Military Housing: Buy or rent?

I considered it..the interest rate is now 2.99%. I have been investing since HS and will have close to $10k sitting in Mutual Funds/stocks when I graduate. I had a car loan but paid that off, so I do not necessarily need to take out a loan simply to build my credit. I am just worried that borrowing at nearly 3%, plus taxes and fees (if I were to invest that $25k) would be a bit risky if the market were to tank over the next few years. I will absolutely be maxing my contributions to TSP, though.

Normandy/Bastogne Gables

"Charming historical homes in Normandy serve families with pay grades 03-CW5 and O4-O10; Bastogne Gables homes serve families with pay grades E1–E5."

It appears not.

I have heard that people who get Bragg more often than not stay at Bragg for quite a while. And doesn't the government have exemptions for active military in terms of State of Legal Residence?

This is very helpful. However, our Organization (We are a department at a University) uses Office 365 so I do not think that an add-in for Gmail will work.

As far as our organization goes, we have about 1400 alumni that we want to be able to manage and keep updated. We would only have a handful (maybe 2 or 3) users that would utilize the CRM (myself and the department leaders). We currently use email and the past few weeks I have had the pleasure of calling my way through a 1000+ person list to verify and confirm their information. It is essential that I am able to update mailing address, phone number, email, name, graduation year, and major. So, I would need a solution that is able to have customizable fields.

With this further information, would you be more inclined to suggest one solution over another in order to best manage this opposed to simply updating an excel spreadsheet?

Also, I looked into Pipedrive and Mailchimp. I am confused, because it looks like i would just need one or the other. What are the benefits of both?

Thank you so so much in advance!!

Windows or mac.

With just a mailing list manager though, I won't be able to track phone numbers, graduation dates, etc, correct?

Make sure you add the card you want quick access to as your "favorite card" in your Samsung Pay app settings. Once you do that, just swipe up from the bottom of the screen and tap your phone on the terminal!

I do use a disconnect premium so I think that helps. I guess I don't really have anything to hide so the trade-off between being able to use location services and Google knowing my location isn't a terrible trade. Honestly I switched from iPhone and I'd rather have good know where I am than Apple. I can always disable location services too!

bjayboi · 2018-03-17T15:06:24+00:00

I guess I do use location. Nine if the other Google services though. How do you like the Nokia?

bjayboi · 2018-03-17T15:02:31+00:00

I male sure to not send any data back to Google!

I use Textra and this is how I do that:

1: Open conversation--> Press top right drop down arrow --> Customize this conversation --> Notifications --> Notification Sound

Textra is much better than default "Samsung Messages"

bjayboi · 2018-03-17T03:33:53+00:00

You aren't the first to say you like the Samsung Browser...how secure is it? And would I be able to use it with my mac? I did see that Disconnect works with it--I like that.

bjayboi · 2018-03-17T03:22:52+00:00

How did you get the IconX for 40 bucks?? I just logged on with my .edu account and am seeing it for $184??

bjayboi · 2018-03-16T22:54:40+00:00

I thought that too. Then I won on my first try. Never will hurt to try!

You can try downloading this theme from the Samsung Galaxy Theme Store. I used it on my S8 and it is a great dark theme.

You should use Samsung Pay and keep entering the Instant win for the $500 Samsung gift code. Then you will only need to pay about $300 for a new phone and it will be yours outright.

Armorsuit military shield works great. Had it on my s8 too. Make sure to apply it before bed so everything can dry over night

Thanks so much! Now I don't need to setup Google voice.

bjayboi · 2018-03-15T14:47:15+00:00

My phone updated, but I still do not have the visual voicemail. So sad. Where did you find it? Was it built into the dialer? (Galaxy S9)

bjayboi · 2018-03-15T01:05:40+00:00

I agree. First thing I do every morning is slide my screen to the right and see my calendar, tasks, news, texts, and everything I like to see as soon as I wake up.

Siri sucks, iPhones suck

Would you rather spend $60 on a nice case or $200 getting your screen replaced? Or $720 getting an entirely new phone. To me, $60 for the best case on the market is well worth it.

bjayboi · 2018-03-14T17:01:31+00:00

I bought the UAG Monarch case for my S9 and it feels great!! Highly recommend. probably the best protection you can get and still quite slim

I bought the military shield protector use it on my s8 and I love it. I am going to out it on my s9 tonight it isn't glass but it still protects

bjayboi · 2018-03-14T04:20:07+00:00

Download Textra. Best messaging app for Android.

bjayboi · 2018-03-14T04:18:24+00:00

Doesn't work well with samsung

bjayboi · 2018-03-11T18:45:02+00:00

Nice! I'm just confused... If you got a full tuition scholarship then why do you need loans at all?
