What's wrong with the Air Force?
the GO couldn't figure out how to use self-help? Or have his aide do it for him?

I just shopped around last week and found that I would save upwards of $500 switching home/auto to Geico. One unknown is how much of a "bundle" discount Geico gives. Anyone have gouge there? Also, how responsive is Geico/Liberty Mutual to claims against the homeowners insurance? If you've had a claim, have you seen your rates rise after that?

What's wrong with the Air Force?
no, closest it came was back in the 07-08 timeframe, but got shut off at the 11th hour. Ops and MX haven't been together in at least 11 years.

Veteran reemployment programs/initiatives?
oooh airshows, thanks for reminding me. Had to design and get a demo approved a few years back. Also, with a 4-year degree you only need 4500 hours...

Veteran reemployment programs/initiatives?
so I got accepted for the next quarter (starting in Oct) for the Project Management track. I'm curious what sorts of things can be used as a legitimate "project" to meet the hour requirement for the PMP certification. Does safety program management at the squadron/Wing level count? What about creating and managing a flying hour program? How about managing a 30 year plan for an HOA? What about being on a SIB, is that considered a "project"? ETA: the PMP handbook was less than helpful, ditto the application, for what constitutes a "project".

CV-22 out of UPT?
I've heard third-hand no more CV-22s dropping out of Rucker. Have not been able to validate this information.

Safety of Flight/Crew Rest
You can fly as long as your FDP, and you must rest IAW crew rest rules, but the crew rest clock starts when you are done with post-mission stuff, not when the engines stop.

No, that's Sushi Zen. Yoshi Hachi has pictures of Yoshi with a bunch of golfers plastered all over the walls, and it's up off 23 near Kadena Gate 5 (ish).

FY 15 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
HOS vs HOR is dependent on how you departed the military. In my case, my ADSC expired and I decided to get out (no VSP, no other force shaping measure). Since this was the case, I only got HOR for my HHG. Had I force shaped or retired, I would have gotten HOS. I served 12 years, 5 months, 28 days for reference.

Travel Advice
Are you referring to YoshiHachi? It's ok, there are plenty better. Sushi Zen, Transit Cafe, Arin Krin (if you love garlic and wish to smell of it for the next 3 days), and Jiro Cho (if you are feeling adventurous and don't mind there are no English menus)...

FY 15 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
I know someone with last name K who got approved. Not sure his AFSC, but he was a T-6 FAIP to C-130s at Pope to KC-135s at SJ guy. Barely got C-130 qual'd before that unit shut down, and now he's barely been qual'd in the KC-135 before his VSP approved...

Butters, do you believe MH 370 landed somewhere and everyone is living out their version of LOST?

?s on ADSC (Active Duty Service Commitment)
If you're on terminal by your new job's start date, that should still work out (assuming that the interpretation of regs doesn't go your way). Hopefully you have a lot of leave saved up, and it's enough to cover the difference between when you begin terminal and your DOS.
