    Yup. And take a mil comp written test (that is orders of magnitude easier than the Atp written) and get MEI/CFII. Easy application points.

    This one is double edged. Yes, there are fewer 365s. But they are almost all 179s now. 179s are a lot less painful, yay us! But you also can’t 3-day opt a 179, yay Usaf retention. I doubt the actual number of deployed occupied desks making coffee and checking slides has changed significantly.

    You’re not obliged to ride with the guy who has the rental car 24/7.

    Boredom is a serious concern.....

    Maddog. Its hot, shitty, and goes to a lot of terrible places. 3-5 legs per day. But I’m at 50% seniority after a little over a year, only sat reserve for 2 months, and haven’t worked a weekend since the first month. Seniority is key.

    Tricare standard. Go where you want. When you want. No permission. No referrals. Just like champus for those of us that grew up with it. You pay 20%. $3k max out of pocket for the year for the family. A similar plan at delta is $700/month with $13k family max. Thats almost half a trip per month I dont Have to work for healthcare. Yes. 20 years is worth it.

    Having grown up a dependent, and then putting in my own 20 years....our medical support/service has declined exponentially.

    Boredom is a legitimate concern.

    I had 2 1/2 weeks off into a trip starting tomorrow. I’ll work sun-wed the rest of the month. I’ll gross around 10k. Delta, year 2

    You don’t have to decontaminate equipment if it never leaves the Cbrne area ....

    Is it still a different Adsc to transfer to spouse vice kids? or put another way, if you transfer some to a spouse at the 15 year point, and have a kid at the 17 year point, can you transfer to a kid? does any transfer open the doors to redistribute? Or are there different levels of transfer?

    If you are close* to an AD retirement, it is entirely worth it. The savings on family health insurance over the course of an airline career are absurd. And the cash for life makes year one pay palatable. *-within 3 years or so....depending on how bad you’ve got it.

    Vote with your feet!

    My current assignment gives me 2 1/2 weeks contiguous off this month, and I’m only working Sunday-Wednesday the rest of the month. Did I mention it’s like that every month? 2nd year pay on the maddog, grossing $10k-$12k a month. Getting tired of fishing... vote with your feet!

    Be sure. Ask.

    It may be worthwhile to call your CC and: A-make sure you haven’t officially been notified. If the clock is running you need to act. If you haven’t been officially notified you have time. B-drop the “hint,” in no uncertain terms, that you plan to 3-day opt if you are officially notified. C-profit?

    It’s like explaining physics to a monkey ... doesn’t matter how much effort you put in, they’ll watch and listen intently .... then go right back to flinging shit at you.

    My drivers license expires when I’m 65. You can get non-DL state ID that never expires. It’s not rocket surgery.

    Repeat it again.... if you are paying for it, it isn’t contract lodging.

    Is Anderson paying the bill or is it going on your credit card? if it’s on your card, submit the receipt after the fact to SPG for credit.

    And if you want to start sipping Cocktails on the beach at 55, all the majors have pretty strong disability insurance.

    Gross or take home? I’m close to $200k in year 2 at delta, gross before taxes, when you include profit sharing, 401k company contribution, and per diem.
