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.

unless there's some fuzzy math happening to stir the hornet's nest...uningbelievable.

Can I get one?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Never said anything about penalties. It was hyperbole. You break a law, you are a criminal. Yes and no. Why do you disagree?

test edit: hit reply, little green bars, then nothing. (my reply used to appear immediately) hit refresh, and my post is there. edit 2: WIndows 7, Firefox 23.0.1

Off-topic, but do you have any good -117 stories? Combat/early flying buffoonery/govt interference?

Have you ever sped on the way to work? You are too. I have little problem with Snowden's actions (Manning is a different story). I would be hesitant to call him a hero, but what he did was very important (albeit probably fruitless in the long run.)

split a 2013 Bourbon County Brand Stout with the Old Man on NYE. Very boozy (its 14% abv), lots of chocolate, caramel, black licorice, and a bit of bourbon, but you can taste the potential for aging. Looking forward to cracking one in several years.

Pajaro- Congrats...you have a shitload of money! Disclaimer: I am a unemployed bum with little financial education from a state school, so keep that in mind. IMHO, you need to diversify. You have 59% of your net worth in one fund. Granted, that fund has kicked ass the past few years, but there have been a few HUGE "corrections" since its inception. You can call USAA and speak to a financial advisor (for free), and they can give you a more educated opinion about how to protect your money.

If it benefits him more than his fellow service members, the answer is pretty obvious...welcome to politics.

Ummm...any reason you can't just eat better and work out?

my apologies, sir...here's some footage of my cat and mouse that should keep you entertained through the new year!
