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.

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

Mother Novosel doesn't have the same ring to it.

Have you “upgraded” to the new TSP account?

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.

Ok, then. I'm not too picky.

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.

I just saw Huggy on YouTube. All I can say is don’t misidentify a Dragonfly as a Tweet.

You're right, negative since 2017 is impressively bad stock picking!

Those obvious dangerous/combat jobs are certainly included, but there are lots that aren't so tip of the spear.

You need it with you. They ask for it every CQ. Just put it in your airline "war wallet" with your passport, medical, pilot certificate, yellow fever shot, COVID shot (likely if not already for some countries), etc and forget about it until somebody asks for it.

You knew when they started correlating your ID card to your purchases to your PT test that it was only a matter of time. Your next PHA is going to have a list of your groceries next to your BMI. "I'm sorry, sir. I know you have knee pain after your time as an 82nd ALO, but because you ate a box of Twinkies, your knee pain is grocery - not service - related. 0%"

Hard Deck of 1000 feet to Keep My Balls Dry.

We had to whisk a loadmaster out of Iraq because he left his M9 on a pallet during offload and the base cops wanted to arrest him. Just think what damage ISIS could do with an M9!

15% in category. 100% success this month, but only because I played my "once or twice a year" trump cards. I won't have those same options next month. There are some other drop strategies I'm studying for future poor-staffing months involving trading bad coverage days for worse coverage days. It's certainly not as easy as it used to be.

So keep that ARC job at least through year one. Because you love serving your country and somebody has to fly that Key West det.

Transition from Draco is one thing in the short term. That’s not much of a hurdle and not really what I’m talking about. You’ll have freshly winged Lts soon and the original post I replied to referenced tracks and drops.

So T-1 dudes will go to the 802 because staffing, not because T-1 training is the right training for a single-pilot mission. We'd be better off leaving them in T-6s longer and giving them T-6B/C training. We could call it UPT 2.5. Oh, and not only will the AF have to compete with the airlines at the end of pilot commitments, they'll have to compete with SEAT and ag jobs. 😆 CalFire and its subs thank you for your 2000 hours in type.

I don't know anything, but No.

I found BQZip’s mom on a corner in the Bronx but I couldn’t zoom out far enough for a screenshot.

That’s pretty close to the cumulative airline v O5 pay difference over 10-15 years. $150k in the AF, $200-250k in the airlines.

The constraints were set because they used an existing framework: AFCS PAQ. You can argue they should have used a different framework or created a standalone program, but the constraints aren’t arbitrary and definitely aren’t unique to this CAIP program. https://afciviliancareers.com/recentgraduates/

By describing the landlord and Cara using gender binary pronouns of "him" and "her," respectively, the Brits are reinforcing the patriarchy wherein the male holds the power of property ownership and the female is relegated to the role of subservient, dependent tenant. Furthermore, they are reinforcing the heteronormative, chauvinist worldview by establishing the toxic male as the aggressor upon the female. A gender nonconforming example would have been much more appropriate.

The UK example is offensively heteronormative.

While I wouldn’t turn down more money, money won’t fix this. The training pipelines are busting at the seams right now. The planned schedules are a complete pipe dream. Dudes and dudettes are flying their asses off for premium pay. Once a crew times out, all the money in the world can’t move the airplane. Only a time machine to April 2020 to prevent the overreaction and spite could fix your delay to Denver.
