WOW!....I never would have thought that....that is def a statistical aberration...should only be about 2 outta a hundred with 98xx or above. I would have surely lost money on that bet.

We will see, I'm supposed to leave Sunday, then a week in Covid Prison in Qatar, followed by 14 days in Covid prison in Norfolk then a 5-8 weeks to get off AD because the admin civil servants only write 67 DD214s a week. (seriously, that is the driver)

In a class of 20 something we had 2 99XX, 2 98XX, and a 97XX. It was weird.

Dang, my SSN is 90XX so I would have been towards the top of my class, but in 2000, we went oldest to youngest so I was third from the bottom in a class of 30. What is the statute of limitations on age discrimination lawsuits? Kidding.

Why we don't just use age in a career that is age-limited is beyond me(I was plug at 16XX while nearly the oldest).

Wut!?! What service are you in? Got back from Afghanistan in Jan...one stop in Spain (bypassed Qatar) for 2 days then home. We didn't even quarantine back in the states. Is that common to stay on AD to get a 214? Been off orders since Mid-Feb and I'm not sure I even have my 214 yet lol.

Either way, congrats on getting out of that **** show. Welcome back...when you finally make it!

I agree. That is the way it used to be 30+ years ago. I have a feeling "age discrimination" is the culprit...and SSN is arbitrarily random.

Navy on an Army Staff.

Air Force won't let us roam Al Udeid without a 3-7 day trip through T town. even though we are coming from a "clean" location on a "clean" flight from Ali.

I literally only need to turn in my rifle and pistol with the Navy det there.

I then bypass Germany because I'm unvaccinated, but since the Navy considers the AMC terminal/process to he a "hot zone" plus they make us ride a bus back to Norfolk its another 14 day "rom" so I can freely move around the area to outprocess.

Mind you I live there. Nope. Barracks or locked in a hotel 14 days.

The root off all this is basically covid policy that is basically "we can't force you to get the vaccine but we can make it suck real bad if you don't"
