If you got a shit ton of taxes taken out of your DITY, then you obviously didn't provide them enough receipts from your move...or they ######ed it up. My first DITY they taxed the entire amount instead of the profit. After they ######ed it up, I owed the government $600 for my move. Nothing like having to print the regs for some shoe who can't do their job right and having to teach them how to do it... They should follow these basic steps to determine your tax: 1) Miles X Pounds X Rate = Incentive Payment. 2) Gas + Tolls + Rental(s) + Oil(etc) = Amount You Spent. 3) Incentive Payment - Amount You Spent = Profit. 4) Incentive Payment - (Profit X Tax Rate) = Amount They Pay You. Taxes should not be taken from DLA.

What if the A/C is running on full cold?

They are all going to hate you for the noisy shitting machine you have just given the FTU..

I think it has the be OCONUS TDY to count.

I am in complete support of the People for Eating Tasty Animals.

There is no such thing as a "good job declawing a cat." it is equivalent to cutting someone's fingers off at the first knuckle, and if you think they need to be declawed, perhaps you shouldn't have a indoor cat...put it outside and let it keep the claws.

You, sir, are my hero. Even moreso if you actually intended to say arc instead of arch.

The car buying service is awesome.

I guess no one remembers the Redux fiasco? They already tried this once...they set it up to automatically roll everyone into Redux, only to be later told they had to offer the option for the 50% base pay or the lump sum plus 40% base pay. I would have to go digging, but I believe it took a legal challenge, but the last time they tried "no grandfather clause" it didn't work out so well for them.

Easy way: focus on reading the 20/70 line, and no waiver needed!

The GI Bill website has the following information: http://www.gibill.com/news/flight-training-now-covered-by-post-911-gi-bill-333.html Looks like a good deal to me. Thanks for the heads up!

FYI--this is how our neighbors to the north do it (sts). http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dgcb-dgras/ps/pen/reg/ap-ar/scenario-eng.asp Of course, they do allow Captains to stay in as long as they want...which provides some people who are SMEs, but as many or more slugs who are just there for the paycheck. It is a mixed bag really.

Any system not allowing for grandfathering will be challenged in court just like the bullshit known as redux.

Perhaps we can finally stop with the waste of time CBTs and just get over the fact that people are people and all can serve their country.

Here comes the war with China...

Can't be...he would have been belligerent and wound up arrested for shooting his mouth off.

He shaved it off when directly ordered to...

They do make long versions of the suit you know...

You know, for all the bitching about the changes... How did people miss this gem: Dear shoes, thank you for finally un######ing the "wear your blues to fly commercial."

As I understand it, you're eligible for retirement on 1 Feb 2016. Therefore, I would think either the line, "Majors who will qualify for retirement within five years of the convening date of the board shall normally be continued," or the line, "However, as we are in a period of force reductions you normally should not continue an officer with negative quality indicators documented in his or her record, or who will not qualify for retirement within five years of the convening date of the board, or who does not have a critical skill described above, unless it is clearly in the best interests of the Air Force to do so," applies to your situation. I guess it all depends on what they consider "negative quality indicators documented in his or her record," but I'd sure as hell be raising a stink in your situation.

You know, the policies have changed...he's allowed to do a male junk check, if that is his inclination.

Winning!

@bullet, The Marine Harriers that provided CAS in the rescue of the F-15E in Libya took off from the USS Kearsarge. It was definitely an austere location just miles away...
