Shhhhh! Don't tell Delta! If they realize that, they won't hire any of us! Get your PPL.

I heard it was gonna be McDew.

They will be if AD starts to mobilize them to teach the Afghans and other such wastes of time.

Vanguard for investments. Personal Capital if you like to see all your investments in one place. I use Barclays for my emergency fund. I'm getting 0.9% (terrible, but 9x better than USAA savings was). Other banks have topped Barclays since I joined, but only by a little bit...not enough to switch yet. Search here. For checking, you can get some pretty great rates if you're willing to look and jump through some hoops. Look here. I still have USAA checking, but once I'm off AD, I'll look around for better deals.

Nope. I know two guys - one pilot and one FE that retired and joined the ARC. FE retired at 20+ and went Guard. Pilot retired via TERA and went reserves. When they work at the Guard/Reserve, they get their drill pay for that day. When they don't, they get their retired pay for that day. Just need a unit that will accept you.

Seems pretty clear. Call your local ESGR office. https://www.esgr.mil/USERRA/USERRA-Contact.aspx If the employer has half a brain, a simple call from the ESGR rep will fix anything before it gets big.

Haha. Either locked or epic by Monday. I vote epic. mar69, I tried to warn you after one of your other 3 posts.

Step 1. Graduate High School Step 2. Get into an Academy, college, OTS and/or ROTC Step 3. Finish top of your class so you earn a pilot slot Step 4. Pass API and IFS Step 5. Pass ground school Step 6. Don't puke your brains out pre-solo ... ... ... ... Step 69. Worry about F-35s, Hornets, and NSS scores Really man, don't post again about anything else until you are a few more steps down the road. Focus, my friend. It's a long road.

In Alabama? Or on base?

No way I can cover them all, but from this page: IFS: Introductory Flight Screening - flying a DA-20 at Pueblo for a few rides. GCS: Ground Control Station - the box you'll sit in HO: Holloman AFB, NM UDM: Unit Deployment Manager - responsible for getting deployers ready and out the door LRE: Launch and Recovery Element - the guys at the deployed location that land and takeoff the RPA FTU: Flying Training Unit - your schoolhouse to learn to fly your RPA MCE: Mission Control Element - the guys back in the US that fly the mission portion of the RPA flight That'll get you started.

Unless you read the notes and argue they apply. I successfully avoided a requal ADSC with note 1b.

Wait, what? Was one of them the snacko?

It's not really a loophole. The Roth TSP is analogous to a Roth 401K available at lots of civilian companies. (And actually theirs is often better with matching) So yes, you can get more money under the Roth umbrella using both accounts, and you should.

Nice soundbite. Toyota makes 4 of the top 10 Most American vehicles. #5 is the Tundra. 7 of the top 10 are Honda or Toyota. As recently as 2011, the Tundra was more "American" than the F-150. So if you want American-made in 2014, just don't buy GM or Dodge. (In fairness, yes, I know there are other indexes with different weightings that end up with different results. Point is nothing is "American" or "Foreign" anymore.) My GM truck was built in Indiana. So was my Toyota Highlander.)

Had a 98 Tacoma for years. Beat the hell out of it off-road and it never missed a beat. If I had the $$ and didn't mind the size (bigger than Ford/GMC), I'd get a Tundra. As it is, my next truck will be another Tacoma. My current GMC has been a pain.

At least he has cool aviators.

No. 17,500 + 5,500.

Unless the reenlistees have a habit of making mountains out of molehills in other situations and he doesn't want them in his unit.

Take the denial and go to something other than a slick 130 that you can stay in for a tour or three. Being is a dying community is bad enough, worse for a nav.

FIFY.

If you need a moral waiver, you're probably screwed for now. Those were easier to get when we had two large scale shooting wars going on. So give it a year and we'll have at least two shooting wars again.

Arsenal. So both? Not Quicken or that kinda thing.

I have a trust. I got it so I can share my stuff easier. Suppressors aren't a big deal crossing state lines/moving, assuming you're moving to a suppressor-friendly state SBR is a much bigger pain. I won't get any SBRs until I'm settled somewhere.

I do think he should have been there. As much as he wants to pretend it's not, this is his war now. He's chosen this ill-fated advisor mission as the way forward. He needs to take a very personal interest in the success, failures, and hardships of those involved in the mission.

I get he should have been there, but I would never want any President at any event that was personal for me. Funeral, wedding, bar mitzvah... he brings entirely too much pain for everyone else there to be worth whatever hollow statement. So maybe the family was glad he was playing golf.
