It’d be convenient for our junior enlisted to live on base and not have to drop money on a car to commute to work, on top of that it’d be nice to get gas stipends for working on Schriever

So in the Army, we have a fuel spout/nozzle that everybody calls the “donkey dick” because, well… the thing lowkey looks like a HUGE HOG lmao.

Recently I ran into a few Navy veterans and found out they also had something they called a “donkey dick,” except theirs apparently wasn’t a fuel spout it was some kind of machinery/equipment part on the ship.

That got me wondering:

Does every branch have its own “donkey dick”?

So far I’ve got:

- Army: fuel spout/nozzle

- Navy: machinery/ship equipment part

- Air Force: ???

- Marines: ???

- Coast Guard: ???

- Space Force: ???

Veterans/current service members from every branch, what did your “donkey dick” refer to?

I need to know if this is somehow a universal piece of U.S. military terminology 😂

Rumor is that the board results will drop this week! fingers crossed

The U.S. Space Force has completed a two-satellite surveillance network over the Indo-Pacific, closing out the first national security space partnership between the United States and Japan with the August 10 launch of a second American sensor aboard a Japanese navigation satellite.

Just graduated in May, and am going to base for in processing tomorrow. What should I expect and also should I wear my OCPs?

I am considering requesting to be reclama’d by my unit next year’s GAT, and want to start weighing my options now. Can anyone direct me to specific guidance that I can reference for reassignment/reclama?

Specifically, I am curious if I can reject a reclama if I receive it, similar to how I can reject a new assignment? I am also debating just getting out when my service commitment ends, which is why I want to know if I have the option.

Some quick answers:

• Yes, the Space Force is real. No, it's not Starfleet. No, you can't become a space pilot yet. No, there are no aliens. No, we would not tell you if there were aliens.
• We don't know the answers to your obscure medical questions. We aren't doctors. Don't trust medical advice given by strangers on the Internet. Getting anecdotal information from other people that may or may not have a similar diagnosis or condition to you will not help you in any way. Everyone's medical situation is different.
• Drug use may be disqualifying depending on type and frequency of use.
• No, we don't know what jobs are available at any given time, or your chances of getting said job, or how long it will take for you to get the job, or how long it'll take for you to get to basic training or OTS.

Does anyone know why mission area tabs are only authorized for Core Function Mission Areas?

For those who are unaware, there is no Intel, C2 or SDA mission area tabs because those fall under Enterprise Functions. Every Mission Area falls under a Core Function. Ref. SFDD 1

You could argue that Enterprise Functions are an echelon above Mission Areas, but I feel since such a large portion of the force performs Enterprise Functions as their primary mission that an exception can be made. Like Deltas 2/5/7/15

Does anyone have insight on what's holding the SF FGO list up? Board status hasn't moved since 12 June. USAF had a list hit OSW on 16 June that's already released.

Any idea when the USSF list will release?

I heard that the RA was at one point no hat no salute and thought keeping that around would’ve been one little nice thing about working on that base

Will the SpaceForce receive the involuntarily volunteered?

I have a new SEL that knows absolutely nothing about the mission area of our squadron and has admitted a few times they don’t understand it. Is this a normal thing? Should SELs have experience in the mission area they are put over? They just don’t seem to be able to relate or give good career guidance. (I.e. past MW in a SWS, cyber in a CYS?)

First time qualifying for SRB. How will I know if I'll get it once I reenlist? I know in the past for usaf, they put out notifications when the pot it dry, but is that the same for ussf? How soon can I expect to get paid if I do get it?

Reenlistment is set for this week. Ty!

I’ve tried looking up 2026 rules and find mixed answers and I find it annoying when someone tells me an “anti suicide” patch is unauthorized
