  1. That checks, it’s a previous write up.
  2. You’re right, it does matter and absolutely needs to be corrected. But it should’ve been corrected months ago with a swift “No!” From CSAF. Again, I’m not affected by this policy SNAFU, but it seems like dumb ass policies without oversight is situation normal. It probably has been since the 40s.. just seems more magnified now.
  3. Someone should tell the Generals.. it doesn’t matter if they fix this problem, the trust has been lost a thousand times over. I’m not affected by these ADSC shenanigans, but I’m on the lookout for the next time the Air Force will try to screw its personnel over without any of the Generals knowing about it.. allegedly that is.
  4. I’d consider editing your post.. unless you don’t want to remain anonymous
  5. Second assignment, it’s when I figured out we really don’t want to or have a plan to win these wars and conflicts.
  6. I got a bit excited at this idea earlier.. but the more I think about it, no way my CC is going to let me out six months early while my position goes unfilled... he’s a good dude, but it would not be good for the unit. Oh well.
  7. Too lazy to look it up.. how many Americans emigrate to Scandinavian countries? How many Scandinavians immigrate? Wonder which model America should continue with?
  8. Off topic, not a Jack Ryan, but I always thought Red Storm Rising would make a good single season TV series
  9. Try looking at your training reports. Mine have it broken out
  10. Agreed. Also, they need to hire some better mil advisors..
  11. Congrats!
  12. The same rate you would get it you stayed on base.
  13. I guess I’m in the minority, but for the most part I don’t mind DTS itself too much.. it’s the having to find the right computer that it works on, entering my PIN 6-9 times, slowness of the network, connectivity issues and some of the JFTR/Finance policies themselves that are the problem.. my vouchers normally aren’t that tough or out of the ordinary.
  14. They don’t want it to work? Making that case for stop loss..
  15. i Know this isn’t BRS related, but since medical was brought up.. if my friend leaves AD at the end of his ADSC and goes to the guard/reserve, how do his medical benefits change? Let’s assume he gets hired by a Legacy or SWA. And.. if he finishes his 20 in the guard/reserve, does he have any medical benefits between then and age 60?
  16. Doubtful. Look at how brand new copilots get office jobs and tons of addl duties when they show to their squadrons
  17. My Wg/CC provided feedback to all the guys who had a PRF written on them.
  18. I think you guys are saying the same thing.
  19. I am a little confused, but here's what I used to do and was given the Finance stamp of approval. In DTS, book travel directly to/from LHR and ORD via the gov rate. Then, call the airline directly and work with them to modify your itinerary to whatever it is you want it to be and pay the difference out of pocket. This way the USAF only pays and sees a receipt for the original TDY only travel. You'll have to adjust your per diem on the days you are on leave to 0/0 as well
  20. I'm a 2009 USAFA grad with a UPT ADSC that expires in May 2021. In July of 2015 I transferred my benefits to my wife. Earlier this year, I transferred one month to my kids. I am considering getting out when my ADSC is up (will likely try to Palace Chase prior). I understand that I didn't actually start earning post 9/11 benefits until I completed my USAFA service commitment in 2014. According to the VA website, you have to six years of service before you can transfer. My question is, has anyone had a problem where the VA denied benefits because they were transferred only a year after the USAFA commitment is complete? The rule seems clear to me, but I have this feeling I'm missing something or the VA will interpret the rule differently when it comes time to use the benefits for my kids.
  21. What if I'm a male who identifies as a female who identifies as a male?
  22. Linda, olevelo, good info, thank you, that sheds more light on what I had been hearing. I guess I'll hope for the FY16 slots to drop during this next VML. My sq leadership knows I'm interested in going this route, I am unfortunately the impatient kid who has trouble watching the cookies bake..
