I was incredibly lucky and started class at UPS on my second day of 3 months of terminal leave/permissive TDY for Househunting. But I was determined to get out of AD regardless. One day during my 5th deployment in 2 years I woke up to 2 huge rats fighting in my tent. I decided then and there that whatever job I got after the USAF my QOL would unquestionably be better.

After 2 years I realize how incompetent many of the people in the USAF are. Thankfully its excellent at what counts--putting bombs on target. But in general many of the senior leaders were incompetent and getting anything done at the MPF or Finance was like pulling teeth. I recommend that anyone wanting info about getting out contact AFPC directly because Amn Snuffy at your base in clueless.
