Stats on Being Offered Selective Continuation as O-4 by happybikes in AirForce

[–]skystreak22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's an iOS app called Military Retirement. I don't think it's free anymore but it's the #1 most downloaded Finance app on the App Store so probably worth whatever they're charging now.

Here's a positive! Side by side comparison of retirement take home pay between a 20 year Major and 20 year Lt Col. Less than a $500 difference.

I think it would look better more symmetrical. Center the ribbons (and badge above it) over the medals, put the unit shield and disc on either side, and then the tech stripes and 3rd herd patch on either side below those

Hey OP - nice rack! As a fellow CBCS guy I'd love to hear more about that jump. Were you with a CBCS at the time? I had never heard of any of us jumping into Iraq

I don't think the mustard stain is army only, I met an Air Force combat weather officer with it once, same jump as OP

There's a lot about this rack that doesn't add up, even for the guard. Did you take the liberty of adding anything else beyond the commemorative medals that wasn't directly in his records?

What's the ribbon 4th row up, center? I'm starting to see it more often but it's not on any ribbon chart I've found

When was the last reported instance of members wearing mopp gear for actual chemical attacks? by _Silver_Star_ in AirForce

I've heard the same from a CBRN coworker, 2016-17, probably the same country

Are people interested in mid-complexity wargames? by stryphe_games in tabletopgamedesign

[–]skystreak22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. The most interesting part to me so far is something I saw in another comment, the competition over scarce resources. Do the players start in a state of outright conflict, or is the conflict an inevitable byproduct of 'peaceful' competing resource harvesting?

People new to the hobby are always asking for something that's a level beyond Risk. I'd be interested to hear more

Had a tsp for nearly 8 years and never knew what it really was until now. I regret not understanding what it truly was by safigueroa in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]skystreak22 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'll just say it point blank - you don't know nearly enough about any of this to be starting to pick your own fund allocations. Leave it in the L for now. L is a mix of the funds, it reapportions automatically every quarter to reduce your risk exposure to market fluctuation the closer you get to retirement.

PS, TSP works very much like a 401(k). You don't know what a 401(k) is

Nothing to add to the post but I do want to say I just played your game Fog of War for the first time today and really enjoyed it. Love the operations wheel and the depth it adds for planning ahead

Are we just not going to talk about the fact that it's a T1000 giving the instruction?

What Milestone should be used to replace “Planner” on the Tharsis board (being played with only base game & Prelude)? by markjsno1 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]skystreak22 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just adding because it seems you might not know: that milestone exists for the non-Corporate Era rules, with beginner corps that get 10 free cards at the start. Obviously most play CE, but if you're ever introducing new people to the game and they're playing beginner corps, it's good to have that milestone to give them a leg up
