  1. You can get a garage in DLF if you are an O-6.
  2. Call the CGOC on Randolph too and tell the president to get on their email list STAT.
  3. Edit because I just saw the other posts. Discriminating because you're not married, that's funny dude. ROTC should have told you about stuff like this. If she wants to move to San Antonio she should get a job and her own place. Besides you're going to Creech/Cannon in a year, better make sure she is aware of that. Also the dorms aren't like college, they are really studio apartments.
  4. Doubt you can do it on gov't dime.... I inquired with TMO in conjunction with my PCS about moving a non-running project race car. My intention was to tow it on a trailer with my truck and get paid for the weight... TMO answer, they will ship car parts, not cars. So basically if you stripped it down to the shell they will pay for everything but the chassis. <My personal interpretation of the JTR. TL;DR No, unless you strip it to individual parts, IE bare chassis.
  5. The way that dude posted makes it seem like the week long thing was the only contributing factor at DLF. I'm well aware that the same issue has not been discovered at the other bases.
  6. It was grounded for more than just after the engine out at doghouse or dogface or whatever you guys call the aux field up there.
  7. This is not the same guy as the Gen Keltz dude.
  8. QFT. I don't use my USAA card anymore... it just sits for that just in case moment.
  9. USAA plays by the rules more or less. If you had debt with them before going active then they lower all interest rates to 4% for anything incurred prior. They also lower your credit card interest rate back to 4% IIRC, for a year after you PCS.
  10. Sounds like I have a call to make. EDIT: Made the call, and after a conversation they are going to waive all fees and put the interest to 0% and refund all fees and interest paid. Snail mailed them a copy of my EAD orders so we will see how long that takes. Email would have been much better...
  11. What card do you have and how did you get them to waive? I have the USAirways card (Now changing to AA Arrivals or some BS) and sent them a message last year asking about SCRA and this is what I got back: "Dear The G-Man: Thank you for contacting us regarding your US Airways Dividend Miles MasterCard. We can certainly address your inquiry regarding the benefits on your account. Service Members who are called to active duty may be eligible for the following benefits: • 6% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) while on active duty only. The rate will cover any balances you have at the time you went into active duty; however, subsequent debt will not be covered and will reflect the nominal rate. • Exempt from administrative fees, such as late fees, etc. A letter will be sent 45 days prior to your APR changing back to the previous APR before going on active duty. If you have any other questions and concerns, please reply to this message. Sincerely, Customer Care"
  12. About 6 hrs worth and a painful rappel of about 20 feet. Class can get done early which is clutch because it is taught on a Friday. Wear a shitty flight suit.
  13. You were close. But I think you included guard guys. I'm in this class, let me break it down C17 Charleston C17 McChord C17 Travis C17 Dover C17 McGuire 130J Dyess 130J Little Rock 130H Yokota EC130H Davis-Monthan RC135 E3 KC135 McConnell That's it for Active duty Oh and the 38 dude that got C17 is to Travis for a total of 2 to Travis
  14. The answer I've heard from the club as to why has to do with them controlling the products they serve as a liability. Like say you were to bring a bad keg that made everyone sick, sts, they wouldn't be able to pinpoint the issue due to the "unknown" factor of the craft beer.
  15. They're issuing Wellco boots down here BTW. And the Toners are requiring wear of AF issue sunglasses too. AETC. Just shut up and color. Not to mention people running around in bags and Nike boots look really dumb anyways.
  16. Why would USAFA be mission essential (as far as flying goes)? It isn't like you get any actual ratings there. UPT is chugging along btw.
  17. Update: So I got the Platinum card and there is no $450 fee on my account. Does that get billed later? Or did putting "Commissioned Officer" on my application work?
  18. Not sure if this is a Laughlin-ism but we also: Did not stop moving between exercises meaning if you stopped doing crunches you had to run in place, or do jumping jacks in the mean time while we switched. So I just kept going past max reps. And then when you were done with that circuit you had to: Leg press your body weight 30 times Wall-sit for 1 minute 6 inch leg extension (starting position for flutter kicks) for 1 minute.
  19. My Flt commander right now was a KC-10 guy at Travis and he said he lived in Sacramento (single dude).
  20. XL had this on the 38 side: F-16 x2 Luke B-1 Dyess B-52 Barksdale T-38 FAIP T-1s I don't really remember them all, but there were C-130J x2 Dyess and a bunch of C-17 to all over.
  21. Better to ask for forgiveness later. Just don't say a thing.
  22. If you do end up making it to UPT, realize that pilot types will all act like this. If you throw out some dumb question, expect to get reamed. But really you should just leave if you don't like it.
  23. Where in this thread does it say 'tea party'?
  24. Awesome. To Vance it is then! They have been reassigning people from Whiting to Vance whenever a hiccup occurs.
