No, I'm not taking it too personal. I shot one message back to Learjet for his dumbass comment, and then I get attacked. I've tried to fix the process at my base. After 4 years of continually getting shitty service at it, I've pretty much given up. Next base starts with a clean slate. I don't hold a grudge against any particular section AF wide. Each base has it's own crappy sections. If I end up back at LR, then I'm happy. They've had the best finance section I've ever dealt with. My current base, sucks donkey dick. Sorry but that's the truth. Rainman, totally agree on the last point. But without beating a dead horse, there is no such person that I've found at my base's finance section. Other places, I've got names and know the people who can get something done quickly if I need them to jump through hoops.

You shouldn't have any PTL's now right? All civilian all the time? just curious.

"2" I love that my wing is now adding PT score to their "Rack and Stack" It's not enough that I've busted my ass to get my PME done, upgrade in my weapons system, get my masters, and work my ass off every day I come in. If my PT test show that I've got a 79, and the other dude who may not even have half of that done, but scores a 90 gets the better jobs/assignment preference, then we've totally lost our focus. "Rant off"

And in from left field with the third most useless comment on this post is busdriver. busdriver, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Unless he's about 65 years old, it's impossible to get those numbers. You'd fail the PT test by simple measure of having a 41 inch waist. Try again and next time, give us the whole story.

Do any of you actually read? I never said I wanted an apology from DFAS for missing a debt that I might or might not owe that's over 4 years old. But when I walk into Finance with a 1 inch stack of papers to show them how they tried to fuck me out of over $5,000 and I get a deer in the headlight look, then I'd like a small, "I'm sorry." Or I expect some effort from my local finance office when I ask to trak down LES's from 4+ years ago about a 4+ year old debt, and instaed of getting that information, they tell me they checked my pay records and see no debt for the last 3 years. Last I checked, 4 doesn't equal 3. Then again, with math skills like that, maybe that's why all my travel vouchers keep coming back fucked up. Again, since neither USAFpilot, or Rainman have any command of the english language when you see where I say, "I'd like" that doesn't mean "I DEMAND" Back to your regularly schedule lives.

Who pissed in your Wheaties this morning Rainman? I don't have the best command of the English language, but the word retribution is no where in my post. All I'd like is an apology. And most of the time, I don't get that. I know I have to do their job, I came to terms with that at my first operational assignment. Fix the process? Did you actually say fix the process? If finance could fix the process, we wouldn't have a thread dedicated to http://www.flyingsquadron.com/forums/index.php?/topic/618-temporary-duty-tdy-info-claims-vouchers-rentals-bah/ that is 11 pages long. Yes there would be questions, but the majority of the posts on that thread are bitching about how finance (and lodging) continues to try and screw up paying what are legitimate claims/vouchers. I don't expect everyone on base to be as smart or as high speed as OPs (your words when theis comes back to bite me) but I do expect that there is at least 2-3 people in every organization who will go out of their way to fix problems, and when they've taken care of it, and see that it's a continuing problem in their unit, try to get it fixed so the next guy doesn't get fucked over like the rest of us have. I've been around the block long enough to know how to handle myself around these situations. And a last clarification, what I meant by remedial training was to be taken care of behind closed doors. Misplaced the qoutes. Sorry about that.

I do follow up with that. The problem is that when the system bends you over and has it's way with you, even if they're wrong, you don't get a "Sorry we screwed up. I'll make sure (insert rank here) Snuffy is given additional training." You get a scowl and a dirty look that I actually took the time to do their job and did it better than they could.

You've herad the rumors, you've said, "No way" there's no way they can PT test in the desert. Well ladies and gentlemen, it's official. Starting 1 October, desert PT testing is here. Read the attachment and enjoy. Yet another reason not to deploy. AFCENT PT POLICY.pdf

I know that there are some good troops in Finance. It's just that they are few and far between. Of my 6 bases that I've been at in 10 years, there's only one that cuts the mustard. And that's Little Rock. Now if only they could send some of the troops from LR to Pope and fix the mess that exists there, I'd probably have no reason to gripe.

Feel free to stop by and get me when you're in the mood to crush some Shoes.

