In theory, all of it. In practice: I want you to go to clearancejobs and usajobs and browse jobs in the intel career fields for a while and take note of the most common applicant requirements and experience levels. This will give you a better picture of what is actually feasible - some fields, the right experience and qualifications could maybe let you line up a job right after 1 contract, but for most things, you're looking at 5+ YOE and a degree to get looked at.

I’m in Air Force DEP at the moment and my recruiter recently offered me several AFSCs that he says are similar to the ones in my job list (they aren’t). He says because I got in with a waiver that I should be ready to take anything they give me whether it is on my list or not. Is this true? Was the job list they made me do a formality this whole time? I declined the positions but I can tell he is getting annoyed with me.
I put two open aptitudes in there: electric and general so I thought I would get a decent chance of getting something in those.

just call them? idk what you are trying to get done remotely and odds are most recruiters will want you to come in person for a lot of things
my gut feeling is something came up when you tried going through your local recruiter and he was unwilling to continue the process with you because of it. is that on the mark?
>>
>>65195643
A private 2nd class makes give or take ~$2700 a month and that turns out to ~$32000 a year.
Federal minimum wage is $7.25. Depending on the state it could be higher or lower. We're not calculating taxes either.
If you worked for federal minimum wage your yearly income is $15000.
Your compensation package as an E-2 in the military is worth double your yearly salary.
So while you only have 32 grand takeaway you are living like you make $60000 which is higher than $28/hr. That is before taking into account other benefits like tuition, housing, or training schools.
Your malicious seething falls apart the moment one examines the numbers.
You are still going to prison BTW. LOL enjoy walking on eggshells with the law the rest of your life, retard.
>>
>>65195850
The math that this wanna-be fifth columnist is using for pay is a misunderstanding of "duty, leave, or liberty", and he is calculating an hourly rate based upon an impossible hypothetical of a servicemember working 24/hrs every single day. Of course, he wouldn't apply that logic to other professions that are on-call or work extended hours, because his concerns have nothing to do with pay but are instead fueled by a personal hatred for the military that his tax money funds. Then again, if his highest aspiration is to be on 100% disability, maybe he is NOT paying any taxes due to underpaying or nonexistent employment.
Now watch the smoke rise out of his ears.

my air force recruiter talked about the different jobs shes had throughout her career without changing her specialty and how theres a lot of job flexibility, in other words youre not locked in to a specific job your whole career, how true is this?
>>
>>65195938
idk about air force but extrapolating from the army, it heavily depends on your specific job/rate/MOS and the one you want to swap to and what the manning numbers look like for both jobs at the time you try to do it, plus additional possibly fuckery like chain of command approval.
ex. your job is overstrength and the one you want is understrength? should be doable. your job is understrength and the one you want is overstrength? you're cooked.
>>
>>65195938
I'm having trouble interpreting your post, but as >>65195953 said, you can voluntarily retrain to different AFSCs throughout your career, the ease (or even possibility) of which depends on circumstances.
But given you specified
>without changing her specialty
I assume she's talking about how much an AFSC's work can change based on base/unit/etc. So yeah, the job can vary heavily even in the same AFSC. Using cyber transport (network comms, think routing and switching) as an example, the most generic posting would arguably be at a base comm unit fixing computer network issues, updating switch configs, hanging out in the server room, maybe running cables. But there are a massive amount of other jobs that AFSC does; expeditionary comms, base security systems, monitoring ISR data feeds, (babby-tier) cyber security, niche assignments like Armed Forces Radio, get some other comm AFSC's job thrown at you, hell you could join JCU and go run around in the desert with JSOC. And of course the higher your rank, the more you lean into management than technical work.
Security forces would have been a much better example than cyber transport, but I already typed that out.
Also at some point in a career, an Airman is expected (maybe required, idk) to do a DSD assignment (recruiting is one of those) before going back to their original AFSC.
>>
>>65195953

i see, so its basically about overlap of your job entailing different things depending on assignment/location/needs, i imagine actually changing your AFSC is less common

Depends on your selected MOS and the space they have available. Let's say you signed up to be a aircraft electrician. The Army might have more a pressing need AND space in their schools for that, so your turnaround time might be significantly shorter.

>>65199920
If you are willing to accept any job, either will slot you in very quickly.
If you are job locked, either could take a long time but Air Force would make you wait longer for a slot because it's the smaller branch.

