     If you lose sight, big deal, you're going to get gunned but thats better than screwing your neck or back up.

    What in the fucking fuck? If you run two jets together your neck and back won't matter. Coming from the guy whose callsign involves being blind and no joy at the same time.

  2. Pretending the comment above doesn't exist.... I highly recommend the GoPro 4 Silver.... It's nice because it has the screen on the back. Also recommend purchasing from the BX and getting the protection plan. My Gp4 Silver got crushed en-route to the 'stan and the protection plan replaced it, no questions asked!

    I had a similar problem. Short answer, you as the member can not depart your PDS until the 1st day of your DEROS month. However, there are no such restrictions on your defendants and HHG. 

    I was stationed OCONUS with a CONUS PCS. My DEROS month was April. I wanted to leave in March, for purely personal reasons. I scheduled my HHG in early March, asked TMO to book tickets for my defendants (wife and daughter) in late March, and I left about a week later on 1 Apr. I didn't have to cite any AFIs or jump through hoops, just used plain English to explain my PFA to TMO. They did not care. YMMV. Ask nicely.

    The long pole in the tent is going to be getting your orders early enough to schedule HHG that far out to stay on timeline.

    Thanks! I already got orders, so hopefully next week I can start working the HHG and "defendant" travel. I guess my next concern is finances.... should I just keep living in the empty house to collect OHA/Utils? Did you file non-concurrent travel on your PCS travel voucher?

  4. Nellis... Specifically the CAS Integration Group or the Tactical Air Support Squadron, depending on the time of day. Yeah, I can't find any specifics in the JTR for the "earliest" departure/hhg shipments.... I also can't figure out when it becomes non-concurrent travel... one guy mentioned it possibly being non-simultaneous concurrent travel. I'll probably just have to wait until I'm done with this TDY and back at home station so I can hear what the local interpretation of the JTR is.

  5. Friends,

    Trying to get advice on the best way to handle my travel plans. The background:

    I'm currently OCONUS accompanied. We've been assigned to a CONUS location next. My DEROS is December. My RNLT is mid December. I have orders in hand for PCS. I'm competitive for a TDY en route (SOS) in November, but I don't have official notification on that yet.

    What I'm trying to accomplish:

    Send wife/son early to occupy the house we're buying. I'd like them to be in place the second week of October. I'd also like our hhg to arrive sometime relatively shortly after they get there (within a few weeks)

    What advice do you have to help me accomplish this plan? It seems easy if I get amendments to go to SOS en route. What if I don't? Thanks in advance!

    HOWEVER...   If (1) JQP is paying BODN rent for the traffic count pushed his way, or (2) if the same Ballistol posts that currently live in the JQP subforum will then migrate to other parts of the forum, then please do leave them in his subforum.  I can ignore his subforum.  It'll be harder if the same posts just move to the General forum.

    He's not paying anything.

    Unless he's a forum sponsor, it shouldn't be here.

     

     

    He's not. 

     

    Originally, based off of content, I assessed it was a good idea to include a feed of JQP articles into a sub-forum so folks could continue in a semi-anonymous manner to provide feedback using BODN.

     

    Now, based off of a lack of valuable content, I am removing said sub-forum. If you like his articles, favorite his page.

    Busch Gardens in Tampa also has the 100% discount. It's an either-or with SeaWorld

    I just got an e-mail from SeaWorld, apparently they're in a major PR campaign to recover from the recent "documentary" about their whales. Anywho, I would probably steer clear of there for the next year or so, as they're likely to be doing serious construction. I'm taking the wife and 4 month old to Florida as well, and we'll likely check out BG this year, and SW next year (after they should be done with the construction).

    The app refresh is nice except now the adds look like forum topics and posts. Annoying...

    Interesting. Part of the reason for the update was changing the ownership of the app to the developer I was outsourcing. That means they have the ability to modify ad appearance so they can make money.

    But does it automatically shut down the motor in-flight? My guess is that requires pilot input.

    Wouldn't the pilot want to be the final arbiter over whether to shut down the radar? What if he's in the middle of an engagement when it starts to degrade? He may still be getting *some* capability from it.
