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. -
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.

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?

Edit: Nevermind - I was wrong.

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

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.

Mil pilots can already use their 1042 (or equivalent) in lieu of a Class 3.

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

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.

Syracuse has a thing that sounds like TAP, but better. You can get a PMP (Project Management) cert if you think it'll help you get a job. I'm going to try it out. https://vets.syr.edu/education/employment-programs/

Nice job thinking out of the box and all. But save the Barney Fife lectures for high schools and FTAC. If I haven't figured out by now that drunk driving is dangerous and expensive, a shocking slideshow won't help.

Isn't it a sad commentary that the highest ranking officer in the Air Force says, "Guys, don't waste your time with a Master's," and we say collectively, "Nice try, but no thanks. We don't trust you. We're not going to change a thing." I fear it's a bridge too far to fix the underlying issues.

The issue is not with lodging. Your non-A does not have to say 100 days. The issue, however, is with your finance shop. Per the JFTR you can stay the other 96 days off base and they cannot legally refuse to pay you. You're a guard guy presumably staying with one unit for many, many years. You know your unit better than any of us. Will it burn bridges to spend several grand extra out of the budget? Sometimes what's legal and what's right are different.

I've been following https://www.tspallocation.com/ for a few months. I like his analysis. He's been S fund for the entire time I've been following him. He follows the business cycle investing theory, like Fidelity talks about here.

Not exactly. It's called the "Supervised Operating Experience" restriction. If you don't meet these you get it: So a single engine fighter guy won't have a type in a Multi-Engine Land airplane and won't have been an AC in a military MEL. He can qualify under C if he did 500 hours in MC-12s or some other multi-engine land airplane. You can get the restriction removed after 15 or 25 hours of acting as PIC under the supervision of a qualified PIC. So basically it doesn't matter because you'll get it removed when you upgrade to Captain. It's all here if you want to read it: https://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgFAR.nsf/0/F7DF5EE953BA576186256EE0006FD4D6?OpenDocument

I searched for "Bergdahl" and chose "Forums" and it showed 5 threads. Search Function Inop? ?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent> Choosing Google instead of Forums did limit it to one thread.

You think the machine learns lessons and you think one lowly pilot going tactical DNIF will teach that lesson? You're mistaken. They're going to delete me from the spreadsheet, put your name in, and not blink an eye. If there was nobody left to put in cell B24 and it stayed red, they'd think, "Hm, now what?" But that's not going to happen. If it starts to happen, they'll change the rules. ("We don't have enough MC-12 sensors. Extend everyone indefinitely." It happened.) No learning takes place. No shitstorm realization. In the end, the only one that feels ANY pain is you.

Holy shit he nailed it. Cut and paste most of that post in the "Why I'm getting out" thread and sign my name to it. Fuck no. I will leave with my dignity intact. I'll do everything in my power to get out (VSP, Palace Chase, Palace Front, 7 day opt, whatever other program they dream up...) but I'm not going to lie and pass my bad deal to you. I'm not going to look my son in the eye and tell him I got what I wanted because I lied.
-
We have a couple guys currently deployed that were approved for VSP. So not the exact same, but close. They already moved their DOS to 4 months after they return. I think the window is you have to separate between 30 and 120 days after your return from your deployment.

You could open a 529 plan for your kid's college to tax shelter part of your VSP. https://personal.vanguard.com/us/funds/529portfolios
