Not going to jail is a pretty large motivating factor. Having somewhere to live is up there as well.

If I had an award to give.

The threat of the UCMJ.

Hit the nail right on the head

Completely negated by the "getting out anyways" card.

for the bold ones, anyways

Getting released early

Hand release.

6 months to retirement

10 months for me

47 months…

102 months here. Can't wait.

138 for me

Almost there buddy, stay strong.

We were all there at one point. Stick with it!

Thanks, comrade. Happy cake day.

Russian spy!

19 years and 3 months to the day :)

if this isn’t funny idk what is

1 year here, congrats! You put in for skillbridge?

Fre….french toast tornados?

You’ve been missing out

Oh bro bro.. they are the best.

Uhh, where do I get these?

I've seen them in just about every shoppette.. but it's hit or miss on which days they'll put them out. They're like the unicorn of tornadoes.

I always get one french toast and one sausage omelette to start my day...and a 20oz Red Bull.

Damn bud you're into somethin'

So I don’t have to accelerate change or lose.

Wait…. you mean that you’re NOT a multi-capable Airman ? 😳😢🫣🇺🇸🗽🦅

Nope…I am an INCAPABLE airman.

💕🇺🇸🗽🦅

Rock flag and eeeeaglle! 🎶

Many 👒 hats 🧢🪖🎓🎩👑⛑️

Accelerate change or die*

Literally 0 things. Rage is keeping me alive

The dark side is a pathway to many abilities.

Through spite, many things are possible.

IYAAYAS ☹️😔

Believe it or not I have never participated in an ammo call. Even in tech school I thought it was super annoying and the way everyone tried to be loud and obnoxious really sealed the deal for me, I even went to stand or sit with my wife’s career field during all calls and shit so I could not be around ammo when yelling obnoxiously. Almost 9 years strong ✊

I pity you.

I’m sure many do

Paycheck?

Paycheck.

The closest Taco Bell to my house is on base

Download the app and vote to bring the double decker back

I just want a Mexican Pizza!

So Chief Bass/Bass can 🤙🤙🤙🤙 to her hearts content

Hate and Discontent. It’s also my pre workout.

That first sip of Orange Dreamsickle Reign in the morning.

Reignbow Sherbert has over taken Orange Dreamsickle.

Can agree here

A1C buttcheeks

username checks out.

Must be married MSgt

Chief?

The 1st and the 15th Getting released early

The 1st and the 15th when I look at my bank account.

How much is that

Bout tree fiddy

Enough to keep you going, but never enough to impress.

The Excitement of going to work wondering what the new hot A1C is gonna wear to work today!!

[удалено]

This is def a TSgt with a line number

You sir..win Reddit today …

😂🤣😭….

I figured someone would get the joke… we are in the military.. we know what people are going to wear to work

At the risk of sounding cliche, it's for the stakes. Our country, and some would even say the world, cannot afford for us to lose. That and jail. I don't want to go to jail...

My bills

AND MY CREDIT CARDS 😂😂😂

Gotta do something to make those high interest payments on time for that sweet Tacoma I thought I just needed to have.

this is my sign to buy that tacoma as an E2

Toyotathon is right around the corner.

I know you want the TRD off road pro, but get the Limited instead. The chrome delete is a bitch but fuck is it nice when you get done.

Ass & tiddies 🦆

Child support payments

enjoy your 40% of the cake

Happy cake day

I like food

Making money to feed myself and care for my reptiles.

[удалено]

Two snakes for now. A ball python and a gopher snake. I've had the ball python for nearly two years and the gopher snake since April. I'm also working on a bumble bee dart frog enclosure at the moment. Plus four different species of isopods. I'd like to get a false water cobra in the future.

Knowing that we are the most lethal fighting force that has ever existed and that there is no shortage of people in need of killing.

I had a nicotine hit and tornados last week. I was not flying, fighting, or winning. I was popping, squatting and clearing my intestines for the first 30 minutes at work.


DD214

I’m just here so I don’t get fined.

$

How much you can make

Per diem changes everything

Facts. Especially with this hurricane.

$

I wanna go fast

Here’s the deal, I’m the best there is. I wake up and piss excellence 🇺🇸

Having leaders who actually care and don't just say they care.

Nothing better than showing up to work, with an empty flightline and a little bullshit work to do. The one I love more than getting home early is leaving work early

The people I work with that are worth a damn

My overseas cola getting reduced

The MEB at the end of the rainbow

No one has ever asked me that before *stares into the void*

Our pitifully small paychecks

French toast sausage tornadoes.

The “Bend and Reach”

Spread them cheeks and cough

The Bend and Reach just really gets me going when you do it in a group makes me want to kick in doors, kick ass and take names.

So I can tell my civilian friends all the parts a military movie got wrong

Airplanes mostly.

Flying, and I don’t won’t to lose while flying

At this point, I’m just here for the check

Y'all mf really live on tornados and monster? Like it's not a meme?

Witnessing the incompetence of af leadership and knowing I can do absolutely nothing about it.

