Credit Cards / Cash Back & Rewards Options
stract replied to DC's topic in Useful Product Reviews & Military Discounts
CSR is $450 (so $100 cheaper than AMEX Plat), comes with SPG Gold, which means you get Marriott Gold, $100 GE credit, $300 travel credit, Priority Pass. So in the years you don't use the GE credit, the card is still only $150 annual fee after the $300 travel expense credit. Plus I think the Ultimate Rewards points go farther. But that's just me. I have the best of both worlds because I'm also an additional cardholder on a family member's AMEX Plat. -
Like busdriver said, if the move to AFSOC is going to make sense, it needs to be all-in instead of halvsies like last time. I too have sat alert for SOF missions, in multiple theaters. And I was in Pakistan in 06 when we got a call on the satphone to take off our AFSOC patches...

Huggy, my record was 5 years from 847 submission to fruition. Of course, now I'm on the flip side of that coin as an FMM... crew canopy cords mask harness crouch dive pull #frommemory

Marty are you licensed in UT yet?
-
Yes, I'm in the know. No, I'm not speaking to any of that shit. Where are your troops and can I count them?
-
it's ABQ. The TV show COPS originated there. Nob Hill is between Central and the airport. Your distance north from I-40 is inversely proportional to the amount of crime you may personally experience. Nob Hill and UMN are close enough to the turd they get spill-over.
-
where's this cheapo lodging? If it's south of I-40, you may want to re-evaluate your options, or resign yourself to getting your vehicle broken into or stolen.

we AF peeps call it an ADSC (c for commitment); we understand the concept, just the acronym was different.

Also, with a baby, you could probably throw out the crew rest card. You won't be afforded the opportunity for 8 hours of uninterrupted crew rest with only a 1 bedroom TLF...

Do You Think Blue-Suiters in T-6s Would Help?

There will ALWAYS be people who want to, or don't mind living in, places that would seem less desirable to many others. Case in point, Mother Rucker. -
badly damaged enough that I've heard they're writing it off...

gathering options to present to a customer. Had an interesting brief/demo today from one such company, might be the one you're referring to.

Can you find out specifics on the filter?

PM sent. I found this list on a Navy document (thanks CNATRA for posting things online): a. WAMCO P/N FPDC212-IPM-002 for iPad Mini b. KORRY NIGHTSHIELD P/N 50051-001 for iPad Mini Would be curious to see what the AATC folks came up with.

it's not my iPad, it's for the F-16. Is Invert Colors truly NVIS compatible? Otherwise it's just a short-term work-around to a long-term problem. And I'm looking for the long-term solution. But thanks for the suggestion!
-
For communities with EFBs, and who fly with them at night on NVGs: 1. Do you have an NVIS-compatible filter for your EFB? 2. If so, who made it/where was it procured? Looking for an NVIS filter film/glass of some sort for iPad minis that won't negate the touch screen capes. I assume there's already a govt-approved solution out there, so please share what you know.

I wish (native Austinite here)! I remember visiting Bergstrom when I was in middle school before it got BRAC'd. Now it's the international airport...so that won't work either.
-
You mean Mesa Gateway Airport?
-
lol. Ramp's full at Moody. The space once occupied by the T-6s and T-38s is occupied by A-10s and A-39s. Airspace is also full. Pipe dream for someone at AFPC, methinks.
-
moot for me since my finding fee is waived (60% disability FTW). But yes, I will be coming to the table with $$ for my next purchase in UT.

Marty, Does this mean if I haven't fully used my VA entitlement, the remaining portion of it will be based on $424.1K (aka, 25% of $424.1K minus how much I've already used)?
-
other than directly caused by the ejection, any damage to the plane? Was he on roll out our what? Last time, I remember seeing pics of the F-16 inverted sticking out of the mud with landing gear extended...

that's a problem with how the govt wrote the contract, not with the contract instructors. Govt set an unreasonable expectation for "efficiency" and then fines the company when students are "late" (and I say late in quotes, because even if a student makes it to the flightline on time, if every syllabus event didn't occur on the day of the syllabus it was supposed to, that's a late, which is ridiculous).
