LoD for medical bills I thought...not SGLI. Definition: An inquiry used to determine whether a service member incurred an injury or disease while in a duty status; whether it was aggravated by military duty; and whether incurrence or aggravation was due to the service member’s intentional misconduct or willful negligence.

Was it worth delaying a line # 11.5 years? (Jk, kind of)

Starship baby
Seems to be a focus on mission and top leaders enforce capability vs useless political, bureaucratic bloat; a singularly focused feedback loop. Also, stragglers seem to be cut away quickly, leading their corporate lawyers to manage the fallout decisively and quickly, aka 'drag'. Seems market dominance in space lift and other space capabilities is their focus, and all else should/will fall to the wayside. Rightfully so in order to seize the initiative, and therefore reap the enormous benefits.

Just wait till this summer's exodus! We ain't seen nothing yet, and the next few years' summer-leaving-cycle will be compounded by continued airline hiring and more pilots entering free agency, combined with expiring ADSCs from the select-a-year-quanitity AvB from a few years ago.

...perhaps like this, similar contract but from 2017.- Finally done in Afghanistan?
Have you been to, or heard of, Cannon?! Or I'm wrong and Cannon is the pre-game to the warm-up of Philippines, no? Because it was in the order of Can-Kun was it not? To settle the matter, guess the US Navy ADVON teams to the 4 new P.I. locales will test these theories...is there a BOATops.net? We need to follow their threads - this could be vicariously epic!- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
How...? BoP? Or the mathematics of inflation? Compare these two sources and stories and what they say, which are from the USAF: https://m.facebook.com/AirForcePersonnelCenter/photos/a.399299226864/10155160716116865/?type=3 2017 - Volunteer! ...then a mere 3 or 4 years later...cannot provide what we promoted - terminate midstream!! https://www.airandspaceforces.com/air-force-ending-program-for-career-airmen-to-apply-for-preferred-bases/ ...ultimately, what makes this round of BoP promises, with AvB, different? And if the assignment isn't to a base with your MWS did you just volunteer not to fly?- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Oooh your idea could easily flip into qualify DEI = full flight pay, why, because it makes no sense for such a turn which is actually more plausible in the AF- Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
Not to mention forced re-tread/re-Classificaton into non-flying assignments not by choice (i.e. flying eligibile, except needs of the AF re-tread...like some CV-22 SMAs are experiencing now)- Lighten Up Francis!
"How about we add 3 more props, and a cannon?" Taller gent says, "That'll do quite nicely", Then the shorter smartass mutters, "but it can only turn left"...to which the taller retorts, "then we'll make a low-level badass version as well!"- Lighten Up Francis!
"Can RADAR pick it up? And can it shoot down balloons?...especially those hateful, colorful birthday bunch kind?"- Money and Finance
It nearly completely depends upon SCRA status on this website...or at their discretion via calling YMMV. Though AMEX definitely has access daily at the following: https://scra.dmdc.osd.mil/scra/#/home- Lighten Up Francis!
- What's wrong with the Air Force?
OPM still lists Christmas: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/federal-holidays/#url=2023 But we have two independence days now? Thought it was Juneteenth/Emancipation Day. Guess either name is divisive...what's in name anyways!? (...walking slowly away)- What's wrong with the Air Force?
...or AI sends out AFIT e-vites and plans our Christmas, excuse me, Seasonal parties...then receives DG, but finally it's overlooked because it was lost in the MyEval switchover, was locked out from creating an eval because initial feedback never occurred, and finally submits itself for VSP/TERA which AFPC approves not realizing its in a 1-deep rhythm code, just seeing a 16G core AFSC. The AI then works over Wall Street/Lombard Street/Dallas Street/OPEC/etc and charters a SpaceX one-way to Mars in a Hot Red Tesla...- The new airline thread
Well, it may not have been two with ATPs...my thought process: Envoy is a regional airliner, Part 121 C/S, R-ATPs are allowed at lower than 1,500 total hours. I'd speculate the FO is close the minimums requirements in this climate, thus might be CRM slower (aka SA suck for the PIC). All plausible, that or the highly experienced crew was just having a bad day/SLOJ. But I lean more towards the lower experience hypothesis without any more facts about the case Now back to a beer on the beach...while I contemplate how much thousands of flight hours are worth and what will all the majors pay for that experience in this pilot market of dwindling experience, even from their feeder-schools...and what their underwriters think about that, if that's such a thing. Certain there are risk analyzing bean counters working for the majors, yes? The likes of our stapler loving friend Milton- WTF? (**NSFW**)
