General assignments questions
Prior Personnel guy here. As soon as anything is updated in MilPDS, it'll be viewable immediately in vMPF. As stated above SURF's are just snapshots of MilPDS every few weeks.

No more off base TDY reimbursement
I don't think you'd like a lawyer telling you how to fly, lawyers don't like pilots telling them how to interpret law. If you think CC's don't consult the base JA for almost every piece of paperwork they issue someone (especially in AETC), then I have some beach front property to sell you in Wyoming. Also if you knew anything about how IG complaints worked, which it sounds like you don't, the first question they ask you is "have you tried to resolve this through your chain of command?" Good luck.

B-52 LOSES engine over North Dakota
Do you guys have an Engine Failure Assist that deflects the rudder if you lose an engine on takeoff or landing? The KC-135 has one if an outboard engine is lost.
