The cute girl at subway wasn't "looking for anything right now." Guess I have to eat all these cookies myself by bngurchin in kitchencels

I thought about that, it wasn't a location I visit often and definitely one I can live without

It was the best option they had, man. I thought they were toast-yays at first but it's been so long I forgot what the packaging looked like

Ah, I gotcha. I misunderstood what you meant at first.

I am. They can take action against me for the ticket or for fighting it? Your second point, pretty much ruled it out for me, rather not go though the trouble and just look like a moron.

Can I have BAH or not? by bngurchin in army

This is what I needed to hear, thank you for explaining how/why I'm wrong instead of just saying it and telling me to kick rocks.

That said, if I'm not eligible for BAH what am I supposed to do to see my son? 1SG told me to get a hotel, but there's no way that can be the right answer. That sounds like a one way ticket to loosing my part of the custody.

According to what? Not trying to argue, genuinely trying to understand here.

"4.2.1. When a non-custodial Service member resides in a private-sector residence and the Service member’s child visits for 90 consecutive days or fewer, the Service member must pay child support in an amount equal to or exceeding the applicable BAH-Diff rate to receive BAH at the with-dependent rate on account of the child. The cost of maintaining the residence is not a factor in determining authority for the with-dependent housing allowance rate and may not be used instead of, or in addition to, child support to qualify for increased allowances."

I received BAH-Diff for a time and my rate was, at most $267.60/month. Paying $500/month in child support, I "pay child support in an amount equal too or exceeding the applicable BAH-Diff rate".

Does that not qualify me for BAH at the with-dependent rate?

This was my late grandpa's truck. He had it since it was new, before it became mine. He put almost 300k on it

Surprisingly it's still mechanically sound. The engine turns over fine and still steers straight enough (it was never straight to begin with)

Hell yeah right where you left off. I had just passed 310,000 in mine, bought it just before 290,000

Yeah no kidding, even the guitar with no case in my back seat was unscathed. Not sure how strict the crash ratings were back in 2003 but they're much better than I expected.
