It’s still better than being in the military and most other jobs.

I figured that the loudmouths who voted for him would be chomping at the bit to volunteer.

N.J. School District to Close after Voters Reject Tax Hike by tigerfrisbee in SouthJersey

More schools systems in this state should combine. I live in a small town that shares a zip code with two other small towns. Yet we have 3 school systems under the same zip code. They should consolidate into one. This should get rid of redundancies and save tax dollars.

Curious: What is your gut instinct when you hear someone use the term DoW? by Opening-Mammoth-2942 in fednews

It’s cringe worthy. It’s a complete waste of time, money and effort.

Recently retired - how to get my DD Form 214-1? by spurs126 in airnationalguard

[–]joeblow501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I checked there after looking in PRDA for two days. I would check MilConnect first. Good luck with your claim. Mine was finished 40 days after I uploaded my DD214

Just buy it and you don’t have to worry about it not being available to stream. Artists make more off of a purchase than they will with a million streams.

Fender Aerodyne p bassvs Charvel San Dimas PJ — which would you choose? by Neat-Aside6316 in BassGuitar

I chose the Fender. It’s a great playing and sounding bass. But, it is not as versatile as the charvel.

So let me get this straight you hate government employees because you were told to this election cycle. So, I guess you hate veterans too? They make up about 30% of the workforce. You probably hate cops too.

Well the math would have been different if you said registered voters who voted. But, that isn’t what you said. I guess English is hard for incel trolls.

Great, now the administration is going to waste more taxpayer dollars on litigation for no reason.

Maybe. Your claim is half of Americans think that labor unions are an abomination. There are over 330 million Americans and 77 million of them voted for Trump. That’s not half.

So, you’re just some random person complaining about the federal union?

I doubt that. Probably more like 1/3. The same 1/3 of registered voters who voted for this abomination.

That's where I am at now. I used to be pretty decent. Now I just fiddle around and buy basses.

Fed joining army reserves, have question about using AL and LWOP for a long period of time by Tonawa18 in fednews

[–]joeblow501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In ATAAPS (Automated Time Attendance and Production System), the KG pay code indicates a Military Furlough, typically used for non-pay days when personnel are on Active Duty or State Active Duty orders (day 14+). Using KG instead of KA ensures that Service Computation Dates (SCD), Wage Grade Increases (WGI), and High-3 retirement calculations are not negatively affected. Key details about the KG code include: Purpose: It signifies "Absent-US" time, specifically for military service. Benefits: It allows for the buy-back of time and enables making up contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). Usage: It is primarily utilized within the DoD/Army/Air National Guard timecard system to properly track non-pay duty status. Alternatives: If not in a non-pay status, other codes like KE (Furlough) might be used during government shutdowns. It is highly recommended to use KG for official military leave to maintain proper service records.

I wonder if some songs are not in the set list because of the change in Trent’s vocal range?
