What's wrong with the Air Force?
Non-line vs Line. Old mentalities. Broken systems. DOPMA. The list goes on. Lots to fix and Fingers ain’t gonna cut it. Just look at AMC...they released a 120 page supplement of ADDED material to 11-202...to reduce pubs. This is in addition to another 100+ page 11-2MDS that will only shrink maybe 20 pages. The machine just doesn’t care. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

It is probably similar to retired pay. It starts a month later for some reason too. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Reserve 135’s Shifting to 4 Month Taskings?!?!?!
So I read this memo...and it says: The rotations a unit are responsible for are 120 days and commanders can split them up. If you get told to deploy...you get dwell protection. If you volunteer to deploy you don’t get dwell. Seems to be not a big change...since you already don’t get dwell for volunteering. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Credit Cards / Cash Back & Rewards Options
I got a surprise email today from them that they were refunding all the interest already paid as a loan credit and reducing my monthly payment due to no new interest accrual/payments. Probably the same phone number as their loan department. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Credit Cards / Cash Back & Rewards Options
Amex Platinum holders are eligible for a loan from Amex. The rates weren’t great or terrible...but Amex applies their internal SCRA policy to the loans. 0% interest and no fees. Pretty swank for an unsecured loan. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The new airline thread
Be upfront and honest. Set your date to the best of your knowledge based on your situation / expectation for the future timeline. If it changes because you haven’t been hired on a particular timeline and you have to pursue your mil training...explain it as soon as you know what your new timeline is. People run into problems when they set an availability they had no intention of making and then changing it after the CJO. I’m sure more can chime in.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
It’s also a federal Schedule 1 drug. It is still a federal crime to possess regardless of state laws. Should that change? Probably. But until it does...having a medical marijuana license still means you’re not allowed to have firearms and many other issues. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Going ANG/Res after passed over twice for Lt Col in AD
Matches the AFRC. Don’t know about the OPR thing but a friend of mine only had 11 months in the AFRC so he was essentially deferred a year to be promoted to O-5. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Chances of staying as a pilot?
Stract—good but outdated information. They just “fixed the glitch” for gate months. “3.9.3.4. Flight time logged IAW AFI 11-401 and MAJCOM supplement in a certified flight simulator counts for operational flying duty accumulator requirements, aviation incentive pay entitlement, and aeronautical ratings for rated officers. Exception: Flight surgeons must fly in an aircraft to log flight time for conditional aviation incentive pay entitlement and advanced aeronautical ratings. (T-1).” Good news, everyone! You’ll be able to gain gate months on staff by going to the sim. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Anyone used Turo on a TDY and gotten reimbursed?
Turo is not the “electronic system” DTS is. That is why TMC is secondary. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Fifteen seconds Googling “DTS rental car” led to an answer. Note the key words “with a DTMO rental agreement.” So, if Turo has one of those then you’re good to go. If they don’t? Well, it depends on your AO and the people who audit your travel. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Didn’t say it was illegal. Just a good way to get in trouble. I incorrectly assumed what I’d heard from Delta bros was something that could affect everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app
