Down $108 0-4 w/dep in Enid. Sure glad PIT is backed up. Gonna be under the new rate getting there now. Housing is surprisingly expensive in Enid, can’t believe it’s down that much.

Enid is like Derry, or Salem’s Lot. Something is just *wrong* here 😂

You have to understand that Enidstan is a former oil "boom" casualty of the 1980s. They are exceedingly skittish, like Minot, in allowing excess housing inventory to be built for a gritty transient population of energy blue collar workers. I understand where they're coming from regarding the housing stock.

The DoD happens to be the welfare employer of the area via pork barrel, so servicemembers are the pawns. Captive audience dynamics abound.

Love seeing the rates drop even with housing prices/mortgage rates rising. Down almost $80 for a 0-3 with dependents in the Eglin/Hurlburt area. In the process of buying down there and the housing prices are deff on the rise............

Huge increase in Pensacola.  Big drop for Eglin.  Amazing how different market conditions can be on either side of Hurlburt.

[pawnman]

O-4 with dependents up $117 at Dyess.

First change in five years.  It's been $1776 since I got here in 2013.

PIT is backed up because we only cut 8 sorties from the syllabus.  So if you could hurry up and PA already and suck less maybe you would all graduate on time.  Never mind the record weather attrition.   Jump in on our new VR simulators, you should be ready to graduate in a couple of hours.  Innovate harder for f#$% sake.   Sorry I gota go clean my pant's now, as a blue kool aid drinking guy I am any time any one says innovate I climax immediately now.

New rates are out. Calculator isn't updated but the ascii files are available. If I'm reading them right looks like a sizable jump ($110) for me. 

[di1630]

Went up 113 for an O4 in Vegas. But last year it went down from the previous year so this bump is good. More than what you made in 18. 

[Skitzo]

Wow went up like 300 for me. Was at the rate protected O4 rate from 2018. Nice bump this year.

 

[ThreeHoler]

Calculator works. The dumbasses put 2020 after 2019 in the list and it defaults to 2019.

Roughly $200 raise for an O3 at Davis-Monthan. Can’t complain!

[ToHoldShort]

$43 bump for an O3 at Shaw, need to move to a bigger city apparently 

[ThreeHoler]

Yay, less than a $20 bump.
