  1. Neither do the Bobs. They'll leave the AF just as perplexed as they are today. Then, they'll join various defense contractors as board members/advisors to continue not solving said problems.
  2. I applied & was accepted into the pool. If nothing else, an accepted application is good for 5 years. Apply & give yourself the option. My understanding is you don't teach anything other than JROTC military classes, you shouldn't be teaching calc. That said, there are extracurriculars like field trips to AF bases, retreat ceremonies etc. you may have to lead. As far as the $$ work, I know the schools minimally have to close the gap between your retired pay & what you're currently making (base pay), but beyond that not sure on stipends. Someone else will have to chime in. Congrats on retirement BTW.
  3. I think he means elimination of landing A-1.
  4. Gotta agree with Danger41 here. Frau and I left our beloved doggo with the in-laws for 3 years while we were assigned to Japan. Was great to get away to Guam, Hawaii, Australia, S. Korea and other places without worrying about the dog. Not to mention, lack of a pet increased our housing options.
  5. "Although the USAF footed the bill for her education, Roberta’s degree did not come without a personal price. In exchange for a world class education, Roberta agreed to give the United States Air Force at least ten years of dedicated service. " My UPT commitment was only 8 years. I guess the AF really wanted their pound of flesh back in the day.
  6. Based on your post, I'm fairly sure you're right. It's exactly the reason why we encouraged senior CGOs/junior FGOs to hit their second gate (120) before staff. They could then take a 3 year assignment, keep getting their pay, and return to flying later for their third gate. They should have coded your entitlement code as continuous & your status code as inactive. See AFMAN 11-402 para 3.9.
  7. Gotta love the 4-ship NDB procedure turn off a shitty SKE scope in the wx.
  8. Probably. But I expended all my satire skills on the last post.
  9. A "Personnel Services Delivery Memorandum" is usually a 6-9 page document the authors should have condensed into 3 paragraphs. "Staffing" means all the Bobs get to keep it in circulation until the oxford comma dispute is settled.
  10. The fact you get paid is the same, but they differ in form. The SBP is for life vs. the term one-time payout. I guess I could do the math on the NPV of the annuity vs. the term, but I didn't go that far. Your point is well-taken. 🍻
  11. If Clark keels over day 1, then SBP assuming you've selected your full salary as the "base". The Mrs. would get recurring income for the rest of her life & you will not have paid a bunch of SBP premiums. Moving away from the day 1 scenario, at what point do you think you'll have enough invested to permit your family to handle all the debt/goals etc. without any additional income? If that's today, then maybe no insurance policy is the way to go. If it's in the next 20 years when you're both pushing 60, then maybe 20 years is the relevant timeframe to look at SBP vs. a term policy. Full disclosure, I ended up selecting SBP. YMMV.
