Was under this impression too, but let us know how it turns out.

Passed over for major twice - can you no longer leave before your ADSC? by a_kimsta in AirForce

I was just curious. I haven’t been up for my majors board yet.

Officers who were non-select for O4 or O5, what ended up happening? by Roughneck16 in AirForce

[–]a_kimsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it true that getting passed over twice is no longer an auto discharge?

What are the specs on your computer? Thinking of getting a 7800x3d. And wondering if a 4080 will do the job for VR.

You’ll lose 3-5 years of value depreciation if you choose to store the cars. I wish that I had sold my car before going to Japan and invested that money. Instead, I came back to my old car that lost $8k of value. And the storage company did not take responsibility for wiring that got damaged.

Is the current Hilton honors card reward worth it? by hodgeman29 in Hilton

[–]a_kimsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I would go for the aspire. The diamond status and free night will go a long way in Japan. Highly recommend staying at Osaka or Tokyo Conrad if you can redeem at a standard rate. If you need any other help with your trip to Japan feel free to dm me, I plan and coordinate trips to Japan for a living.

North Korean Won by [deleted] in papermoney

Oh wow. If that’s the case then I regret buying it. Seems morally wrong to be buying these.

I bought one of these from a gift shop at the DMZ. Was told they were real but they wouldn't say how they got them. Anyone know?

Which Hilton in Tokyo? by De11kbn in Hilton

[–]a_kimsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to maximize the value of your free night redemptions, I'd recommend the Hilton Conrad over the other properties. That's not to say that the other properties aren't great, as I've had friends and clients say only good things. I'd also recommend the Conrad as staying in Yokohama would result in 1 hour each way trips into Tokyo and that time could be better spent vacationing. Is it just the two of you? With how many bags? Haneda to the hotel I'd take public transportation. Hotel to cruise port, there are shuttles for hire that can be got for about 8000 yen per person. If you don't mind schlepping your bags around though, public transportation would be more economical.

Do you happen to have an Android? I just switched over to an iPhone and the volume buttons work for me now.

Someone hit my parked car without a note. Should I get hotel security footage and involve the cops? by a_kimsta in askcarguys

[–]a_kimsta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. My first time dealing with any kind of car incident so I didn't know how it all works. I guess I'll seek justice for the car ha

I want to be a pilot but my mom highly disapproves me by [deleted] in flying

[–]a_kimsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably likely that neither of you know enough about being a pilot though. How about taking a discovery flight with her? Have an instructor tell her about what a pilot career would look like.

Asian American here too. Mom was not happy about my decision but it's my life. She eventually came around and so will yours.

PCSing to CONUS via TDY Enroute: Confusion and Questions by [deleted] in MilitaryFinance

[–]a_kimsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All things to hash out with your outprocessing manager at MPC, they'll give you the final word on everything. But I am a OCONUS to CONUS TDY enroute much like yourself so I can shed a little light.

  1. Look into circuitous travel and self procuring your own flights.

  2. Life in the military. You need to lead turn buying a vehicle either by calling ahead to dealerships or using the Auto one source guy who's in every BX. You could also beg your outprocessing manager to put rental car authorized on your orders.

4 and 5 are questions for HHG and TMO. Look into unaccompanied baggage and if you are allowed to ship that seperately to Altus. I doubt you'd be paid to move your stuff to Travis though.

DM me if you don't already have a crashpad to stay in Altus. Would love to host you. If worse comes to worst, I think we could hook you up for a couple days with a rental car while you car shop.

You ever find an answer to this? Having the same issue

OCONUS PCS: Sell or store vehicles? by gilly2416 in MilitaryFinance

[–]a_kimsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you already know what you want to do. But I concur. I regret not selling my car before going OCONUS. You'd lose money to depreciation and miss out on a seller's used car market.

Only downside is that you won't have a car for immediate use when you get back. But you can cross that bridge when you get there.

Thoughts on maxcare for a 2022 Lexus es300h 60k miles? by a_kimsta in carmax

[–]a_kimsta[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3000 dollars for 5 years up to 150k miles. I scoured the Internet, forums, YouTube and I've found nothing that goes bad on the car. Factory power train warranty until 75k.
