This wasn’t planned. But I have the same DOS as my adoptive dad (50+ years ago, USA) and my husband (11 years ago, USAF)

20 years, 6 deployments, and 4 CONUS assignments and I’m off the books today

Stay Fresh, Cheese Bags!

Sooo what's everyone's holiday plans with SPAFORGEN now being a thing?

Title

having a little fun... any interest if these were made? STARCOM Color, but can be done in any color. maybe more generic USSF gray

Just curious if anyone happens to have or knows where to find an animated USSF logo? I've scoured Google, but results only come with static logos, DVIDS videos, or .gifs from Space Force.

Prefer vector animations like those found on LottieFiles.

are disabled vets allowed to enter the base? i have a 100% disabled cac card. I wonder if watching the rocket launch in the base is a better view than the civilian locations. thanks

My wife and I both have CACs but we aren’t stationed at VSFB. We would like to watch the launch as close as possible. Does anyone know where we could go on base to view it? Or is it better to go somewhere off base.

I recently reopened the MilitaryWomen subreddit after keeping it in restricted mode for more than a year. If you are a a woman in the military looking for a place to engage on topics unique to us. Drop In.

Joining questions have their own Megathread. As do questions about grooming. There are only so many posts I can handle about hair gel.

 Cheers!

Who's been notified for transfer from USAF reserve to USSF?

I haven't :( ... yet.

What is the score range for the new complex reasoning test? And what would be considered a good score range?

not made by me, posting bc it’s funny though

Has anyone else had their Solar Instinct 2 automatically update their HR Zones? I've reached out to the GRT about it, but the last outdoor run I did changed my HR zones... what zones are our watches supposed to be set to normally?

I am trying to apply to get my exam funded through AFCOOL. The goal is approved and when I go through the steps to apply, the boxes to select the dates is greyed out. Has anyone dealt with this before?

My fiancé and I are both active duty (One is Army SIGINT, I’m Space Force Space Systems Ops). We’re graduating from tech school at the same time but PCSing to different bases in different states. We’re planning to get married soon after and will submit a joint spouse request.

For those who’ve been in a similar situation: • How long did it take to get stationed together? • Any tips to make the process smoother?

Let's go team!!!!!! The call asks for 10miles. Let's answer it!!

I know we all whine a lot but I think it’s fair to recognize the good things we have as well

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 other than non-habitual marijuana usage is immediately and permanently disqualifying. If you've tried cocaine, heroine, ecstasy, LSD, or any other drug even once, you are disqualified and there is no possibility of a waiver.
• 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.

Do not tell anyone to lie about drug use, medical history, or anything else. You will be banned.

Fund a functional cyber range so we can actually wargame cyber.

Im leaning towards moving onto base housing at Peterson. As an E5, what are the chances that I will get an actual house over a duplex? (Im married with 2 dependents and have been stationed here for 2 years)

I've just been notified that I'm going to be a cyber guardian. I don't have much experience about what this career field looks like so I was wondering what your guys' day-to-day looks like and what you wish it looked like in an ideal world.

I realize the USSF is still trying to figure out what it wants to do with cyber so I was wondering what your guys' ideal vision of the cyber force would be.

I am hoping to get my bachelors in CS before I am eligible for promotion to E7, at that level, does it matter if you have your CCAF if you get a pretty good bachelors degree?

It has been real, but the time has come for me to go to the civilian sector. I'm burned out, feel underutilized, and have no interest in my career field.

Luckily they got me at urinalysis so I have an out, my commander said it might be by the end of the week. I'll always treasure my 7 months of service and will forever be a proud Guardian. Semper Supra!

It's bittersweet to move on to other opportunities, but glad I could serve this time with my brothers and sisters in arms.

It’s the 15th of December every year.

Just thought I'd share this view from on my way out of the office this evening. 🫡 🇺🇸

Hey, anyone who has step promoted I'm curious as to the timeline.

I got to my unit last year as E-1, currently E-2. My supervisor said I'm doing a good job, and working above my pay grade. Because of this I submitted an application for step-promoten so I can get pay for doing a good job. when selecting the rank I put for E-9, because if I'm doing the best at my level then I should just go to the best rank. (There was no option for Lt Col).

I even singlehandedly made the USSF Mascot which is a service wide impact, and I've been bragging in my work center making sure they know it was me so I get credit for my work. Some of my coworkers hate me for it because they're mad I'm overachieving, and they try to say I'm being annoying and weird. They'll change their mind when I'm in charge of them

It has been 2 weeks since submitting the application and I'm still waiting to hear back, but Everytime I walk down the hall my commander notices and watches me so I think she's waiting to tell me the good news! How long do I usually have to wait to find out what rank I'm getting?

I used to wake up at 0600, fairly alert and ready to tackle the day at work - this all changed when the interservice transfer attacked. I have a much later arrival time at work than I used to yet I’m far more tired and less motivated to get in to work.

Went from doing shitty base comm to being an “intel expert” with nothing but busy work to do. I thought I wanted a less physically demanding position but now I realize I was wrong. Here’s to turning 30 today! 🥳
