CENTCOM MOD 16 mandating the CV19 vaccine was implemented in January 2022. MOD 15 dated April 2020 had no such requirement. Dod mandated vaccination for active duty was already in effect by the time MOD 16 came out. Imo the CENTCOM CV19 vaccine requirement was added in Jan 2022 to further coerce civilian deployers subject to Biden's Executive Order 14042 from Sept 2021 requiring all Federal workers to get vaccinated. Lots of good info here regarding the current status of the E.O. as it pertains to federal workers. https://www.saferfederalworkforce.gov/new/

I opted for unemployment. Like all active duty, as a civilian DoD Contractor I was subject to meeting all CENTCOM Medical requirements in order to deploy OCONUS. The latest version of those requirements, MOD 16, mandated the CV19 vaccine. Every single one of my former co-workers who got covid, whether they got it while they were in the US, or got it while deployed....were "vaccinated". Every. Single. One. https://www.centcom.mil/Portals/6/MEDICAL/MOD16.pdf "15.F.7. COVID-19. MUST MEET CDC DEFINITION OF FULLY VACCINATED PRIOR TO DEPARTURE WITH AN FDA AUTHORIZED COVID-19 VACCINE. 15.F.9.A. IS NOT APPLICABLE TO THIS REQUIREMENT. PERSONNEL MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED TO ENTER THE USCENTCOM AOR, WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

TIME Article : The Crash of Independence 08 wow.

nope. most states use the hunt formula for computing division of retired military pay. the significance of being married for 10 or more years is that the ex can apply for DIRECT PAYMENTS of your military retired pay from DFAS. so in essence you wont even see her awarded portion of that money, it will automatically be sent to her bank acct on the 1st of each month.

yeh i got off cheap i guess, our marriage overlapped 12 yrs out of my 20 yrs TIS-- thats why she only got 27%-- and thats why i didnt stay past 20. what alot of guys who get divorced while on active duty but who stay in and eventually retire don't know is that if the ex is awarded a % of your military retirement as community property in the divorce decree, the ex won't get her % of your retirement pay based off the rank you were when you got divorced-- her % of your retirement pay will be based of the rank at which you retire in. the ex can also remarry another another military member, divorce them, and be awarded a portion of their retirement and end up collecting from 2 retirements. awesome huh?

try the forums at dadsdivorce.com read "the list" its not specific to military divorces but you can find some extremely useful info. and if you plan on retiring after 20, you better damn well read up on the USFSPA. my ex was awarded 27% of my retirement plus any annual COLA increases for the rest of her life.

i asked about this today to an recent ex-recruiter bro of mine and he made a call and was able to get a hold of this memo sent out referencing tattoos. PGM140 - Tattoos.doc

oh i'm sure some of them bitched about that one guy wearing sunglasses in formation after the pic was taken.

+2, that guy NAILED it!

the last time i wore PT gear period was when i came back from al dhafra in sept of 2008. i went there in 2007, tucking NOT mandatory, went once again in 2008, tucking NOW mandatory, did not go this year, but i know they have added saluting recognizable officers while in PT gear into the base supp-----shit gets more year by year

thats just great. then theres this little gem: A. COMMANDERS DETERMINE THE REQUIRED PTU/IPTU CONFIGURATION DURING ORGANIZED PT EVENTS. now at 'organized' pt, EVERYONE will have to be in the same F'ing uniform configuration.

i just cut a small piece off my belt and hand wrote "IHRB" in permanent marker--now to get one of the local patch shops to sew velcro on it

+1 to your wife on her comment, that shits funny

i joined months ago and uploaded the "someone must have talked" pic to the group, which ironically i got from baseops.

wow.

I'm stuck in the Denver airport. Thanks for the motivation guys!!

whats worse is that this is the SECOND story the af times has done on this https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/2007/12/airforce_tinydancer_071217/ First Lt. John Scheuren is not ashamed of his call sign, “Tiny Dancer.” After all, when you go from your first dance lesson to second-best in the world in 15 months, you command respect, even in rhinestones. It started when some “Dancing with the Stars” pros put on a charity show near Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., where Scheuren works as a statistician for the 28th Test and Evaluation Squadron. After the show, Scheuren got a flier for a free dance lesson at a nearby studio and took advantage of the opportunity. He picked up moves quickly and about two months in, he said, his instructor recognized his talent. “It’s kind of rare to have a 25-year-old guy student,” Scheuren said. “Usually people have been dancing for 10 years by [then].” His instructor, Georgia Ambarian, would become his partner, and was already a world champion in the cabaret format, which involves lifts and throws. When the pair won a national competition in May, Ambarian told Scheuren he had a chance to take the world title, so she amped up his routine. “It’s absolutely brutal,” Scheuren said. “It’s two hours of pain. She makes me lift her over my head for two hours straight.” In addition to his Air Force fitness routine, Scheuren puts in one to two hours a day in the dance studio, and four hours a day leading up to competitions. At the world championships in Ohio in November, Scheuren placed second overall in cabaret, missing first by two marks.
