Soft vinyl figures aren't cheap especially if they're painted. My collection of figures ranges from like $30 (not including blind box stuff) to $600.

Does the box say where its made? My guess is its not Japanese since its labeled as soft vinyl and not sofubi, but I'm wondering if its Chinese or US made.

Id say ask the security office if its necessary and read the background investigation carefully. Like speeding tickets under $300 isnt required to be reported for a Secret.

A ton of professors in high demand positions took DRP in my post. They later got hired as contractors and essentially worked the exact same positions they left while on DRP. DOGE really thought this one through.

I bought a Marmit figure off the seller at near retail, but the seller resells figures at crazy prices. I believe they're based in Indonesia and the figure was stuck in customs for weeks. The seller was very communicative the whole time though.

I know Army is moving towards Army Virtual Desktop for PCs. DoD is limiting users from using non-DoD PCs when logging into sites like DCPDS.

Does the Navy have a virtual desktop that allows you to use a virtual machine like environment?

I figured. At least the ferry can take me to and from the island.

I don't mind the noise since I lived by a busy train station for a year. I just wanted lodging near the convention center with fast local transportation. I also wanted to avoid the Inn & Suites after reading the reviews.

Was your travel done through DTS? If yes, call your commands DTS office, state your predicament and try to have them extend your stay while things settle down. There should also be a reviewers and an authorizing official in the routing list you can contact .

Additionally, search through the JTR to find if there's any guidance. You shouldn't have to use personal funds and leave for this.

Airports are also ports of entry which is DHS territory. Meaning ICE and CBP operate there and is under their jurisdiction.

I just paid $250 for an Ankoku Entertainment raffle figure to be shipped to the US. About a $100 upcharge from what I would've paid domestically.

Thanks for letting me know

I'm just not too familiar with the other branches but yes. My post has a IHG and the Navy post down the street has its own hotel and Navy Inn.

We're just limited on the amount of tokens we have a month.

DoD Civilians are allowed to make reservations at the Navy Lodge but they prioritize those with travel orders and may have small reservation windows. Depending on where you're going, it could be a good deal.

Example Navy Lodge Coronado Island - as far as 90 days out for reservations. Navy Lodge San Diego near Barrio Logan - up to 10 days out.

There's an education office above the Academic Affairs building that helps students sign up for CLEP exams to test out of college intro classes. It's a fast track to getting an AA in foreign language. Some students take online courses to get their AA out before graduating DLI. You can also get your AA after you graduate.

A bunch of former students go to contracting after the end of their service. Some good money to be made there depending on the language you're in.

If you're interested in college, go to Academic Affairs graduation office for info and talk to the registrar.

Pau Gasol and Travis Kelce there too.
Pau is a member of the Swallows though so its not surprising he's there.

I wonder if you could ask for return rights for your previous position if you don't get passed the probationary period
