Fourth time. I have the utmost confidence they'll get it right on the fourth iteration. I wish I had the luxury of four attempts to ensure mission success in my job.

"Citibank KC-46 brought to you by Doritos." Funding issues solved.

Checks. We got an email forward of the message from AFPC from our MPF folks right about the time it started to blow up on BODN today.

Thank God for dedicated officers like her who will replace apathetic officers like me after VSP. Oh wait...

This shit is way more exciting than that football "game" last weekend!

Prenup, prenup, prenup...

It was a veiled shot at the stupidity of that "acronym." Apparently back in '05, leadership was less inclined to get butthurt about a little fun-poking.... or they were clueless.

They'll get it right when they re-re-release it next month. Third time's the charm.

Tax Question. I post it here because I figure there are a bunch of us in the same boat right now. I received my 1098 from NBoKC and the VA Funding fee on the house I closed on this spring is listed as a Mortgage Insurance Premium (Box 4). According to the Googles, it appears that should be deductible on my 2013 taxes. Much of this fee was covered by a credit from NBoKC I received at closing, and I think the remainder was covered by the seller's closing costs. Is the entire amount still deductible?

Shoe Flag? That's still going on? One would think they would shut that shit down before they start RIFing people!

I believe you are correct. I fully expect to see more small "improvements" to the AF in the near future. Too little, too late for most of us.

Looks like a couple of job openings.

Certainly not a shot at you HD. Just an observation. Cornholio - thanks for the insight. That kind of gouge is exactly what this thread needs. IMHO, patience is going to pay off during this abortion of a force management program.

Sounds good. Where's that matrix?

Shit! I hope this doesn't reduce my chances of being force-shaped!

Taxes be damned! I need off of this sinking ship ASAP. That being said, has anyone gotten the "Eligible for Force Reduction" e-mail that was supposed to go out on 31 December? I have talked to a few E's who have received it, but no one on the officer matrix who was expecting it.

You've been vectored. Prepare for the thrust....

Holy shit. 11Merry Christmas. Prepare for disappointment...

Oh, we'll ALL be eligible... until the 11th hour when they decide to change the rules again.

Anybody remember what they were paying out for the last VSP? I tried the Googles and had only found a formula for those involuntarily separated. ETA: Disregard. I guess the AF Times is good for something afterall. https://www.airforcetimes.com/article/20110327/NEWS/103270315/

Man, I wonder what color "ultra-extreme" would be on an ORM worksheet. Plaid?

Hey Chief, thanks for the advice. Now go back to media web and fulfill your true calling.

About four years ago, the Deid moved "soul food" day (fried chicken, collared greens, etc.) from whatever the normal day is to Monday for Martin Luther King Day. As a white male, even I was offended by this... because I was anticipating tacos for the entire 16 hour duty-day. Any know if they have done this lately?
