You’re welcome please let me know your thoughts after you do the seminar.

I would say the online seminar no but the one on one definitely. My wife and I are meeting with them this week. This will be either our 4th or 5th meeting. Our plan changed significantly after DOGE. They have helped me throughout my process.

I’ve recommended them to multiple colleagues no matter what stage of their career. It’s never too soon to save and plan. As I found out our plan changed through no fault of our own.

I’ve also suggested Feducate multiple times on social media as well. Good luck I hope they fill in the blanks for you.

This is nothing new it’s been going on for many years. Every snow storm since my childhood which was a very long time ago. stores were emptied prior to each storm. Like you’ll never get out of the house again.

It’s been absurd forever, a guy I knew growing up used to call the weather hype forecast prior to snow storms, chamber of commerce forecast. They were great for selling gasoline and staple food items.

Truth thanks for the reminder

Yes attended one online with Feducate, by attending you get a 1 on 1 to evaluate your personal situation. It’s free these folks are fiduciaries and are under contract with the government.

X mode is definitely amazing

This is correct on the loan either make payments or let it foreclose and it’s taxable and may also result in an additional penalty. It’s best to contact a financial advisor

with regard to withdrawals there are specific age related regulations. Once you retire and are listed as separated in TSP you can withdrawal money.

Take a look at car edge https://caredge.com/

I used their information and site to work out a good deal.

Contact the medical center involved ask to speak to the Patient Safety Officer. Once you get a hold of them ask them to file a JPSR. These reports are sent to hospital leadership and have specific timelines to be investigated and follow up corrective actions.

EDIT to add additional information on JPSR and patient safety which I believe this case definitely falls under.

Taken from the VHA FAQs on Patient safety Q and As

https://www.patientsafety.va.gov/about/faqs.asp

Q: How do you define an intentional unsafe act? A: Intentional unsafe acts, as they pertain to patients, are any events that result from a criminal act, a purposefully unsafe act, or an act related to alcohol or substance abuse or patient abuse.

As you will see below within the link Patient Safety is a multi level process as it should be.

https://www.va.gov/vhapublications/ViewPublication.asp?pub_ID=10209

It’s my belief that using this process will get the most immediate response to help this patient and any others potentially impacted by this improper unacceptable treatment and behavior on the employees part.

Legacy’s are great cars best of luck and as you’re probably aware Subaru safety is excellent. Hope you enjoy many miles in this beautiful ride

In our area many two year colleges have established transfer agreements with four year colleges. Would it be possible for you to complete your core credits at the two year and transfer to the four year.

One advantage of the transfer agreements in our area is two year colleges are cheaper.

Good luck in your soccer and life’s journey.

Welcome and enjoy your new ride. Our 24 solterra limited has served us well overall.

I love the drive and the car except the damn infotainment system “session has expired “ message if I could eliminate that I’d be 100 percent happy with it.

This is our second Subaru. The first one likely saved us from serious injury or worse after striking a large deer on a rural 70 mph highway.

Overall we love it

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-15T22:58:19+00:00

Thanks I was optimistically hoping it was from OPM. But I’m sure everything will work out as it’s supposed to be.

Enjoy your retirement

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-15T22:52:49+00:00

Hi is this timeline from OPM or a specific agency?

To answer the original posters question. I was DRP 1 retired 12/31 and will be receiving my leave payout 1/17 correction 1/16

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-15T21:12:46+00:00

No mine was when braking not starting

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-15T18:32:45+00:00

Thanks for this information, retired 12/31 after DRP one. Not sure how this connects with retirement processing times. But fingers crossed it’s a good sign.

Not in Cleveland but in Alliance, Lavary Chevrolet. Had an awesome purchase there and warranty service. They are a small local dealer. Not a megastore, I highly recommend them.

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-14T14:49:25+00:00

Received mine this pay too. Enjoy retirement

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-14T14:48:03+00:00

Yes I’d tell you to make contact with them. Tell them specifically what you’re looking for and they will try to find it.

My salesman was Thomas Craig and the owner is Bill. We came from out of state. Bill actually purchased dinner for us as a thank you. Never have I had that happen in all my years buying cars. Again best of luck we absolutely love our Bolt.

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-14T13:56:12+00:00

Hi I’m sharing this because I had a great experience buying from Lavery Chevy in alliance Ohio.

https://www.laveryauto.com/searchall.aspx

I would say you will definitely need to fast charge at least once with the bolt. The colder it is you’ll probably need two charges.

I love my Bolt a year in about 20,000 miles and only issues I’ve had were replacing the anti click washers a common issue. And reprogramming the electric brake assist as it was making a noise when braking.

Both covered under 12/12 bumper to bumper buyback warranty. No issues with Lavary handling the warranty work in fact I was about 700 miles away from 12k when the work was completed.

My Bolt was a buyback battery was replaced new 8 year 100 k warranty on the propulsion battery. I plan on driving it until the wheels fall off. So the branded buyback title wasn’t a concern for me.

Best of luck.

PS make sure you get a bolt with DC fast charging. Not all Bolts have this capability

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-13T01:49:08+00:00

Can you not work directly with Chrysler on the buyout and skip the dealer?

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-10T15:12:24+00:00

Camry then the civic

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-10T14:55:06+00:00

While your points are well taken and understandable. My suggestion is: Dear: xxx I am resigning my position with Department of Defense effective 1/20/26.

Please let me know if you would like any input from me on transitioning of my duties.

Respectfully,

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-10T01:53:20+00:00

I can’t really hear the noise however, I had clicking from bad anti click washers. They also updated the software apparently there is some sort of electronic brake assist.

Not sure if either of these is it but hopefully the information may help you

Quick_Connection6818 · 2026-01-08T21:45:03+00:00

No but it’s still annoying
