    USAA

    I remember when I first signed up for USAA auto insurance that they were telling me that they did things that other companies don't do for the military. Something about insuring your vehicle if you ship it overseas and whatnot. Is this worth paying an extra $300/year? After reading about all the money everyone is saving on here, I checked Geico and for me they are $300 cheaper with identical coverage. USAA makes it sound like if you don't have them, you will have problems PCSing overseas and whatnot. Any thoughts or experiences? "I was with GEICO. I called USAA, and their quote was so much lower." - Gene Atencio, Member Since 2001 Found the quote above on the USAA website.
  2. No TBAS score. The TBAS, Pilot AFOQT and Flight hours are thrown into a super-secret formula to come up with your PCSM. They have been known to mess up on occassion...
  3. Now they are triple posted, but sometimes it is worth it and needs to be seen again!!!

    USAA

    I am still undecided about USAA. They have been good to me, but I have had a couple weird things happen lately. I found a used '92 Jeep Wrangler through their vehicle search site listed at $5,700. So I contacted the dealer using their site. I found the same Jeep (Identical VIN and everything) on another car site for $3,400. The dealer called me and I asked him how firm he was on the price. He said he would drop the price $700 for me because I was a USAA customer bringing it down to $5,000. I told him I saw it listed on another site for $3,400 and he just played dumb and never called back. USAA promises that you will never pay above KBB value for the vehicle...
  5. Now if she was nekkid I would understand...
  6. Well, I can't really talk about the process, but I can talk about the issues that one of my friends encountered when he transfered. First of all, this guy is top notch. Good grades, great PT scores, and the such. He transfered as a Junior and was thrown into the supply shop. When it came time for rated boards, it was obvious he wasn't going to get a pilot slot, because all he had done was run the supply shop. The Commander had no clue what kind of person he was. Well he ended up getting a Nav slot and then he was given the MSG. The dude rocked it like no one else before and then was begged by the CoC to take the position of Vice WG/CC to keep things running. He shot up in class ranking from around 25 to 3 in a period of 3 semesters. Fortunately due to some shrewed drug deals, our CC got him bumped up to strike nav, but everyone in the class realized that he was given the short stick due to his transfer. Long story, but hopefully you get the point. Not saying this will happen to you or anyone else for that matter, but it happened to him and he was a hell of a guy. But I understand the need to go some place where you are happy and where you want to be.
  7. My AFROTC/CC told me back in the day that he could drop me from my ENJJPT slot. I am not sure it happens a whole lot, but you might want to ask your CoC.
  8. Ha ha. No seriously. It just looks out of place. I mean it is just a normal cheerleading picture in the middle of various porn pictures.
  9. I think this only goes to show that the AF is really run by crab people.
  10. Yeah I saw the pic posted here. Am I not seeing the whole picture? Is there something that has been cropped?
  11. Maybe I missed it, but what did this girl do to end up on a porn site?
  12. Waaa, waaaa. I don't get ACP they shouldn't either.... waaa, waaa... There is sand in my V-jay jay!
  13. Wait... so he spent $20,000 on her, he isn't married to her, and he still can't get some?
  14. I saw a Youtube video of one of his flyovers in a single engine private plane. I can't remember what kind of plane it was though.
  15. Toro, you are a man wise beyond your years!
  16. SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN, ROBOT HOE! Statement covered under Privacy Act of 1974...
  17. IMHO, I think we should all drop the talk about the presence/absence of a reg on senior officers addressing subordinate officers, less someone from HQ (or anyone looking to add a star) reads this and decides AFI 27-989838877333 should be written and it will be 6,969 pages long! Yikes! EDIT: Then there will be at least 3 CBTs that will need to be done annually, in addition to a full operations stand down for at least a week, with a few seminars and group discussions on how this all makes us "feel". Did I miss anything?
  18. Uh... we don't have any leeteracolas here.
  19. I am not sure if AFI 45-293884990 allows that type of forward thinking.
  20. Safety first over Security and Secrecy!!! The Air Force way!

    I can't wait till Tebow is out of College Football... but congrats on your Gators!
  22. Reflective belts are turning into the Air Force wide mascot. I can see the zoo changing their mascot to the AFA Reflectors! Now that sounds cyber-cool.
  23. I found out later, that back when I went through ROTC there was a cadet who all the cadre hated, yet the Commander loved her. Even though the CoC and all the other instructors argued with him when it came time to do rankings, she was "off limits", "discussion closed". So in some cases, not even the officers at the detachment can argue for rankings...
  24. I seriously think you are right... seriously.
  25. Yeah, the class that graduated after mine all had callsigns too.
