  1. 2, same on firefox...says "account suspended."
  2. or that he only has to forfeit $3678 in pay...YGBSM.
  3. I'm civ-civ. And if when I was AD I asked to be at the same base as my wife and then complained about our schedules once I was there, I would punch myself in the jejunum.
  4. This sounds like a shitty question from a bathroom trivia book...testing for stupid "gotchas" is probably what influenced the "cooperation" to begin with. Test on the material they actually need to know, and treat them like officers with a real responsibility (because they are).
  5. I don't have a dog in this fight, but has someone made a timeline with all these bullshit "announcements" that no one knows anything about? Might come in handy in the near future...
  6. a "new" nuclear vision has nothing to do with a commander that is so out of touch she thinks tater tots are a reward for her troops.

    $2700?! Jesus...what drives a price like that over other ARs?
  8. That depends on your definition of SHTF. $4k in a checking account would be worth less than $4k in ammo in some (extreme) scenarios. If you want to S some D under a bridge on month 5 after a RIF, have at it.
  9. My $.01...build up your emergency fund first; $4k is barely 1 months pay. After that, max out your ROTH. Then, diversify with some low-cost ETFs...those are relatively liquid for when you're ready to purchase a house (unless you do a VA loan).
  10. Stract- FWIW, When I separated in Sept, they would move my stuff to my HOR, or where I entered active duty; they were essentially the same place for me. I made a good amount of money renting the biggest U-Haul possible and road-tripping with the old lady. Your TMO should brief you on this crap in your initial out-processing briefing. PM me with any questions.
  11. unless there's some fuzzy math happening to stir the hornet's nest...uningbelievable.
  12. Can I get one?
  13. This is important...hindsight is 20/20, and you can't go on kicking yourself or saying "I should have..." Take a look at why those companies have done so well, and how it can help you find the next GOOG/NFLX/PCLN.
  14. Haven't read his shit, but you don't sound like Dave Ramsey's target audience. Like AM said, how diversified are you? Do you have $18k split between 3 auto/airline/fleshlight stocks? Look into ETFs that offer inherent diversification like mutual funds, but usually have lower fees and higher liquidity.
  15. 2 Great point. Back when I took it, the interest rate was 2%, and you could get 4% through their savings. It was stupid not to take it. As with everything investing, YMMV.
  16. I always shook my head when I saw the newly-minted SSgt pull up in his new BMW/Benz. They drove WAY nicer cars than I did, and I was making over 2x their base pay (not bragging). We do our young guys a disservice by not teaching a basic finance course at BMT/FTAC, even if it might fall on deaf ears.
  17. That's cool, man. Just remember half the country (and Canada, too) is of below-average intelligence, and some of us don't need "baby steps."
  18. Just googled Dave Ramsey, and he seems nothing more than a greasy businessman touting common-sense financial tips. He had to file bankruptcy early, bases some of his lessons/material on "Primerica" (pyramid scheme), and is promoted by one the best financial schemes going (religion). If you don't know that money earning money > money losing money, you should probably run for Comptroller of Detroit.
  19. Again...never said they're the same (see above: hyperbole). Who benefited from Snowden's leak? I refuse to believe our military near-peers had no clue about the extensive data-mining our govt uses to hunt our enemies. The only people surprised by the reports were Americans that put too much trust in their government.
  20. Never said anything about penalties. It was hyperbole. You break a law, you are a criminal. Yes and no. Why do you disagree?
