Shack.

I'm guessing you're also not legally obligated to produce ID? Have you been through one of these checkpoints and refused to answer questions/hand over your ID immediately? If so did that go over better than what PYB did?

Ok, so you're stopped at one of these checkpoints and they ask for your ID and if you're a citizen. You show them your CAC and answer yes, but they start asking you more questions...YOU HAVE THE MINIVAN But seriously, I'm curious how you guys would handle it.

Care to elaborate?

Haven't seen this on here yet.

Word. Although, I would miss watching ol' Mack getting whipped every year.

quite the ambassador...

Are you kidding me? What's your real screen name?

Agreed. Who wears white after labor day anyways...

Agreed on the source. How does a teacher get from here: to here: BS article or not I have a hard time seeing them dressing students up as wives of David Koresh and telling them not to call what he did "rape" / "polygamy"

I completely agree with her. There is absolutely something being put in the water in California:

I just got off the phone with a lawyer and based on her interpretation of the law I will need to pay through the month of April and most likely a pro-rated amount for five days in May. Though this is the legal interpretation, she seemed to think if the leasing agent was a true red-blooded American then they would call it good the day I hand over my orders. Since I have fulfilled only a portion of the notice requirement (have given notice but have not yet supplied orders) then the "30 days after notice has been given" portion of the clause will not go into effect until the day on which I hand in a physical copy of my orders. Which means the lease won't terminate until May 5th. As you guys already pointed out, she called BS on the leasing agent trying to stick me (sts) with early termination penalties. Paying through April is definitely not ideal, but it beats the hell out of forking over $3k.

Understood. That was a less than intelligent way of saying what I was thinking. What I should have said is: I'm currently a civilian (who won't be on orders until 4/5, well after I will have moved out of the apartment) and I am not sure if base housing will be willing to help me when I haven't actually received orders yet.

Not much data to go on regarding flight trajectories of bus sized meteors... Hard to predict how the trajectory is going to change once it begins to enter the atmosphere and starts heating up/breaking apart. Not to mention how far in advance a shot would have to be launched to intercept something moving at that speed. If they have FCRs that can do that kind of work then I'm not sure why they're threatened by the Euro missile shield.

Billy, Thanks for the advice. I hadn't even given thought to bringing the BBB into it. I'm not prior enlisted or anything so I don't think base housing will be able to help me. In fact I think the nearest Air Force base is 3 hours away. Unless you're suggesting I call down to Maxwell and see what they can do for me? Currently living in Alabama for work.

Situation: I report for OTS April 9th. I will have Active Duty orders as of April 5th. I gave my leasing agent notice yesterday and in doing so referenced the Military Clause portion of the lease (notice given 54 days prior to OTS report date, but 50 days prior to actually receiving orders) and they said "that clause only applies if you're being shipped over seas, and going to actively* fight for our country". Which based on this thread sounds false. They then proceeded to add up a bill of $3040 in fees for me to terminate the lease early. I spoke with the office manager today and she claimed that if the orders "check out with our lawyer" on April 5th, then I'll be required to pay through the month of April because their military clause states the lease will be terminated 30 days after they receive my orders. Luckily she said I won't have to pay early termination fees if the "orders check out"...hurray... My question is this: Was the office manager correct in her in her assertion that I will have to pay through the month of April, or will I be able to simply pay a pro-rated amount with the lease ending on April 5th? I will actually be moving my belongings (and thus vacating the premises) back home for storage March 9th, so I'm looking at finding an attorney (hopefully pro bono STS...) to clear this up before I move several states away. Any insight or advice that you guys can add on this situation would be greatly appreciated

Times are changing, technical writing classes are standard now, all the lab classes are based on both experiments and analytical writing skills. I see where you're coming from though, the classes standard now are no doubt due to the lack of writing skills engineers had in the past.

Actually, engineers write a large number of "extensive analytical papers" during college, or at least they do where I go Not sure where you guys went to school, but technical/analytical writing skills are required to be a successful engineer.
