On Brexiting BO.net? I don't need you guys. I can make it on my own. In fact, fuck you all, you controlling bastards. On Brexit EU? I think that the underclass majority (non-immigrant, working class) finally got to have their say. After decades of being marginalised by a PC establishment that favours championing the rights of minority groups at the expense of everyone else, they had an opportunity to change the course the country was taking. I'm glad we're leaving. And I'm looking forward to what the future may hold.

Glad to see you didn't Brexit Baseops Steve.

ARAMP1, here are some formula examples. You fit example 4 and 7. Like ThreeHoler said you can go above 417K in many counties. We're doing one for a Virginia guy right now that has a 625K max. Run the formula using your county limit which you can find at https://www.benefits.va.gov/HOMELOANS/purchaseco_loan_limits.asp That'll give you a good idea of what you'll need to put down. A VA jumbo is going to be a much better rate than a conventional jumbo plus we can go up to 50% debt to income to qualify on a VA jumbo. Your credit score has to be above a 680. Shoot me a PM or email me at marty@mythl.com if you want to chat. Marty VA guaranty_calculation_examples.pdf

UH-1 1. Ops Tempo/Deployment Ops Tempo is pretty good, but varies by command. Deployments are staff/air adviser gigs, so you won't be flying a Huey, if you get to fly. The good news there is they are usually voluntary. 2. Lifestyle/ Family Stability Depends on the unit. Andrews has various shifts, so schedules are always moving targets. You'll average a 5 day week, but which days will vary considerably. Plan to miss a lot of dinners at home. Schoolhouse is fairly predictable, since it is AETC, but manning swings may make things interesting. Global Strike is undergoing a lot of changes, so some people have a lot of TDYs (but not to any desirable places, unless you like rural areas). Not sure on Yakota or Fairchild. Overall, most people will work Mon-Fri, flying a few times a week. Deployments are fairly rare, and mostly by choice. It's probably one of the more stable flying jobs out there, AF-wise. 3. Community morale The flying is generally awesome. There is no autopilot, so everything is hands on. It's hard to beat flying even with the Lincoln Memorial or going through winding canyons at 50ft. The hours are usually pretty good. That said, Hueys are the red-headed stepchildren of the Air Force. A lot of AF people don't even know we're here. That can get frustrating at times. Being mostly stateside, the missions usually succeed when nothing interesting happens, so if you want to rain hate on bad guys, this ain't it. So, morale is mixed. Some people want more action while others want a flying club. It goes in waves. 4. Advancements & Future of the airframe If you want to make O-6 or above as a Huey pilot...well, good luck, haha! Ancient aircraft that fly support to mostly CONUS activities in generally small squadrons isn't a recipe for promotion. Future of the airframe: anybody's guess. Big AF is supposed to find a replacement by 2019...which may go better than the 2017 replacement, the 2006 replacement, the 2003 replacement, or one of the 1990s replacements. In short, when iron sits on the ramp, we'll know if/when the Huey is getting replaced. Until then, we'll continue rocking the Vietnam-veteran aircraft (some of our tails were there). 5. Preferred PCS locations Andrews, Yakota, or Fairchild, depending on your preferences.

You can exceed $417K on a VA, but you must be able to put down some extra cash. There is a formula for how much. 25% of the amount over $417K. For $800K with full eligibility, you would need to put down $95,750 (~12%) to obtain a VA mortgage. If you are in a high cost area, the $417K goes up to $625K, so you would only need to put down $43,750 (~5.5%). You will not want to do a conventional loan for that amount, most likely, since it is considered a jumbo loan. It will have a higher rate and likely require PMI even if you have 20% to put down. Side note: putting down at least 10% on a VA gets you the lowest possible funding fee. If you are a disabled vet, 0% rating or higher, then the funding fee is waived.

9 to END and an additional 3 to SPS Not true. One flight in particular has had that particular student load (sts) or very close to it 4 classes in a row now. Sending 9 guys to a class or two is doable, but when all the other class sizes have been increased to 6-7 studs then it becomes mathematically impossible to keep them on timeline.

If you have a desirable package, you should consider applying to F-15 units, you might have more luck. Trying sending them an email with pictures of said package. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

...or Russian....We'll never know.

It looks like the 187th Fighter Wing in Montgomery, AL is hiring later this year. More info is on their website.

If you need some pointers as to who to talk to, PM me. I work with the Reserve guys daily.

I cordially invite you all to kiss my ass...
