Good advice,for both the military and civilian sector.I go to work,do my tasks and go home.Only talk about work related topics-too much drama at work-grown folks act like teenagers most of the time.
Hi Noelle, great information because you are right on point. I’m retired Army now after serving 27 plus years and I agree with everything you said. I also noticed your videos are about a 1 year old. So, with that said I hope you have more coming soon.
This content was truly helpful! Thanks so much for putting it out there. I can't wait to see more, as I'm interested in commissioning into the Air Force. 💪🏿❤👏🏿
Love this video very informative 💗. I like this because it’s coming a mature stand point of view . I was watching videos on toxic leadership and they did everything you said not to do. Keep up the good work !
I failed my meps drug test and have to wait 90 days. What do I do after the 90 days? Do I have to re start my joining process again or can I just do meps a second time?
K O, they have all of your paperwork already, so you should just have to go through MEPS again, rather than re-starting from the very beginning. I'm sure you'll have to get a waiver of some sort for the drug test, for whatever substance it popped positive for, but your recruiter should be able to work with you through that process. MEPS is kind of the doozie, but once you make it through there, you should be good to go. I've heard of others in the same situation, and for some, if they weren't able to get into the Air Force because of the positive drug test, they were able to apply to other branches and get a waiver to still serve in the same or a similar job, just for a different branch. So if the drug test keeps you out of the Air Force, don't give up hope, just reach out to the other branches' recruiters, let the know about your situation, and see if you can still serve in a different branch.
Hit and miss for military, I joined in 1981 when the drills can still knock you about. Army National Guard 💂♀️ , infantry. The mind set changed once I was in my unit. Long hair , goatee and faded OD uniforms and non polished black boots. It was a strange sight after basic and AIT , lack of military manner and bearing . All that changes when you mobilize for war zone service. Since most wars now are over , you people think twice before joining. Lot of changes and sexual harassment around everyone corner and classes on culture awareness and political bs. We no longer fight to win 🥇, we serve political powers that be . Bless my retirement
I would say that one about not venting to your coworkers is very important in the civilan world, as well. Coworkers are not your friends, no matter how friendly they may come off. The moment they sense you are getting ahead of them in the company, they will try to use whatever you vented to them about against you. And like you said, you don't know people as well as you think. True colors start to show at a different points in time, expecially when careers/work or money is involved. Some people don't even bother waiting until the person get out the room good enough before they turn around and spill what you said to someone else. Some people live for work drama out of bordom. Work relationships should be seperate from personal relationships. It makes life easier, expecially if you're serious about your job/career and reputation. Also, those red flags are true. A gossiper has no sense of privacy. If they talk about someone else to you, you and your personal business is fair game and you could be the next one they are talking about to someone else. A lot of this stuff you would think is common sense but it actually isn't. Some people have to learn the hard way, despite the advice.
Excellent video. For the record: I am NOT military- but all three tips she gave transcends to the civilian world. Tip #3 is a real jewel.
character 3 is SUPER IMPORTANT. i’ve experienced this multiple times in the AF

Wow, Ashley. I stumbled across your channel and your delivery is on-point. Thank you for your service and the useful information and insight.

I was in the Army from 92-2012 I retired SFC/E-7 and your 3 traits also carry over to the Civilian sector. Great advice
