Haha, she references the "Get on my horse" video as pornograhic.

I will have around 370 days left on my ADSC at the end of my current overseas assignment. Is there any reg or policy that would prevent the air force from sending me on a 365 after my assignment is up if I choose to separate at the end of my ADSC? IE, is the military required to give you a certain amount of time to job search or use leave or something?

Was there ever a time when CC calls were valuable?

You did the Sos readings?

Every time I visit this thread I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Back to f-16s?

Almost everyone on this board is upfront about what their airframe and qualifications are. Many have them in their profile, in their name, or in their signature block. Many people post in the track selection area when they receive their drop. There are endless examples. Are you even an aviator? People from all career fields are active on this board, but the non-pilot types generally stay in their lane with regards to rated specific advice. You lack credibility. If you're a MSgt, I'm not going to listen to your advice about OPRs. If you're a cadet, I'm not going to listen to your advice at all. If you actually want to contribute to this board, which is pretty questionable, I would think you would want to establish why people should listen to you. "You can read what I type, and figure out if you agree or if you think it is garbage." - Nobody is going to listen to an anonymous internet poster without an established track record unless they establish their credibility. I might as well go and read Youtube comments.

His lack of reading comprehension and common sense strongly point to him being a mid to high-level manager in our Air Force. Or a USAFA cadet. Could go either way I guess.

Oh, you guys do all of that to make a difference? Here I am thinking you guys are mostly acting selfishly in order to further your careers. Glad you came here to straighten us out.

nsplayer, To your first question: yes, Roth contributions with deployment tax free money makes a lot of sense (you'd never pay taxes on it). I would add this though - if you're deployed for 6 months of a given year, does it matter *when* you put the money in? At the end of the year, you're just going to add up all of your tax free earnings and and deduct it from your gross income. You aren't going to specify when you contributed to an ira/tsp. The money in the Roth is not going to be taxed when you take it out regardless, and the amount you put in will be the same. I don't think there's any difference between putting the money in an IRA/tsp during a month when you're deployed or putting it in during a month when you're home, as long as those months are both in the same year. If I'm wrong, chime in.

I had the same question today when I started my Roth TSP. I can't remember any of the TSP information I set up years and years ago, and the TSP website sent me in circles with the information about how to get my account info. Has anybody obtained their account number and PIN recently? Is there any other way to change your fund allocation? Can you readjust your allocation once there is money in there, or is it stuck in whatever fund you put it in to begin with?

I thought this was an interesting nugget from the AFPC stats site: 2012 ACP Agreements Finalized by Base BASE CREECH Pilot - Takers: 20% (3) - Nontakers: 80% (12) DATA AS OF: 30AUG12 The rest of the "By Base" data is pretty interesting as well. Less than 40% are taking the bonus at Luke, Seymour, and Tyndall, while the Pentagon and Maxwell are both above 90%.

I intentionally break grooming standards everyday when I clip a knife to my flight suit and attach a finger light to my zipper. Maybe I deserve an article 92 for failure to obey a regulation.

Really? I appreciate what the jet can do, but I can't name an airframe doing less "mission".

Yes! The F-16 is best at something finally!

Ha. And this is going to happen when? With what RTU capacity?

We are creating pretty exceptional O-4s and O-5s though.

I would like to see a study done showing the AAD and PME completion rates for the individuals deemed causal for class A mishaps in the last couple of years.

Landing at night requires a waiver. Flying at night does not.

What a stupid ######ing system.

However, on a promotion board, guess which one matters more.

Yeah, getting pulled out of an SOS test to fly - sounds horrible.

And by tested, you mean "tested".

It also has to do with this (which started about 6 months ago):
