So guns are uninvented. There are no guns. Browning was never born. Instead of 59 killed and hundreds injured on the strip, a truck drives into the crowd and kills 86 and injures 458. Instead of gunfire, a pressure cooker bomb is left in the crowd and injures 170. Now what? Somehow when a gun is involved, everyone has a quick-fix "solution." When it's anything other than a gun, nobody has a fucking clue what to do to keep it from happening.
2! Not to derail this into a PMP thread, but do not go into the exam without knowing this process chart and these formulas cold. I wouldn't have passed if I had done just the Syracuse courseware and not done substantial other prep.
In small talk with passengers waiting on a flight or deadheading or whatever, I've been astounded at the number of people (mostly in sales) that are on the road 20-23 days/month. I'm glad they do what they do so I can do what I do. It's convinced me that there is no such thing as work-life balance in many industries.
The AFI is subordinate to the JTR. Unfortunately (in this case) we've spent a lot of years telling the AF it has to pay us IAW JTR because AFI was not in our favor and the JTR trumped AFI. Now the roles are flipped.
As much as possible, don't land on bases when you go XC.
Worse. ARC guys generally have the ability to exit much faster and with a much less uncertain future. A guy already holding a purple seniority number, but on mil leave to work at JFHQ after a command tour, is not nervous about feeding his family "on the outside."
I guess they'll learn that lesson the hard way.
For those looking for an off-ramp from the operational ARC/AD, a little birdie told me that CAP-USAF has a Cat B opening in the Northeast Liaison Region (NELR). That means you get your AT days and TRS.

Great gig for those of you slumming it around EWR/JFK/LGA/BOS/PHL.
5,800? Was that a typo? The number is a hell of a lot larger than 5,800. I had thought it was upwards of 30,000.
Per year? 5,800 might be a little low if you count EVERY airline, but the big 6 are good for around 4k/yr. Certainly nowhere near 30k/yr.

"Walgreens Boots Alliance abandoned its deal to acquire rival drugstore chain Rite Aid and will instead buy nearly half of its target's stores after U.S. regulators raised anti-trust concerns about the original plan."
As of 1019E, RAD is down 23.28% since yesterday's close.
I'm well aware of the benefits available to active duty members and their spouses. Spent the better part of two decades enjoying those benefits. Did you know spouses were only recently afforded those protections? And yep, you get the same benefits for a couple years while you're on active orders. But once you leave the AD blanket, choose your hometown wisely. You're just another civilian employee as a DSG or Technician.
Generally once you move, register your cars, and register to vote, you're considered a resident of your new state. If you commute back and forth, you can keep your tax free. If you move your life to your new Guard unit, you're on the hook for their taxes. Sorry, life's a cruel bitch sometimes and taxes are one of her favorite pastimes.
