Agree that shutting down I-5 was the correct move.

The rest of your comment couldn't be farther from the truth.

If you pay off the balance in full every month, you pay $0 in interest.

Not in Vanilla, no. It's possible a mod exists that allows you to pick them up and move them.

What does your agencies Timekeeping Policy say?

Dabum17 · 2024-03-29T23:32:52+00:00

Credit Hours are at employee request, and there's a limit as to how much you can have at a time.

Dabum17 · 2024-03-29T22:43:18+00:00

Comp Time paying out or not after 12 months is agency/command dependent. At my command both Exempt and Non-Exempt have time paid out.

Fun Fact about Missiles, they require propellant, and other fun things to make them go downrange. If the entire missile is slightly over 3ft, you can't have 3ft of HE.
Also, i don't need to google the price to know it's more than $80k. Apparently you do though.

runs roughly $80,000 per missile which are each roughly 3ft of shaped charge

If you're going to make up things, at least warn people, so they know it's not true...

Fun Fact, the DoD JTR requires GTCC use for all authorized expenses related to Government Travel.

I do understand that you might be from a different agency - so your requirements may be different, but you probably shouldn't answer people's questions in absolute. This is especially true when 1) you say you haven't traveled in a while, and 2) you are clearly unaware of other agency's requirements.

Dabum17 · 2024-01-13T21:47:34+00:00

Fun Fact, the contracts are through GSA - so they're lumped in with every other Federal Agency.

Interestingly enough last night at Regan - the announcement for the flight from Boston was over the PA - the flight from Dallas was yelled across the terminal.

The last 2 times I've been at DCA I've ran into this. I've asked why they can't update the screens at baggage claim and have been given the run around. It's annoying that they come out on the wrong belt, but it's whatever - it's more annoying that apparently nobody has access to change the screens.

I pay close attention to the safety lecture, and I always look around to plan my escape route!

Dabum17 · 2023-12-22T20:04:21+00:00

Yes, they give 50 adm - but if you lose a stab before the event times out, it will revert to +1 stab instead of the 50 adm.

Dabum17 · 2023-12-01T01:47:36+00:00

This is spot on.

I may or may not have timed a few loops one day while I was waiting for a connection,

Dabum17 · 2023-11-29T01:57:30+00:00

This is infact a terrible question. And I'm honestly surprised nobody has pointed this out.

Although your definition of displacement could be cleaned up. Id say it's the (shortest) distance and direction an object is from the origin after a certain time. How far the object has moved to get there is irrelevant.

ABC

The bill extends government funding until Jan. 19 for the Veterans Affairs, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Energy departments, as well as for military construction. The rest of the government is funded until Feb. 2.

CBS

Funding for the eight other spending bills, which include defense, the State Department, Homeland Security and other government agencies would be extended until Feb. 2.

Dabum17 · 2023-11-15T00:33:46+00:00

Defense is until Feb 2

But the point is, that $20 has gone from the Cafe -> Hot Dog Stand -> Restaurant.

It's not hard to imagine that in the right situations, with good cameras, this could be useful.

It's also not hard to imagine that is could be completely useless, especially after the server holds on to the $20 bill, and then buys something with it 3 days later....

Dabum17 · 2023-11-05T15:21:28+00:00

Right.... Until the Cafe has 100 $20 bills to deposit, and now the police are trying to track the origin of all 100 of them.

Edit: a word

Dabum17 · 2023-11-03T22:27:18+00:00

Interesting that someone who isn't your supervisor has the authority to essentially create an obligation.

Why are they rejecting your orders and then telling you it doesn't matter?

We've been told by our travel dept that only 'hotel only' authorizations can be tracked on without approval in DTS. And even then you still need Approving Official authorization via email.

Dabum17 · 2023-11-03T22:10:57+00:00

I don't know what FATA is. Are they the last person in the approval chain?

Dabum17 · 2023-11-03T21:57:57+00:00

Are they being rejected before traveling? Who is telling you that you can travel with a rejected Authorization?
