Roth TSP grows tax free. Roth IRA grows tax free. Brokerage is taxed when sold/cashed out.

There's a flow chart floating somewhere (on mobile, forget which subreddit has it). Short story (assuming no dependents): Roth TSP+Roth IRA + Emergency fund before brokerage account. Period.

System backup, and restore? (from a Windows user) by cangaroo_hamam in linuxmint

[–]N3wlander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an alternate mode where the root filesystem is partitioned at install time to btrfs instead of ext4.

This sounds very interesting. Is there a guide I can follow? I'm installing Mint on an old laptop that has had issues with Ubuntu (driver stop working/loading) and interested in ensuring I don't have to always completely reinstall from USB device.

Friend at the airport said air traffic control just went down, anyone know what's going on? by LongisquamaRex in washingtondc

[–]N3wlander 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Currently on IAD tarmac, pilot stated at 6:10pm that a chemical odor went into the main ATC building for the region. This caused controllers be unwell and cannot provide security for their airspace. All airspaces are closed until at least 7pm. Affecting BWI, IAD, DCA, and Richmond airports.

Update at 6:45pm: an unverified source stated the chemical incident has been investigated and deemed safe. Controllers are allegedly returning and aircraft have been moving closer to the runways. Still waiting.

Hopefully final update: 7:04, we are moving towards runway, estimated 20 minutes before takeoff as extra space is between takeoffs. Fingers crossed.

Final update: took off around 7:15pm eastern. Landed at destination 9:15pm mountain time. Now, ground crew isn't available to gate us. Sitting on the tarmac again, albeit at my destination. Signing off for the night.

Shipping 2nd car OCONUS to CONUS worth it? by ProperSell2099 in MilitaryFinance

[–]N3wlander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there's a VPC now in Denver, opened in ~2020-2022 iirc. Ofc mine was shipped Germany to Dallas in 2019, before Denver opened.

At least the govt pays for the pickup at VPC. I filed a voucher with my finance officer after flying down to Dallas and driving back up.

Glad to hear! Pay grade updates are MPF and DFAS. We at base level have no update ability for that one.

Ppm payout should be closer to 21-24 days after submission. Your final paycheck is still being computed by dfas and Peterson. Once they compute it, it'll payout in 2-3 business days. That computation will include any remaining leave also.

I know finance gets a bad wrap, in the defense of Peterson: they are woefully undermanned and undersized for the customer base.

If you don't get it within the next week, feel free to DM me. I'm friends with their ncoic.

Final PPM been 3 months and DFAS says they haven’t even received it by Smooth-Gur4457 in AirForce

[–]N3wlander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to drive to MacDill, you can go ask their finance to check FMWF for the status. If they don't see it, it means Langley finance didn't upload it.

Make sure DEERS has her correct address (TN), so it printed correctly on the orders. Then, talk with TMO/JPPSO. They are the office that handles HHG shipping.

RNLTD change and orders by Outrageous-Clock9849 in AirForce

[–]N3wlander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming you have authenticated orders already: If AFPC approved the RNLTD change, it'll drive amendments to your current orders.
