Promotion and PRF Information
Holy Shit. There are so many things wrong with that. Reminds me of how nuke base ORIs used to give equal weight to the condition of the base laws and the nuclear readiness of the flying squadron.

Promotion and PRF Information
Based on those stats, it sounds like if you get DG at SOS your reward is no masters requirement. Who's up for practicing FLEX rather than practicing your FLUG brief?

Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Q&A
Shooting for a lower tax bracket may not be worth it in your situation. Remember that it's only those dollars above the line that get taxed at the higher rate. If you are $1 over the 25% bracket, only that last dollar is taxed at 25%. It also doesn't matter when you make your contribution as long as it's in the same tax year. You dont have to time contributions to coincide with deployed months. Simple strategy should be : if you are deployed for much of the year, only contribute to Roth ira/TSP in that year. Traditional Iras are barely better than brokerage funds during deployed years. And to answer one of your questions, have you considered a Roth ira? Tax wise it's the same as the Roth TSP but just has lower contribution limits.

Wouldn't shooting a meteor with a missile just make the situation worse?

More good press... $1 billion wasted on Air Force computer system
There are companies out there that develop billion dollar software programs all the time. There are methods and practices that make sure they stay on budget and on time. I would expect an organization as big as the USAF to be able to do this as well, but DTS, PEX, SORTS, DEERS, etc. shows that we are not capable of developing software. We shouldn't be allowed to anymore. Outsource it to the Harvard grads who work at Microsoft. It'd cost less and be better in the end.

A non rated MX officer will get an opportunity to command far before a rated pilot would. Same with many career fields.
