  1. There are so many assumptions in Ramsey's edicts that just don't fit ... Especially my situation. High school grad, new/single E-2 sure .... And how does renting gain me down payment savings when I may minimum requirements that make a rental as much or more expensive than buying?? Requirements (needs, not wants). People that follow Ramsey blindly in all situations appear weak-minded to me.
  2. Buying a 20% cheaper home does not magically put money in your bank account with which to make a down payment.
  3. Care to elaborate? Any hot issues or surprises?
  4. It's "amazing horse" not "sweet lemonade" How else are folks going to find it on YouTube if you're improperly referencing it. And it's hilarious.
  5. Do your own legwork and figure out the replacement cost of damage. Submit claim thru DPS with supporting docs (that legwork part) Profit
  6. Make them deliver it. All of it. Then inspect and make your claim. Take lots of pictures. (If you accept their offer then they own the stuff they paid for)
  7. Gentlemen-- It is becoming painfully obvious that the management just doesn't get it. Tilting at windmills to solve perceived problems while doing little to solve actual problems. But YOU don't have to roll over and take it. YOU don't have to give up time honored traditions and roles. YOU don't have to be a part of transforming the Air Force into a corporation. YOU don't have to abandon the generations of craft and practice that have gotten us where we are. For the young uns .... Don't believe everything you hear. Opinions here do not necessarily reflect how good (or bad) things are in reality. /edit spellun and such //slashies
  8. Excuse my ignorance (I fly small pointy things)..... If you want a speed brake or lower idle, and you have variable pitch props, why can't you feather and/or slightly reverse them?
  9. This is dripping with sarcasm .. evidently you missed that. YOU go talk with your Gp/CC ... go talk to your Wg/CC. You don't have to be afraid of them ... they are, actually, real people.
  10. Signed by the o-7 and delivered to the board. (We got it corrected before the board convened)
  11. My prf for lt col ITZ, that I had zero input on, had a strong push for ACSC on the final line. It was also identical to 2 other prf's from dudes in my squadron Strong, inspiring attention to detail and a shining example of personal leadership from all involved.
  12. 1. Find a Pub that's older than the US and have a pint ... rinse, repeat. 2. Eagle pub in Cambridge 3. Swing by the RAF club (near buckingham) .... Hotel/Oclub. Lots of nice stuff on the walls, decent bar in the basement, good breakfast, and lots of OLD RAF dudes shuffling about with good stories. 4. Walk all over central london.

    Might as well get it in .357. She can still carry .38 to start, but it's "upgrade able" bullet-wise in the future for free
  14. Who wants in on the "which base will have the first late night gym rape allegations" pool? Maybe we could have roving SARC patrols late at night on base!
  15. It's as corrosive as soap bubbles and water.
  16. Get holloman housing to write you a receipt. I've done it with daily and monthly receipts, as well as a lease and receipts for payments. Then go read the JFTR. It's black and white and in your favor. When you read the JFTR, you'll find you can also be reimbursed for a cleaning lady, phone service, cable tv, etc. so dig up those receipts as well. Add as many legal, authorized expenses as you can until you get to $53 a day, then go talk to the first officer you can find at finance with JFTR in hand. Did I mention you should read the JFTR?
  17. Excellence through attrition is a valid gameplan. You CAN be the best of what's left!
  18. Which would mean separating prior to 20.
  19. So here's my understanding of things ... And someone with experience please chime in if there's more to add! Past 18 you cannot be kicked out without cause. You cannot be RIF'd, seperated for end-strength numbers, etc. HOWEVER, you can quit ... Either on purpose or unknowingly. Based on the chart of doom from the AFI, if you 3-day opt a 365 you have to set a seperation date that is, at most, 12-months in the future. So if you 3-day opt a 365 at the 18 year point (assuming you have the retainability, TOS wickets, etc to be selected for a 365 in the first place) you are, in effect, unknowingly volunteering to quit at 19 years. If anyone has any actual experience in this situation, please chime in.
  20. Taint none. But it's a good idea to tie them down in windy spots like Vegas and, evidently, Vermont.
  21. Tyndall has old seats. And a/b models, steam gauges, original motors, etc. It's a t38 from the good old days like your grandfather flew.
