I hadn't heard of an hourly/fee based financial planner, but it sounds like a good idea (especially if you're reasonably financially savvy, and want to manage your own investments at a lower expense fee/commission). Just curious what the range of rates would be for that service?

I'm pretty sure every German that could (civilian and military), sought to end up on Allied controlled ground when the music stopped. There's probably a reason the USSR "anti-war" film never caught on in the States. 🤔

The ❤️ will go on.

Big secondary explosions going on aboard a Russian amphib in a Crimean port. Maybe not of the greatest significance, but combined with UKR downing 5 top line RUS jets in the last few days, it seems like something. All of that to say, military aid to UKR is a no-brainer. Huge ROI for defense...

They all live off the departure end of MCAS Kaneohe Bay's RWY 04...😄 Just kidding, I have no insight into P-8 duty locations, but I'm sure others on here do.

It was reported that yesterday UKR air defenses shot down another Su-34, as well as a Su-30SM. Maybe it's high time they op-check the Su-57 against UKR western air defense systems. Merry Christmas and Slava Ukraini.

No one who really needs the functionality of a truck would buy this turd. I guess it will be a status symbol for some. But it's still fucking ugly.☺️

From a marketing perspective, I honestly don’t know who this truck will appeal to.

Maybe he violated the Russian 1-hr bottle to stunt rule? I'm sure the mishap board will get to the bottom of it.

Yep...They'll probably lose a few more, before they change their TTP's in response. I mean this is how they run a town Christmas celebration...😅

Looks like a bad day for the Russian AF, as Ukraine says it shot down 3 Su-34's today in the south, reportedly by Patriots. 🤟

That's really saying something, seeing as how Dr. Seb Gorka, the Dragon of Budapest, and former Marine Corps University adjunct professor (wut?), made it onto the WH staff. ☺️

I don't know anything about this dude, but in light of his op-ed referencing his own works, I'm amazed how this circuit works. https://www.cnas.org/people/dr-jerry-hendrix I'd give more cred to the Admiral selling mortgages for NewDay. At least he doesn't have to puff up his resume to...

DFAC threadjack. A buddy of mine while on deployment in Djibouti, relays that he shows up for a special Thanksgiving meal. As he and his group enter the DFAC, they are greeted by all of the TCN's from southwest Asia in formation dressed in shitty Pilgrim and Indian costumes. They all slowly...

I saw that report today about Fat Leonard being exchanged. I had either forgotten, or never knew, that after cutting his ankle bracelet in SD and hopping into Mexico, that he made it to Cuba and then Venezuela, with ultimate goal of making it to Russia. Oh well...glad he'll serve out his...

Lol. You're the one advertising your training and credentials in CAS/ROE/International Law. I ask again, what degree did you get at NPS?

What was your degree in?

No

Please stop. Nobody gives a shit that you went to NPS.

I mean she was obviously an expert on the rifle and pistol. That's all I'm trying to convey. Way more interesting to me. 😆

Let's all be honest,, we didn't watch JAG for Harmon Rabb's dual aviator/lawyer skills. 😁

I guess the Senate just voted to give them back pay, which is just, I think. And yet 2 years after I retired, I received word from DFAS that ~$800 was going to be garnished from my pay bc of a TAD trip just prior to retirement. The DTS submission was approved at all the byzantine levels of...

This debate reminds me of that scene from Braveheart: Phillip: "i am skilled in the arts of war and military tactics, Sire"

I agree with the prior post, and associate myself with his disclaimers. Most flight docs mean well, but when you realize they are just chuckleheads straight out of med school not having done their residency, then you can proceed accordingly. Especially, when they are advising you how to stay...

Active-duty fat fucks take priority though.?

Great job Canada! Sounds like she went to the same school as @Mirage

My old man was from Southern Indiana, and Falls City was the gold standard of the 60's and 70's in that area, I believe...I think it was the first beer I tasted as a youngster, when asking dad for a sip of his beer, and then making a face like I just bit into a lemon ?. The Falls City brand has...

