Gun Talk
Bro's, BLUF: Is it legal/advisable to set up a petition in the BX to allow personally owned firearms to be in personally owned vehicles while on base? This has probably been discussed before in the over 200 pages of this thread or one of the 1000's of threads in this forum, but I can't find it exactly.... I recently PCS'd and during the welcome brief I asked the installation commander (and my wing commander, two different people) about the ability to carry concealed onto base and then leave my POF locked in the car. The wing commander deferred to the installation commander. The installation commander said a "threat working group" decided there is no reason to concealed carry on base (not what I'm asking for), and "nobody wants to carry anyways"... I took an informal poll (so to speak) of the audience and they strongly disagreed with him. That said, one of the guys in my squadron was talking about the potential to set up a table and collect signatures of individuals that would like to have their 2nd amendment right while traveling through the ghetto that surrounds the base (I personally have no desire to carry on base). I was wondering your collective thoughts? Another way to go about this is to talk to congress, but I don't know how far that would get me. Standing by for spears and/or snide remarks (and hopefully some good input in the mix too). Sent from my SM-G930F using Baseops Network Forums mobile app

Recommended GoPro?
I didn't realize the Hero 5 Black had 4k30.... 4k15 on the Hero 4 Silver is definitely too jittery in anything fast (like a fighter type aircraft).

Recommended GoPro?
Pretending the comment above doesn't exist.... I highly recommend the GoPro 4 Silver.... It's nice because it has the screen on the back. Also recommend purchasing from the BX and getting the protection plan. My Gp4 Silver got crushed en-route to the 'stan and the protection plan replaced it, no questions asked!

Interesting. There should be an update coming out within a day or so. Recommend try uninstalling completely and then reinstalling. Sorry for the flail.

Dependent travel during OCONUS to CONUS PCS
Thanks! I already got orders, so hopefully next week I can start working the HHG and "defendant" travel. I guess my next concern is finances.... should I just keep living in the empty house to collect OHA/Utils? Did you file non-concurrent travel on your PCS travel voucher?

Dependent travel during OCONUS to CONUS PCS
Nellis... Specifically the CAS Integration Group or the Tactical Air Support Squadron, depending on the time of day. Yeah, I can't find any specifics in the JTR for the "earliest" departure/hhg shipments.... I also can't figure out when it becomes non-concurrent travel... one guy mentioned it possibly being non-simultaneous concurrent travel. I'll probably just have to wait until I'm done with this TDY and back at home station so I can hear what the local interpretation of the JTR is.

Dependent travel during OCONUS to CONUS PCS
Friends, Trying to get advice on the best way to handle my travel plans. The background: I'm currently OCONUS accompanied. We've been assigned to a CONUS location next. My DEROS is December. My RNLT is mid December. I have orders in hand for PCS. I'm competitive for a TDY en route (SOS) in November, but I don't have official notification on that yet. What I'm trying to accomplish: Send wife/son early to occupy the house we're buying. I'd like them to be in place the second week of October. I'd also like our hhg to arrive sometime relatively shortly after they get there (within a few weeks) What advice do you have to help me accomplish this plan? It seems easy if I get amendments to go to SOS en route. What if I don't? Thanks in advance!

Motion to remove JQPublic Forum
He's not paying anything. He's not. Originally, based off of content, I assessed it was a good idea to include a feed of JQP articles into a sub-forum so folks could continue in a semi-anonymous manner to provide feedback using BODN. Now, based off of a lack of valuable content, I am removing said sub-forum. If you like his articles, favorite his page.

I just got an e-mail from SeaWorld, apparently they're in a major PR campaign to recover from the recent "documentary" about their whales. Anywho, I would probably steer clear of there for the next year or so, as they're likely to be doing serious construction. I'm taking the wife and 4 month old to Florida as well, and we'll likely check out BG this year, and SW next year (after they should be done with the construction).

iOS app updates
Interesting. Part of the reason for the update was changing the ownership of the app to the developer I was outsourcing. That means they have the ability to modify ad appearance so they can make money.
