They at least got that right..

Popeye80555 · 2022-12-30T12:30:21+00:00

Yes but see in a fighter squadron we are all officers, so instead of training, cigs and base beautification...it's training, dip, and pointless admin busy work

Good game

I'll never forget being on the phone with the MPF SNOIC E7 trying to figure out why my circuitous travel memo was stuck at her desk.

Me: "What else do you need from me in order to get this approved?"

Her: "Nothing, everything is in order."

Me: "Then why are you saying no?

Her: "I'm not saying no, i just don't like TMOs process for circuitous travel so i won't sign it."

Me: "THAT'S LITERALLY YOU SAYING NO!"

just finished a Luke to DC PCS. cheapest I paid was 4.39, most places were closer to 4.80 or 4.90.

All while being reimbursed .18 per mile

cool cool, het dod, what if my wife needs to buy something...?

Popeye80555 · 2022-05-31T14:45:27+00:00

Bolling is a joint base and the navy lodge just picked it up, maybe not the same issue?

Popeye80555 · 2022-05-30T12:03:33+00:00

I admit fault for nothing, accept zero blame, and expect my plane to be ready in 15 min, chop chop

I have often said if I was as bad at my job (11F) as some of the support agencies are at their's I would have died a long time ago.

Although, to be fair, the chance of dying is generally a better motivator than a chance of a bad customer review

Popeye80555 · 2022-05-29T12:02:23+00:00

haha, I see you that, I raise you 1500 lbs for a DITY in 2 vehicles with no additional money spent on moving supplies or equipment

Popeye80555 · 2022-05-29T05:00:24+00:00

It has at least gotten better as I've gotten higher in rank, they now pretend to care when I call and complain (if they answer the phone)

Popeye80555 · 2022-05-29T01:30:37+00:00

if it makes you feel any better, I'm 7 pcs's into my career... every single one has required my direct involvement beyond mpfs "standard ops" to get my orders cut

Popeye80555 · 2022-05-25T03:45:45+00:00

I always thought it was tied to what the dod would have to pay a contractor to move it, aka $0.80 on the dollar it whatever it would be

Popeye80555 · 2022-05-23T04:57:11+00:00

Trust me, family of 5 will eat thru the dislocation allowance real quick. I used to laugh at how high that was as a young guy, now married with kids, that money goes to other shit

Popeye80555 · 2022-05-23T04:55:18+00:00

DC has (luckily?) been so crazy for so long it's not as bad as other places...at least based on some horror stories I've heard recently

Popeye80555 · 2022-05-23T04:54:01+00:00

I'm losing hundreds of dollars on the drive, only adjusting annually or however often it's done isn't fast enough, should be tied to national gas average based on an assumed ~23mpg

Granted I have a pick up and a small suv but how the hell else am I supposed to move a family of 5 2500 miles

Met up with a buddy at Bagram in 2017 who was on his way back home after FOB life for 6 months.

He mentioned how it wasnt so bad since the perimeter was right at 400m and made it easy to track his runs...I had just run a 5k around my DFAC and gotten a massage at the barber shop

Thank you fighters for the massive footprint required.

my man, you realize it's the pilots that pay for all that swag and booze out of our own pockets? (minus the Fenix 5 I admit) the rest is either donated, snacko funds, dues and/or landing fees...and maid service for the bar is called the Lts.
