Not to worry, Travis will not be joining the supply world.

Yeah, I got the email. I talked to the doc I was seeing back in Jax and he said that it may be possible to get me straightened some, but it would take a while. I'm not sure if I want to sit around here for 3 or 4 extra months, maybe longer, waiting for them to possibly fix me. In the...

Hell yeah, get down here to Pensacola and do cool **** like stand candy watch.

What's up with that? Why can't it be "we service members try to help each other out"? I see how it is.

So far, muster at 0730, back in the rack by 0800. It's rough. I'm doing BOLTC this week, playing golf next week, NOMI and prt/swim screen the last week of March and hopefully classing up the first or second week of April.

Come on Casey, you gotta keep your ass in shape. Now you're ruining it for everyone.

awww, somebody don't like us rednecks. I agree with Paddle, being here is like being one step closer.

I guess I should have phrased it differently. What I meant was that if you have movers move 600 lbs, then anything you put in your car, you won't be reimbursed for. Peanut is correct.

No, the stuff in your car doesn't have to count against it, but you won't be reimbursed for that stuff. That 600 lbs is it total.

I called the detailer this morning and he cut me an ordmod. The PN's got it 2 hours later and gave it to me during the indoc. So now I'll stay in the transient Q till next Friday and if no permanent Q rooms open up, then I'll get per diem to live at the Navy Lodge.

free dla money, riiiight. Tell the Dink or whoever it is that supposedly knows me from the fleet that I said hi.

It's not about collecting per diem schmuck, it's about finding a place for my ass to sleep while I'm here without having to go too deep into my own pockets. This could also be fixed if I could find someone who will rent me a room for 6 months in exchange for that $1500 dla I collected just in...

Dammit, squorch, don't be so negative. I'm gonna research the damn accounting codes tonight. If there's a loophole, I'll find it. This is bull****.

Checked in today and these guys are really pissing me off. There's a blurb in my orders that changes my accounting code from 341 to 342 which voids the per diem line of accounting data. All Q's are full and they're telling me that because of that blurb, I'm also not eligible for per diem. So...

She's retarded. Where you are transferring from does matter, but not in your case. As a single guy you are entitled to move 600 lbs at govt expense to Pensacola and the rest can be sent to your duty station for Primary after you complete API.

If you have no dependents, then you are not entitled to any type of government family housing. Even if you were entitled, only dependents can live there with you. The BOQ is full by most accounts, so you should be able to draw BAH to live in town. By the way, I assume from your user name that...

Single people collecting Per Diem and BAH at the same time is wrong and it will eventually catch up to them. This deal with BDCP and OCS guys collecting it sounds wrong too. I'd say that either someone doesn't have their facts straight or these guys were somehow entitled to it and tipped off...

Don't be too smug about it. You don't want him charging you for the stupidest crap when it's time to get that security deposit back.

140 days is the cutoff for TDY. Lets say you hit the 120 day mark (20 days left) but you still have 4 weeks of school. They will recompute and say "he has another 48 days left, which is less than 140, so he can continue to get per diem. That's how guys can go longer than 140 days and still...

If your buddies had orders to just API with no follow on, and they got a full household goods move, then someone at the household goods office wasn't paying attention to what they were doing. They should not have gotten a full move with orders to just API.

If I remember correctly, you can have the rest of your stuff put in storage and then the movers can just pack it up and ship it to you after you receive your follow on orders without having to fly back.

It's not that they won't move you. They won't move 10,000 lbs (or whatever the O1 entitlement is) to a location where you will be (supposedly) for only 6 weeks. Therefore, you're limited to moving only 600 lbs. Now if you have follow on orders, then you can move x,000 lbs to your ultimate...

That's correct. The other ensigns you speak of were probably married with follow on orders to primary, or they were single and managed to get follow on orders.

The thing is that per diem is only for tdy less than 140 days. Even though we all know that API will take longer than 140 days, my orders state that it's only 139. But once I get to Primary, I'll no longer be eligible for per diem, which is also why you can't get it in Corpus. I can't get bah...