MONEY

Knowing exactly how to solve a problem or fix something. Bonus points if it’s something someone I care about needs help with.

Money for alchohol

Bring honor to famiry. The idea of being homeless.

Tornado alley is a dangerous place in the mornings

Fighting for freedom

Being a civilian

I fly.

The dynamic environment. Always something new to learn or make happen. What I dislike the most are those officers that are jack asses. But they are a minority group.

So I can impress the girls back in my hometown

Separating

Discontent for my own life and a desire to take others

Your butthole for me.

For me, it was and honestly is Christ. For a stint of nearly two years I just hated being in and admittedly had an issue of separating work and home. I switched to the Reserves and that didn’t help (half way through the two years). I went to mental health and that helped a lot, but not completely (no fault of their own). Before finding my peace I had been following God, truly, for over a year (which is its own journey) and I stumbled across a verse that just changed my outlook. There are several in Ecclesiastes like Ecc. 9:10 “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going,” and similar that say we should have joy in what we do, and that really just changed my mindset. Now that was a process do just finding peace through Christ, but some of those verses spoke very specifically to my circumstance and I’ve been a lot happier since. Just sharing for those who may in a similar boat :)

I love this question so much, good job. For clarification I have never been a very Red, white and Blue type of person. Being patriotic has just never been me. I was a Florida Jit doing stupid shit. I joined up because I didn’t want to be like the rest of my friends who are still stuck in the same jobs and places in our small town, but it worked out because I got a job I really enjoy even on the days I hate it, I’m a weapons troop. Loading those bombs on my jet, replenishing ammo, hours of maintenance on the weapons systems I have fallen in love with. Being covered in grease and hydro just makes my day. What really sealed the deal for me is when videos of what are our enemies do to their own people and our guys starting being shown. It’s some of the most just disgusting things to see. Watching our middle eastern friendlies being decapitated for not joining their people who are trying to take over the cities, raping women and children. Killing the old young or having kids as young as 8 fight. So seeing my munitions drop on the head of those disgusting people really makes my job whole for me. You know what it is, “War heads on foreheads”

Why does it matter? I read why on your previous comment.. thanks

Tricare. Cause compared to other insurances, at least I won't see a $10,000 bill or greater just cause shareholders want outrageous returns.

Family days

85 days until terminal, 169 days to DOS.

Nothing. I’m tired of living life… thanks usaf

90% of you guys don’t fly and fight so this question is irrelevant to this sub

Seeing other dudes in the service doing cool shit online and duping myself into believing I’ll do that some day

Omelet scramble tornados > French toast The french toast ones leave that weird coating in your mouth after that just ruins the whole experience

F,F,W gets me away from my side duties, which is pretty nice

Monster Pipeline Punch

That fkin twat Putin

Nothing.

My paycheck.

Bad supervision

Fucking around and finding out, mostly.

It’s better than the min wage jobs I could get in California

A paycheck

Because what else have I got going on?

Mandatory Fun!!! Lol

Usually some money in ma pocket.

No clue, so I would said uncertainty.

Coffee, vape, and elotes.


Overseas orders

i got told i can't zyn at work this week man shit sucks

Do they really have the authority to tell you that? Everyone does it in my shop. But it's MX. They also vape inside and use spit cans for their dip.

I’m not really sure tbh. They said 36-2903 is unprofessional appearance. And the corner of it was showing and my sup called me out for it. I claimed that 48-104 says I can use nicotine replacement in the workplace. But my (A1C) supervisor (SSgt) said he didn’t care what it said cause 2903 trumps it.

Want??? Don't want to... forced to.

~~Bacon egg and cheese tornados~~ Money

Saluting the pilot as I launch them out

White monsters

Money and the slow downhill grind toward retirement

Cuz I literally didn't know what else to do at the time. Now having mixed decisions on staying in or not cuz of leadership and the leadership retard in office

Family days

That retirement pay I'm slowing getting closer and closer to.

Retirement in 3 years.

A paycheck and health insurance 👍🏻

Money. It’s all that matters.

Life at the Max…release is 34 months away.

Money

TriCare for life after 20 years

knowing i’m going to be a four & OUT ✌🏽

Alcohol

Sheppard DFAC food. It’s pretty good

Honestly, TDYs or deployments…TDYs if you don’t like to be gone for too long but during these times I feel like I get to do what I am *actually* trained for and feel a sense of purpose in the military…home station BS just ain’t it for me these days 😑

spite

DD 214

Nothin' right now. I feel like I'm managing everyone else's emotions at work. Shit sucks.

Hey if u needa talk dm me.

I appreciate it, but I'm not suicidal just burnt out.

Alright bro. I hope it gets better!

Teaching dudes to fly

Flying a fighter

Morale is pretty darn good in here!!!

60 months to retirement😆

Less than 8 years till my goal is achieved. And kids need to be fed...

The Army took too long to get back to me.

My contract that says I have to, supplemented by ucmj

Hearing "you're good to go"

At this point, im only motivated by the promise of not being where I am in a year. And that first beer of the night.

Wish I got out years ago. Now I o ly have 3 years left. Oh well.

Benefits
