I’m thinking about going army to USCG so which means I would have to extend my DEROS (jan2027)to my ETS (aug2027). Which means illl go straight from Army to coast guard. Am I still able to do a skillbridge or is skillbridge for AD to civilian only ?
I got about a year and a half left and I'm looking to be an electrician when I get out. I did some under the table work in the past before I joined but I wanna get a job in San Diego.
What's the best route for reliable work? I have a mortgage I'm trying to pay and I don't wanna end up losing the house but I refuse to stay in the corps.
Mortgage is $3000 a month.
I'm retiring next year and starting to look for a Skillbridge. I'm not really sure what interests me, the Skillbridge site barely works, and there aren't very many options in my town and not yet decided on my HOS yet.
How did you go about choosing your skillbridge? For added context, I've spent 22 years in maintenance, computers and programming are a hobby and my Master's degree is in Occupational Safety & Health, so looking into one of those areas.
I hit the button 1 Feb for retirement and I'm looking to retire in Florida. Does anyone know of any companies that are hiring around this time next year?! Or is it too early to "look"?! TIA 🤘🏾🤗
I’m retiring from the Air Force at the end of 2026. Already have an approved skillbridge with allegiant vets. I know they will allow people in the program to do “OJT” with companies. Does anyone know if you can legitimately start a paid job and classify it as OJT with Allegiant. I’ve heard the stories about people working under the table but can you legally start work and get a paycheck from your new job under skillbridge? Thanks!
I understand that budget cuts had to be made and this is what we're left with, but holy crap do they make this harder than it needs to be.
Im in the process of try to submit my paperwork for a SkillBridge with CBP and im being told that the welcome letter that they send out MUST include the dates of when ill be at the SkillBridge. I reached out to the coordinator and explained everything and the response back is that they cant do that. They only send the tentative acceptance offer into the program and that they cant deviate from that.
I told the people at Ft Knox that I cam submit all the paperwork to them that was originally submitted to CBP for my acceptance, but they state it must be stated in the welcome letter. The military makes the CBP SkillBridge appear as the "official" SkillBridge of the military since its the one they advertise on the website for like a year now, but now im being held up because of specific wording.
Hello everyone,
I have an interview booked for a program manager position at a FAANG company. Has anyone ever had an interview like this? If so, what tips do you have. I am really excited for this opportunity! Thank you kindly.
Hello, currently doing a Skillbridge at a big box chain for an assistant manager position. I’m halfway through my 60 days, and….. it’s been rough. I don’t and can’t get any access to the manager systems, so 90 percent of my day is spent walking around doing customer service stuff. Which isn’t bad, but assuming I get hired on at the end of this I won’t really know the manager side of the job. I get referred to as “free labor” a bunch, which again, I have thick skin but it’s clear they don’t know how to train me for the job.
My hang up is the job is pretty much guaranteed, but I won’t be staying at this location (which i picked because it was close to my house). The pay is going to be pretty good, etc. but the disorganization here and lack of training is crazy.
P.s. my first experience with a civilian job in 20 plus years but, this place makes me realize how much stuff we get right in the military when it comes to coaching and developing.
Anyone have a experience doing skillbridge with texas instrument as a equipment technician? Just curious how was the experience is.
Commander almost denied my skillbridge then it got pushed up was told the commander signed off and it was going up to BC for approval I’ve not heard a response in over a week. I’m in an overstrength MOS and have positive NCOERs never any negative counselings. If it gets denied could I make an IG complaint with the overstrength In/Out calls and my positive ncoers. Is them not having a real reason to deny me enough to make a complaint? Is they just not liking Skillbridge enough? What are my chances?
Hello! I'm starting the Project Management track through KYO in a few months and was hoping to pick someone's brain who is currently in the same track or even just doing their Skillbridge with KYO. I've seen experiences from folks here before the Skillbridge updates, hoping to see what's going on after the DoD/DoW made the change. Thanks!
Hello everyone,
I may be a little early in the process considering I want to start SkillBridge by June 2027, but I wanted to reach out to see if anyone knows of any great SkillBridge opportunities in either Denver, CO or Colorado Springs, CO. I am a 3F0 (HR Specialist) in the Air Force currently with 10 years of service. I also have a bachelor's in information systems, will have a masters in Cyber-crime and digital investigation by the end of the year, and I am CompTIA Security+ Certified. I'd prefer to get out of the Administration/HR field and do what my degrees align with, but I am open to all suggestion! Thank you in advance.
