Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
It is in the reg. You pay it back for any unserved time...at the full rate. Sure, you got $18,750 due to the tax of 25% but you owe the full $25,000 back (if you don't serve the year, i.e. Get out the day after getting paid your latest installment).

KC-46A Info
-10s are gone starting 2019. Not low key at all. I'd say McGuire transitions first and then Travis.

Mask is BS. You have IDE in res in your duty history. Historically in res = get promoted.

Finance Problems
$3.50/day per diem (full for the travel day in and out of theater). No Imminent Danger Pay unless flying over countries where it still exists...then it is on a per day basis. Still a combat zone tax exclusion area...that takes Congress to "fix." Family Separation pay if you have dependents. Don't remember how much the monthly Hardship Duty Pay was. Either $50, $100, or $150 a month.

Finance Problems
If $3.50 is directed on your orders then you must check the OCONUS incidentals box to force $3.50 a day. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

Finance Problems
If $3.50 OCONUS incidentals is not on your orders before you leave for the TDY...then you get regular incidentals. Meals are provided except for any duty-related missed meals. Travel days are full per diem. If you are chopped to AFCENT, then then $3.50 applies since it is on the CED orders. Once in CENTCOM, you only get $3.50 a day even on travel days except travel in and out of the AOR. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

VA Loans
My first NBKC loan was sold to Citi. It was mostly good (Citi can't calculate an escrow payment for shit though). My second was sold to CENLAR. Please, please, please...never sell a loan to CENLAR again. Their website/payment system/communications are terrible. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network Forums

The Congressman is back yo
There is a recent record of proceedings that said something along the lines that SASC told the AF they could go themselves if they wanted $60K or even $48K and they should feel lucky they got $35K. Something else about how they wanted info on QOL fixes because they didn't think throwing money at it would fix the retention.

New BAH rates are out.
McCain had the 65% BAH or whatever it was mentioned in the article. He never had the 100% that we are used to. I remember when my BAH in NorCal was ~700/mo and my apartment in the ghetto was $1100/mo. The next year was better, but that first year was tough. For comparison, my BAH in MS during UPT (same year) was $640/mo.

AF/A3 seemed pretty on fire about more money solves the problems...

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
There are also a lot of MAF O-5 Sq/CC types who are very challenged to get the toilet bowl because they spent so much time on staff / at school they never got the hours or the gate months to earn their final set of wings.

Don't they have the option to keep you in until your UPT commitment is up even if you decline continuation?
