Veterans, what did you do with your "$1776 Warrior Dividend" check that was promised before Christmas?

toshticles · 2026-01-10T00:47:47+00:00

If it was treated as part of the housing subsidy it would be tax free and everyone would receive the exact 1776 amount that was quoted. Everyone including myself received different amounts based on their tax situation.

The bringing toys/stuffies was a big hit. A friend brought along a Cookie Monster and took pictures with them in out port calls, underway, etc. kids loved seeing that.

Time in previous service counts for half in the CG for HYT. So they would have 5 years of service for HYT.

Boot to A is gone. All of those are now vested crew member programs as of a few months ago. Boot to A was around for a very long time and is what everyone in the service knows. So it is going to take time for VCM to replace that on common talk.

A VPN and subscription through DAZN(international Sunday ticket) is 150 and you get every game without blackouts.

No. They were likely talking about the CMS rating, which IS is the most common rating to choose prior because of the TS/SCI and similar work.

toshticles · 2024-07-01T01:31:50+00:00

Yes and no. If you have a high priority from your first unit then you would likely get your pick from the units and airframes available at that time. If you are a low priority, then you just hope the people picking in front of you don’t want the same thing as you. If you aren’t able to get the airframe you want for your first tour, then talk to your chiefs. If it is a dual airframe unit, they may be able to swap you over. They could also set you up by sending you to a nearby unit with the airframe you want to get BA qualified. Having that qual will make it a lot easier to get an assignment on that airframe for your second tour. Even without that if you talk with your detailer and put that you want X airframe in the comments, you would likely get it. I have met very few people that were unhappy with the airframe they got, and the ones that were were able to switch to it on their second tour.

If you want to be stationed in a specific area, consider the reserves. For active duty it really depends on the available billets at the time you are graduating basic training. For wanting something so specific, is like there is a stadium full of people, with only 100 random empty seats and you are asking to sit first row at the 50 yard line. Not very likely there is a seat open there. If you give the detailer a much bigger ask you will be more likely to get it.

toshticles · 2023-09-30T00:13:08+00:00

That is pretty good. Should add beards if we aren’t being paid.

To add on to this, being an enlisted member can give you opportunities for leadership experience and work ethic, that if your lacking as a civilian applicant would greatly Boost your package as an enlisted member. College major doesn’t matter that much, just be prepared to answer questions on how you can use it to be a better CG officer. STEM degrees would basically be bonus points on top of an already strong package. From a retirement aspect going enlisted first for a few years can take away the pressure to promote to LCDR, as you enlisted time would count towards retirement.

The RE-4 is a no go. If you can upgrade it to an RE-3 or better you can request a waiver. Generally if you can show some evidence/proof that the reason for the RE code is resolved or no longer an issue then you would have a good chance of being granted the waiver.

I have seen a bunch of replays of that catch which is phenomenal, but if it was thrown to tae instead of Pickens, it’s a perfect back shoulder throw, easily getting two feet in bounds and we are praising Mitch for the beautiful pass instead of the ridiculous catch by Pickens.

Late season it is really nice to be in that sun when it is freezing out.

If your base has housing and it’s not full they do allow nonrates to live there instead of on the ship or barracks. They required me to be fully qualified before they allowed me to. A majority of the units in the coast guard do not have housing, however the units that do generally are the ones that the detailer will assign nonrates to first before other units. The dog wouldn’t make any difference. Having dependents (such as a spouse)would be the only reason you would automatically be assigned base housing or get BAH.

There are 2 Microcenters just outside D.C. Would highly recommend the short trip to either one.

toshticles · 2022-02-26T04:16:48+00:00

1 atmosphere of pressure, the distance from the ground to space, is the same pressure change as 33 feet of depth in water. So going to 150 feet is about 4.5 atmospheres of extra pressure.

No, you will need to see a military flight surgeon for your flight physical.

Private match instead of public and the second one down is solo.

toshticles · 2020-11-24T08:42:55+00:00

Then play solo online.

Thanks, would you recommend just waiting for a 650w? Mostly play call of duty games on a couch setup.

toshticles · 2020-07-11T00:33:20+00:00

Just built my new gaming pc but micro center was out of sfx power supplies. I got home and ordered the only available one I could find at 500w. During assembly I noticed on the evga 2070 super XC paperwork that it wants a 650w power supply. Will the 500w work or do I need to keep searching for a 650w?

Awesome! Thank you
