Jeez that’s a long time away. Oh well. Hey everybody… I reenlisted!* 
Six more years of service to my country. And more than likely ten more after that. Just thought you’d like to know.
[sub]*And got a pretty phat paycheck for it too.[/sub]
Rank? Branch? Division? Do you shoot a gun regularly? Fly a jet? Play a tuba?
Just curious.
Happy
Cool beans, Sim. So, when do you make Staff?
You know, CMSgts don’t make the mistake of not logging their wives out before posting.
Thank God I have the excuse of being a SrA.
Again, that’s great news. I’m pretty much a lifer, too.
NOT ME!!! Bwa-Ha-HA!!!
But who the heck knows? I’ve been on an MEB for a bloody year. It may take another eternity before they decide to let me go.
[sigh] Next month marks my being in for 3 years. Crap.
But hey, it’s more money!
SrA, USAF, AFMC, yes, no, only on thursdays when it’s raining.
Thanks all.
AD, I’ll make Staff soon. I unfortunately wasn’t a participant in the great SSgt giveaway last year… I was out of cycle to test. So when you headed to the SNCOA? 
2005mar01. sigh.
But, only 5 years, 3 weeks, and 6 days 'til I have my 20.

After I make officer, why would I need to go there?
All I’ll have to say when I see you is “Where is thy salute, Sergeant?”.
Mwahahahahahahaha!
Congrats, Simetra! Good on ya!! Got pictures?
Myself, I’m enslaved for another 8 years at least.

I like my work (except for today :mad: ). I wouldn’t be doing anything else (just more of my own, and less of everyone else’s :mad: ).
2006 DEC 31 with at least 4 active and 4 years reserve after that Of course, I am still just a midshipman in ROTC, in a couple of years, all of you will have to salute me.
Congratulations, Simetra. That’s smashing news; I’m incredibly proud of you for your devotion to this country.
2003 MAY 19 here :P. I’ll be very glad when I’m finally out, turns out I’m not very compatible with military thinking. 6 years was plenty.
Simetra: I was under the impression you had to make Sergeant before you made Staff Sergeant.
Mine expired 8 years ago, but I was never in the military.
Congratulations, Simetra! My brown one says 2005Jun10, but I’m trading that one in for a spiffy green one this summer, and I don’t expect that one to expire for a good long time.
Air Force SSgt is an E-5. There is no Sgt.
Semper Fi
My old ID card said “Indefinite,” but this new thing says 2004DEC17.
I just signed for a bonus, so I’m locked in for another five years. The earliest I’ll be able to get out is around year 13, so I’m pretty much a lifer also.
DreadCthulhu, I was NROTC, and AFAIK there was no requirement for me to serve in the reserves if I had gotten out last year. If you serve eight years AD and get out, does your 4-year reserve commitment still stand?
flyboy88: There’s something called the MSO (Military Service Obligation). Back when I first enlisted, that was six years. Nowadays, it’s eight years. So, if you serve eight years Active Duty, you’ve fulfilled your MSO. & in case anyone’s wondering, if you had entered the military when the MSO was six years and were still in when it went to eight years, your MSO remained six years.
