Investment showdown -- beyond the Roth, SDP, & TSP
Swizzle replied to Swizzle's topic in Squadron Bar
Food for thought on the TSP small cap fund.... https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/money/personal-investing/post-recession-investing/overview/index.htm "Another observation: After each recession, small-company stocks were the clear winner, something we've pointed out here in the past. Part of the explanation lies in the fact that small-cap stocks are usually sold off faster when the economy heads south. And during the latest recession small-caps lost a stomach-churning 60 percent, much more than the 37 percent that small-caps gave back in previous recessions. But as the economy improves, small-caps tend to snap back more quickly as well. In short, there's higher risk in small-cap stocks, but there's also a higher reward."- 1,204 replies

?s on ADSC (Active Duty Service Commitment)
Swizzle replied to FreudianSlip's topic in General Discussion
For reference, Ramstein MPF, circa 2012, doesn't know this and after seeing it insisted I sign an ADSC anyways for attending IP school. I didn't fight back and signed b/c big picture it didn't matter with a 10 year ADSC further out than the IP school ADSC. Pick your battles wisely...YMMV depending upon ops' culture in the moment -

More good press... $1 billion wasted on Air Force computer system
Swizzle replied to tankerbum's topic in General Discussion
Master's of Science in Information Systems and Financial Management sounds like the right degree for this type of project as well as many, many information system project managers, certified in their fields, might have helped this project... hmm, how many Gantt charts did that pay for? -

Closed with Dave Devine from National Bank of Kansas City on 25 Jan @ 2.875%, $2k spent on points. Extremely happy with how everything went and how Dave handle all the paperwork/transactions. I highly recommend him and will be going to him for an investment property in the next few weeks. He was organized, personable, reliable, and timely with everything. I'm extremely pleased...

What incentive is there to POTUS "wheeling-n-dealing" with Republicans when he's already going to get tax increases on the rich by doing nothing. Then Democrats and POTUS can pass a law WITH Republican support in 2013 for tax cuts for those earning less than $250,000....?

-1 Excerpt -- WARNING -- Stall warning speed increases or decreases dramatically with elevator inputs, power changes, flaps selections, or changes in G. Anticipation of these effects is required for safe maneuvering near the stall warning speed. --------------- The stall warning system provides alerts 5-15% above the stick pusher speed in all flight conditions and configurations. These alerts supplement natural buffet to provide adequate situational awareness of stall speed margin. Changes in flight conditions have a large effect on stall and stall warnings speeds. For example, raising the flaps from 100% to UP will increase stall and stall warning speeds by approximately 20 KIAS. Reducing power from takeoff to flight idle can also increase the stall speeds by approximately 20 KIAS. Increasing G by 0.1, which is barely perceptible to the pilot, increases stall speeds approximately 3 knots. As a result of these real-time calculations, stall warning speed is continuously changing unless the aircraft is in steady flight. STALL WARNING AIRSPEED. An airspeed readout and caret are used as an indication for alerting the pilot that the airplane is within 40 knots of the stall warning airspeed (approximately 1.08 times the power-on stall speed). The suffix label is the letter S (<S). If the counter-pointer is being displayed, both the stall warning caret and the stall warning readout are displayed. If the counter-pointer is not displayed, only the stall warning readout is displayed. The stall warning indications have priority over VH. The stall special alert is displayed when the indicated airspeed is less than the stall warning speed. The charted stall airspeeds are defined as the calibrated airspeeds at which the stick pusher activates and are derived from flight test data. [...]. The indicated airspeed at which the stick pusher activates should not be higher than the charted calibrated stall speed....
