To support or not…
I like your idea, but he’s also the same guy that recommended How to be an anti racist and a couple other modern woke titles. He spun it as mental horizon-broadening, and maybe he meant that, but he still used his endorsement to appeal to or appease a woke crowd. They all play the games.

I think it doesn't matter. There's not an Olds or a Schwarzkopf waiting in the wings to assume CJCS. Any candidate will have the same recent history as CQB, or they wouldn't be in the running.

Y’all have free internal company mail? A system used to send stuff around the country on company iron?

Biden recalls IRR
It could affect all the dudes that went to ALO or CAP-USAF. I don't believe it's likely, but they're IRR and still very much reachable. If any IRR gets non-vol'd, I think it'll be Army.

Retirement / Separation Considerations
Yeah, I’d pass on that one. As a larger point, do a skillbridge in a non-pilot industry. The airlines will still be an option afterwards and you’ll have some connections outside our typical wheelhouse.

Active duty switch from from heavy to fighter
FIFY before your VA physical.

Retire then Hire Program
You mean like the airline captain including his fighter hours and number of traps in his announcements? I bet you could even find a USAF Vet hat to wear.

The Next President is...
You can't fight city hall so it's incumbent on us then to work smarter not harder. Starting a business? Your wife better own it, especially if she's a veteran. Your (assumedly not deadbeat) early-career adult kids have access to cheaper credit? Rent your house from them. Use UTMAs and 529s (especially with the new Roth rollover rules). Fund Roth IRAs for your kids. Bunch your charitable tax deductions with a DAF. "Eat the rich" isn't going away. Better make yourself unappetizing.

ADOs, too! That’s where the real work is done. DOs are just figure heads! 😇

Money and Finance
Beware pro rata. Move any Trad IRA money into a Trad 401k if at all possible. Try to do the contribution and conversion in the same calendar year as the tax year. ie not between 1 Jan and 15 Apr. Makes the bookkeeping easier. Be careful with your tax software if you DIY. I find it’s not always intuitive to make the actual forms read correctly. I always check the actual 8606 (not just the tax software questions) against an example before I file.

Need to be on active orders for 30+ days, so yeah, I’d say you’re covered. I’d call, I bet they’ll handle it. edit: looks like you can handle it online. https://www.americanexpress.com/us/help-support/service-members-civil-relief/

What's wrong with the Air Force?
So you haven’t read the Emancipation Proclamation, huh? Wrong again.

bose a20 free to a good home
Anyone need a military Bose headset? I've had one sitting in my cabinet for a few years since I quit flying Herks. It's one of the earlier models. I have two low-impedance cords for it. Free to a good mil pilot home - don't be a douche and eBay it. **Claimed**

Family Dental Insurance
But it doesn’t cover half of $5k. $1,750 isn’t nothing and you might decide it’s still worth it but go in with eyes wide open.
