Not necessarily a movie, but a pretty entertaining 5-part series of nothing but firefights and gun battles is “Escape from Tarkov.” Its in Russian with English subtitles.

Have there been any updates as to the cause of this? As a prior T6 IP I’m curious to read what the root cause was.

Here’s a Q for the masses. We are currently on a 30 year Va at 3.375. We are looking at refinancing to a 15 but was told if we refinance to a 30 we can save a ton in fees, but just ask for a 15 year amortization schedule so we don’t have to pay the fees. Should we refi to a 15 or refi to a 30 and pay 15 year payments?

Yuuuuup. Nothing better than getting a multi-day GS for double pay. Especially when these trips are usually cake one leg, 5 hr days if that.

https://cademartin.com/overwar/ Pretty impressive stories and backgrounds of the dudes with brass balls flying the F-105 in Vietnam. 🇺🇸

And these are the same asshats that take their big ass bags when evacuating aircraft.

Any Delta bubbas need any widget desert morale tabs? Got a buddy who had some made.

Touché. Used to be the best kept secret. A lot of work from home/on a layover. Can't beat that.

Selective Service Reserve Force Officer. Best kept secret out there. Paid IMA and TRS. However If you live and want to work in Region II (TX MS AL NC SC GA LA FL TN) the line/waiting list is out the door so good luck. Maybe other regions will have openings.

Yes, but the flash in the video looks strikingly similar to the muzzle flash below and orangeish. Not white like cameras.

Had to be multiple shooters. I just watched this video over and over. There is clearly a second muzzle flash above the automatic fire at the :31 mark. Maybe it's the conspiracy theory in me but I don't know what else it could be https://mobile.twitter.com/TIME/status/914847463424507904/video/1

Unless you're an airline sim instructor. That can be a great deal if you live in base. Home every night, six hour days, good pay. Heard a rumor highest paid airline guy is a WB sim IP.

https://www.sss.gov/About/Agency-Structure/Reserve-Forces-Officers I've heard its a pretty flexible gig. I was just seeing if anyone has recent experience.

Anyone here ever know of anyone doing the selective service officer gig? I heard it's a Cat B IMA program and is flexible. Just wondering if anyone has any current info.

Thanks for the info! I'm looking at a unit that's approx an hour and a half drive away. Can I realistically expect being able to drive up there, knock out my stuff and drive back the same day? Or should I plan on hotels?

Thread bump. For C17 traditional Guard bubbas:. How many days a month are you averaging at the unit? What is your current deployment schedule? Thanks!

Anyone have any POCs in the Shaw AOC? Thanks!

Bwahahahahaha! Yeah, great leadership opportunities. Who want's a 365 where you can write a leadership MFR telling people how to wear their PT gear!?

At Fedex you can be in the left seat before you're off probation! Less than two years at Delta!

Seniority is everything in the airlines. Passing on the opportunity to go to the airlines will not only cost you a lot of potential $, but will result in a lot of lost seniority numbers--especially at the rate we are hiring. Four years will be about 4,000+ either above you or below you depending on what you do.

Are there IMA opportunities at an ANG unit by chance? Or are they strictly attached to AD units?

For the airline bubbas, is the IMA better or worse on the schedule than a TR gig? I like the fact my unit pays for my travel to drill, I qualify for TRS, have great furlough protection, and all I do is fly, but six days a month can be a lot sometimes. Is an IMA job really that much better? It seems like it's a case of "grass is greener," when it reality it may not be. Especially since travel and lodging could come out of my own pocket, and I may end up working just as much? Thoughts? Just weighing my options. Thanks.

For all of you that fly on IDTs. Please send to your representatives. From the website, 95Letters "Consider two Air Force majors...one is a reservist and each has 18 years of service. Both perish when their aircraft crashes on Tuesday while the reservist is on active duty (AD) status. The family of each pilot receives monthly survivor benefit payments of $2,908. Now…the same aircraft crashes on Wednesday while the reservist is on inactive duty training (IDT) status. The active duty family receives monthly payments of $2,908 while the IDT family receives $969. Also, the AD family is eligible for other survivor benefits not afforded the IDT family to include: 1) Special Survivor Indemnity Allowance 2) Annuity calculations with a disability rating as total 3) The choice to extend SBP eligibility directly to dependent children In January 2012, 95 letters were sent to the surviving spouses and directly to the children of deceased guardsmen and reservists across the DoD stating a “significant error” was made when accounting for their loved one's administrative duty status at the time of death. As a result, survivor benefit payments the families had counted on for years were drastically lowered and in many cases stopped altogether. In light of these letters many are learning for the first time of the ongoing disparities in survivor benefits for the family of a member who dies on “Active Duty” status versus a member on “Inactive Duty Training" status even when both occur "in the line of duty". H.R. 1770 was introduced into the 113th Congress by Congressman Jason Chaffetz (UT - 3rd) on 26 April 2013 to end these inequalities for the families of our military members who made the ultimate sacrifice. It was re-introduced into the 114th Congress on 28 April 2015 as H.R. 2053. Now...we need your help to get as many congressional co-sponsors as possible!! For more information see the "Advocates" and "Key Documents" tabs on this website." Take the following action: 1) Use the "Contact Your Representative" tab and urge your Representative to co-sponsor H.R. 2053. 2) Use the "Contact Your Senators" tab to contact your Senators. We don't yet have a Senate version of the bill, so for now our goal is to spread awareness about the issue and urge support of H.R. 2053. 3) Utilize all your social media avenues (Facebook, etc.) to get the word out. 4) Encourage your family and friends to do the same.
