[Information on PCS/moves/moving (DITY, TMO, DLA, storage)]

Hey quick question that may have been answered... I'm PCS'ing soon, and would like to take permissive TDY at my new duty location for house hunting. I'm trying to live on base, but the wait list is long, so I want to have options open. Do I request PTDY from my losing unit? Which office handles the paperwork?

[Credit Cards / Cash Back & Rewards Options]

FYSA, Barclaycard reduces your APR to 0% under the SCRA (debt does not have to be prior to entering service). The Arrival+ card effectively gives 2.2% back that can be redeemed for travel and is definitely worth a look. I'm told Citi does 0% as well, but can't personally confirm that yet.

Edit: Citi responded to my SCRA request stating that only accounts opened prior to military service are eligible for relief.

Barclaycard will reduce APR to 0% for length of service, remove annual fee ($90ish), and waive any other kind of fee (cash advance, foreign transaction, etc)

That coupled with the 2x miles and 40,000 bonus miles for spending $3000 in the first 90 days is why the Arrival+ is my new favorite card.

[Taking FAA Test at Advanced Instrument School (OKC)]

Has anyone tried taking an FAA test at the Advanced Instrument School in Oklahoma City? I'm trying to take my Military Comp test for commercial license and heard it's free to take it through the USAF. Looking to save a hundred bucks or so, and the POC listed hasn't returned/answered my calls.

[Why Flight Surgeons Fly.]

I saw a flight surgeon accidentally drop a glove. Went straight through the left engine and caked most of it in green goo. The NOMEX didn't catch fire at least.
