A new heat exchanger design allows air to be cooled from 1,000 deg C to -150 deg C in 1/100 of a second; has the potential to give passenger aircraft cruise speed of mach 5.

If you make Traditional TSP contributions while in a CZTE, your contribution is non-taxable. The earnings that contribution makes are taxable upon withdrawal. If you make Roth TSP contributions while in a CZTE, your contribution and all earnings from that contribution are non-taxable. Rather significant difference, IMO.

I'm guessing it was something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTXzcILPPp8

I caught about half of it, very elegant. The man clearly cares. That said, it was obvious that he cares about things that may derail our ability to meet our basic requirements as a service, i.e. budget, readiness, quality of airmen etc. I would put Blues-Monday, for example, at number 1 on his top 10 list of things he probably doesn't give 2 shits about, especially when most of us still get to wear f'ing pajamas to work Tues-Fri. Some complaining from a few airmen about having to dress up one day a week probably doesn't even register on his radar right now. Furthermore, he obviously takes great pride in the privilege to wear the Air Force uniform, flight suit or otherwise, something which a lot of us readily take for granted after a few years. Is he out to make our service better for you and me? Absolutely, but it sounds like he has a different set of criteria by which he will measure improvement. Maybe when/if he succeeds in un-assing our budget he'll take a look a some of the more trivial issues that grate on the force. (unless he addressed any of this stuff in the first half, which I missed. In that case disregard all).

Nevada man dies with $200 in bank, $7M in gold hidden inside home This is how those Dave Ramsey guys who won't use credit cards and live like they're a TSgt when they're a Major usually turn out. Yea, and he never paid any credit card interest either. Good for him!

He brought his Air Defense assets and left his JTACs at home, clearly it was USAFs fault...
