  1. Satellite wifi on the way. No shit.
  2. Did they say "full time" or "AGR?" Technician/temp tech and AGR are very different pay scales and cultures.
  3. If your rep guy says leave it alone, I'd leave it alone. Not worth the gray hairs. And I'd quit posting mloa on my off days. Unless you're removing yourself from something or blocking something, the company doesn't need to know when you do mil.
  4. I had to google to see if you were kidding or not. Not, I see. Wow. Who knew changing the letterhead was so damn powerful! Imagine what they could accomplish if they changed the font, too! Also, this was a perfect chance to make it Airpeople!
  5. Oh I've had plenty of UTAPS points not post to PCARS. They had an entire newsletter about it. Hopefully it's fixed and doesn't reappear but definitely don't trust them! https://www.hqrio.afrc.af.mil/RIO-Buzz/Vol-34/
  6. In a better world, the viewer would analyze the speaker and the message and judge accordingly. You think most of what's broadcast domestically is not propaganda and misinformation? You think most of what Trump or Pelosi or Biden or the squad chicks say is truth? I think it's a perfect opportunity to sit down with your kids (or great-grandkids, CH & Huggy) and talk about critical thinking.
  7. I don't think an honest comparison is possible. If someone does try to study it, I think you'll just find deductive reasoning supporting a preconceived conclusion. There are way too many variables with Part 91/135 vs 121 operational risk, maintenance schedules, rest, recency, multi-model qualifications, single pilot vs crew, etc.
  8. You're really taking this leveraged thing seriously. The dude's not taking out a second mortgage for a million and risking his house. It's a piddly $25k. It's an excellent way to start a nest egg towards the elusive first $100k. Yes, it's leveraged, but it's going to be $450 a month, FFS. A couple maxed out IRAs and a bunch in FZROX at 22 for $450 a month? Yes, please.
  9. Gents, before this gets derailed too far, @Lord Ratner's point is not invalid. He's assuming you will pay the loan payments with the loan capital. Everyone else is assuming you pay the loan back with fresh paycheck money. I'm in the latter camp because I think even as an Lt, you should be able to scrape together $450 from your paycheck and let the loan money sit for the long term untouched. You shouldn't NEED that loan capital to pay the loan payments. It should be locked away somewhere (i.e. 2x maxed Roths + the rest in a brokerage account, although I'm more of a VTSAX man, myself). If you will NEED the loan capital to make the loan payments, then yes, put it in HY savings and make a few dollars on the difference.
  10. I thought this was interesting. I never bothered to look at doors that closely.
  11. That's simply horrendous reporting. I know I shouldn't expect anything, but wow.
  12. This mother of two: https://www.foxnews.com/us/pregnant-texas-woman-challenges-state-abortion-ban-lawsuit-receiving-fetal-fatal-diagnosis?
  13. I'm doing it next month so thanks for bringing it up.
  14. ~14 point spread makes it an interesting bet. https://www.vegasinsider.com/college-football/odds/las-vegas/
  15. If it's the same online thing as a decade ago, definitely get some coaching like BFM said before taking the assessment. I took it with my "A code" PIC mentality and in hindsight got about everything wrong. (i.e. You generally don't divert for a medical unless the doctor on the ground, maybe sitting in South Africa, says you divert.)

    Gun Talk

    To be clear, you'd be buying a pistol. A rifle cannot be made into a pistol. A pistol can be made into a rifle.
  17. After you've done real work for them. Deployments, trips, exercises, alerts, whatever they do. Do that well and then you can consider other options.
  18. You'll close more doors than you'll open by going AD initially. AD will almost certainly be an option in the future if it's necessary to reach your goal.
  19. https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederick-d-moorefield-jr-3b311612a/ "Deputy Chief Information Officer for C3 at DoD" ETA: You'd think a CIO would know better than to leave an incriminating electronic paper trail leading directly to a guilty verdict.
  20. Probably shouldn't use a word historically associated with the demeaning of homosexual males in your fight for DEI.
  21. FAR 61.195.k. It has to be a majority fling wing thing, but there's probably a fixed wing operator somewhere outside of the contractors doing NVG ops.
