I thank you all for wanting me to stay.
I will check pms dailly, and if you need me I will be here privately.
However, please understand this is also for the good of this site.
Our DS commissioned last May. My kid's path is different than what many of you will be experiencing...especially because of sequestration.
There comes a time that someone has to take the torch. I know in my heart, that there are many posters that will step up for AFROTC.
I will be here, feel free to pm me. SAF is akin to FB for me. I have friends and we pm each other to update each other.
I will pm posters if I feel I can help.
However, I respect this site, and posters too much to stay just for me. You all need current guidance, especially because of sequestration.
Here is my advice:
Cadets trust the cadre --- their number 1 goal is to make you a great officer.
~ Dets are unique, your CoC will write your rec. Not us.
~~ We can help, with guidance, but in the end it is the det that impacts your future.
Parents trust your child. Cut the apron string, don't helo
~ In a blink of an eye they will be up for SFT/EA
~ Next blink and it is AFSC boards
~ Blink after that and you are hearing:
I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
And pinning on butter bars.
You are all in great hands.Trust the site.
Like I said, I will be here via pms. I am so thrilled that you want me, but AF comes 1st, and last for me. SAF is part of that too.
I will never leave any of you in your time of need. I will always be here, but like a guest at a party...you have to know when it is time to leave.
Christcorp(CC), flieger, Agagles, kevster, nick4060, Non Ducor Duco, all can assist every poster.
CC and fleiger are ALO's
Agagles has a child in AFROTC and at the AFA.
kevster just got a UPT slot as a 300 non tech
nick commissioned last yr as an Intel officer
Non Ducor Duco is in the system as an AFROTC cadet.
You see...I am not as invaluable as you may think... they are there and will be there.
Many of my posts come from info that I gathered from other AF forums. That truly is why I am still relevant.
PM me if you want to know the forums, it is against the TOS to link them...out of respect I won't do it.
Beware those forums are not as great as this site...you have to know how to look for what you want.
Best wishes, hopes, and thoughts
AIM HIGH...ABOVE ALL
