Has anyone tried to use their regular USAF tuition assistance for an ATP certificate? At say Kirtland or Eglin? Might you have considered using it for the new ATP ground course requirement? The new ATP ground course should have a start/stop class date. AFI36-2306, 13 AUGUST 2010, *5.3.2. . Base Aero Club programs that are accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the US Department of Education <inserted question: FAA recognized?> and they have specific term start and end dates. *5.4.2.5. Flight courses are eligible for Mil TA when provided by an accredited program or institution and they have specific term start and end dates. 5.4.2.1. Guidance regarding lower and equal level of education to one already attained (paragraph 5.5.6.) is waived for certificates/licenses, not to exceed the master’s level. 5.4.2.2. No more than a maximum of the annual 1-year cap shall be used toward completion of a single certificate/license over an Air Force career. For example, Eglin AFB's Aero Club is a certified 141 school.

There are nvg filters for EFBs, my sq issues them. If not available, CF-29 nvg filters can be cut to size, there are many of those floating around in the Herk world. Glow in the dark stickers or paint works well to highlight the two buttons or 3.5 mm jack.

Internet speed and availability is 100% dependent upon village... big cities like Kaiserslautern have great Internet. Ramstein village has pretty good DSL. As of 2012, T-Mobile had decent prices for iPhones data plans but only within German borders. Sweet Jesus, don't data roam in Europe.

His vision is good. It appears a vision to wrangle all the cats in this fiscally constrained environment and future; especially in personnel, acquisitions, and schools. The notion of having a fiscal USAF strategy published at the highest levels is realistic, but will create more food fights among the different camps. We all knew the money-easily-flowing times are drying up. I'll start believing there is momentum behind his vision when Doctrine and/or AFI's governing said topics start changing...otherwise it's just banter or policy or politics. The bureaucracy runs on AFI's with a benchmark on doctrine, policy letters are easily changed with the new guy.

Food for thought on the TSP small cap fund.... https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/money/personal-investing/post-recession-investing/overview/index.htm "Another observation: After each recession, small-company stocks were the clear winner, something we've pointed out here in the past. Part of the explanation lies in the fact that small-cap stocks are usually sold off faster when the economy heads south. And during the latest recession small-caps lost a stomach-churning 60 percent, much more than the 37 percent that small-caps gave back in previous recessions. But as the economy improves, small-caps tend to snap back more quickly as well. In short, there's higher risk in small-cap stocks, but there's also a higher reward."

I shipped a pickup truck from San Diego to Albuquerque by a guy from uShip.com. It worked out quite well, and said dude shipped stuff for a living. ...think it was around $450 - can't remember.

For reference, Ramstein MPF, circa 2012, doesn't know this and after seeing it insisted I sign an ADSC anyways for attending IP school. I didn't fight back and signed b/c big picture it didn't matter with a 10 year ADSC further out than the IP school ADSC. Pick your battles wisely...YMMV depending upon ops' culture in the moment

Leatt offers a 30% military discount. https://www.leatt-brace.com/ They make motorcycle safety accessories. Bull Ring Truck Accessories offers near wholesale pricing for military. They have nice bed tie-down rings that are near flush with the truck bed-rail. https://www.bullringusa.com/Master's of Science in Information Systems and Financial Management sounds like the right degree for this type of project as well as many, many information system project managers, certified in their fields, might have helped this project... hmm, how many Gantt charts did that pay for?
