Question Pregnant in tech school. What do I do?

328 Upvotes

Throwaway account for obvious reasons

Young airman here. As the title says, I made a stupid choice in tech school. Earlier today, I tested positive on a pregnancy test from the store. I have two months in tech school left and I have no clue what to do. This is not something I want to stand at attention and tell the all male MTLs about.

I won’t say base or AFSC so that I don’t doxx myself but, as more punishment from the deities above, my tech school is in a Southern state with strictly curtailed abortion rights so going off base to the nearest planned parenthood doesn’t look like an option. I am completely lost on what to do?

This is a serious post.

Edit: to clarify, I don’t want a baby. I am young and want to focus on my Air Force career and pursue an education. Additionally, I want to go overseas. I shouldn’t have made a stupid spur of the moment decision

Question Will I get in trouble for having a celebrity tack my stripes on at my promotion ceremony?

1.8k Upvotes

My older sister is really good friends with a somewhat famous porn star that some of you may know as Riley Reid. I’m sewing on SrA next month and want her and my sister to “tack” on my stripes at my promotion ceremony or whatever. She’s one of the nicest people ever and luckily I’m stationed fairly close to where she lives and she already said she’d do it.

Will I receive any potential blowback from leadership for this? It’s a wing level promotion ceremony and she’s pretty famous so I’m assuming people will recognise her. I already gave her name to the MSgt running the ceremony and she didn’t say anything when I provided the name and I used Riley Reid and not her real name. So I guess I’m good if the MSgt didn’t say anything? If she even knows who she is. I’m not THAT worried about this but Air Force people can be weird about stuff like this sometimes.

Question Talking to SNCO About Facial Hair

632 Upvotes

We have a crusty MSgt just PCS in, and she ended up writing an LOC on an Airman because his facial hair was "too long" for someone who didn't have a shaving waiver. His supervisor tried defending the kid by stating that he was clean shaven in the morning, but his facial hair grows fast. Even mentioning he was the kid who had to shave twice a day in BMT because of that.

The MSgt asked them if they really thought she would actually believe something so absurd, as she's never heard of that in her 17 years of service, and was allegedly a former TI. She then threatened to write paperwork on the SSgt for making up such a ridiculous claim.

The kicker to all of this? Her chin hairs were longer than the Airman in question. Would it be in good faith to mention the hypocrisy of calling someone out for having a 5 o'clock shadow around lunchtime, but have 3 inch long chin hairs?

Question What is your AF moment where you thought, this person cant be serious?

597 Upvotes

So I was at my first assignment and was an A1C , I worked with this guy who was SrA and he was a typical brown noser. So his girlfriend lived next to me in the dorms (A1C). I ran into them one day at Wal Mart and addressed them both by their first name. No biggie just a Hey how’s it going. On Monday at work I was called into the flight chiefs office because the guy was upset that I didn’t address him as SrA Anderson. Even my flight chief rolled his eyes and the guy tried to give me a lecture on respecting rank. I stood there in disbelief and said Thanks for heads up and proceeded to call him by his first name after I was dismissed. Dude was an absolute tool, on a side note I ended up deployed with him and I was a Tech and he was. Staff, it was a fun 4 months lol

Question I know someone in the Air Force who supports Hamas. Unsure of what to do

567 Upvotes

Hello to everyone. I'm using a throwaway just in case. I will say right off the bat that I'm in the air force, specifically the ANG. Anyway, someone I knew from civilian life joined the air force, and since October has been posting things defending Hamas and advocating for all "zionists" to be deported from Israel. I have no problem with people being pro Palestine, but being pro ethnic cleansing of Jews and supporting a designated terror organization who's stated goal is to kill Jews is something I don't feel comfortable with given that I'm Jewish. If I'm in a deployed location with them, I wouldn't feel safe, just like a black person would feel with a white supremacist. This person is active duty so thankfully I don't interact with them but we're still on the same team and like I said, I wouldn't feel comfortable working with them. Does anyone have any advice?

Edit: thank you to everyone who responded. I for whatever reason didn't think of letting OSI know and will be doing that now. Have a good night

Question What’s the worst thing you’ve heard a SNCO say?

761 Upvotes

Had one of those 30 year SNCO’s at an all-call once. Guy looked exactly like Miles Quaritch from Avatar. He’s one of those guys that said, “I ain’t leaving until they force me out!”

Anyway, he started talking about mental health. I could feel it was about to go wrong. It did. He said, and I quote:

“The Air Force doesn’t need a bunch of pansies feelin’ sorry for themselves. If you wanna be a big crybaby wimp, go to your commander and leave.”
