Trucks
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.

Yokota AB info
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.

What are my chances for UPT with a delinquent background?
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.

Leaving Afghanistan
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.

Leaving Afghanistan
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.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Friday at 1630: "Hey Major, would you please get comm to update my rank in the global?" "Yessir!" Friday at 1900: "Hey comm MSgt, the general wants his rank fixed now!" Saturday at 0700: "Airman, get into work right now and fix the global!!" Monday at 0729: "General sir, your email is fixed as you asked!"

Veteran reemployment programs/initiatives?
I'm doing the same track, same term. I plan to use every flying schedule, exercise, deployment, database, air show, and open house I've worked on for my 7500 hours. As long as you can classify it as initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, or closing, it sounds like you'll be ok.

Palace Chase info
Why would you rule it out? Push the button and make them tell you no. I have no idea what the 11F manning is right now (besides low), but I certainly wouldn't make their decision for them.

Push to integrate deaf individuals into the AF
If they'll sit in finance and fix my DTS/PCS voucher/DITY promptly via email, I say bring em on. But I agree, it's more social experiment on a captive populace by the California Democrat than a realistic future.

Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate
You cropped out his "But for military" part, which I'm almost certain is how you pulled off your PPL-ATP. So you didn't even do the mil-comp commercial written?

That's the SB 15 brace he mentioned. Google it.

Laughlin AFB info
Doesn't seem like you're that confused. It all goes away. My current base has a stipulation about if you're in the top 10% or something of power users, then you get charged extra. Base housing is probably a pretty decent deal if you're a 2Lt. Probably not so good of a deal if you're a Capt and you get the same "CGO" house. Call the housing office and get on their list. They'll probably want a copy of your orders emailed to them. Usually once you leave your previous base, you're put on the list and they're assigned in that order. Don't know Laughlin housing office specifics, but I bet Hunt does.

If you mean Osan or Okinawa, then you're in luck. Otherwise, I'm afraid not.

FAA Medical physical ?s
Mil pilots can already use their 1042 (or equivalent) in lieu of a Class 3.

Veteran reemployment programs/initiatives?
Got it - thanks. I think the world might implode, though. At least 2 of us are grateful to be enrolled in an AF CBT.

Veteran reemployment programs/initiatives?
In the PMP program, was there interview and resume help, too? I was torn between the PMP and the other track because what I really want is the interview and resume help, but the PMP could be very useful if I end up pursuing a non-flying career.
