Had a buddy ask me about divorce law and the Obama federal change to it. Didn’t know how to answer. Figured there were some people in the know on here that can help. He got divorced prior to : https://apgnews.com/community-news/legal-note-divorce-military-pensions/ passing. So his divorce says he is suppose to give her 50% of the days married while in the service. Then that percentage carried out over his whole service. For easy math if they were married for 10 Years of service and he served 20 and retired she would be entitled to 50% of 10 years which would be 25% total of his entire service worth of retire pay at his retired amount. The new federal law passed says that the divorced spouse’s share freezes at the rank when divorced. So if he was a captain when divorced then a LtCol at retirement she only gets 25% of 20 years at the captain rate which is less than the above method. Since he was divorced prior to this law does it negate it or when he retires will this be the rule they are suppose to go by? He is going back to court and needs to know if they need to spend the effort and money in getting the divorce decree changed to match the federal law. Any help is appreciated. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

I doubt they will ever be used to nurse in but pump. Kids ain’t coming to work with them. And how many people does this affect over what span of time. Very few for a short time. Unless your General Chang and nurse till you’re 48 months.

Going to say without a doubt NO. Never is it ok for any enlisted to TELL an officer to take out the trash. It could be the chief master sergeant of the AF telling the newest butter bar and it wouldn’t be okay. That dude has served one day and the CMSgt of the AF likely over 30 years. And the butter bar still out ranks him. Doesn’t matter if the commander told the MSgt to deliver a message to the captain. That’s the commanders fault for involving the MSgt. Enlisted don’t speak with authority from officers to officers. Superintendents are some of the worst offenders of abuse of perceived power over officers or throwing officers under the bus to fellow enlisted. Needs to be shut down in a hurry Is it okay to ask? Mentor? Advise? Resounding yes. This is a symptom of organizational break down and poor leadership. A simple one on one correction could be made with said enlisted. Don’t make it a public event of criticism. May sound like a rough position but we ain’t the civil air patrol or the scouts. There is rank for a reason. Please provide context.

Doubt it. Especially since they recently made it mandatory for nearly every building on base to have a breast feeding room with a bunch of amenities and it can’t be the bathroom. Took away a lot of office space for buildings that couldn’t really afford it and they aren’t used. Just more social justice warriors creeping into military life weakening it

Not even close. There is almost nothing about love or families in this movie. IMO it blows Pearl Harbor out of the water and has the added benefit of not having Ben Affleck (sp) in it.

Pretty sure trump would get you out of trouble if there was trouble to be had.

If if it hasn’t been diagnosed. If you had a sore joint after sleeping funny, mention it.

And I would make sure the VA rep on your final medical appointment knows every little thing.

Anyone got eyes on the new JTR? Any big picture changes?

Should all be posted on MyPers. For all Guard, active, and reserves.

That’s awesome. Half tempted to sign another bonus and hit retirement then pay it back slowly. Would help with first year pay anyways.

Good thing about guard paying back bonus, you can pay it back very slowly with no interest. At least that’s what I’ve heard.

What if you don’t have a GTC? I’ve heard of people that travel on their personal cards all the time

She’s a she. Guessing she wasn’t a good pilot or leader. It was entirely her being a her in an age where it is important to claim we are diverse fighting force. And after it became ok to be gay in the military the military wants to promote the diversity lie even more. And she goes further towards the top because she was the right gender, right sexual preference, at the right time. And this goes to show that promoting things like this just because gender or sexual preference makes us a weaker fighting force because we have to focus on stupid things like this instead of being the best we can be at our military jobs. And the sad thing is this kind of mentality isn’t rare. It’s happening everywhere. This one just gets the spot light because she is who she is and a squeaky wheel getting grease at this time. Our enemies are laughing at us. This and NIPR computer network and random nonsense military requirements (and the fluoride in the water) make us so weak.

Correct. Because that is the way you fix a bucket with holes, add more water.

Shhhhh all is well. Fingers says the crisis is over!

Does diversity equal genitalia or skin color? Asking for a friend.

Thanks. Interesting and sad read.

Copy and paste here or it didn’t happen

Is this good or bad?

Probably the guys who will be generals some day.

Anyone like these things?

Which jacket are we talking about? The ugly new green flight jacket?

Please define major so we can talk at the same level

I searched. Couldn’t find anything
