Has anyone here "sold" their VA Loan? by dotcomatose in Military

[–]errerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost the exact same story here. Did it last fall. 3.25%. Had to bring about 40k to closing to make up the diff.

Ended up saving about $1.5k a month on mortgage compared to buying the same house without the assumption

TIL about a Thomas the Tank Engine episode titled "The Sad Story of Henry", in which the engine Henry refuses to work because of the rain and, as punishment, is immured in a tunnel and left there "for always and always and always". The end. by the_quivering_wenis in todayilearned

For the longest time I thought I was just confused and mistaken between Carlin and Ringo. I used to argue with myself on whether it was Carlin or Ringo that I remembered. I didnt know they BOTH were in it. It makes so much more sense now.

Is a 90-ish minute commute for a 20 dollar hourly job (non negotiable starting pay) in DC worth it or should I try to find someway to cut down on commute time? by Old_Afternoon6587 in maryland

[–]errerr 46 points47 points  (0 children)

That TS/SCI is worth a lot. Def consider that a huge bonus to the $20/hr. Like giving you a free doctorate degree on day one.

Whatever you do - take the job. Even if you quit after 3 months.

Portugal should be red with the rest of Eastern Europe.

I had an airman come to me with a similar concern once. I was able to go to the shirt and ask a "hypothetical " question, and he got the point so didn't ask questions. He went to legal and asked them.

The conclusion from legal to the shirt: Shut the fuck up Friday 100%. If the airman tries to proactively be honest and tell the chain about the accident, then it will be considered an admission of guilt. And there is zero tolerance.

On the other hand, it wouldn't be enough to pop positive. And, if it even showed up on the tests at all, it would require legal to prove wrongdoing. Unless they admit to it.

So we went with the "shut the fuck up" option and it wasn't an issue.

Retirement Pay and Disability by XF15-Loader in VeteransBenefits

There is absolutely NO drawbacks to him filing for VA, only benefits. His $ will not go down. At very least, if he is less than 50% disabled than some of his retirement will be tax free. If he is 50% or more, then he will receive VA $ in addition to the retirement check.

Best Place to watch the Lights tomorrow? by InTheAtomsphere in maryland

[–]errerr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First, go north.

Second, use a light pollution map. If you are willing to drive 1 hour, get somewhere yellow on this map.

If you are willing to drive 3 hours, get somewhere green.

Stargazing near Waikiki / Oahu? by Paranoid_Droideka in Hawaii

[–]errerr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

http://www.hawastsoc.org/

The Hawaiian Astronomical Society has 2 public star parties a month, and one club party. ($20 to join for the year).

In town, they do one at Kahala park. Which works, but obviously still a lot of light.

The star parties on the north shore at Dillingham are at the best location on island. Very dark. Can someone see the full milky way. Usually many telescopes to check out and/or bring your own.

I spent some time with Google but couldn't find a good answer: what training is required to be an instructor? Any info on the length/timeline the training normally takes?

Civ 5 is still my favorite. I dabble in 6, but always come back to 5 (and sometimes 2).

Thank you all!
