Went to Edwards for a course and the closest airport is 90 min away in Ontario and diff Per Diem area. I'm authorized lodging around airport site for an early flight out the next day right? Would I have 2 per diem locations (airport and course)? Ive combed through the JTR and I cannot find where- 1. It mentions flying into airports outside of TDY location 2. Lodging allowed in airport location prior to return travel

I have a waiver for it. I was 'diagnosed' with it shortly out of the womb, and paranoid mother always made sure I had preventative inhalers. I was able to take multiple PFTs (w/ methacholine challenge), pass with flying colors, and provided a solid packet of evidence for the waiver. Approved indefinitely. 1. Do you know for certain you actually have asthma? You could be in the same situation I was... Can you go run a few miles without the inhaler and not keel over aside from being out of shape? Probably a misdiagnosis.... It's common for young children to get misdiagnosed by quack doctors at an early age, when its usually just bronchitis. Growing up, when we would run the 1.0 mile in 6th grade and I was huffing and puffing, I thought it was from the asthma. Looking back now I laugh... no shit, I was in 6th grade and ran a mile once a year, if that. Of course I was out of breath. Also, yes, you can grow out of it. The waiver guide talks about it, but it also discusses the potential for it resurfacing as an adult. 2. Know the AF Waiver guide. If you haven't read every reference in that thing regarding asthma, you're wrong. If you don't know how to interpret PFT results, you're wrong. You need to become the expert on the cause you're fighting. It's equivalent to a legal battle.

The finance O-5 is currently telling me I'm not entitled

Off the street guard hire, just PCSd to home unit after finishing B Course. Finance is refusing to pay DLA because they are considering it my "final PCS" I also had to stay in a hotel / friends couch for 20 days because my HHG shipment was 3 weeks late delivery. I tried to claim 10 days TLE and they are also not paying, stating the "final PCS" reason I've read the JTR... I think I'm eligible for both. Anyone have other interpretations of it?

work with your unit. ask them. if you would rather come off orders in between to go back to civ job, you prob can. if you want to stay on bit orders in between for a few months, you prob can.

Youll have separate orders... in between, you'll be off orders. No need to take leave. Go back to your civ job. Once you start UPT, however, expect to stay on orders. If theres any gaps between UPT,IFF, B-Course, you'll just stay there and get Break in Training (BIT) rides. And sandbag.

Got my HHG delivered, and a few items were completely smashed. The DPS move.mil site says for claims I'll need "to include the inventory number, year of purchase, and purchase cost. " Anyone have luck filing out a claim? No way in hell I'll remember when and how much I bought a CRT TV and some floor lamps for... I do have some awesome pics of the smashed goods though, along with the horrible job the carrier did of crating up my goods. edit - Also, what do they do for furniture that gets cosmetically damaged? Dressers and bed furniture wasnt packed well, so all the edges are badly chipped

Looks like the only thing available on DOD IG website is Fraud Waste and Abuse complaint form... same thing?

LOL too easy

What's the correct chain of command to upchannel it to... where I'm currently stationed, or my actual Guard unit thats half way across the country (I'll be PCSing there in a few weeks)? Related question about going to IG... does any IG office work for such a 'national' (DFAS) issue?

