They're like RFOs...except they get paid less.

Good experience...low fees...I like their fund history...solid website where you can adjust as necessary very easily...very good customer service but, like elsewhere, can vary depending on how much coin you are putting in play.

I do. I transfered my TSP to an IRA with them. My FedEx B plan, 401k and another, separate FedEx plan is there as well. I'm pretty evenly split between USAA and Vanguard.

Because there is always some cheap bastard that "forgets" to figure in tax and/or tip and then goes to the head while everyone else tries to figure out who is short.

At first I was going to give you some advice that I thought your company name was a borderline porn website name. How many people really know what a hot pump is? I typed in hot pump to Google and didn't get one so my bad. I decided to leave it alone and check out the site. ...and I found...

There is nothing wrong with having investment properties in your portfolio. Yes, I said investment properties not the house you bought that you now want to rent because you can't sell it. Most investment gurus will tell you not to delve into investment properties until you have maxed your...

Here's something my wife I did my whole career. For every raise you receive (promotion, yearly COLA, longevity salary increase, etc.) use 25% to better your QOL and 75% towards bills/investments. I'm not going to get into what you should/shouldn't spend your money on here....we could argue...

I hear ya. While it doesn't affect (much) a reserve slug like me, I know it could change our lines. I'm trying to get smart on it so I can educate others and we can do the right thing. For the wannabes...here is an example of something similar (simplified). FAA rule that you can't exceed 8...

It's a good gig. I'm 2nd year at FedEx (99.5% senioriry within the company) and this was my first month with a real paid vacation. After working some contractual vacation magic, I will work all of four days this month. FedEx plus Uncle Sugar will be just north of $13K for March. Sadly, my...

You are correct. Thanks for the correction. I still think I'm right about one of them:)

I know something you don't know...nah nah-nah nah-nah nah. For some of you, your future will change drastically. For others, not so much. Until you know which group you are in, just stay up nights and sweat it. Nothing quite like throwing a grenade into someone's future room and leaving while...

Some major airline B plans do this like Delta 12%, United 16%, FedEx 7%, UPS 12%...just to name a few.

I didn't read it all because I couldn't get passed the quote above. I'm pretty sure all the info is helpful but to open with the above statements shows how arrogant you are and possibly power hungry as well. You state you follow the law, but only because you have to. People like you are why the...

R1 - mowin' them down one poster at a time...

The NAMI Waiver guide is in a sticky thread in the docs corner. Chapter 10 Waivers may be considered for OSA with UPPP and/or CPAP after complete resolution of symptoms and documentation of no Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) by vigilance testing. IRT deploying... All I know is I have seen...

I also stated she obviously didn't play well with others. Same thing you said above, just less words.

I'll default to yeahguy's memory on this one. I don't specifically remember if she made it so I didn't include that in my post. It was ten years and I don't know how many drinks ago. @R1- better bucks indeed...FedEx + USN Retired pay > USN AD pay. I miss the people but not the babysitting...

The point you missed (or I failed to make) lies within your use of commas in your first question. It was a list of groups. Your second question describes the largest group. The group gets smaller as you check off each category you fit into. Group study and group think is a proven tool. You...

CNATRA has an entire office dedicated to tracking the data. Dr Hooper runs the show. At risk groups of students (minority, female, married, prior E) have all shown to do statistically (on average) worse than larger, more common groups. These groups were often treated differently during my time...

Here's some data... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/navy/ails/moorer3.html http://www.deseretnews.com/article/460239/WHAT-KILLED-FEMALE-AVIATOR-BLAME-NAVYS-QUOTA-POLICY.html?pg=all&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bing.com%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dkara%2Bhultgreen%2Bcrash%2Bcover%2Bup%26form%3DAPIPA1

C'mon dude. Directly above your thread in the Doc's corner there is a sticky thread called ***NAMI Medical Waiver Guide*** Discussion in 'DOC's corner' started by eddie, Dec 14, 2007. Initiative will be expected as well as decent hearing. OBTW- try chapter one under...you guessed it...hearing.

I'm not going to get into some back and forth about dark humor and its perceived proper place in the grand scheme of aviation and the grieving process, but I will say this... When that day comes for me, make the joke. I want you to. If any of you assholes DON'T make that joke when I die then...

It's a pretty standard dark joke around the places you are trying to go work. The running joke is... Q: What do you do if the pilot has a heart attack in flight? A: That depends...is he senior to me? This isn't the Navy. Pickle's joke is a common one.

Your subordinates don't remember (or see for that matter) you working but they will definitely remember when you aren't. Just remember this: If you have nothing to do, go do nothing somewhere else. "Nothing" may be over simplifying what I am saying, but you get the idea. Perception is...

