Military appreciation has jumped the shark
Sidebar .... getting the va rating stuff (if any) figured out as soon as you separate is paramount. It’s not about the money (and you can decline it if it suits your moral high ground). It’s about getting service connection and a “chain of evidence” established while its fresh....so that 40 years from now when you need a kidney transplant because the chem trails cocktail of the month turned out to be carcinogenic you aren’t thoroughly screwed. Dont scoff the va stuff. It’s worth the effort early. And glad to hear you’ve got everything all figured out ....

On the upside, you can knock out a masters with very little extra effort and if you can fog a mirror you’ll make O-5. On the downside, it’s usaf pme in all its glory.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
You have a lot of odd assumptions in your spreadsheet. And I would expect $390k to do a little better than $200k

Viper Mishap at Lake Havasu, AZ
Quite the opposite. They’re practiced a lot. But a lot of favorable events have to occur to dead stick a viper and successfully stop on the pavement. Proximity to a field, energy state, weather, traffic, loadout, etc. Even without pilot skill factored in....its about 50/50.

Viper Mishap at Lake Havasu, AZ
Sfo’s Are a 50/50 proposition at best. The Air Force knows it. There are lots of vipers .... glad the pilot got out.

Heavier, yes! bulkier? Meh. I never thought so. Try a shorter (3”) barrel for concealed carry. It’s awesome, my 3” shoots just as well as my 5” at ccw type defensive ranges, you get .45 inch holes in things, and it makes a wonderful blunt object when you’re out of ammo.- Gun Talk
