    It depends on the length of the training course. First OPR is due 1 year after completing training of 20 weeks or more. So, my first OPR was due 1 year after graduating UPT because KC-10 IQT is <20 weeks. Yours was due 1 year after FTU if it was over 20 weeks. But like Butters said, your Sq should have done one at 120 days of supervision.

    Unless things have changed, your first OPR was due 1 year after you graduated UPT, not the schoolhouse. Or is the 130 schoolhouse >20 weeks? Your Sq may have fucked you.

    I had two 1Lts working for me who went up on this board. Neither had an OPR until I was assigned to write theirs this year with a close out the day before the board cutoff. There are other guys in the same boat in my Sq, and we have a decently quick IQT/MCT timeline. Butters, I think the piece you are missing is that casual Lts, both before and after UPT are not given OPRs by some asinine policy. So, they show up to a flying unit and get their first one while the shoes already have two or three.

    https://www.tsp.gov/PDF/formspubs/tsp-536.pdf You are correct on the Roth, I think also on the Traditional.

    You can't move the money from the Traditional TSP to the Roth TSP.

    MyPay only has one box to put in an amount for Roth TSP, unlike the four boxes I have for the Traditional TSP. I guess I got lost with the consolidation of boxes. The paper form has all four boxes. It is not the most intuitive online system IRT now.

    Looks like MyPay is 'live' as of today with Traditional/Roth. On first read it is two different methodologies: They way I read it is that I can clear out all my % from the Traditional block and only put in the exact $ amount I want pulled each month in the Roth block. However, this amount only comes from basic pay...if I want to contribute from flight pay, I need to fill out the form and take it to finance.

    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.

    Will we be able to do this through MyPay or do we have to fill out a paper TSP-U-1?

    You guys in the 514th are fucked up. That is exactly what the AD on base are doing...

    Most surgeons won't perform LASIK until you're 25, as your eyes are still changing.

    Use the fucking search function.

    It has worked fine for the Dutch for years.

    We have a standalone mission planning computer with iTunes. Plug in your issued iPad and copy the .zip file to GoodReader. Our AMC versions are supposedly locked down, not that I care to try to mess with it. They have deleted most of the apps, such as Safari and whatnot. It is a glorified Kindle right now (Phase I), but will soon have FLIP and supposedly eventually Facetime, work email, and lots of other things.

    https://www.au.af.mil/au/acsc/distance-learning.asp The change was announced months ago. Looks like most non-complete people will be rolled not the new format.

    This is not necessarily true.

    I guess the 9 ARS "fat indian" heritage patch will disappear soon...

    Then AFSOC better watch their memory so they don't run out of it!
  19. ThreeHoler
    No. Only a Traditional IRA can be rolled into the TSP. https://www.tsp.gov/PDF/formspubs/oc91-16.pdf

    Have you ever used an iPad? How exactly do you "wear it out?" It is a fucking touchscreen. No one is allowed to install any additional apps, so I don't think there is much concern for "eating up the memory." Unless you count that the DoD Phaero app takes up 7gb because the digital FLIP is all image PDFs. It is over 3gb per cycle.

    If you go over the 17K because you have the 'combat' bump to 50K max, the remaining money above 17K can only go in the Traditional TSP. After doing the math, I'll be switching all my new contributions to Roth TSP next month. It is a very good deal, since our effective tax rate last year was ~8% with no chachings. Should be even lower with several tax free months this year.

    Weebls stuff is awesome!

    If it's the jet I think it is, yes it had quite a lot of fire damage.

    You seriously don't see the problem with renting out a single room in your house for $3000 a month, when you could rent a whole house for the same amount? It is definitely unethical and possibly illegal.

    They live downtown. It is a PCS.
