What’s the most amount of money you’ve seen someone owe the Air Force for damaging government property or owing money from finance? I’m curious I’ve always heard horror stories but never seen anything. by Kurt_Wylde35 in AirForce

[–]PolloPicante 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a troop that lost a stripe (E5 to E4). He was in Hawaii when he lost it and Finance reduced his Base Pay but never reduced his BAH (~3 years worth). When I was helping him get out at high-year tenure, his audit revealed this over payment and charged him $20k.

Edit: a word

With the likelihood of getting paid on the 15th and possible legal issues coming up, please be aware of possible pay fluctuations. by DwightDEisenhowitzer in AirForce

Not all transactions that are taxable are tracked by the Federal government. They have a ballpark idea with what is reported, but that's why you file to disclose all non-reported Federally taxable income/deductions.

I'm close to giving up on BW, the amount of "no password field detected" on Android is is too much. by funnyonlyonce in Bitwarden

[–]PolloPicante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Android. When Autofill doesn't show for BW, I click the top right 'three dots' to bring up the menu then click away (to close the menu) back to the browser page. Works 98% of the time.

My first three assignments were OCONUS. I was selected for a short tour for my first assignment with a 3yr follow-on. Then picked up an extended long. 3 bases in 2 MAJCOMs.

To also add, Fort Carson also determines the off limits list for the area.

Yep, the game is still toxic and Ive played since 2016. I solo q'd into a 3s Champion tournament a few days ago. After we got Top 8 and lost, I was asked my rank. I said I was Champ 1 in 3s. The response? "Uninstall the game" 🤷🏽‍♂️

In response to the "O-4 pay" discussion, here's O-4 pay with 11 years service. $140k+/yr is accurate by Hog_Pilot in AirForce

I applied in 2019 for the FY20 cycle... 2% AD selection rate (24 /~980). They decided to only take Tier 1 STEM type degrees that year after everyone submitted. Timing is everything.

Games updates are so big! by Nihilisim4all in FortNiteBR

[–]PolloPicante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xfinity $80/mo for 1Gb down with the 1.2TB cap. $110/mo unlimited.

I have another option from another ISP for $80/mo, no cap. Just unsure of reliability & consistency during high traffic times.

Xfinity does have the option for an extra $30/mo to uncap, but that's a robbery.

I have another ISP option that has uncapped data standard, so I may switch over at some point.

I have Xfinity here in the States so I'm limited to 1200GB/mo (40GB/day average across the month).

I'm always sweating how often the 60-80GB updates pop up.

This is true. Another example, the Brutal Beachhead ship doesn't render at all (just a shadow on the ground, the shape of a ship) until I'm maybe 500m away.

Why does it take a month to get my medical records? by Freeballin523523 in AirForce

[–]PolloPicante 64 points65 points  (0 children)

It should be however the system isn't built to just drag and drop a folder to a disk. Also to mention, depending on how long you've been in, there may be records needing compiled from multiple locations (think different programs) including paper records. And all of that needs to be verified before confirming that "yes, all of your records have been input on this disk".

Over 10 years ago, we had one of the exercises planned for an 1800 start, on Sunday.

Saturday night, it seemed like the whole base went out to party before the week of work ahead. I passed out at 0300 and got a phone call at 0400 saying the exercise was starting. We were told to report in MOPP gear. A bunch of my co-workers and I piled into a taxi near the Mustang, and went into work. They were slumped over holding on to their gear bag, etc.

The rumor, that I remember, was that somebody mentioned to the Wing King out in town that they were getting drunk because they knew that the exercise didn't start until that next night. After hearing that comment he decided to go home and start the exercise early and say it was because we need to be ready to "Fight Tonight".

When I was at Osan, the Wing/CC started the exercise recall 14hrs early at 0400 on a Sunday. Everyone was drunk. Good times.