Ain't that a bitch! Even discussing swimming at API can make me feel old:/

This may have been said somewhere before but I'll say it again... With a new syllabus, CNATRA makes a phantom pool of completers with made up NSSs....50 if I remember correctly. You are compared to that. You and your squadron peers change that pool and replace them as you go. By this point the...

From what I remember they are going to make sure you can do each stroke efficiently enough to survive...freestyle, sidestroke, breaststroke, backstroke. Each stroke has its purpose in a survival situation IRT energy conservation, distance to travel, speed you need to travel that distance, sea...

For this guy?

When I was the AO at JRB Fort Worth circa 2005-07... We had an instruction that detailed how to request Geobachelor status. The base CO would look at each case individually and, depending on the case and the Q's occupancy, would approve/disapprove the request. The approved request was...

I am in favor of females in all positions.

If you hadn't smoked MJ, you would be assured it isn't an issue. Your attempt to own your mistake(s) is severely weakened by the way you still deflect blame on others for the situation you are in today. You will never move forward until you own it completely. Once you do, you will find people...

...and don't ever not try something because you are afraid of failure. It is a slippery slope that will have you growing old in your home town because you were too scared to break the comfortable mold you live in.

Don't ever resort to fluffing. You'll never get in the business that way and you will always be called on just to fluff. Fluff once and you'll be a fluffer for life.

Not a Marine but I did the VT thing for a bit... I remember talking to TW-4 Marines and they said they wanted Corpus to guarantee fixed wing. According to them, the monitor would tell them they would go fixed wing but upon reporting to TW-5 they often were redistributed to shore up the HTs if...

Wait...what? Sweet....the next time an AW member invites me over for a beer I should expect to see Chris Hansen and star on "To Catch a Predator." I already have some rope, duct tape, condoms and half a handle of vodka in the trunk...I'm ready.

My point on the drama thing was this (and thanks for making it for me Flash)... Someone posted something you didn't like so you both felt the need to chime in and right the ship or show solidarity for your like-minded forum friends. Webmaster just posted that everyone is free to express their...

I'm fairly sure BzB is capable of defending himself and doesn't need someone to tell him when he should be offended. I'm thinking this is a great example of the type of crap discussed over in the "Drama" thread.

VT-27 is the first squadron at NGP. Taking a look at their flight schedule for the last few days, it appears all T-6 flight are IP VFR/IFR proficiency flights. I'll let someone else chime in for the exact timeline.

Check this out...http://kfor.com/2013/05/20/interactive-map-1999-2003-2013-moore-tornadoes/ I was there for the red one (May 99). It was headed straight for us and turned North. The 2003 blue one was close too. Most likely a billion + $ if it crosses the E-6/E-3 ramps with enough assets...

FedEx counts it as heavy jet time which gets you extra points in their application scoring system. Don't knock it...I see plenty of E-6/KC-135 dudes around at work. We chatted about it in my panel interview which was conducted by two retired FedEx pilots who both flew 707s for the USAF before...

That is about what I used to tell my students about my E-6 tour. You may not get to do some really cool stuff but the balance of that is you don't have to do most of the really shitty stuff either. "The highs aren't as high but the lows aren't as low." Kinda like when people wondered how I...

Interesting... This is a what are my chances question in disguise. I'll ask you this way... Would you like to weigh your chance of being looked at again against the 50% chance the couple will stay married? 10+ years from now when your first commitment is up you won't care about that wedding...

Funny thing here that y'all may not grasp is in the 121 world, many times the logbook measuring contest is reversed. My example: I flew only 20.2 hours the last two months and still got a full two months pay albeit at 1st year pay. Sent from my iPad in my Crashpad where I got paid for 4.75...

Tough post to write. Thanks for sharing. FWIW, and others should take note if they feel the same way, you refer to what you did as "work" and a "job." That is very telling. I admit the grind could suck at times but I bet most here never really called it work as people in other professions...

CMC- "Hey there Ensign Hookedonkristy you might want to rethink that approach. I don't think the CO and XO like it done that way."

Great question...poor search skills. http://www.airwarriors.com/community/index.php?threads/Sequester.40345/ Sent from my iPad in my Crashpad.

I am pretty sure you can still apply for FTS with a letter of resignation in the system. Your squadron RDH can help you get started so talk to them. The SELRES package is a different path. Your RDH, with word from the Wing OSO, should know when the next board is being conducted. They both can...

Keep in mind that as soon as you make O-5 you will need an over grade waiver so being junior extends your life in the VTs. If there is a line of guys trying to get in, over grade waivers are scrutinized pretty heavily. The length if that line is determined by the market, specifically the airline...
