  1. Thanks. I should’ve asked if there was a DSG only offer. We had one a few years back in the Reserves, but I guess that’s been scaled down a bit or eliminated
  2. I can find the AD and AFRC bonus with this name on myFSS, is there an ANG version as well? My Wing's retention office is about as useful as a paper bag in a monsoon.. the only information they have fits the categories of none, little, and vague..
  3. Cobras!
  4. And we are all collectively paying for her degrees and probably future salary and health care!
  5. When does this rise to the threshold for domestic terrorism?

    Welcome to the jungle, lead in with banging on trash cans
  7. More loans? That don’t get paid off til they die, then the estate pays them with probably some sort of generous tax advantage. You know though, a good way to ensure everyone (ultra-rich, poor, legal, illegal) pay their fair share.. a national sales tax—tied to the elimination of other taxes of course.
  8. @ClearedHot What did you end up going with? My requirements are pretty minimal.. was thinking of just going with their cheapest single bay and a reasonable hard drive. Mostly just want to backup family photos and videos, organize and manage them, view/distribute as necessary. I would have said I am technically inclined.. but those penguins have long ago jumped off the iceberg. Synology definitely looks user friendly. Being able to expand and store home security footage in the future would be nice too. But maybe that needs to be a whole separate system?
  9. It counts for nothing
  10. Haven’t done a Google search.. how many other mental disorders have national visibility days? Do we have national schizo day? Or bi-polar awareness history month?
  11. Didn’t we lose or damage an F-22 because of TOLD? Story I remember is they were using numbers for sea level when it was actually in a high PA environment. Something like that.
  12. Choke the mission planner or DIRMOBFOR?
  13. You might be able to fly with other units. I have friends who did that in similar circumstances
  14. It was known from day one by anyone with a functioning brain. Sadly, that is less than 49% of our country.

    It’s been a while since I’ve been to either museum.. but I recall a depth vs breadth contrast between the two.
  16. If you’re under the new retirement system.. this is bad advice. If you front load your TSP, you lose out on some of the government match (5% max) in the remaining months of the year. To maximize dollars, you need to make plan out what you’ll make during the year and set a consistent percentage that allows you to hit the max during the final month of the year. OR, front load, like described above, but ensure you can contribute 5% yourself for all remaining months of the year.
  17. Be disciplined. If your plan is to make 1.6% for a few years, do that. I think TBills are paying around 5.5% if you’re worried about touching the money early.
  18. It needs to be interesting to you. I wanted to learn this stuff. Take notes as you read with one and paper, even if you never reference them, writing something down physically helps me remember. Also flash cards. And use your classmates, make study guides together.
  19. Traditional or Roth IRA. After tax 401k.
  20. 2024 President elect Trump in a GA prison would make for a fantastic reality tv season
  21. Spent 3.5 years in Germany as a young Lt/Capt with a dog, wife, no kids. We traveled all over Europe by car—made for some pretty cool experiences we would’ve missed without him (lab/put mix). Stuff like exploring historic parks in cities to get him a morning walk or hikes in random towns. Restaurants were mostly very dog friendly. Occasionally left him with a great German dog lady when we travelled by air. Zero regrets bringing our dog to Europe.
  22. Other than you.. who has made this assertion?
  23. Wtf https://www.foxnews.com/media/uk-court-rules-teen-rare-disorder-incapable-making-decisions-care-begging-live 19 yr old girl in UK is unable to pursue medical treatment she desires because UK court and her doctors think her death is inevitable/imminent. How the is this tolerated over there? And the gag order the hospital imposed on the family.. am I missing something obvious?
  24. Because it is a way to show you are “doing” something about an issue..
