels very lonely here rn basically being brand new none of my friends from tech got this base. What advice do you guys have to keep the motivation and deal with being away from home

Drinking in the Squadron w/Leadership

On Fridays, I NEVER took the opportunity to have a drink in the squadron with leadership or other members. Everyone returned to work that Monday where Airman Gossip tells you that the Chief, DO, or CC was hammered last Friday. During a drunken rant, one or all three personnel told certain individuals how they really felt about them. Leadership didn't hold back any punches either. It was a drunken roast.

This is exactly why I fill my kidneys with Don Julio in the privacy of my own home or surrounded by my real friends. The only person I talk shit to is that asshole in my bathroom mirror 🪞 who likes to pick fights with me.

Barksdale 4th of July MMA Fights

Only shitty thing is all the seats closest to the ring are reserved for officers and their families. All the enlisted get the bleachers.

Question for Warrant Officers

I am not from the cyber or comm AFSC but after reading the requirements for warrant officers one of the available AFSC shreds I do have extensive experience in. If I was to get selected is there any sort of tech school after warrant officer school? I assumed they may not send you to tech school since you already are suppose to have experience in that career field. Also how do warrant officers fit within the unit? For example what would be your role compared to a SNCO or what type of duty titles would you hold?

So like.. Who tf does my waist tape now? The squadron or the FAC? Or a mix?

I diagnostic test in August and no one seems to know the answer. Under the new rules the "must have a tape within 5 days of the test" doesn't apply.

So do they tape and get my height at the test now or do they take my tape score in body comp (that I got last year on my BDay) and just to the height like they've done for the past couple of years?

Nurse to Pilot

Without getting into a ton of specifics, my husband is a nurse. He is wanting to apply to become a pilot. So far, everything is going well and freakishly lining up for us. However, he signed a bonus that was offered for his field. Release from his career field and the bonus are the main hiccups. His current field is well staffed, which it hasn’t been for years.

My question is: if he changes careers to a more needed job, is it likely DFAS(?) will make us pay back the bonus. Or, is it possible they’ll release us from it? Either way, this is something he really wants to do. I’m just trying to mentally prepare.