My USAF recruiter ghosted me, so I contacted a recruitment office across the border, in a different state.
He wants me to sign some documents tomorrow!
I'm freaking out. I just hope I don't get rejected at MEPS.
As I get closer to the date, the plan gets more real, and I'm starting to freak out more.
In the beginning I was worried about not doing well enough on the ASVAB. Now I'm worried that I'll do so well that I'll end up qualifying for a cool MOS I can't refuse.
I really could use some advice on pre-signup jitters. This is a big cliff and signing is jumping off of it. Once I sign, I know they own the next four years of my life.

>I really could use some advice on pre-signup jitters.
If you're not nervous, there is something wrong with your brain.
Thousands of people dumber and fatter than you sign up for the military and manage to graduate training every year, most of them in branches with initial entry training more difficult than the Air Force's.
The hardest part of graduating BMT is showing up to it. You have to be a total fuckup (or have some underlying medical conditions) to fail it.
When times are tough, think about the lifelong VA gibs you're going to get for a few years of bullshit. Don't think about it until you pass MEPS though, rejection will be extra soul-crushing if you do.
>Once I sign, I know they own the next four years of my life.
I ended up having more freedom in the Air Force (aside from BMT obviously) than I did living with my parents lol. Results may vary.
Also the Air Force uses AFSC, not MOS. The recruiters will roast you if you say MOS.

Can’t a 6 year contract guarantee your job in the Air Force? That’s the only reason I can see it being worth it.
6 years in a dope job is better than 4 in a shitter job. There’s niggas in the Air Force that work 30 hours a week in an air conditioned office. And there’s also niggas that work 50 hours a week in the rain and snow.

Yes, Robert is a retard that has been bitching on here since Obama was president.
Even so, I still encounter a lot of normies who think military members are poor. They usually cite the number for E-3 pay, not realizing that E-3s are like 19 years old lol.
Military pay is so nice that it makes it hard to leave. NCOs make above the median salary. It’s always there. You won’t get fired. You can always strive for a promotion or commission, but you’ll get paid anyways even if you don’t get there.
Meanwhile, in the civilian world, like 90% of jobs pay literal dogshit. Everyone is fighting over the same 10% of good jobs. You can get fired at any moment. Companies are constantly trying to find ways to pay you less. Trying to replace you with Indians.
People are graduating college and bragging about landing $30/hour jobs. Shit’s bleak.

Don't listen to them. Speak with your Air Force recruiter about possible wait times. The max you'll be in DEP is 1 year and I know people that have shipped out less than 2 months after speaking with a recruiter.
If you require any waivers the wait time might be a bit longer, but in my opinion it is worth it. The grass truly is greener on the Air Force side. Unless you want to go combat arms (special warfare aside) most Air Force jobs translate very well to civilian life if you don't want to be a lifer.

>>65206255
He might be prior service. If you are not, then feel free to talk with the recruiter. The Air Force made goal is fiscal quarter so be prepared to wait a while (think of it as more time to prepare for the military) and be ready to get a assigned a job that might not be your first choice (if you are not okay with that, the Army and Navy let you job-lock).

Based on what I have researched, there is no civilian transferability and there is a high turnover of enlisted, so it must suck. If you have any info to the contrary, I welcome the correction.

>Thus people who don't want to be management and graduates who don't like their field of study are forced to work a career they don't like but chose
And before you say some shit like "just choose a better major" most people find out that they hate their career field after graduating and by then they are 5-6 figures deep, 4 years in, and 5-10 years from paying off their student loan.
Obviously everyone cant be a manager, but society makes it seem like everyone can and should be one so everyone gets in deep long before they realize they didn't want the life they built.

They're slow, incompetent, forgetful, and require a hard head to put up with, but they're not as actively malicious as healthcare companies.

>guys the military steals ur pay!!! Its like making minimum wage!!!! Aaaahhhhh!!!!
Meanwhile an E-1 can pocket literally 100% of his pay if he wants, has no rent or utilities, pays zero dollars for health insurance and 25 bucks a month for a $500k life insurance policy, gets almost everything he pays in taxes back in his returns, and has no responsibilities beyond doing his job and doing what his team leader tells him to do, and can't be fired unless he fucks up really bad over and over. Compare to a dude flipping burgers who has rent, electricity, water, health coverage, and more to pay from what he makes and can be let go the first time he shows up late.