I like to think I'm well traveled and somewhat worldly, but I can honestly say I've never heard of HAMMS beer. You learn something new on this site everyday. ?

Sergei, disgusted at the options the detailer is providing (Moskva Air LNO?), drops resignation papers in 2021, to return to a life of rustic Beet farming, and banging his stout/sturdy wife...unaware of his IRR commitment. It's now 2023, and Sergei is recalled from the IRR rolls to lead a...

To add on to the fan fiction, Sergei dreams of closing out his career with a FAO tour to Tajikistan. However, his asshole detailer in Moscow has continually extended his PRD/SEDD, and consigned him to a life of ass-puckering waveoffs to the coal-powered Admiral Kuznetsov carrier. With the FAO...

Is that bad? It looks bad...? To tie this back with Navy detailing discussions, that dude in the cockpit is probably a 55 year old pot belly Russian alcoholic O-3 who was not on the golden path. ?

@Griz882 This is incredibly sublime. BZ!

This an interesting article about how some of the dynamics of NIL are playing out in NCAA football. The fact that donors get some tax benefits is disgusting. This needs to be looked into. I guess I'm somewhat torn on the issue. The athletes should be able to capitalize on their NIL regardless...

I did too, but he's still holding on to those 11. I'm assuming the Senate will pass that rule change soon, to finally put this to bed.

And now so he can't admit total defeat, he remains a petulant dick by keeping holds on around 11 4-stars. How long is he planning on keeping up with this stupid charade?

I honestly need to know if these "student athletes", as the NCAA makes sure we know they are scholars first ?...are they properly reporting NIL money to the IRS? Do they get W-2's or some equivalent? Guessing probably not. Hell, I've heard there is NIL money in the HS ranks now. Who the fuck...

Put your markers down now. Texas vs Michigan in finals. Texas wins the title. If I'm wrong, my penance will be 3 replies to random OCS board threads. ? I dare anyone to be bold in their predictions, and accept the challenge.

You're most likely correct. Objectively though, you've got 3 undefeated P5 conf champs, and two 1-loss conf champs (with UT beating Bama head-to-head). I think if Bama gets in, it's just a nod to the SEC's past dominance, which IMO diminishes the importance of conf championships and...

I'd vote for FSU getting in, instead of Bama. Mainly bc I think Saban is a dick, and I can't stand his AFLAC commercials. ?

CFP prediction 1) UW or UM 2) UW or UM 3) Texas 4) Bama or FSU I'm guesssing #4 will be the controversial pick if FSU squeaks by tonight with their 3rd string QB. We'll see if the committee kowtows to the SEC or not.

Not sure where you're getting that understanding from. Never heard about turbulence wreaking havoc on spines Others can chime in, but my airframe had stroking seats to absorb some of the force from a "hard landing", same for pax seats in the cabin. I'm guessing -60's have similar seats (could...

Speaking of meltdowns. This is from yesterday, while his X CEO sits in the front row updating her resume. I guess he doesn't care, but he's increasingly lighting his $44B buyout of Twitter on fire. It's hard to believe that this guy has any role to play in our national security.

Over that timeframe, he may emerge from hibernation to learn that we are now watering crops with Brawndo though...(it's got what plants crave!)

You're telling me the guy who lit $25B on fire with his purchase of Twitter, is currently on a reputation enhancement tour in Israel after posting antisemitic conspiracy theories, and who today revived the Q-Anon Pizzagate conspiracy....that we can't take him on the level? ?

We'll know when they show off the satellite's amazing 360 panoramic street view capabilities.

You can't do that with a frozen Butterball. Maybe with a $90 turkey though.

Fairly sure the Oregon Fish and Wildlife guy didn't do a proper ORM analysis on that one. ?

If the cranes don't work, maybe this? ?
