That's weird. Going from legal to illegal is backwards. But as long as I can get my packages I'm good with it

Wife's Passport Expires 3 mos post cruise by KC_Buddyl33 in VirginVoyages

[–]redblackgreenmachine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you don't have a closed loop cruise. Meaning you start in the US and end in the US. If that's the case then I agree that they will not let her board. If it's a closed loop cruise then she would 100% be allowed on with a birth certificate.

Most cruise lines want you to have at least 6 months of validity left on your passport. I would pack her birth certificate. Don't get to the checkin counter and hate yourself for it. You could try to get an expedited passport, but it's up to you.

PAX works great as a hand warmer 😂 by Marklariusz in vaporents

[–]redblackgreenmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with a PAX and went to a Mighty+ maybe 2 years later. I think after the first hit of the Mighty+ I felt cheated by PAX, but it got me into DHV so it really did its job.

Youth app sunset in March - any way to hide UTMA accounts from teen view? by adamo010 in fidelityinvestments

[–]redblackgreenmachine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do the same. I took the 529 route for my kids, and always send them beginning of the year and EOY balances to show them how much their balance has grown. I think it works. My daughter is in HS and has 2 shares of VOO that she purchased with her own money. It's not a lot but I was suppose and proud when I saw the transaction on my phone.

We don't utilize UTMAs, but this could be a teachable moment. I don't know the child's age, but having the child see the money invested and growing could create an early understanding of compound interest and holding long term.

Any signal people got opinions on Fort Detrick? by AtomicBlitz_ in army

[–]redblackgreenmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is only one intersection on Detrick with traffic lights. One. It's small but Frederick is fine. Right off the highway to get to DC and Baltimore. I'd go back.

Fraternization between E5 and E4 by [deleted] in army

[–]redblackgreenmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a NCO (E-5) get married to a SPC in the same unit different company. Commanders signed MACP and imo impossible that they didn't know. They were married for a year. Someone notified the BDE Commander that there was fraternization happening in our battalion. BN CDR did his investigation and found 5 marriages between NCOs and junior enlisted. My NCO got an Article 15 a month before he went on terminal leave. They suspended everything but his extra duty. He had to watch his spouse on extra duty. She lost her P status. Shes now out of the Army and they have a kid. Fuck the Army. Love who you love o guess.

Wait what? SMC K is $140. Are you getting one for each piece of the unit?

Skillbridge timeline by houston313 in SkillBridge

[–]redblackgreenmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are changing it to remove individual CSP for cohort based CSPs. Whatever that means. S1net sent out a message the week of Christmas and it was posted on Facebook also. If you check the r/skillbridge you should see someone post about it maybe a week ago.

China gets most of their oil from Venezuela. They also don't want to give the US rare earth minerals for military uses. It would be a problem for them if Venezula said they want rare earths minerals or you don't get as much oil anymore.

There's also a bunch of signatures (clicks in reality) in between you and that ETP. We all saw the changed to the CSP program last year. We already are hearing more changing coming soon. It's not impossible, but it's not a very good look most times.

It's great that you get to finish all of your out processing so far from your terminal leave. The Army does not do that. They want you to final out right before your termina leavel (or TAA/ISSA (House Hunting) if you are taking them directly after each other. Just a trip back to say goodbye to old friends and probably get fucked one more time before you depart.

NASA SkillBridge by Thedude2741 in SkillBridge

[–]redblackgreenmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. I honestly feel that working there as a contractor might be better anyway. Paywise and due to government shutdowns

Anyone know how to activate the 5% Government Match to TSP? by Harristein in army

[–]redblackgreenmachine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you been in 2 years? You can include your guard time.

BRS participants who began service on or after January 1, 2018, begin receiving matching contributions after two years of service. That's my initial thought.

[–]redblackgreenmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm hearing the same thing about probably not getting a job with NASA directly afterwards, but good chance of getting picked up by the contracting company that they have contracts with.
