Kind of hard to use my iPad when it's charging in the lav.

IIRC, AMC policy is min charge of 50% to fly with it, then 10% for every hour over a five hour flight. 100% charge required for >10 hours of flight/duty day. Charge the fucking thing before the first flight of each day. Problem solved.

Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Q&A
It takes a month for the change to take effect. Roth TSP became available 1 Oct, which means that the first month you can contribute to Roth TSP with MyPay is November. The government does not post your payment into TSP until the end of month paycheck. Therefore, if you elected a Roth TSP contribution in Oct, the pay would be withheld in November and deposited 1 Dec. Your mid-month LES should be lower than last month... Make sense?

SOS/ACSC information
https://www.au.af.mil/au/soc/course_20.html Eligibility. US armed forces officers (Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, and Civil Air Patrol) selected for the grade of captain (0-3) or above are eligible for enrollment into the SOS DL course. Federal civilian employees in the grades of GS-9, WG-10, WL-9, and WS-8 and above who possess regionally-accredited baccalaureate degrees and who have completed their probationary periods (that is, have finished one year as federal employees) may enroll. International officers and civilians may refer to AFI 36-2301, Paragraph 11.3 for enrollment criteria and procedures. There are no time-in-grade restrictions for any of the eligible categories. For example, the SOS resident program’s 7-year TAFCS restriction (ETCA 36-2223, formerly AFCAT) for active duty officers does not apply to this distance learning program.

Civilian clothes in the AOR
Only for IDP. Unless there is an actual shooting incident. IOIAP: There are accompanied tours to Bahrain, and there have been for many years. Weren't there also accompanied tours to PSAB back in the day?

Airman dies during survival training in Pensacola Bay
I have known Garrett for a very long time. Sadly, I lost touch with him. He was an exceptional person and officer. He will be missed.

Appealing a promotion board
But that's a sunk cost! The AF is saving ~$327,000 per 1Lt twice passed over and ~$6,600 per 1Lt once passed over! How is it not a boon to our coffers????

Funny...our CSAF barely graduated with his 2.01 GPA and all. Guess those bottom 100 are terrible.

Appealing a promotion board
You are incorrect. Promotion boards are based on your potential for future performance. They are not a reward for past performance.
