I racked up 10,000 in GTC charges on a PCS that went delinquent for like six months. The commander asked me why my card wasn’t paid off and I told him because I hadn’t been paid. When everyone realized I wasn’t going to pay it until I got paid and it started working it’s way up the chain I got paid within the next week.

Well thank the good lord I’m getting an extra few grand back over the next 5-7 years from this tax cut...

Nailed it...

Ygbsm...

Conditionally approved yesterday. 11m asking 5 months 13 days off, submitted for the second time in February. Gotta find a job in 60 days.

I was referring to when there were jets at LTAG, circa 2008-2011. You know back before isis ruined the alley and the Turks still hated the Russians...

Every time you cross the boundary between USAFE and AFCENT it restarts the “first day in theater”. You get full rate for that day as opposed to the $3.50. I was still claiming it on my last deployment in ‘16 whenever we landed at LTAG.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say pretty good by deployed standards... Have you ever Ron’d at OAIX? Ever been to the dining hall at ORBI? Ever got the flyers per diem or drank unlimited beers at the bowling alley in Turkey? So the Deid has a pool a Dairy Queen, some condemned buildings and no tobacco, pretty darn good... Granted it’s no FOB but if I wanted to sleep in the dirt and eat MRE’s I would have joined the Marines...

Well I can tell you that everyone has their eyes on the door. Part of the issue is I 7-day opted an assignment and it took three months before I got the separation date approved email. It’s still not in the virtual so I can’t begin further out processing and I’ve tried palace chasing. Anecdotally similar individuals to my qualifications have asked for six months off their adsc only to be countered with one month off. They are doing everything in their power short of stop loss to plug the holes...

Probably a good thing, I imagine that bag tag has only flown around the flagpole for 1.5’s.

You airdrop? Last peer I heard that submitted was a lead ftu ip that asked six months off and they countered one month. Best of luck, let me know if it works for you, my application has been gathering dust.

TBH I think it has already been started albeit unofficially. I can't get my separation paperwork through the system to save my life. It is literally taking weeks at every step. At the rate that I'm going I should have an established separation date in the virtual about the time I start terminal...

😂

You know what, f-me, I'm wrong. I thought you were looking for opinions, not an argument. I'll be over at the donut shop before step time...

I think there's a misunderstanding about what heavy guys do. I guess for certain airframes it could be feasible, but definitely not the tac side.

Just saw it today on TPN, s#!+$ about to get weird...

I laughed wayyyy harder than I should have at this. Thank you for this...

I flew over Doha going to the Deid at midnight, that means I get Doha per diem right?

Tacrep JB? We're gone a lot. Between disaster you name it, channel/contingency missions to Afghanistan/Iraq/Turkey/Kuwait/Jordan, Presidential golf weekends and trips to wherever, locals to make up for the one that got cancelled three weeks ago because the president wanted to go golfing, during the hurricane. Turn around to finish up your deployment checklist so you can hang out at the Deid for 3 months. Return home and hit up SOS after you get recurrent in airdrop. Get back from SOS to find out that congratulations you will be going to AC school in two months then PCSing to Del Rio in 6 and Randolph will be an out and back TDY to save money... ...Still the best deal in the Air Force.

You want the truth? 6-9 months of seniority is the only thing making palace chase (guard reserves) palatable. Otherwise I'll save my money and absorb the pay cut first year...
