Overall, their product has gone downhill considerably over the last 6-9 years. Used to be great and way ahead of the competition. Now it is mediocre at best. All the disadvantages of a virtual bank with almost no advantages over the standard commercial big bank. I'd move everything now, but that's a pain. Once I retire, I'm probably done with them.
I also noticed my dividend basically disappeared and everything started the downhill slide about the time they started putting ads on TV. Strange coincidence....
Have checking/savings and a credit card with them is all now.

For those unaware, JBSA has initiated a program to allow military and government civilians to bring personally-owned firearms on base and keep them in their vehicles.
Before anyone gets too excited, this program is not extended to retirees or contractors who work on base.
And if that's not bad enough, attached is the process one must go through to obtain their orange JBSA
Concealed Carry Card...Tab 1 - PGM JBSA Privately Owned Firearm Carry Policy.pdf 238 kB · 3 downloads
seems simple enough....

Seen this video pop up multiple places. An exchange between State Department spokesperson Ned Price and AP reporter Matt Lee. It's a pretty good 5 minute listen.
Price claims the US has "information" that Russia is planning on staging a false flag attack implicating Ukraine, in order to generate a pretext for further Russian invasion.
Part of that false flag would be a propaganda video with "graphic scenes of false explosions – depicting corpses, crisis actors pretending to be mourners, and images of destroyed locations or military equipment – entirely fabricated by Russian intelligence."
AP Reporter Matt Lee lays into Price, asking for evidence of these claims. Price basically says "take my word for it."
Lee brings up previous State Department falsehoods such as: "WMDs in Iraq," "Kabul was not going to fall," etc. Along with this gem of a quote highlighted in the tweet below: "I mean, this is – like, crisis actors? Really? This is like Alex Jones territory you’re getting into now. What evidence do you have to support the idea that there is some propaganda film in the making?"
Interestingly enough, Price is a former CIA analyst.
Embarrassing

The SpaceX suits are completely for show. They can’t turn their helmets, for one, so they can’t look sideways, which is useless in an airplane. The suits are designed to be strapped into a rocket where you stare forward and watch the touch screens telling you everything is ok for a 20 minute flight. There’s no parachute harness or LPUs, which would all go over the top of this suit. I don’t know if this helmet and suit combo would survive a rapid d from sea level to a near vacuum, but it sure doesn’t look like it and I bet they never tried.
You don't think they tested the suits for depressurization ?

Spiderman No Way Home: Really good. Would suggest seeing in theaters.
Matrix Resurrections: They should have left the series dead and not brought it back. Entertaining...maybe. Overall meh. Seemed like a cross of Free Guy (sans humor)/Ready Player 1 with John Wick, but worse. Their quest to bring back characters confused me also. How did Morpheus end up in it? I don't get that since everyone else was either a human or a program. And, to not spoil it, the main bad guy didn't seem very much like a computer program. Very human/humorous dialogue for an "analyst."
Yup, not a giant spiderman fan but this new one was really good and really needs to be seen in theatre.

I don’t know how it works for officers but if enlisted are not within their first enlistment, they’ll retain their G.I. Bill.
General Discharge Under Honorable Conditions
A general discharge under honorable conditions means that your service was satisfactory, but did not deserve the highest level of discharge for performance and conduct. Many veterans with this type of discharge may have engaged in minor misconduct. While a discharge under honorable conditions may not be what a veteran wants on his or her resume, it qualifies for VA health care, TRICARE's Continued Health Care Benefit Program (military health insurance), VA disability compensation, VA pension, VA home loans, and all other veterans benefits except for educational benefits under the Montgomery or Post-9/11 GI Bill. (For the Montgomery GI Bill program or Post-9/11 GI Bill program, you need an honorable discharge.)

Never said it was (or wasn't) a good idea.
That said, the Air Force has dumped a bunch of money and resources into the effort, and folks like @NotApilot have dedicated a portion of their careers to it.
I'm curious as to how it worked out for the Air Force, and how it worked out for the individuals.
Sorry, took your post as you attempting to get into the program.

Understood on the concerns about RQ-4 retirements, NDAAs, etc.
Putting all that aside, how have things been from your initial selection up until now? Productive and rewarding? Any specific things you've seen that you thought were done well, or things you wish would have been different?
How could you possibly think this is still a good idea to entertain?

in General Discussion
That was their pitch to keep me. "well your quote might be $800 cheaper but you're not factoring in your subscription dividend". I asked for the money up front to stay but they wouldn't do it 🙂
