B-17 down @ Wings Over Dallas Airshow
I don't think it's as nefarious as it might seem. Air Race/Show is simply an established category of "Purpose of Flight" under General Aviation Operations. It's likely as innocuous as the investigator checking boxes on his iPad and this is the one that best fit.

Timeframe for T-1 retirement
If you’re a T-1 Reservist living near CBM looking for a PIRR gig and you want to stay near CBM, DM me.

Gun Talk
My opinion is those are too personalized to gift. Holsters are like bras. Both gotta fit the way you want or they’re coming off. So I only buy uncomfortable ones for my wife.

The Next President is...
She is trying to convince us just that - she's changed her position. She's an inverse Charlie Crist and I think her real staying power will be about the same.

Gun Talk
A training class. 101 if they’re new to guns. Something fun and tacticool if they’re experienced.

Regret leaving
Stayed ARC for the benefits and I’m happy I did that, but regret leaving AD? Not even a little bit.

The WOKE Thread (Merged from WTF?)
Oh, that's racist, too. You have to raise cows to eat hamburgers. Cow farts cause global warming. Global warming disproportionately affects people of color. Ergo, hamburgers are racist.

The Congressman is back yo
Pompeo wasn't in the seat during that part. Blinken had taken over by then. Pompeo's certainly going to distance himself from events after January 2021.

Plenty of civilian flow hires got seniority numbers weeks or months ahead of actually starting class.

ANG/AFR Chances
So a 5 on DD785? Just call it that. A 5 is no joke and I sense caginess in you, bro. I wouldn't hire you. Hopefully you'll be more forthcoming with an interview board. With a 5 on DD785 you'll need a waiver at the very least.

Lighten Up Francis!
Damage to the main shaft at 6969 Collins Ave, Miami Beach. Engineers aren't sure how long it will stay erect and residents are ordered to pull out. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/miami-beach/article267933272.html

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
Yep. Vote with your wallet. Weird thing is, he still seems to care a whole lot about the voting habits of a state he's boycotting. I'd love to see him fully boycott GA. He can boycott it so thoroughly that he can pretend it doesn't exist.

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
Boycotting Georgia over a voting bill that had nothing to do with him for one. (BTW, Georgia broke voting turnout records last week.) I know, I know...you'll say that's not interference. I'm glad to hear you're ok with the Koch brothers' influence. Reading is hard, eh?

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
Funny, that’s the same Mark Hamill that felt it necessary to interfere with democracy here at home 2 years ago. Weird.

USAA
I think I'm going that way - at least for 2 out of 3. US ATM reimbursements, 2% rewards card, good index fund investing, good-enough balance forecasting (because most of my expenses will be on the linked 2% card and I can autopay my other big expenses). Obviously that leaves insurance elsewhere, but maybe specialized labor is a good thing.

USAA
Well USAA just decided to drop their ATM fee reimbursement from $15 to $10 per month. Gotta find that Gronk money somewhere I guess.

Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Q&A
Have you “upgraded” to the new TSP account?
-
Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Q&A
Short answer, no. i use Fidelity full view. I manually input my TSP balance as fully invested in S&P 500 index because I’m 100% C. It tracks decently well with my actual TSP balance. I can’t wait to roll my TSP into a more user friendly account.

USAA
Just opened a Navy Fed account this morning. They have a local branch for me, too, which will be handy every once in a while.
