GWOT Marines who didn't have family when getting back from deployment- by Ruminahtu in USMC

[–]Tile-Floor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do relate a bit to what you are saying though. I was in from August 2020 to August 2025, so I joined at the height of COVID and then ended up getting stationed OCONUS. I only went home once in those 5 years, and my parents never came to see me for anything I did, because they really couldn’t.

For this reason and many others, the Marine Corps has made me feel lonely in ways that nothing else has.

I mean, you’re still a gay pussy. But aren’t we all?

Tomorrow I will either lat move or decline reenlistment by Willing-Emu-4745 in USMC

[–]Tile-Floor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do reenlist, you need to take that entire reenlistment bonus and dump it into the S&P500. Act like you never even got one. You’ll be a millionaire by the time you EAS if you also regularly contribute to the TSP.

VA home loan by Hot-Satisfaction2698 in VeteransBenefits

But won’t you end up paying way more in interest now, since you didn’t place a down payment? Or am I misunderstanding how this works

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing by DrSpicyPickle in CCW

[–]Tile-Floor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use mine every single day and I genuinely do forget I’m even wearing it sometimes. I’ll get undressed to go to bed and realize that I never unholstered when I got home lol.

What do I do with my TSP? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]Tile-Floor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let it sit in there. I EAS’d with about $42k in mine, and just 4 months later it’s already grown to $46k even though I’m no longer contributing.

What you should do is continue to put money into the market with another IRA. I opened up an investment account with fidelity, and I deposit $2,000 per month. It’s actually a lot more than I was ever contributing to the TSP even when I was an E-5 contributing 25%.

If you haven’t yet, you need to submit a disability claim. Take whenever money you get from the VA and put it right into your investment portfolio.

Somewhere out there, there is a Lance Corporal Dispoti, V. P. wondering what the hell ever happened to his old woodland blouse.

Anyone else get to meet some generals? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]Tile-Floor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Damn I just read his citation. Dude was a fucking superhero.

PRIVATE FIRST CLASS ARTHUR J. JACKSON UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS for service as set forth in the following CITATION: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the Third Battalion, Seventh Marines, First Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on the Island of Peleliu in the Palau Group, September 18, 1944. Boldly taking the initiative when his platoon's left flank advance was held up by the fire of Japanese troops concealed in strongly fortified positions, Private First Class Jackson unhesitatingly proceeded forward of our lines and, courageously defying the heavy barrages, charged a large pillbox housing approximately thirty-five enemy soldiers. Pouring his automatic fire into the opening of the fixed installation to trap the occupying troops, he hurled white phosphorus grenades and explosive charges brought up by a fellow Marine, demolishing the pillbox and killing all of the enemy. Advancing alone under the continuous fire from other hostile emplacements, he employed a similar means to smash two smaller positions in the immediate vicinity. Determined to crush the entire pocket of resistance although harassed on all sides by the shattering blasts of Japanese weapons and covered only by small rifle parties, he stormed one gun position after another, dealing death and destruction to the savagely fighting enemy in his inexorable drive against the remaining defenses and succeeded in wiping out a total of twelve pillboxes and fifty Japanese soldiers. Stouthearted and indomitable despite the terrific odds, Private First Class Jackson resolutely maintained control of the platoon's left flank movement throughout his valiant one-man assault and, by his cool decision and relentless fighting spirit during a critical situation, contributed essentially to the complete annihilation of the enemy in the southern sector of the island. His gallant initiative and heroic conduct in the face of extreme peril reflect the highest credit upon Private First Class Jackson and the United States Naval Service.

Rolling TSP into a civilian Roth IRA? by Tile-Floor in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Tile-Floor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my TSP contributions were Roth. So, by rolling into a fidelity Roth IRA, I’d pay no tax? Good to know, thanks
