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.

Taint none. But it's a good idea to tie them down in windy spots like Vegas and, evidently, Vermont.

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.

By the 3-day option rules in the nightmare separations/assignments AFI, if you 3-day opt a 365 you have to set a date of separation that is at most 7-12 months in the future, depending on how far along you are.

All good stuff, but it extensively mentions "reserve commissioned" officers. I was originally a reserve commission officer, but I'm 99.69% sure it became a regular commission when I pinned on major (or maybe captain). Any standard 1 each active duty line officers have recent experience or knowledge with the sanctuary gig?

Gents-- Approaching a decision in a few short years and wanted to get the correct answers without derailing other threads. I've looked through the separations AFI, and the best I can make of that nightmare of tables and notes is 12 months max time from telling big blue no on an assignment or TDY. I keep hearing about sanctuary at 18 yrs. how does it work? What is the reference/source document? (since if it becomes an issue I will undoubtedly have to learn how to do a personnelist's job in intimate detail)

So the bottom line is avoid ECARs?

Everyone I see boarding the plane in flipping floppies, or worse, is a potential speed bump.

It's classic knee-jerk over compensation. Rather than focus on the few bad apples, or illegal sexual assault, or even just inappropriate sexual conduct the management (as demonstrated by recent posts) has WAY overshot and wants to crush anything that is even vaguely related to sexuality at all. Welcome to institutional compulsory über-prudishness everyone. Next few years ought to be awesome.

Am I correct in assuming that you would consider Friday night in the squadron bar "at work"?

One nugget that came out of the Tsgt smith lawsuit (I read it, I have that sort of time), is "amazing horse" on YouTube. Worth the bandwidth. You're welcome.

Dibs on the lifeboat!

Warrior monks. That'll work out great.

Fuck You (That is all)

Wrong. One of the few lasting traditions. That and winning despite the best efforts of REMF shoes.

Give a try sometime. Your boyfriend might enjoy it /Zing! //not that there's anything wrong with that

Well maybe not RIGHT now.... Eh? /inside joke //ha!

For those that wonder where a moral "right and wrong" hierarchy come from WITHOUT a religious underpinning (or dictate), I would suggest taking a freshman level college philosophy course. //Pastifarian

Aaaannnddd we've come full circle.

Buy the biggest boat you can't afford!

We're headed towards the last episode of Seinfeld

Just moved to Panama City. Usaa wouldn't insure outright (old house in fl) and the rate from their agency (I forget the underwriter) was double others. They won't directly insure florida houses that don't meet the 2002 (?) Miami building codes (that most of fl has adopted). I've used usaa for homeowners in other areas (sc, az) and was pleased with both their rates and service on claims.

Remember everyone, "Shoe Clerk" is not a job ... "Shoe Clerk" is a mindset and attitude. "Shoe Clerk" is a 2-hour lunch or taking gym time when there's actual mission to be done. "Shoe Clerk" is surfing Facebook while someone stands waiting at the customer service desk. "Shoe Clerk" is closed for training and not actually getting any better. "Shoe Clerk" is saying 'no' rather than actually trying to help people or solve the problem. "Shoe Clerk" is thinking the bureaucracy and/or the processes are more important than the results. Don't be a Shoe Clerk. It's a decision YOU make.

$0.24/mile PER vehicle. So if you have 2 cars and the Frau is on your PCS orders, that's $0.48/mile regardless of when you drive (together/separate). Ops checked 6 weeks ago.

Only valid if your dependents are on your PCS orders (i.e. an accompanied tour). Also only valid in CONUS (although I don't know about OCONUS to OCONUS like moving within Europe).
