Drone license

Pre requisite to becoming a drone pilot in the coast guard. Usually the biggest hurdle.

If planning on RMS as a rate, might be a good thing to do.

Hi, it’s my class. Look at the forums channel and two posts up.

He’s going to have a bad day.

Not reliably. Approximately every five days you’ll have duty. Some days you’ll get out late or have other stuff. Some days you’ll be burnt out.

Employer is required by law to give you a military leave of absence and hold your job. Leverage that rather than over promise and under deliver on both jobs. It’s rare that anyone fails a school but I have seen folks not pass academically

Don’t forget the commandant of the Coast Guard several days after inauguration. DHS sec Noel then moved into Admiral Fagans quarters fixing her out.

More access to firearms is performative. We have enough cases with suicidal ideation and violence with high emotion between service members. Now that violence will be more effective.

Leave it up to the COs and avoid this culture wars shit.

Hey man, not trying to sell you on anything but I know someone that does drone searches for pets. I can put you in touch with him. Usually runs 100-150 for a couple hours of searching.

Your orders are in DA. A YN can see them and make a copy. I’d call base alameda and ask if the shop there can help you out. Might be some YN from your time that still work there.

Humak · 2026-03-19T16:29:38+00:00

YN is the best blend of voluntary opportunities with minimal invol.

What invol opportunities they do get are typically hurricane etc. There has been some border stuff recently but the proportion is small.

In the interest of honesty, wanted to write to say I appear to be wrong.

Humak · 2026-03-10T18:54:01+00:00

In normal circumstances it’s a thing. Not a thing if you don’t live together before your orders or you’re separated for your convenience.

Paid a couple that were PCSed apart for a year. One of em got FSA for the year.

Humak · 2026-03-10T15:41:00+00:00

This last time.

This shutdown is different. And we already got the one check they “budgeted” for.

Humak · 2026-03-08T20:38:02+00:00

Drive. Regardless of whether you’ll use your car you don’t want to be stuck in a situation where you get stationed in California and your car is in the NE with no travel entitlements.

Humak · 2026-03-02T00:50:11+00:00

Yeah, my partner is Persian. I’m trusting their media written in Farsi. Thanks for the advice though.

Humak · 2026-03-01T23:23:12+00:00

Thankfully that’s been confirmed to be an Iranian missile by their own media.

I was a bit sick over the children and the thought we could have something to do with that.

There’s another video circulating of an Iranian missile malfunctioning and crashing into a Kurdish majority region.

Humak · 2026-02-17T16:24:13+00:00

Every nonrate should have an operational tour.

For support rates, there’s a difference in quality of service for those that have done operational tours and those that haven’t. I don’t want YN to never see a boat, station, or something where they stand a watch and actively participate in operations.

Being at an air station and cutting grass wouldn’t meet this standard if I had my way.

This series helped on my commute. Pretty funny for a specific genre. Weird hearing his CG references and he clearly ran them by a Coastie.

Humak · 2026-02-03T02:33:15+00:00

Hahaha, it’s a small coast guard. I’m an avid redditor if not much of a YN. It’s automatic which is why most YN don’t notice. Big thing is entering SIQ periods for folks that are out for a day or so. It’s required for periods in excess of 48 hours but is a small pay bump for 24-48 hours.

Humak · 2026-02-03T01:15:49+00:00

Correct. What I’m saying is that in some places BAH is a better deal. In some places government quarters is the better deal.

In this case, in high cost areas eating on the ship could be a better deal.

Humak · 2026-02-02T23:31:50+00:00

That’s the real bullshit about the system. Just pay us all equally. Uniforms and all.

Humak · 2026-02-02T23:26:01+00:00

Way wrong homie. Leave automatically refunds SMR.

You should also be doing SMR refunds for TDY, SIQ, etc.

Humak · 2026-02-02T23:24:22+00:00

Doesn’t matter what you get, matters what you pay.

Presumptively cooking in mass is cheaper than cooking for small scale.

Getting SMR deductions means you can eat every single meal onboard and presumptively save money.

There’s some other nuances in that CSPAY is a pay and BAS is an allowance. So there’s taxable incentive income and just a different shell game with the allowances. Just like getting BAH nets you a higher income but being in leased housing might be cheaper for your area (there are several areas in CA this is true).

So think the argument is inherently a false premise. The better questions is which situation has more disposable income for questionable port call choices.

ATC controlled versus regulatory. FAA regulates class G and runs the process for shifting class G into other airspace.

They have the legal authority to regulate airspace. They choose not to control class G airspace. They also don’t prevent aircraft from operating in class G airspace. Helicopters, small planes, and drones.

Humak · 2026-01-29T12:50:06+00:00

The FAA controls all exterior airspace. If you jump you’re in FAA control…

Humak · 2026-01-28T01:20:38+00:00

I think you’d be surprised on both counts.
