The money is taxed the year it is paid to you....unless you're a corporation or conduct the Irish two-step. That's why timing a PCS or DITY move voucher submission is crucial and in your control. Damn I should write a book on military fianace...at least the AF paid for my Master in Finance, maybe I can stretch it some more.

BAH-T without dependants rate is what you should recieve while TDY en-route from an overseas location to a stateside location, all BAH-T until you check-in at your new PDS.

PSDM 14-70 for those who are curious...

Reference your missoin symbol as well...the msn symbol "translated" into plain english normal specifies what you're supporting (i.e. "combat forces" IAW AFI 11-401 para 3.3.6 and sub-paragraphs) and gives a clue, not definitively mind you, as to what you should log. Like previously said reference hostile airspace as well.

"Although flight schools fall into two basic categories, Part 61 or Part 141, there is a third category that bears serious consideration by prospective pilots, particularly those planning a professional piloting career: nationally accredited pilot training institutions. Accredited flight schools must meet rigid standards of accountability for virtually every area of operation and must apply to an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education."

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.

Black or spice brown thread, depending on rank Don't ask me what is spice brown.... O-3 = black

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.

But that leaves no room for the "everyone gets a medal" mentality...

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
