Has the bullethole gotten worse? Didn't think that was possible without more people!

https://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/24/16127090-syria-activists-several-die-after-assads-forces-use-poisonous-gases?lite Been watching this since late last night. Still iffy....

There is no choice ... you are fed a pro-biotic, piss warm soup that looks like pale snot 3 meals a day. Watch the first Matrix ... it's a lot like that stuff. But during basic there is usually the 2-week period where they only allow peanuts, gluten, milk, and shelfish to weed out the weak swimmers.

The places that aren't price gouging have been sold out for a little while. Recommend waiting 6 months until things settle out.

30 Round PMAGs are now over $100 on ebay (if you have a few laying around and need some extra Christmas scratch).

After you get out and have 8 kids and are authorized 20k lbs and just bought the retirement ranch. The HOR move is good forever .... But only once.

don't burn your HOR move to haul 1000lbs of new wifey frilly things. You'll need that move later and it will be much more valuable later.

It was a very effective jink and spoiled the gun shot ....

Anyone in the know at Langley for ACC?

I may be dense (likely), but why are we hell bent on a progressive tax system? Why should I pay a higher PERCENTAGE for making more money? If the rates were flat, I would contribute more actual dollars the more I make .... But I still don't get why I should pay a higher percentage for being successful. What's the history/genesis of this line of thinking?

Why doesn't this suprise me (or anyone else). You're ability to concisely demonstrate just how deep your idiocy runs is amazing.

They changed suppliers a few years back and mandated that they use American parts and labor. The end result is a single supplier that coats their goat leather with what appears to be brown vinyl. If you have an older generation jacket, don't lose it or let it get stolen by Egyptian movers .... The replacement sucks.

Lincoln was definitely worth the $8.50 and two hours. I think ddl will probably bag another Oscar along with a few other folks.

$5 it's the same IP addy as "Sweet I'm a Dumbass"

Been there, done that, would recommend. Although not as footloose and fancy-free as it once was still a great 1-year vacation ending in an opr that says 'commander' Great deal for the senior enlisted troops on the team as well (for all the thread lurkers)

I put up ... Your turn or stfu while men talk

If you didn't hear about it, it couldn't have happened. (are you my wife?)

Anyone have any idea if there's a push anywhere to extend the 75 day max balance after fy12? (Before i start burning leave)

I did that for a while when the blues Monday policy came out .... 3 day weekends all the time are sweet

I'll feed the troll, and maybe we can turn this into an introduction and credibility thread. I'm Pete HOSS Harris, an Aggressor at Nellis. I've been flying vipers since 2002, to include lots of FMS experience. I was a T38 FAIP at Columbus prior, and casual at Andrews prior to SUPT. I personally know several regulars here, and professionally know of quite a few more. And you are? ... (edited to remove some stupid from the quote)

Don't ask open ended questions then. Ask ' what is the total GCC to move xx,xxx pounds from a to b?'

That should be easy for TMO to look up over the phone. Realize it should include the cost of the line haul, pack, unpack, and a 10% weight allowance for packing materials (or actual weight if you reweigh the 'trash'). I'm guessing it would include cost of the packing materials (boxes, tape, blankets, etc) since I know the govt pays that on a regular move (and the boxes ain't cheap), but I can't back that part up with paperwork. TMO should be able to answer all these questions for you with actual dollar amounts so make an appointment. Once they give you the Numbers, reference the jftr. Trust but verify!

Don't forget he's been featured in prestigious magazines!

Why not a full DITY? Take the money and hire movers to move your stuff wherever you want. Bet you can get a better rate than the govt to offset the longer distance.

Read the JFTR. A lot of 'living off base' expenses are covered, to include a lot of things you wouldn't naturally think to claim. You have almost $1600 a month to work with.
