I treat everyone the same until they show they want to be treated differently. Most of the women I've flown with were part of the team...only a small percentage of them required special treatment.

Two words: DAV codes.

The official email a few months ago was STRD of 1998/1999 for O-5 365s an 2002 for O-4 365s. If the O-5 list has already jumped to 2001...fence in quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

What Fuzz said. Piss poor idea. There is more than $125B in annual waste in the AF. But our "leaders" had the report shitcanned instead of fixing the waste.

You mean like certain people holding up 10-page AFIs for several years because they just can't be bothered to read them and concur?

Even though I'm certain Chang is a troll, I had a commander a few assignments ago who was pulled out of his command tour for the "good deal" AFPAK Hands program. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Sorry...the article required me to answer a survey before I could read it on my phone. So I closed the link.

Reading AFI 36-2005 might help, since it is the ref that prescribes the form. Also, the official AF Form 24 can be found at https://www.e-publishing.af.mil/?txtSearchWord=Af24&btnG.x=14&btnG.y=11&client=AFPW_EPubs&proxystylesheet=AFPW_EPubs&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&output=xml_no_dtd&site=AFPW_EPubs Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

The reason for the $35K/$34K split is Congress. The NDAA markup mandated "targeted" $35K bonuses. This way the AF can follow the law and still max the bonus as much as possible. Dumb? Yes. But the law is the law. Sent from my iPad using Baseops Network Forums

Any rumors that there could be a second bonus for old farts who have completed their 5-year prison term? Sent from my iPad using Baseops Network Forums

I heard similar from someone high up at HAF. If you read the Senate markup you'll see that the Senate shot down the $48K because they didn't believe there was a retention problem.

By the way...stuckindayton is right. Lackland pays the click fee for those 20-40 eyes five days a week. They have really impressive top of the line equipment that most civilian eye doctors don't have because the costs are too high. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

LASIK is generally available to the public for a lower cost than PRK. I had wavefront guided PRK at Lackland which would cost around $5000/eye if I'd had it done at a civilian center. Wavefront guided LASIK would have been about 1/5th of the cost per eye. The docs at Lackland do around 10-20 surgeries a day. They recommend PRK or LASIK based on your particular eyes. Don't get stuck on one procedure or the other. But read about both to know what you're getting into. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Email chain from some guy at SAF from my awesome local finance person.

DTMO just overruled AF Finance and told them they were ing stupid. New off-base rule: "the member that elected to not use available government quarters will now be reimbursed based on actual expense up to the on base lodging rate." Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

It says that. But has anyone here ever seen it on their report or someone else's after 60 days?

False. GTC doesn't show on your credit report at all.
