How did you dodge Wic?

We need to start a new thread to talk about E-9s as that would be a large topic.

Ah. Makes sense. Interesting story. Want to exchange LOA stories over a beer?

The expense is in life. Who cares about the dollars compared to that.

Let’s hear the other story

Depends state to state what the state doc is willing to accept. It may be approvable but they might still say no. RPA is an option. I wouldn’t do it active duty though if I were him.

Crazy.

Sorry. Having a little trouble following what we are talking about. What’s going on?

Any ideas?

Those of you in the guard familIar with the bonus, if you stop in the middle of one of your years in the bonus do you get any credit for that partial year?

You must be cyber. I can’t cuss in this forum without being censored. I’m in awe.

Guessing English is his third language behind Klingon and emoji.

I say we meet for Duck’s separation party and let a super drinkoff tournament ensue until no one remembers who won and we have a good time.

Wow.....well done. You’ve won.

Wow. Obviously you don’t know any of Duck’s history. Seriously? You’re wading into a conversation you know very little about and giving big opinions. Good job. But no one asked you. Thanks for your service. If you indeed have served. You could have stuck to the nice statements and asked questions of what you don’t understand. Is that a polite enough correction? How thick is your skin?

You’re right. You didn’t. You assumed what it meant. Is this general Chang?

Because you assume he knows for sure that he isn’t eligible. Even when he tells you straight up he doesn’t know. How is that fraud? People like you who make all encompassing assumptions of what’s wrong with the process are part of what’s wrong with the AF. Keep it up. You’ll go far by today’s general standards.

He’s not committing fraud if he applies for something he isn’t 100% sure that he is or isn’t eligible for. Dramatic much?

True. However not your problem. If you don’t know that to be the case 100% then I would press to test and then make someone else tell you no.

Money if you don’t join guard or reserves?

Read the book about Afghanistan from back before when the Russians are there. Read, I think it is, Ghost Wars. In it Robert Gates makes something like a $20 bet with a co worker that the Russians won’t leave any time soon. He was largely in charge of the American involvement at the time. So based on his $20 bet, I would wager he had little to no exit strategy hence us abandoning completely the people we were there to help and planting the seeds of their hate against us. I realize there is a lot of hate there anyways but Robert Gates didn’t help and shouldn’t be praised because we have been there for the last 17 years and that can be tied back to him. I don’t know why he gets so much praise and not much criticism on these points.

I did it under the older leave rules. However it depends on your cc. If he doesn’t really care to give you permissive paper work to fill out then I wouldn’t tell a soul. I agree. Doesn’t seem to be legal now though.

Especially if it is a stand alone unit. No active duty to be seen. If it is a TFI, they usually are as bad if not worse than active duty because not only do you have your unit expectations to live up to. You have the active duty’s brow beating as well. But at least you don’t have to move or do involuntary 365’s. Oh wait. That’s coming to a guard and reserve unit near you now. TFI sucks.

When and where???????

Not true