Well, I'm with the 04 group so we should all class up by May, so I really only need a place for 6 months for API. I talked to a guy at PSD who confirmed that I will get per diem during API if there's no room at the BOQ, so I feel better. My deal was that someone said that they figured out a...

I think that actually sounds better than doing it in a pool, unless the tide is going out.

Things keep getting better and better. Now Corry Station says they don't give rooms to geo bachelors, I have to go to Whiting Field. I called Whiting Field and they said they have no geo bach rooms, and when they do, it's 3 people to a room with a shared bathroom down the hall.

I think I'm just gonna buy a pop up camper and live in the parking lot. I'm so tired of worrying about this damn housing deal.

Bachelor housing considers itself full at 80%, so if you call them at that point, they will tell you that they are full. I figure if I post the question, then I can hear from someone there something like "there's a few empty rooms around me" or "my class just graduated and there should be 20...

I guess I'll suck it up and stay at the BEQ in Corry till Primary, then move to Whiting.

It figures. You sure they said BEQ and not BOQ? And how far is Corry Station? I went ahead and drew DLA so I'd have cash to find a place in case there was no room at the BOQ, I guess I may go ahead and use it.

Does anyone know how full the BOQs at Pcola and Whiting are? I'll be checking in next Wednesday or Thursday and I'd like to get an idea of what to expect.

Cuz everyone knows that R can be a eal pain in the ass to put on those patches.

They're supposed to cut about 80 of us 04 guys by raising the NSS, I wonder what's going to happen if we all cut a 42.5.

I met a stripper a few nights ago whose dad is an AF Major General. She's gonna write me a letter of recommendation to get hornets.

Here's how it works, for me anyhow. It depends on how your orders are cut. My orders state that API is 139 days. Since it's less than 140 days, API is not considered a PDS (Permanent Duty Station). When you report geo bachelor to a non-PDS location for temdu and there's no govt quarters...

And who exactly are you saying is wrong?

No you don't get per diem cuz there's govt quarters and govt mess available. If not, you get BAH. If you're geo bach, and there's no govt quarters, you are entitled to per diem but someone says they've found a way to screw you out of it. But that's the only way you'll get per diem. I'm a...

Well my puppy can kick your puppy's ass.

I have a better idea, you guys get some of those "Hello, my name is" stickers and write your username on them. Then you can all mingle while drinking cool aid and eating chips ahoy.

I graduated last May and I have absolutely no desire to remain stashed in Jax any longer. It's hard to explain, but if I were in Pensacola, there would be the feeling of being THERE, and I'd be one step closer to classing up. Since I'm 04, I should class up by May. You'll understand once you...

It's only fair. Same thing goes for Icewoman, her ass should definitely still be here. Mainly cuz I'm lonely at the unit now.

Scamminhard, you shouldn't be allowed to report in May. You should have to do the one year stash deal like I had to do. Reporting the 1st week of March, woohoo!

The way I understand it, normally an SNA doesn't class up for API until there's space in Primary (so how Primary gets backed up I have no idea). Right now, Primary IS backed up, and they plan on classing up all the 04 guys by May which will back Primary up even more, so my guess is that the 05...

Milpersman 1320-200. Find your situation and it will reference the appropriate JFTR section, although NFO's may be different since you guys stay in Pensacola.

If you decide to go unaccompanied and stay in the BOQ you will receive BAH at the rate of your dependent's location and the BOQ should be no cost to you. Even if Pensacola loses its CHA status, you can still request to get BAH based on your dependent's location. If the BOQ is full, then by the...

IceMan says you don't even have the fetch beer trick down, how do you plan to teach it to the puppy?

For both lifting and running, pretty much anything by Slipknot and Disturbed.

Normandy and Chafee area on the westside has several new subdivisions going up and it's only about 20 min from NAS Jax. The houses are much cheaper than you'll find in Argyle, OP and Southside and values will jump over the next few years once all the construction is complete. For example, I...

The SNA's reporting March should be Spring 04 grads and the ones reporting May should be Fall 04 grads.
