Not complaining but this is why I WANT a change from the Army to particularly the AF- The infantry, without ranger or SF, doesn't really give you any skills you can use outside of law enforcement, nor do they even WANT anyone with infantry/combat experience in FL.
I went through reclass training for 15T. After 2 tours and being an NCO.. the other prior-service guys got treated like absolute crap by the permanent party instructors. The new AF enlistees were treated a lot better than us and even had better housing. Their professionalism impressed.. so that's why. But that's neither here nor there....
Thanks for the info on Silver guys. Does a lot have to do with being a "new" airline with your typical growing pains or do they still have the same people from Gulfstream?
I thought the Army was trying to make things better for you all due to the increased stress of the post 9/11 years. But I'm not in. My uncle is a Lt Col in the Army Guard, and always says how much he hates it...but he keeps staying on after 20, so I'm not sure how much of his talk is just the usual people complaining about work.
