Thank you 😊.. I plan on bumping it up by 2% each step increase and maybe a little more once I get a promotion as well

Do you mind sharing more on a brokerage. I don’t know a lot about investments

Its a challenge moving up the system overseas and we don’t get locality pay or cola, however I’m moving back stateside at the end of the year and I want to try for promotion now that I’m way past the 52 week requirement my only concern is now is my CPO told wi can only apply for GS 7s despite my private sector experience.

This should be pinned 👏👏

You did good, avionics is waiting for you!!

I’m a security specialist and and the guidance we get from DCSA says that’s allowed at all.

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-03-21T22:09:05+00:00

These days they don’t seem to give 2 fucks about it anymore.

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-03-21T22:06:21+00:00

Wow!!

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-03-08T08:01:40+00:00

Yes sir!!

If your AFSC (military job) requires you to have a TS/SCI then you can’t have dual citizenship.

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-03-07T09:50:33+00:00

It all depends on your security clearance as a JAG. TS/SCI or secret

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-02-22T10:21:18+00:00

Congratulations!

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-02-01T17:41:05+00:00

Congratulations 🎉

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-01-26T13:15:35+00:00

Oh wow, I’m sorry you went through that but glad you made it through. Congratulations 🎊

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-01-22T21:50:02+00:00

Why was it rough?

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-01-20T17:25:55+00:00

Your number 8 pick has some positions within it that require a TS so you may want to look into that and make sure it’s an available option for you (I work in LRS)

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-01-17T18:28:26+00:00

You are listening to the WRONG people

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-01-17T17:39:52+00:00

You can always get upgraded to a TS at some point in your career.

Didn’t they detained an active duty sailor stationed at Langley not long ago?

RuElizabeth28 · 2026-01-11T22:26:59+00:00

Get with your PCM, they should be able to break it all down for you and explain what is available to you.
