    USAA

    Left USAA last month. Checking/Savings moved to AMEX - getting 4.6% in a high yeild savings account and 1% interest on checking + 1 reward point/ $2 spent. Insurance bundled housing, cars, motorcycle with Geico (Less than half the cost of what USAA was charging) Investments are with Fidelity and always have been (I used to work for them and they are great) I couldnt be happier - I recommend everyone to get quotes and do some research. USAA is screwing you.
  2. I am interested in buying a house for the purpose of being a crash pad at either Randolph or Sheppard. Does anyone here have experience with this? I had a few questions if anyone is willing to DM. Best, Mighty
  3. VAFB as of last week: Graduation limited to 50 people total. Only leadership, graduating students, and close family are aloud to attend. Prior to last week though, drop nights and graduations seemed to be going on pretty normal with a few exceptions (no red carpet sims or RSU tours.) The mask police were out in force at drop nights.
  4. Not required in my case - but my unit is on the west coast and I'm on the east coast so YMMV.
  5. I got hammered at the Hope Hotel restaurant on Halloween night after I failed my FC1. The bartender gave me a free drink because all the locals were dressed up in Halloween costumes partying and I was sitting at the corner of the bar solo in a sweatshirt and sweatpants with my hood up. I ended up going back a month later and passed, the bar tender remembered me and we both took a shot together to celebrate.
  6. They also barely spent any time with discussing Russell's Merc run during the 2nd Bahrain race. They spent way too much time on pre-season testing and COVID drama (okay, I get it) and Lance Strolls multi billionare dad who is obviously a narcissist. Then when they realized they spent too much time on that - they didn't have enough time to go into detail on the rest of the season. Add to the fact that it was a short off-season so post-production must have been rushed too. I agree with you - It had way more potential - but I still enjoyed it overall! I'm also on my second whiskey of the night so maybe I'm over analyzing. This first race was exciting as hell, best I've seen in a long time. Pumped for the season to play out!!
  7. @ryleypav I've seen 3 months and I've seen up to 9 months for TFOT. Keep checking in every few weeks and make sure they're actually working on it. The most annoying feeling in the world is when you call to check in a month later to find out they had everything they needed to request TFOT dates but the A1C working your paperwork forgot about you (ask me how I know) I would also press them to request UPT dates prior to getting to TFOT. It's possible - because I've seen ANG pilot candidates get both TFOT and UPT dates at the same time. As always YMMV but feel free to DM and I can share more.
  8. I caved and got F1 TV this year. If you have a TV that can download the app/channel it's 100% worth it.
  9. @ClearedHot a good day indeed. this GME and TSLA train I've been on over the last 2 days makes me feel like I know what I'm doing.
  10. @GreenArc my paperwork had the doctor sign off saying I was qualified for service and it had all the results from my testing there too. I had to reference it when my opt said I initially failed my DP test (I passed when I was at MEPs). As for the SG, I imagine the short answer is - it depends. It sounds like you got waivered at MEPs for general military service, and obviously WP may have different standards depending on what the condition is since WP is trying to qualify you for flight service specifically. Since he already waivered you I would bring all of the paperwork with you to WP without a doubt and read the AF waiver guide here.
  11. Disappointed with Haas as well - but to be fair there clearly wasn't any American companies willing to back them either - which is disappointing in and of itself. Overall, I would rather see them in the sport than not - this is a quick/temporary fix to get through 2021 and then hopefully 2022's new rule changes will bring a better/more competitive car. More points = more money and attracts more investment. That being said - hopefully Nikita Maz is a disaster in 2022 and then they can move on from their Russian influence. They're playing the short game to be able to play the long game in the future.
  12. Update: After TFOT I found out I had an 8 month gap between graduation and the start of UPT (starting this June at Vance) So I had to get another job to cover my gap. I ended up finding an employer in the finance industry that has a great military leave program and I met a few employees who have used it before in the guard with no issues. In other words, everything worked out great. Thanks again for the support.