So why aren't you contacting your senator to ask for service members to be paid better? Whining on 4chan clearly accomplishes nothing.

As if this hasn't been clearly and prominently depicted in every single movie and tv show we all saw prior to joining. Nobody has ever promised a Ritz Carlton experience... but maybe your recruiter lied to you and you're still butthurt a decade later?

>>
>>
>>

In Robert's words he makes the VA sound like a free candy store where people plot to pillage from the government before they join. [Even though if it were true, with his anti-government ideas he should be encouraging this]
Then when Robert wants to use the VA as a negative talking point he says that VA disability is for 'welfare queens'.
This is despite the fact Robert himself is a welfare queen using SSI and NEETing in his elderly parents house.

NTA but you have to be willfully naive to not notice the fact that Israeli interests influence US army interests. Even boomers know that, the only difference is they think that's a good thing. Look at the war with Iran. I'm not one of those doomers that go "WW3 TOMMOROW", but things are very much heating up.
>>
>>
>>
>>65215988
maybe Robert is just upset because he thinks he will get more gibs if the military gave less to its folks? His whole "plan" makes zero sense, as his ideal world is one where the US disbands its military, surrenders to a foreign power, yet somehow he ends up getting free money.
>>
>>
>>65216098
No, it's a constant reminder that one fat faggot comes here every day in a vain attempt to dissuade people from joining the US military, and it's always been THE SAME GUY who gets incredibly butthurt at how easily he gets spotted. He can't do anything about it, he has no rebuttal, and it completely negates his messaging because everyone knows it comes from a place of personal resentment caused by getting kicked out of BCT in 2015 because he loudly proclaimed to his drill sergeant that he was going to start indiscriminately shooting women and children the second he stepped foot in Afghanistan. Motherfucker was called out for being a liability and has now spent the past decade reaffirming the Army's decision that he is a complete whacko with severe mental illness.
>>
>>65216112
>it's always been THE SAME GUY
Is it REALLY the same guy, or do they just accuse anyone being negative about the military of being this Robert guy, and obviously you can't prove or disprove it on an anonymous forum.
Also, is he dead or not?

It literally is the same guy. Same links, same messaging, same memes, same unhinged behavior, same complaints when he gets called out, and same insistence on sewing the idea that it's actually somebody else and somehow never actually him.
If Robert was dead, there would literally be no shitposting in these threads. Robert knows this, which is why he came back and got very very upset to see that this thread, just as the recent ones, was doing just fine and moving at a slow but steady pace with no mention of his antics.
>>
>>65216139
>that it's actually somebody else and somehow never actually him.
Sounds like a catch-22. If the poster says it's him, it's him. If the poster says it's not him, it's actually secretly him.
Basically, it's like the "(yes/no) ___, I'm gay" trick
>with no mention of his antics.
This is a ridiculous statement. A quarter of the posts in this thread are about this Robert guy. This is the second time this collage has been posted.
>>
>>65216173
Robert sees that nobody is talking about him so he starts talking about himself. This is an observed phenomenon, and your insistence on disagreeing with me is hallmark Oppositional Defiance Disorder, which poor Robert has been diagnosed with. Poor Robert also really thinks he can convince me or anyone else that anybody else gives a fuck about him enough to independently talk about him
Let's put it this way - if Robert isn't coming here, that means Robert was successfully counter-trolled to the point that he ran away like a little bitch. Robert's own narrative, this idea that he isn't here anymore, is a concession of defeat and paints him like a failure.

You're still not getting it, Robert. YOU are the one being targeted. Take a look at all of the hypnotic repetition that you have fallen victim to, and now you voluntarily refer to yourself by a disparaging nickname given to you by the person that has been hijacking your ODD and compelling you to spend a decade coming here despite losing your original objective years ago when the mods confirmed /meg/ will not be banned for being off-topic.
You think this is all about you, but it's not in the way you think. You are feeding a psychological vampire but proclaiming that the vampire will eventually choke if you just keep giving him your life force.

I feel like I'm talking to a mental patient who thinks the doctor is his abusive father or something. I'm not Robert, but that doesn't work for you because in your mind, that means I'm secretly Robert. You will keep thinking anyone who doesn't agree with you personally is Robert.

