If your orders don’t show I within a week of your departure, you aren’t Air Forcing correctly.

Repayment is not necessarily a given. My bonus didn’t have any up front cash options, but I separated 7 months after my annual payout anniversary and was told by finance as long as I had worked (earned) 50% of the bonus there would be no recoupment.
They haven’t taken anything back yet....
Just wait until the VA gets involved in your life. I know, apples and oranges , but not really, save it.

Everything old is new again, but this got me nerding out as well. If you are a fan of Star Trek, you’ll probably like this. I love to see Jeri Ryan at it again.

Today I was going to move my SP500 index fund holdings ~100k into a money market fund with the intent to move it back at next market correction.
First time I have exchanged things like this but I stopped and investigated when I got to the “taxable event warning”
I’ve dollar cost averaged into this fund for 10+ years at significant gain so Am i correct that I’ll pay capital gains of ~15%.
The realized gain is about $60k...am I going to get taxed for $9k if I make this exchange.
F-cking govt.

We got shut down on Airbnb and the like even when it saves money. Bummer.
FWIW, everywhere I've been Turo has been crazy expensive for anything decent.
But sometimes it’s worth it, got this last weekend in Los Angeles using Turo, rented for the weekend. Ferrari 488 GTB Spider.

Agree. However, our interests are served by 1. Not having Russia control everything up to the Chunnel and 2. Access to basing for refueling / transload / other stuff to access CENTCOM and AFRICOM. The difficulty is maintaining 1 and 2 with a pull out and the advancement of Russia.
And NATO knows this.

If the US walks away from NATO, it collapses leaving Europe on its own and the Europeans couldn’t unite to fight off a band of migrants let alone Russia. You think I’m joking but it’s a sad sad state of utter disorganization and incompetence throughout our European allies armed forces.

Well, that’s interesting. Who knew all we needed was Russian radar codes?
So they were undetected but they know they took pics of an underground facility, uh, how?

Yup, it set a precedent that you won’t get in trouble for doing it, therefore, the next guy can do it. I’m not saying it’s right, it should be shut down. Trump isn’t stupid, I bet he tries to shut the door on this, toward the end of his last term. If he does it near the election of 2020, it will be a pretty good sign he thinks he’s going to lose.

Prior to late 2014, if you heard a flight of two with the callsign HUGGY in the Western US, you can be assured that flight lead did all of the paperwork, coordination and such to make it happen. Absolutely!. No way he would just file that every time he went cross country without having run it through the AFI wickets.
I used to do this too, until a wise man told me how any safety report would read if I was involved in it......” MIP 1, Huggy 01........”.
So much for privilege and safety anonymity.

For locals, we could just make them up. Dude flew with FURLO last government shutdown.

I see two intentionally stalled C-17s in my comparison, didn’t think it was that hard.

The chances the camera was there during the sequence of events you explained makes it iffy. For those who don’t know, open source.

These fucks need to watch the Alaska crash video, they aren’t max performing anything, they are playing Russian roulette. If I was their CC I’d gather all the facts and if shown the pictures are correct, I’d Q3, ground and PCS the crew to a radar station in the arctic.

That's because they believe they are smarter than the rest of the force. They can't fathom the idea that others have already considered these options and either implemented or discarded them.
You might be right, I was at Shaw for 3+ years, longer than most at the time. I saw enough turnover for old, terrible ideas to become new ideas again. I voiced my opinion but as a Captain, was told shut up and color. Another example of why the ANG runs smoother in certain situations.

Because they don’t.
Frankly stated, this is what’s happened when fighter pilots of above average intelligence got free reign on ACC staff to explore new ideas about force presentation - they quickly got in over their heads and scoffed what the actual experts told them, coming up with “forward thinking” ideas that already exist, aren’t tactically or fiscally feasible, or have already been disproven. In this case - all three.

I must admit, I ran into more “good idea” fairy’s in the fighter pilot culture than others.

It’s also tough to judge because we don’t know your flying history, it’s possible you’ve been clean as a whistle, it’s possible you’ve had a few bumps along the way. If the latter is true, the CC may think this needs to be documented for future commanders and/or justify a future assignment or job. How many times have UPT instructors wanted to eliminate a student but the “paperwork” doesn’t s support it? In this case, the CC may be making sure the “paperwork” is in order due to a trend. I’m just spitballing here, not saying you’re a bad dude.

I’m fairly certain it’s one of those things that cannot be wiggled out of, its why it’s used for more than just flying.
