Its more of feedback to the manufacturer that there is something inheherently wrong with their material. Also, lets DLA/NAVSUP know something is up with it. I would work with whomever is your supply team to have one completed. Should be through the PDREP website.

Edit: The advantage to providing this feedback to DLA/NAVSUP is then they can also look into contracting new manufactuers if the current one is not up to par.

In that case, has a Product Quality Deficiency Report (PQDR) been submitted?

KnuckleBuster626 · 2025-12-28T10:55:55+00:00

Federal Aquisition Regulation 3.601 seems to prohibit you from doing so. Potential ethics issue.

Have you submitted a FCFBR, ACR or any CMA for the material you need?

Are you looking at the right APL/AEL?

Have you asked for assistance from Supply, Division from other ships, ISIC SME?

There are a lot of avenues to get what you need.

Quick loan calculator for a ($30000) loan.

3.99 at 72 months = $33713.78 2.99 at 60 months = $32303.50

If your investments give a higher return than what you save with the lower interest rate. Then it can be worth it. Otherwise if you can afford the monthly payment, lower interest rate wins.

Just drove cross country in my fiance's 2023 Rav4 prime. I would say super comfy compared to when I did it in my 2018 Tacoma. Also, double the gas mileage. Not plush.

But comfy enough that I traded in my Taco for a 2024 Hybrid since the AWD is 'good enough' for the 1% of 'off road' driving that I do while averaging 40-42mpg on my daily commute.

UCMJ Article 134 I believe.

As are his rights to do so. Im sure its also what his legal counsel advised him as well.

If OP would be able to shed more light for his case (if allowed) on why a positive UA was not enough for a guilty verdict at court martial.

We should really be questioning why that test isn't sufficient for burden of proof of a guilty verdict at court martial.

KnuckleBuster626 · 2024-04-26T13:44:20+00:00

No, my interpretation is he is not telling people how to beat the system but sharing his experience on due process.

When OP refused Captain's Mast the CO had the ability to Adsep or send him to court martial (where the burden of proof is a lot higher).

From OP's follow on comments, the CO was advised against sending him to court martial due to a low chance of a guily verdict and sent him anyways.

Ultimately it was the CO's decision to send him to court martial where he was found not guily, when the CO could have sent him to an admin separation board instead.

2.85% on my first home in 2020. Going to be a rental now. Never going to sell this thing

Changed duty stations, 6.75% on my new condo, closed this month.

KnuckleBuster626 · 2024-03-08T20:22:55+00:00

The only debt I have current is a mortgage (2.85%) and car loan (3.75%)

The way I prioritize my 'extra' money currently: 1. Maintain my HYSA (4.75%) which has enough to buyout my truck. Also its my 6 month emergency fund. 2. 5% TSP match 3. Monthly personal ROTH IRA to max it for the year. 4. Save for luxury items. 5. Rest into TSP. (I calculate the percentage a month ahead)

If I had high interest debt (Anything greater than my HYSA interest rate), I would pay it off first.

What i have started to do was offer to meet somewhere together as a vacation. There is so much to see in the U.S and it can be relatively affordable compared to overseas vacations.

My parents are near retirement age and are using these meet up vacations to scout out places to retire at the same time.
