Is it a better CAS platform than the F-35?

So you're saying the patch doesn't go on the bicep?

I know Napoleon_Tanerite. The brain damage is already there.

Is it sad that when I look at this I immediately think they'll lose because the AF never knows what it wants. The better strategy would be to give a general a handjob in the bathroom just before the decision.

Sweet mom jeans.

A pig without an asshole? My 8-year-old self back in 1990 would appreciate this. Much less mess to clean out of then barn.

Probably just call it the "Fogle Song" in order to not actually say his name. Then, in the 3rd verse, they realize that they've been saying his name all along. the 4th verse describes the destruction caused by repeating his name and summoning him forward.

Ugh, who gives a shit? Show up in jeans and an ironic graphic T if you want. Just do your job well, get your shit done, take your paycheck every two weeks and move on with life.

Never underestimate the buffoonery that is the EFMP process. It's only a box checking process designed to cover AFPC's ass. I have nothing to add, I'm just bitter.

Because my family already maxes out the $6k limit, I'd make $17.40 per $1k in gift cards I scam. That means I'd have to buy 115 gift cards to make $1000... a 1.7% ROI for quite a few trips to HEB/Walmart. Hell, I'd have a higher chance of getting robbed walking into Walmart and losing the giftcards in those weekly trips. I'll stick to eating leftovers.

You won't believe what happened next. It will restore your faith in humanity, Especially number 8.

Lower base pay and introduce location pay. The new total pay for the force should stay the same. Then places like Randolph and Hickam will get say $100/mo in location pay. Places like Cannon and Laughlin will get $1000 in location pay. Then people put in their dream sheets and AFPC actually uses them. After the end of each fiscal year, AFPC can then determine if they completely filled the billets. Too many people want Travis? Lower the location pay $50 next year. Too few people want Vance? Raise the location pay $50. After about 5-10 years, the system should be working itself out. Just put a cap on the min/max location pay. People will still get non-vol'd to locations, but at least they'll get a new flat screen out of the deal thanks to their buddies living the high life on the Vegas Strip.

What exactly is the punishment of not meeting that suspense anyway? Withheld promotion?

Aren't there fees associated with Visa Gift Cards and Money Orders? How do they eat into the cash back? I thought about this as well, but there's always an activation fee with the Visa Cards.

With a 0%, 5-year, $25,000 loan, you save about $1,800-$2,000 over the life of the loan if you figure in inflation (~3%). That's no small chunk of change. With low interest rates and high inflation, it almost doesn't make sense to pay it off quickly. I might as well use Year 2020 dollars which are worth less than Year 2014 Dollars.

Also, watch out for the "60 months interest free" on a 72 month loan. They usually throw all of the 60 months of interest on the 61st month of the loan. Most people don't read this fine print. Pay everything off within the 60 months and you're fine.

Isn't the retiree TriCare benefit one of the major reasons for people to stay for 20 years? They might as well take away retirement.... oops... I've said too much.

If you had self-restraint, you wouldn't need Dave Ramsey's advice at all. He has a great system that works for those that can't see the long term value of money. It's not going to make you rich, but if you are lost and follow it, it will save you some head ache.

Sully Sullenberger the Second?

How is the wing abbreviating BaseOps.net? BODN? BO.N? BOdN?

I told my flight doc that I generally cry myself to sleep and wet the bed every night due to the horrors I've seen at the Al Udeid DFAC. He didn't find it funny.

Of course they aren't cutting slack. That would imply that someone admitted they were wrong.

Nobody rush over to help or anything.... I'm sure she's fine.

I have no insight to his WIC situation, but I knew him from elsewhere. If his social skills are any indication... He and PYB would probably be friends. The WIC instructors were probably just tired of hearing him talk.

Needs more jazz hands. 2/10 Would not twerk to.
