  1. I will go to great lengths to avoid US Airways. Otherwise not picky (whoever give me the best price/schedule combo wins)
  2. but but but PeGASus has the word gas in it!
  3. the difference is you're still on AD, so a reverification won't affect you. My friend is not.
  4. I'm curious...I have a friend who has an AMEX Hilton HHonors Platinum, and whose account was treated quite nicely via the awesome AMEX SCRA implementation. Said friend is no longer on AD, but AMEX doesn't know that. If my friend wanted to switch to the straight up AMEX Platinum (not the Hilton branded one), would AMEX reverify military status or not? If the choice is stick with the Hilton branded AMEX and have fees waived or switch to AMEX Platinum and have to pay the $450 annual fee, my friend would rather maintain the status quo. Any insight is appreciated.
  5. i still see hearts. FF on OS X 10.10.4. Already tried a refresh and cleared the cache.
  6. chat lurker.
  7. thanks, looks great now!
  8. asking for a friend... If someone signs up for the bonus (in this case the CSO bonus), can they change their mind before either a) the agreement is finalized or b) receiving the first payment? If anyone can clarify, I'd appreciate it.
  9. where did all these ads come from? So far that's about the only thing I'm not a fan of. Will let you know if I discover anything else as I explore the new board a little more. Also, any chance this update fixed the NIPR login problem (login sequence being blocked). I don't have ready access to a NIPR machine at the moment, so if someone else does, please give it a go. ETA: I'm running FF 39.0.3 on OS X 10.10.4
  10. sounds interesting, but without any really data, can't form any relevant opinions. Now, if someone had that 300 page report...
  11. got an email from you regarding user/display names for login. Is everyone getting those? I'm confused because mine are identical.
  12. they were chopped up and sold for scrap. Pennies on the dollar.
  13. shack. Where are your troops and can I count them?
  14. I've noticed a few minor inaccuracies...which is ok.
  15. Part 2 is out https://cigeography.blogspot.fr/2015/08/the-united-states-air-force-organized_5.html?m=1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. does the word "immediately" absolve the pilot of performing a standard rate turn?
  17. it's part 1 of 6...so more to come
  18. specifics. Did he start sobbing? Run screaming out of the room? Stage a sit-in protest, what?
  19. kinda like how the Navy just forked over millions to Microsoft for the privilege of continuing to use WinXP...
  20. Dan, what's your 30 yr VA refi rate right now?

    VA Claims

    https://www.benefits.va.gov/COMPENSATION/resources_comp01.asp I got a 60% rating, so that's over $12k a year tax free I see.

    VA Claims

    I guess I got lucky. Used the DAV folks on base as well, but didn't file my claim until 3 months after my DOS (several reasons - didn't want to inadvertently force a DNIF, and wasn't sure of post-separation job plans) . It was filed as a fully-developed claim (this is also important). FIVE WEEKS after the fully-developed claim was submitted I went in for the exam. Three weeks after that I got my rating and my first payment, including back pay back to my DOS. EIGHT WEEKS from filing to seeing $$. Southern AZ (Tucson) VA rocks, btw. I've heard anecdotal stories of multi-year waits in other locales, and so the VA you choose to do the filing at is VERY important. If you don't mind a trip or two to Tucson, I'd highly recommend filing your claim there.
  23. the HH-60 is supposed to be getting it "soon" - it's being tested at the CTF right now (so I'm told). It's only ADS-B Out, so won't help us, but will help others see us. The IRC Hot Topic about it says everyone in the NAS has to have ADS-B Out by 1 Jan 2020.
  24. I've had friends do that and get Options 1 and 3. They didn't experience any 365s due to already high optempo in our community. I think for Option 2 to work, you'd have to petition SECAF. A friend who was separating due to ADCS expiration (paperwork already in and approved) was able to make this happen (getting a DOS earlier than ADSC) with SECAF approval b/c of follow-on job opportunity.
  25. I hope you got out and throat punched that pilot.