Guard member, PCSd from HOR to UPT base in Feb 2015. Got paid for PCS in April 2015. October 2016, I get a nasty gram in the mail from DFAS saying they paid me twice for my PCS, and are collecting the debt. No phone number or person to call, just DFAS mailing address. I also got a 'Travel Voucher Advice of Payment' online, showing a travel voucher debt. Jan 2017 they collect the 'debt' from my paycheck. The AF never paid me twice.. I have all the bank statements to prove. When I submitted my voucher, I believe finance modified the voucher to remove UHaul insurance, and refiled it. I went to local Guard Finance... they said I'd have to go over to the active duty side of the base because they didn't have the correct finance software to look it up. Went to Active Duty finance... same run around, they couldn't figure anything out... and recommended I file a case with DFAS. So a case got filed in the Case Management System, sat there for 2 months (with all of my appropriate bank statements, travel vouchers, and writeups). After 2 months, it closed out stating "Issue moved back to Local finance unit". More run around, I start emailing DFAS, and finally someone there responds back saying although they looked into it and discovered that I did in fact NOT get paid twice, DFAS does not deal with debt and I need to have (some random acronym) offices at Finance deal with it. I've tried emailing local active duty finance and just get chaffed. I have all the evidence in the world to show I never got paid twice, but cannot find anyone competent enough to resolve the situation. What course of action do I have available now? Everytime I take time out of my flying day to go over to Finance, I wait over an hour just to get seen by some E-3 shoe clerk who either can't look me up because I'm guard, or has no clue on how to reverse the debt. Any help would be great...

Thanks. I think I actually found JTR support for my side. Assuming "BAH-RC (Reserve Component)" applies, Ch 10, Part E, Sec 13 " 2. If the RC member receives an order modification or amendment extending the assignment, the prospective (new) active duty period determines authority. If the prospective new period is more than 30 days, BAH-RC would stop the day before the amendment/modification and primary residence-based BAH/OHA would start on the modification date. If the prospective period is 140 or more days for training or over 180 days and PCS HHG are authorized, the BAH-RC or primary residence-based BAH/OHA would stop the day before the modification/amendment and PDS-based BAH/OHA would begin on the modification date. " Sad news is this was a TSgt telling me to pound sand...

New question... I PCS'd from my UPT base to my B-Course base, and my unit's finance wont update my new zip code for BAH. They said since I'm on the same set of orders as from UPT, they cant change the zip code unless its a new set of orders. My previous orders just kept getting modified to add Fuge, IFF, B-Course, etc. I sent them my new (modified) orders and explained it was a PCS... they still said "cant change BAH zip code unless its a new order number" WTFover??

Not sure if this is the best technique....

IPUG not a requirement now? Job description sounds like they'll put you through IPUG with >470 hours?

One of the C-130s and the C-17 were for two studs who requested them. The other stud who got the C-130 wasn't a high performer

Where would the +20 F-15C to Boise in FY21 come from?

Day X at 1300 hrs, I am able to access my ANG email via OWA. Then I go get a new CAC, because we got issued shitty tablets that doesnt want to read my CAC, and cant log on without it. Same day, 1400 hours, I can no longer log into ANG OWA webmail. This was 2 weeks ago. My ANG comm just told me "I think OWA has been down for about a week now." My AD base Comm said "sorry, this isn't an AD issue, we cant really elevate it".

So... I did PKI recovery, downloaded my previous ANG email certs, imported them into IE... but whenver I log into ANG OWA, the box pops up to load a certificate and is ONLY reading the ones on my smart card.

Sigh... nothing's worked. Active Duty webmail loads fine, but impossible to get past the 500 error for guard webmail. I think I've exhausted my resources at this point. Definitely has something to do with my new CAC.

I got a 'us.af.mil' account I guess when I got to AMS, but when I got to my guard unit, I got a separate @ang.af.mil. I thought they used to all direct to same inbox, but as soon as I PCS'd to current AD base, I found out they are now acting as independent mailboxes. Herk - I've seen those directions, I'll try it. Do you know any way to get that private key back on to the CAC? Or do you have to lug it around with you and load it on every computer you want to use? Thanks all

I got my previous CAC at my guard unit.. then PCSd... CAC was getting unreliable, so I got a new one here at an active duty base. Now I can't log into the guard webmail (mail3.ang.af.mil/owa), keeps saying internal 500 error. The email address on my cert changed back to ###@us.af.mil. I used RAPIDs online self service to change it back to my guard email, but no luck. Anyone have prior experience with getting a new CAC while on an Active Duty installation? Somethin aint right with mine.