Unfortunately, Robert single-handedly changed the narrative so now recruitment is down to zero and everyone is getting 100% disability and draining the DoD's budget dry. The US military is crippled and defeated, all thanks to the efforts of one very obese NEET.
>>
>>
>>65216438
But recruitment can't be up, because Robert spent a decade of his life on 4chan doing everything in his power to bring it to zero. Robert can't fail! Maybe it'll just take another 10 years! We just need more pictures of trannies and non-whites in uniform! More jpegs from /pol/! More complaints about muh jooz!

Recruitment is up because a conservative is in the White House and Hegseth is traditionally masculine. Obviously that will appeal to people who think about going into the military.

Other people have come here and levied informed criticisms, notably 92G (who Robert tried to pretend to be). The difference is that Robert's complaints are on a very small list that he likes to rotate after he gets completely bootyblasted, and they don't come from a place of personal experience (which tremendously upsets him to be reminded that he fucked himself out of a military career).
Robert is easily identifiable and no amount of gaslighting can change the fact that when mods clean up Robert's posts, it just so happens to wipe out the ENTIRE anti-military discussion. Why would banning one man erase every criticism in the thread if there were somehow multiple people who coincidentally repeat the same talking points at the same days and times?
"It's not Robert" has never worked and only calls further attention to the fact that one very obese and angry person is waging a personal crusade against the US military on 4chan.
>>
>>
>>65217502
Scroll up and witness the holocaust that was inflicted on Robert's posts. Now here's where this gets even weirder - this guy drives around Peoria, Illinois and switches cellular towers so that he can ban evade, which is why you do still see some of his older posts even after around 40 of his posts were deleted today.
I understand you really REALLY want at least one person here to believe Robert went away, but that dumbass has been psyopped into coming here in the vain attempt at "defeating /meg/" after his ODD was hijacked by an Army 37A who gets his rocks off on fucking with him.

Because I'm actually a writer and highly autistic and can recognize speech patterns and styles with extreme ease, which is mostly because of my fascination as a child with certain fantasy writers which inspired me to create my own writings and such. Everyone has unconscious ways of speaking that are if not necessarily unique to them at least unique enough that when they post repeatedly and in longer form content you can, or at least I can, follow along and realize when someone else has either joined or dropped the conversation, or when one poster is basically necrobumping a thread until someone else shows up. It's very obvious in generals who the regulars are and who the randoms are. It's not foolproof, it is speculation of course, but it's actually very difficult to change your writing style without actively committing to it and even then you need to be aware of your own writing style to know how to change it.
Also the lack of more than one person defending Israel is a dead giveaway when it's you because I legit have not seen more than one person even trying to do that. Frankly, that's a bigger tell than the way you repeat certain phrases, insult and mockery styles, and dismissal conditioning.
>>
>>65217608
You know what's wild? This is eerily familiar to what I told Robert when he got upset years ago about being easily spotted despite finding ways to augment the unique poster count. So similar, that it invigorates me to know that my words still echo rent-free in his head years later.
Anyways, I can just tell you to use the same logic with Robert and you can't reasonably refute it, but you will try to because your objective is to convince everyone here that Robert is dead so that you can.... do the exact same thing anyways? Like, I don't get it, if the Robert name upsets you so much, why do you call yourself Robert?

I love coming to niche communities because this happens all the time and you can just say one thing and now you're the resident lolcow or the guy ranting about the resident lolcow and everyone invested in this is too set in their ways and looking for their foe that they've wasted years of their life.
Fuck me one time I offered to write something for a group, mentioned my inspiration and motivation to do so was a specific character, went to go drive, and came back and there was an entire flamewar going on with people accusing me of being a specific lolcow, and that my offer to write a section was fake and "I" never existed and it was just the resident shitposter who also liked that specific character. As if there was only one person who could mention that. It was very offhand too, attached to a much longer post, but that very inclusion sent a bunch of people on a witchhunt. Very amusing in retrospect, at the time it was a feels bad man moment.

Why do you think 92G has to do this? Because in the past Robert has pretended to be him, and 92G thinks Robert is cringe and gay. Robert would drink 92G's bathwater if he could because he knows 92G's statements are actually valued as they come from a personal experience. The fact that 92G does not fuck with Robert shows that there are multiple "I hate the US military" perspectives but one of them is far less valuable than the other.
