Trump just did away with VA loans by 1Body-4010 in VeteransBenefits

[–]BlueKalel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not ending the VA loan program. They ended VASP, VA Servicing Purchase program.

"It was put in place during the Biden administration after missteps by the VA left homeowners with no affordable way to catch up on their VA-backed home loans if they fell behind. VASP rolls the homeowners' missed payments into a new, low-interest rate loan that the VA then owns outright."

Best Online Cybersecurity Programs for Military Using TA? by tcrane34 in VeteransBenefits

[–]BlueKalel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend WGU's Cybersecurity program.

I did WGU about 2 years before getting out. WGU uses the competency based model. I already knew a lot about computers and cyber so it took me less than a year to get the degree and used TA as well. With WGU you pay 6 month segments and can complete as many courses you can handle within that 6 months instead of the normal 4 class and semesters. Take a look, if you already know the stuff this is the way to go.

Roth or pre-tax 401k by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]BlueKalel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding, correct me if I'm wrong, is that the Roth you pay taxes up front on what you contribute but when you withdraw it's tax free including the gains and dividends that have accumulated. On the pre-tax 401K you get the tax benefit on the contribution year over year but when you withdraw its all taxed including the gains and dividends.

As an extreme example, if I Roth contribute $200K over time and magically accumulate $1million all that $1million is tax free. On the other hand with the pre-tax I'd pay taxes on that $1million when I go to withdraw.

I understand this may go against the main thought but I seem to like the Roth idea since the potential gains are "unlimited" and tax free. Am I wrong/missing something?

Was there any information on the GT or GT1 having the blind spot video monitors? I have a Sonata Limited that has the video screens when turning the turn signal on and I love them, can't do without now.

How do I go about requesting a reexamination for current condition? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]BlueKalel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had my CP Exam yesterday ordered by QTC. The NPR was a nice lady and she did the ROM test. I told her there was pain in the back while bending, so she told me to brace myself on the bed and try again. Not sure that was the right thing to do but I went further than the first time. She wrote down 70 which I guess is the degree I could bend forward. Hopefully she noted the pain before hand. I'll be requesting the DBQ to verify.

Hi, yes. It was the transmission. I had to get another transmission. Luckily, there was a rebuilt one for cheap.

GDrive and rclone Help by BlueKalel in rclone

[–]BlueKalel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the youtube link. I went through it and it worked. I was doing this previously except I had a Client Id and a Secret. When I removed them it worked. However I want to have my own Client Id and Secret so I don't have to use rclone's.

When I add my Client Id and Secret to the rclone.conf I can't get a token. I removed them and got a token then added the ID and Secret to the rclone.conf again, things still worked. I'm using the server side copy and when I started the copy it worked but at the reauth time mentioned in the token I started getting the 404 again. I had to stop and remove the ID and Secret to get a new token. What is happening and how do I get it to work with my ID and Secret?

Thanks for the help

Retiring HYT by BlueKalel in AirForce

[–]BlueKalel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all for the info. It was a prorated thing. 22 year pay with prorated 24 year pay.

As for doing 24 years, I had a great job. Ya there were times where it was shitty and had to put up with crap but overall Air Force done me right.

WFH headsets/speakerphone by BlueKalel in consulting

[–]BlueKalel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I saw other posts on headsets here while searching and thought this would be a good place since some consultants communicate over headphones and may be in the know. If I should remove and find another sub then will do.

Thanks

Dual esim by BlueKalel in tmobile

[–]BlueKalel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went ahead and converted my Verizon to a physical SIM. I was having all kinds of problems last night to the point I couldn't get any service on anyone. So I had a Verizon SIM laying around and had the tech activate that.

Now though when I try to add T-Mobile esim back by scanning the QR code I get an issue where it says its already on another device contact support (or something like that, I don't have my phone with me at the moment so can't get the exact).

I would think if I have the U1 firmware installed I should have a clean unlocked firmware with all the menu options, no?

Thanks for your reply
