Maybe not so weird. Generally the same way Miculek runs his - must be something to it. Cheek weld and all that.

Wow.

Water proof/tear proof checklists
Nope. Never used em. I'd probably look for Tyvek that works with a laser printer. They're out there and I'm sure you can find some first hand experiences.

FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
I would have needed 8 months of UPT and 15 months for PCS waived. Mine didn't reach AFPC until last week, after sitting at the WG/CC for weeks. I knew I was a long shot from the beginning with an overage of only 18 (?).

FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
Officially denied VSP today. I thought I'd have to wait until 1 May to get the inevitable email. 2003 11M with ADSC left

My wife used part of mine to finish her BS and she's a stay at home mom. If I don't go back to school when I get out, I'll give the rest to my son if he needs it. I agree it didn't make financial sense in the short term, but now she has it if she ever has to work. The real reason, however, was that she wanted it and she's proud to be the only college graduate in her family.

KRFT is up .72% today. Coincidence? I think not. ETA: And they're dropping the energy bars! I lived off those BAF-issued breakfast bars for weeks. What were they? Kellogg's?- Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate

I'm not a finance pro, don't take anything I say as gospel... I don't see why it would matter. I'm a big fan of Vanguard, and they have a headline about this that says: "Converting assets from a traditional Vanguard IRA to an existing Vanguard Roth IRA" https://personal.vanguard.com/us/insights/taxcenter/tips-rothira-conversion So reading between the lines, an existing Roth isn't a problem at all for the backdoor, which is really just a special kind of IRA conversion. There are tax considerations if you have other traditional IRAs you're not converting, but I don't know enough about your situation to even guess how that'll play out. Give Vanguard or whoever you use a call - it's a relatively popular strategy. It's usually used by high earners, but the theory is the same for your married filing separately case.- TMO DITY/PPM Problems

- TMO DITY/PPM Problems
I'm having a problem with TMO and need regs/ammo to fight this. Story: PCSd from Florida to Wyoming with TDY enroute at Little Rock. Partial DITY/PPM the entire trip. I got empty and full weight tickets for both legs of the move. I filed my DITY paperwork and have received two payments. Here's the problem: They only paid me for 600 pounds Florida to LR and LR to WY. They are refusing to pay me for the remainder of my weight from FL to WY. As I understand it, I should have received payment for 600 pounds FL-LR-WY and the remainder of the weight from FL-WY. TMO here says they already "used" my 4 weight tickets on the 2x 600 pound moves and cannot reuse those weights for the remainder of my weight for the FL-WY move. He quoted me this JFTR Supplement as his basis of refusal: So... anyone got any ideas?- Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate

Sure, everyone wants a piece of that exploding advertising money pie. Exhibit A: Ruger stock- Karzai's Quote Of The Day
This caught me as a sad commentary on the future of Afghanistan. Karzai: "If there is no peace, then this agreement will bring misfortune to Afghanistan," he said. "Peace is our precondition. America should bring us peace and then we will sign it." https://www.reuters.com/article/2013/11/24/afghanistan-us-karzai-idUSL4N0J905P20131124 I scold my 3 year old son for shirking personal responsibility... Think someone will scold Karzai for the same?- Gun Talk

Got one happening right now. Walked into Finance at 0837. Male and female TSgts in the office. Female is on her cell phone. Me: "I'd like to outprocess." Male TSgt: "We open at 9, sir. We'll help you then." Where's Robin Olds when you need him?- Holster Requirements in OEF
I don't know the origin, but it's more than a rumor. This from way back in 08: I guess if that's a fight you want to pick, rock your horizontal shoulder holster. My goal there is/was anonymity.
