  1. For those that transcribed into an electronic format... Did you bring the "originals" ie old paper, and AF flight records to the A-line interview? They would seem to be needed due to the ink endorsements, but not sure if anyone cares.
  2. It happens...I did it for family reasons. Luckily my senior rater had a whole person sight picture and I avoided the North Pole WX station. The positive was an alternate was able to go!
  3. Copy, I was not clear. I agree Flight med is awesome and there is a clear need for rehab care! I have never had a less than phenominal flight doc willing to make the system work. These need to be a military specialty, but perhaps they do not need to try to mimic a large downtown hospital in all areas. In the case of long term rehab stuff there are 2 Mil hospitals in the area...Navy Portsmouth and Langley. For the non-mil stuff, why should Langley pay to staff an ER and delivery ward when there is a good one 3 miles out the gate? Make it an urgent care clinic during the renovation instead of building a new ER. The second issue is not that Drs don't read the records because they are busy, it is that they are unavailable and they could not read them if they wanted. When I asked about the injection my daughter got, they said they did not have the record but if I gave them the date they could try to find it in the ER paper records. The fact that ER records are not associated with a patient, but just a date and not sent to the PCM across the lobby seems crazy.
  4. This. Combine the Med "Group" with the "Support" group since that is their function. Side Rant 1: There is no reason to have large hospitals in metro areas to begin with. Langley has a hospital in one of the more populated good heath care areas. They just did a multi million dollar renovation, why? The few unique specialties (flight med/PH) could be a squadron. Side Rant 2: The best part is I had to take my daughter to urgent care for croop since flight med was closed for afternoon training (which normally has awesome service due to contract doctors) and they were unable to provide my daughter's prescription history because she is usually treated in the ER and their records are separate. I never thought to ask...same Commander, same building with no kidding the same open waiting area...but their records are not shared? They are no kidding on the same network and the receptionists can see each other without getting up. Flight Med uses electronic records. The ER uses paper records. When you go see the PCM for the "followup" they did not actually look at anything because the tech said they never bother to pick up and transcribe the paper ER record.
  5. Give them bikes and save the gas. I think the only reason TIB is still here is that leadership is embarrassed to admit they were allowed to be created.
  6. A phenomenal man and family! His legacy will live on. My journey into aviation, USAFA, and fighter jets is because of the EAA.

    USAA

    I concur. Also look at the reviews on their website and sort by date (rather than the default "highest rating"). I have used USAA for 3 houses now. The first 2 I could not have been happier. The house I closed on last month was a disaster. My closing date was pushed back 3 times (each time it was the night prior). Twice they said closing was on, and my wife waited at the attorney's office only to not be able to get anyone on the phone when the documents failed to arrive. There were many more issues. The end result is that we closed 28 days after their "guaranteed" closing date. I think that there are some good people there but they have over hired and under trained in the past two years. If you get an experienced person, I am sure you will have no problems. If you get the processer we got, you will have to resend the same documents several times, and have a nightmare. I escalated my problem after the 2nd missed closing to her supervisor and manager. The manager assured me that he would personally watch the case, but everything was good from his standpoint. When the 3rd closing was missed, he told me that was not watching it since he thought the original processor had figured out. He also told me that he was really busy and could not watch all of his processors. If a guy is too busy to manage a processor that messed up 2 consecutive closings then something is broken. I don’t know if it is worse if a manger does not know that his processor has missed two closing dates, or after he is told by the customer two weeks prior to the 3rd attempt, he does not care enough to prevent the 3rd failure. My escrow agent and realtor were both unable to get a hold of anyone. Their phone cue for in process applications is separate. In approximately 30 calls during my 60 day closing, I was able to get someone on the phone once. The rest of time it went to voice mail. The if you need immediate assistance call this person also was directed to voice mail. Overall it was a 3 person circle on my “team” that all screened their calls. My lesson learned is call and ask for the Executive Response Team (ERT). They were able to solve the problem in 24 hours after the 3rd missed closing. They were typical USAA awesome. They also explained that the original processor was still in training and had made many errors. Apparently she had messed up the file pretty bad. They said that they were going to retrain the processor and the manager. Overall it was eye opening for me. I am not sure that I could trust someone that I can't see. When someone does not reply to messages, screens their calls, and will not return e-mail for weeks at a time it is not workable. The original processor was so bad it was scary and the manager's lack of concern just seemed wrong. Rant off..
  8. Can someone explain how DITY storage (the 90 days) at your destination is paid. All I could find in JFTR was that I was authorized 90 days (that could be extended) bue not a payment formula. I have gotten two answers from my local TMO, 1) paid at 95% of gov cost, 2) paid only member's costs. My local TMO office said there was a memo that recently changed how it was paid but will not show me the memo because the person that has it is on leave. Currently they are delaying any payment because they can not figure out how to prorate a monthly storage fee...they did not like my recomendation to divide by 30 and multiply the number of days. The local answer I have now is that it does not depend on weight, just actual costs up to 90 days. Had I known this I would have paid someone to move it all into storage for me.
