I don't want to put a damper on the tanker homoerotica, but what would y'all have liked to see it named?

Anyone know offhand if the senior rater is technically required to write the rrf? As in, I'm trying to vsp; I know damn good and well it won't get approved, so then I want to get RIFd. In such a scenario, I have zero incentive/motivation to write my own rrf. Any tips on what/how to write it - the only caveat being that I need to get it through the Sq/Gp and Wg without having it sent back so I can do it again. Already been told "Please consider this a resubmission of my vsp application" is a nonstarter.

How dare you besmirch the name of the person who cooked my breakfast this morning!

I thought the point of this is that they don't want to replace us-at least not at a one for one rate. And for this "return on investment"....as has been pointed out before, if I got to keep flying Id be much happier with staying in. I don't want to go to staff, I don't want to be an exec, I don't want to go to school. And I don't want to go on a 365. Now, before y'all think this is just a bunch of whining-I'm not saying I won't do whatever the AF tells me to, I'm just pointing out the idiocy of claiming "return on investment" when that means rated dudes get forced into non-flying assignments.

Working for me as well. Thanks!

IIRC, there is a minimum TOS, but being around longer doesn't directly moe you up the list. It's all about your short tour return date. I say it doesn't directly move you up the list, but if he guy ahead of you only has 1 week TOS, pretty sure it's coming your way. Make sense?

PM me. What's up?

All true statements, but to be eligible for PC, you have to be 2/3 of the way through your "initial total ADSC" - I assume that means UPT ADSC. Sample timeline: Graduate May 2007 UPT start October 2007, graduate Nov 2008 In Nov 2014 they will still owe 4 years (not quite to 2/3rds yet). And that's an aggressive timeline from commissioning to completing UPT right? So I'm guessing that some 06 guys will be eligible for Palace Chase this year, some will not and most of the 07-08 crowd will not be.

Oh that's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not out there now but I don't want (me or anyone else) to replace them

Is it just me or does Gen Welsh look bored? So does all that mean we don't have to worry about a 365 anymore?

Appreciate the update

Any updated etic? Mobile site is working ok, but I miss me some tapatalk. Thanks

Shocker, this comes out on a Friday.

I've kicked the same idea around. Now that my masters is done, I thought I'd look into something that I'm actually interested in.

This! ing this!

That's pretty f-ing scary. And also why "cleared for the visual" is not my favorite phrase.

I'm just waiting for them to decide 11Ms really aren't eligible...

What's this chef they speak of? Is that like the nav playing with the oven?

I wonder if osi used any cadet informants to figure this one out?

The word we got at a "town hall" today was that if you are eligible for Tera and RIF, don't apply for Tera and are subsequently told you're RIFd that you would then be able to apply for Tera. The discrepancy in timelines for that was specifically brought up, but that's what the little rock MPS chick had to say about it

I'm not sure you understand the questions you're asking. 1: Roth IRA is great if you think taxes will rise in the future (you pay taxes on the money now at whatever your income tax bracket rate is, then you withdraw principal and earnings tax free later) 2: you can't do TSP on your own. think of TSP like vanguard or usaa. The TSP has a handful of funds where you can park money. The fees associated with TSP funds are very low, but vanguard is also good. Here's the thing though-TSP is similar to a 401(k). You can put $17,500 in TSP (unless you're deployed, in which case the limit is higher). Money you put in traditional TSP is pre tax money (you don't pay taxes on it this year. But you pay taxes on the principal and earnings when you withdraw it at whatever rate applies to your tax bracket then). The Roth TSP is pretty new. It's the same TSP and the same funds are available, the only difference between Roth a d traditional tsp is when you pay taxes. A Roth IRA is an entirely different animal, the limit is $5,500 for 2014. The only similarity to Roth tsp is the tax treatment-again, pay taxes this year, never pay taxes on the earnings. You can have a Roth IRA with vanguard, usaa, fidelity, etc. A Roth IRA is a type of account. Within that account you can own an S&P index fund, individual stocks, bonds, whatever is available from the bank yu open the account with. 3: Even if you know a ton about investing, you can lose money. I'll bet warren buffet lost a shit ton of money in 2007-8. And he knows more about it than we do. 4. Think of TSP Like vanguard. They both offer different funds you can buy. They both offer target retirement funds. So no one is recommending a target retirement fund over TSP-they're not mutually exclusive. Make sense? Hopefully this helps some....

<br /><br />According to the matrix I'm eligible, but I haven't gotten an email. Neither have any of my bros who are expecting one

I guess no one tried his cell? Heres hoping ones of his bros knows where he is and is just being stupid and keeping his mouth shut bc he doesn't want to cause trouble

<br /><br />I'm no A1 type. I'm a knuckle dragging herk driver, but I think you've gotten bad advice. <br /><br />The matrix doesn't have squat to do the involuntary program (FSB) that your year group is eligible for. (But that's just my interpretation)

The matrix that is up is for voluntary programs. FSB is not voluntary. So the same matrix still applies....If you're an 09-10-11 guy trying to figure out if you're meeting the board based on AFSC, as far as I can tell we're going to be writing a lot of RRFs because that's for all AFSCs. Edit for double triple post
