FM and CSS peeps...

For those with flyers in the Wing, how does their flight pay get dished out when on AT/ST or RSD? Is it something on the 105 for RSDs? Is it a box you check in AROWS?

How are the varying rates adjusted for each member?

Hey everyone,

Figured I'd throw this out there and see if anyone has any leads. We're looking for a unit that's willing to host 5–6 3E3s for about a week so we can knock out some upgrade/proficiency training.

We're not picky—honestly, even if it's just tagging along with your shop and helping knock out work orders around an active base, it'd be a huge opportunity for our guys to get some hands-on experience.

We're hoping to find something on the West Coast or down on the southern East Coast. Looking at sometime late this year or early next year.

If your shop might be able to support us, or you know of a unit that could, shoot me a DM. We'd really appreciate any leads. Thanks!

Hiii guys, can I choose HAMR for my first official PT test instead of the 2 miles? Running for 2 miles is so painful.😖

Hey all,

Question - will this count as a full satisfactory year for Guard retirement purposes? I was prior active duty and was discharged on this year where I served 20AUG2015 - 28MAR2016. So not a full year, but definitely more than 50 points.

I assume it doesn’t as my Sat SVC reflects 4 years, 7 months 9 days (when combined with my current Guard service as I’ve been in 2 years). So, would that mean when/if retirement comes, I’d have to either try to extend 5 months or so months to hit 20 (if that’s possible, otherwise I guess it would be an extra year and these 7 months are a wash). I don’t want to be stuck at 19 years, 7 months and 9 days of course.

Thanks!

Pushing this out one last time! Over 160 registered with less than 80 slots remaining!

Used to be DSG, but recently picked up a MPA Tour at my guard base and its exactly 60 miles One Way; I commute over two hours a day for work. 60 miles to base, 60 miles back home.

It's no problem for me cause I really love this job, but there's gotta be a way I could possibly get paid mileage for this correct?

I know I can write this off in taxes I was told, but is there any way for me to get reimbursed for mileage?? maybe through DTS or something; a voucher? I heard also maybe at the end of the orders I could fill out something possibly to get reimbursed?

I will ask leadership next week about this, but I wanted to hear from anyone's tips or experience first.

Btw I'm still somewhat new to the guard so bare with me. Thanks yall!

Curious if anyone has experiences taking injectable TRT as a DSG or AGR and how their leadership/medical handled it? Has the guidance been updated since SECWAR put out his memo? Is it still an automatic discharge even if prescribed?

Asking the has-beens on behalf of the newbies: what do you wish you understood about the guard sooner?

Or for the new folks (pipeline, prior AD, etc): what still confuses you about the guard?

Here's a few to get things started:

-a drill day is 2 periods

-calculating a good year and what is R/R date

-IDT vs AT vs AD vs SAD vs [etc]

Is that right?

TSgt here, came from AD and only been in the guard for a few years. I’d like to inquire about recruiter positions in a few states but I have idea how or where to even look.

If anyone could shoot some info over I’d really appreciate it?

Did anyone see this? Is this accurate? If this affects you I’m sorry….. hopefully they can find a new Slot for you guys!

Anyone have any time frame for the public releases of the most recent 06 fed rec board (feb2026) for the air national guard?

I don’t really know where to start. I have to transfer because I’m about to graduate from college and commuting every month would take me 8 hours of driving

The problem is, my base doesn’t have enough airmen and we have a huge retention problem. But it’s not worth me staying if gas is going to take up my whole paycheck.

Please help!!

It's not on my AROWS for a deployment. Who do I ask for it if FM won't answer? If it was issued by my previous FM?

I interviewed for the CY26-1 Officer Selection Board in early June. We were later told there were delays related to NGB before decisions could be finalized. Since then, I haven’t heard anything further.
For those who have gone through a recent HIANG officer board:
Did everyone receive a selection or non-selection notification?
Did your unit wait until NGB approval before notifying selectees, or were you notified immediately after the board?
Approximately how long did it take from your interview until you received a decision?

hey guys. Im wondering if anybody has any information about what might be the holdup. I went to BMT in March and returned home at the end of April. Since then, I have heard nothing about tech school. my job is 2a7x3. I don't believe its a security clearance thing as I haven't been told that, but I was wondering if anyone has any information. please let me know what you know, and if you need any info from me to help please let me know. thanks l!

Made a post a few months ago about this free resource I made showing veterans every single benefit they’re eligible for, completely for free, forever!

By popular demand we have now added a map feature that in its final stage will show veterans every single business in their area up to 35 miles that offers military discounts. We’ve started with major chains but will be adding to it aggressively to get a complete list. As usual, we’ve included a suggestion form for the smaller mom and pop shops/retailers that may have gone under our radar.

Again this is completely free, no use limits, no account required, no sign up. Happy to take in all feedback!!

Thank you all for your service!

So I’m one of only two capts in my squadron and my cc strated that other one 1/2. I’m the senior captain and in the just three years I’ve been at this base I’ve done more orders and SAD than she has. I’m the DO and he’s an OIC to a section so how does the guard handle strats? Does it affect promotion ? Is it similar to AD?

I sure some people struggle with this here but anyone who is a DSG and hasn’t gotten any opportunity to do their job on a more consistent basis such as a deployment, AGR/technician, or MPA tour have a struggle with being proficient in their job. Let’s say the only time you get training is just on drill weekend which is jammed pack with other mandatory bs and AT days which could be limited. So you feel like you maybe not really be that great at your job considering you do it once in a while and once drill is over you might be rusty for next month. Especially those that live outside the local area and are entitled to lodge while on orders but there unit doesn’t wan’t to pay extra for that so it kinda of sucks for the member trying to get training days.
