What promoting to Sergeant is really like in the Air Force.

The truth behind the stripes. Nobody tells you about the EPR due dates and operation golden flow.

Hilariously spot on! When I made Ssgt, week 2 after getting my stripes I got called to the squadron for UA detail (aka "Pecker Checker").

[@MeanBus1ness]

Wow sounds like a rough time man

[@militarymoments]

You need more duty 😂😂😂

[@whydnot]

Don't forget the supply of new airmen fresh from their multi month job orientation, commonly referred to as "technical school"....where it seems that nothing technical is learned.

[@texan903]

Maybe it's a good thing I won't promote for at least three years, as my leadership helped screw me out of a promotion statement, really no point in me even testing this year.

texan903 E4 is secretly the best thing to hold on to. People know you know your stuff since you’re not an A1C but you don’t have exactly as much responsibilities as a SSgt (most of the time). Take your time studying and you’ll make it to E5 at the right time.

Thank you much for the picker upper, your wonderful advice will help give me the confidence to make another crack at it the next time.
