The new airline thread
That's been a hot minute, otherwise yup... Now it'd take 2x #1 OOM from O-4 & 5 LAF-___ promo-boards to get ~2-3 BTZ equivalent to O-6. That's some crazy-stupid OPB/PRF strat soup required now to achieve both. Havent seen a mil bio boasting such yet

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/write-off.asp Fractional ownership equals Fractional write-down/off under GAAP perhaps...? What do I know as am not a CPA/CFP. Owner vs operator is a distinction, and a business strategy...get a tax attorney's or CPA's advice, otherwise KISS-principle. It's all about where the liability lies.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
And we hobbled our youngs' (i.e. the future, the warfighters) hearts under forced injections for the old with co-morbidities in society....great long term play, very cheap in the long term? healthier plan?! - no, More lethal effective fighting force - no, More control - yes, less freedom - no. So, C19-vaxxers-at-large, was it worth the inoculation mandates? Was it right to subdue? To succumb to fear? Whole thing was oppressive...

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
The British investment on Ukrainian soil (aka fixed targets) for war manufacturing is a bigger risk than British-trainers in Western Ukraine I think. Who's £s??? Not to mention whatever new involvement in the Black Sea too. Very sticky situation

What's wrong with the Air Force?
"The Per Diem Committee ensures that uniform travel and transportation regulations are issued for members of the Uniformed Services and DoD civilian employees." Pretty sure DTS is an approved method, and specified as such. The Per Diem Committee gets to set these policies and gets the final $ say. https://www.dfas.mil/MilitaryMembers/travelpay/regulations/

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
For example some joint non-rated-required joint staff tours or OCONUS non-flying accompanied = 36m Or some controlled teaching tours are 24, 36, or 48 months... Or some education programs (i.e. Masters/PhD) could be 24-36m or longer Or like how the AU Fellowships for IDE/SDE used to be 2+1y =36m (but those were exempted as PME, but did change ones ASC at the HARM...however if you extended in-place too long after PME and your ASC chang(es/ed)....!!!) ....its all tabulated monthly as rated payback and reported to Congress eventually as utilizing rated forces, AND FUNDING, effectively There is always a 'pumpkin' timer!!..even a personal one, especially noticeable lately in people around ~17 YaS/TAFMSD, those salty, grumpy people...Caveat Emptor!
