Can anyone verify if I turn down this deployment I can still be forced to go regardless of extending past my ADSC? CC told me that today however he didn't know the reg. Separations folks were worthless talking to them today. Further I still don't have any email notification of this deployment.

Thanks for the intel. I was told the training was supposedly waived so I can go at the end of the month as well. I've also got more intel from other bros about the job and it's looking like a real kick to the junk.

A- Not sure if it was official since it was over the phone but sure sounded like it. B- Check. Did that. C- Hope so! Thanks for the info but i'm thinking this is a 179+ thus handled by the OG at my base.

Our OG keeps a tracker for 179/365's. Last I looked the previous month i was in the lower 50% for 179s and in the bottom 10% for 365s out of 30ish folks eligible. With 8 deployments, over 3 years overseas TDY/deployed and a STRD of 2012 i'm still scratching my head how i'm short man on the totem pole.

Don't know yet man. Just got back from a trip this morning, woke up and had a call from the CC. Still on post mission so no papers in hand yet. More to follow tomorrow. Apparently they knew days ago but waited till i got back from overseas to tell me. 🙄 Purpose for this post is trying to find the regs governing a deployment without ADSC and separating. I've been combing thru the 36-2110 but don't think it applies to a 179+

I'd rather separate and get an airline gig and hope to get hired on with a guard unit to finish my 20 than to waste away in the desert for another 7 months. YMMV but i've done enough deployments in my time to know when it's worth it and it's not.

Gents, digging this one up for some SA and latest guidance. Just got tagged a 220+ air advisor deployment and trying to find my options. ADSC is up in October, retirement eligible Jan 2020. I'd rather separate than take this one. Is it even possible to 3 day opt at this point if i already got notified?

Glad I'll be retired by the time the mandatory wear date takes place.

Nope! The FBO there will get you out to the rental car place and you book your own hotel in town. Park Inn by Radisson is pretty nice. Suggest you also check out the Blue Lagoon if you have the time. You'll need to buy tickets for it ASAP as they book up quick. bluelagoon.com is their website. I was just there last year so let me know if you want more info.

Happens every year this time. System overloaded. Standard ops.

Wait, so now the flight pay bump from 6 to 14 years aviation service moved to 10 years aviation service? And it's been effective since last April? Looks like i'll be getting some back pay coming.

ers this should be about who should get paid more if you have dependents or not. This thread should be about the year to year ass raping DOD has doled on its members by screwing us out of pay for housing. Housing that in many cases has gone up and we continually get paid less.

Charleston: Down $200 on average while housing rates continue to go up. Thanks a lot cocksuckers.

GFY. Thanks for your service.

Shaw. That place is terrible. I'd take Creech any day over that place. Never been to Cannon so can't say if it's better than that. If the Air Force was concerned about QOL they could have picked from dozens of other bases. This sounds like some SC congressman lobbying for their area.

Up $140 in CHS. I'll take it.

Unfortunately you're incorrect with regards to sending an appraiser out prior to 95%. It can be done with a little more effort on the bank/builders part (a few more docs and a revisit verifying completion by the appraiser). Furthermore the appraisal wasn't even ordered until the schedule completion date and VA appraiser times are 7 business days. Your agent should have at least ordered the appraisal the week prior. Thanks but i've already talked to one of your senior managers who did not do much to help. Water under the bridge at this point.

It's code 1. Just stating a point.

Chang is nothing but a troll. I'd trust a wet fart over the words he spews as truth.

Just like the flat rate perdiem that was enacted a couple years ago, this is nothing but an erosion to military member compensation. I'd estimate that for each year of savings they could probably build 69% of a F-35.

That's how it reads. So you will no longer get compensated for utilities as what the current BAH is suppose to provide. My retirement date can't come soon enough.

Senate version passed earlier today with BAH reduction included. I'd advise to call your representatives and start voicing your opinion. There will be no grandfathering in this program. Any PCS after 1 Jan 18 and you'll have to work with the new system.

Would not recommend NBKC. Worst experience I've had dealing with a bank. Closing was delayed over 7 day due to the bank not properly scheduling a VA inspection in a timely manner. We had 40+ days to close from entering into contract for a new home build and was guaranteed the close date would be met. $200 penalty from the builder for every day after close we were late. Bank refused to provide additional lender credit to pay for their mistake. I was fortunate enough to work a loophole on the builders side (complained house was not complete) that I got them to drop the fee. Loan agent would avoid my calls/emails when trying to figure out what the status was with the inspection that we were waiting for. Loan manager was no help in trying to close quickly either. Assumed no responsibility for how badly this was handled. On the second established closing day I still had to wait until an hour prior to closing to get all the docs to the lawyer even though the inspection was complete 5 days prior. Even after the original close date the bank was asking for extra forms/letters from me, which should have been requested weeks prior. Buyer beware.

Correct, however if lodging is available on base then you will only receive the on base lodging rate. Also when the chow hall finally opens then you will only get proportional rate for meals. At least that's how I interpret it. Correct me if i'm wrong.

New reg is nothing but a money grab. I see no advantages to the member. Still can be required to stay on base and even if no chow hall you only get 75 or 55%. Off base is no better.