If you want to base it off of quarters, like MWR stuff and the like, and I"m totally serious here. Thumrait goes to option ZZ. There's nothing there, and it's in the middle of BFO (Bum Fuck Oman). I hate the Deid with a passion however, it's got the best of everything you're looking for. Ali would be my first choice, but then again, I don't have to drink in the desert, most people love the idea of still having beer and liquor, which is why they pick the Deid. I hear that Salem is getting to be as bad as it is out here at the Deid (aka Land of the Shoe Clerks) but have no conformation of that.

As requested. I post this fully knowing that I don't care who downloads it or who sees that i put it up here. Download away.IC-2 AUABI 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance for Air Force Personnel.pdf Just to ask this question for those of you out here. Do we really need a "Hail and Fairwell" in the desert? Only been here for 4 months, and you need a parrty to tell you that you did a good job? Really? How about a pat on the back, 6 beers your last night here, and maybe a medal if you deserve it, not just because you were out here. Hail and Fairwell in the desert.....I hate to ask this question, but what's next?

I'll have to work tonight to get it. If you need any hints on how to really screw with their heads, PM me and I'll check my account in about 10 hours.

The only reason no one knows we're here is because the trees that are put up to block the site of those aircraft and the base that can be seen from the major highway. I’m sure that no one who works here (TCN) ever talks about the “Huge American Flying Base” that is located here.

Only commenting because of my frequent misspellings.....if you mean who's as in "who is" versus whose, as in "whose shirt is untucked" then you would be right. And I love the fact that we're too fucking cheap to actually fix broken door knobs and shitters without seats, or bolts to hold those seats in place, but we've got the dollars to spend $3,000 a piece for new solar lights between the CC and the Better Person's Compound. Oh yeah, and the walkway as well......I love misplaced priorities.

I understand that humor and the asswisery here. Hence the reason I didn't comment on M2's post. I also know better than to question a Mod as well. However, when a SNAP like Learjetter pipes in with "Well if it;s legit, why not pay it", it kinda begs a reply that I'm trying to find out if it is legit. I'll take the Midol and gladly pass them off to your Mom. She was complaining about cramping after I had my way with her last night. Must be that she's not used to something so big. Have a great week.

It's gone on more than a few times. The brief that everyone gets about how to get in and out wasn't enough. We had to all get mandatory retraining, which amounted to a signature on a worthless piece of paper. That and the full size sheets of how to get in and out posted at every door now. Once again, a few people crap their pants, and the rest of us suffer. Why don't we actually make the people who screw things up worse off instead of the rest of us? What every happened to holding a person accountable?

If it applied to you, you'd understand. Go back to operating the gear Co and don't worry.

I'd like to thank those of you on the day shift at the CAOC that for some reason can't figure out how to not lockdown the facility. I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for the extra training. Thanks.

Is she really a few french fries short, or has she had too many orders of the Double Whopper with cheese AND french fries at Burger King?

I realize they mave taken it out already. That's what I'm still trying to track down. Again, if they've already taken it out, then it's not a legit debt. If they actually (legally) can't ask for the money back, it's not a legit debt. Apparently that train of thought has left the station for some people (Learjet). I know it's hard to follow that logic, but I understand how the system works. I'm hoping to get the rest of the answers soon.

Well, I said "think I have my answer" Still waiting on the rest of it. The first part is there is no limitation. But, don't have and LES's from that time frame to make sure that they didn't already take the money and are trying to get it again. Because that has never happened. Big Blue never makes a mistake when it comes to money. And, no, I'm fine. Been away from home too long and need to get back. Learjet is an asshole and I can't change that. Ask a simple question, and get a jackass response.

I'm pretty sure I was overpaid. I've got two deposits in my electronic checkbook. I was far away from any Air Force base with support to get any help. I'd like to thank all of you for weighing in with the smartass comments, I think I've got my answer. No, it's not a hardship, but if I don't have to pay Big Blue, I'm not going to pay Big Blue. Just thought there would be someone with more information out there than I have.

Learjettter.....Hey SNAP, go back into the corner and drink your Kool-Aid. I'll call you when I want the answer from the person who live in a bubble and can’t think outside the box. How about I'm trying to find out if it is legit? How about if they can't actually try and collect, then there's no reason to pay back something that I was paid 4+ years ago? How about if I’m not legally responsible to pay it back? I realize you can’t think that way, but I was asking a perfectly legit question. Go back to your Lear hauling around people who out rank you by about 6 levels and when you’ve grown up we’ll talk some more.
