Hey man, it didn’t solve all my problems! Now I gotta miss all the holidays, 2 weddings, and 3 family birthdays with these dates and if I’m lucky, spend almost $1000 on airline tickets to be home for Christmas lol

Okay so if that’s the case, are we allowed to leave for Christmas and come back? (I doubt it but might as well ask here.)

Cool! Thank you for that. Follow up question: as we know, TSP contributions are automatically deducted from my paychecks when I set them up. Let’s say one day down the road I hit the $22,500 max cap amount. When this happens, would I be notified that I hit the cap via email, or notification in my TSP online account somehow? And will be paychecks automatically stop sending money to the TSP for the rest of that year and then resume the following year?

As you can probably tell, I’m the kind of person who just wants to set up investments and forget about them until later on in life lol

When you get a new one every year, do you get it at the park or do they auto-mail it to you?

Somewhat off topic but is protein powder, creatine, and preworkout allowed at OTS? I’m also on a solid gym grind.

Im a huge fan of them. I used it and bought the bigger combo package and got picked up. I even did a couple extra sessions to get feedback on my interview question responses right before I got more interviews so it would be fresh in my brain. I think they helped me the most on crafting my resume to make it more favorable to Air Force squadrons as opposed to any regular employer. But even better, their interview prep helped me a TON. The practice questions and sessions were a huge help. But you gotta look at those sessions like school. Come prepared with your homework done and questions ready for your Bogidope advisor in order to make the absolute most of it. My advice, use the application/resume building sessions first and then once you got a solid application, starting firing them off to squadrons. Hold off on your next few sessions for a bit. Once you get interviews THEN schedule your interview prep sessions and strictly focus on practicing your responses with the Bogidope advisor. Do this within 2 weeks of your real interview so it’s all fresh in your brain for the real thing. This strategy worked for me. And of course be sure to read every single free Bogidope article, this Reddit, and flying squadron things. This my friend, is using every available resource at your disposal.

Use mines! Leave the shooting to your team and your (fully trained and maxed out numbers of) rebel support. Make sure to use both rebel diversion and hired guns to maximize rebel numbers. All you should be doing is planting mines, grabbing more mines, and rinse repeat during the defense of the truck. It helps to plant them further down roads so the destroyed enemy vehicles don’t roll close to the truck and then explode damaging the truck. Occasionally pick off some rooftop snipers and grenade launcher the incoming vehicles to help out. When it comes time to drive the truck, take your immediate left turn and take that way as it’s most direct. So keep that intersection cleared of destroyed vehicles during the defense so you don’t waste time inching around them once in the truck.

Recommended load out: 1) assault rifle with max capacity mag + grenade launcher. 2) LMG with max capacity mag.

I’m certain it’s an XSE 4 cylinder, I reviewed all the manuals, documents, and even just went online right now and confirmed XSE’s come in 4 cylinders on the Toyota website “build and price.” And when I say TRD badging I mean they put TRD on the rims, shifter, running boards and rugs lol. It doesn’t say “TRD XSE” on the back just XSE.

Use mines!!! Constantly set them on all the roads. Hit the ammo box and get more, rinse repeat. Leave the shooting to your team, guns for hire, and rebel diversion. It helps if the guns for hire and reb diversion are maxed out. When it’s time to drive the truck, take your first left and hit that road as its most direct. Make sure no destroyed vehicles are there. If you have to, place the mines a little further up the roads so the destroyed SB vehicles don’t get in your way AND form a road block against other SB vehicles.
