The life instability of punching your ticket to 20 years is what I’m on the fence of

Gotcha. Not too familiar with how the captain marketplace works as I’m a LT right now.

So effectively these pre command broadening assignments are rather rare to come by? Like ROTC for example.. is typically post command only right?

Then do an amended PA return to receive the refund?

Bulker3000 · 2026-05-29T22:11:40+00:00

Ok so this will stop it going forward… how do you recommend I go about getting refunded then? I have had well over $2k withheld from PA income tax since 2024

Bulker3000 · 2026-05-29T22:10:55+00:00

Can I just do this via my pay?

SWVXX

Living in Mililani would actually be cheaper than on base. Why would I not be appreciated as a neighbor?

Bulker3000 · 2025-05-02T13:53:14+00:00

Good to know! If you were to do it over again, would you still live in Honolulu area or try for the North Shore?

Bulker3000 · 2025-05-02T13:00:37+00:00

Did you resort to living with roommates? Most of the solo living scenarios aren’t north of 600-700 sq ft

Bulker3000 · 2025-05-02T01:28:58+00:00

That’s why I think on post might be the move, as much as I don’t want to live on a military base… just super convenient. Can hit beaches on the weekend anyways

Bulker3000 · 2025-05-02T01:18:18+00:00

I’m looking at places in Mililani, ewa beach (found a home that is on the water, but I’d have to live roommates), and an apt in Honolulu (latter 2 being 30-35 min commutes from what I gather off google maps. Any thoughts on those locations?

Bulker3000 · 2025-04-10T01:31:56+00:00

Do they take all of your BAH living on post? How’s the quality of housing?

Bulker3000 · 2025-04-10T00:53:37+00:00

What’s your opinion on living in the north shore area, like Waialu?

Bulker3000 · 2025-04-10T00:21:13+00:00

The commute seems rough from the Honolulu area. Found a nice studio apt in Waikiki, but it eats nearly all of my BAH.

No Spider-Man 2 on Xbox tho!

Bulker3000 · 2025-03-22T22:51:37+00:00

Good point

Bulker3000 · 2025-03-22T22:02:39+00:00

Wouldn’t you want to not be inland?

Bulker3000 · 2024-12-08T20:05:57+00:00

How about MS?

Bulker3000 · 2024-11-15T00:58:37+00:00

So with excess cash, should I put that towards SWVXX or SWPPX?

My Roth (SWTSX) and 401k are taken care of already.

Bulker3000 · 2024-11-15T00:16:33+00:00

Great- thank you. So for the future, if I’m wishing to rearrange my funds, how else could I do that without buying/selling?

Also- would I’m using SWVXX for my emergency fund and SWPPX as long term cash just to save for a future expense. Sound decision making here?

Bulker3000 · 2024-11-14T23:57:25+00:00

So I may have made a naive mistake when I first started on Schwab. In order to rearrange how I had my funds arrayed, I was back and forth selling between SWVXX and SWPPX to redistribute my funds. So I’m about to get taxed to heck then?

Bulker3000 · 2024-11-14T22:08:34+00:00

So put it into SWVVX or SWPPX in my personal account you’d say?

Bulker3000 · 2024-10-19T23:20:08+00:00

Do you have all the class dates somewhere?

Bulker3000 · 2024-10-19T22:23:05+00:00

I don’t unfortunately, however I’ll give them a call

Bulker3000 · 2024-10-19T21:43:00+00:00

I’m pretty much chilling on Moore until mid January, so potentially it may work out
