  1. Congrats! Interesting that you had disapproval’s, I thought inside of 6 was a sure thing.
  2. Which is also basically the same attitude our national leadership has regarding Afghanistan and our endless wars in the Middle East
  3. Why do you prefer bad elf to stratus?
  4. Same, thanks for sharing your experience
  5. Did this kid run over the 4-star’s dog and get his daughter pregnant?
  6. Also.. GPC limit is pretty high now, $20K? at LRAFB, we are supposed to be getting a “super GPC” (held by the Group RAs) that is supposed to have a crazy high limit.. $200+K. They say it’ll be here by FY20
  7. Checks, plan on submitting one year out from the requested separation date. Have a few more months to wait.
  8. How far prior to your requested separation date did you submit the PC app?
  9. Not a new transfer. You can add kids and swap months without incurring additional time
  10. Just a Herk driver with no clue in the world.. landing configuration at 6000 feet? No way, that seems crazy. Is that standard ops for a 767?
  11. Earliest you can submit a PC app is 12 months from your requested separation date?
  12. The revocation status of the smart card certificate used for authentication could not be determined. Thanks Comm.
  13. A good squadron buddy of mine went through this last year... if I could give you one piece of advice from the observer POV..even if you think you can do everything amicably, still get a lawyer.. his started out with her being reasonable and agreeing to things but devolved into some awful shit and ended up involving lawyers
  14. hopefully they don’t overpay for them and then ask for the extra to be wired back through western union
  15. I thought the AirBnB memo was rescinded. Just talk to your AO though, if you gave me a constructed travel worksheet I’d let it fly.
  16. That's kinda my point. Wealthy people still live in and buy stuff in Texas, so I don't think the decrease in spending every materialized. Are the poor worse off in Texas than if they were in any other state? Don't know. The big plus to me is that everyone participates.
  17. How about consumption tax married with universal basic income? I would think the Left could get on board with that. Has an income tax replaced by a consumption tax ever been tried? Seems like there are states with no income tax that seem to do alright.. also seems like some states with high income taxes that aren’t doing so hot. Do we *know* it will discourage spending enough to severely impact the economy?
  18. Thanks for the thorough reply, I appreciate it. I’m gonna have to read it a few times to make sure I understand it all
  19. FedEx question, What’s the relative seniority in a seat required to hold double dead heads? Just looking to educate myself and the spouse on differences between airlines.
  20. I’m curious as to how you guys tackle the problem. Sq/RA is my third additional duty.. I think I’d advise to create a voucher, zero out all the per diem and entitlements, just pay as if it was a one-day trip. I think this functionality might already be present in DTS.
  21. Disagree with your huge culture divide with respect to the herk community. Culture divide yes, huge no. If you talked to your line herk pilots, 90% would be chomping at the bit to do more with the herk, especially regarding weapons or sensors. The issue is the risk adverse leadership above the squadron and group. Also, we have enough beans and missions as it is that it would be difficult to maintain proficiency in an even more diverse set of tasks. Slick J models do everything MCs do except air refueling, FARP and one or two airdrop varieties. There’s a reason ac-130 crews don’t haul cargo and airdrop as well. They could dual qual ac/mc, but you’d have probably get a poor product.
  22. As a suggestion.. use your GTC for booking and pick-up of a rental car because you fall under the governments negotiated insurance policy.. upon return, if no damage to the car, have them switch the payment over to your personal credit card so you can get the points. My friend only only uses his GTC for DTS airline travel and the above rental car scenario. 10 yrs, airlift guy, no issues
  23. Congrats! How much time were you asking off, which ADSC and what’s your AFSC? If you don’t mind. Looking for trend data.
  24. Copy, I plan to establish a separation date right at the one year out point--I'm not too concerned with showing my cards early. But, there is a 6 month window prior to being able to establish the separation date, yet still vulnerable to get tagged with a deployment that will take me past my ADSC that I'm concerned about. I know it's not common to get tagged 12 months prior to a deployment, but it's not unheard of either..
