When I get my raptor I was thinking about getting one of those tool storage cases that go in the bed to use as a trunk.

I'm thinking about getting an older 4x4 and a bed shell to camp in for kayaking / hiking / snowboarding. My current pos 01 Silverado doesn't do very well on icy Colorado roads

There is a palpable tension in the room as I check my phone for the third time this minute, hoping the inch of snow we just got is enough to keep me home tomorrow, or at least give me an extra two hours of sleep. So far, only disappointment.

My boats financial counselor was a guy with a gambling problem, the Dapa was a guy with a drinking problem, and this leads me to believe the guy in charge of sapr was a rapist.

I think the requirement is for CMEOs to be black lovely Chiefs, helps if they're the president of the "I'm awesome" club. Our DAPA is definitely a drunk. He doesn't seem to have a problem though. Actually he's REALLY good at it. Helps that CMC is a sexist drunk, too.

On a different note does it make sense to keep contributing to TSP if I plan on separating in 3 years? The expense ratio in TSP is the best deal out there but I won't be able to make contributions after getting out.

Yes it makes sense to keep contributing until you can't.

I use Vanguard, the ratios are only beaten by TSP.

I was gonna look up how it worked but since I re-upped recently I put it off in regards to Roth TSP. After someone gets out, is it better to just let it sit in and accrue interest or can you transfer the money to your civilian Roth account? Since I technically paid the tax up front by paying in to it, I shouldn't get taxed if/when I transfer, right?

TSP deposits are actually pre-tax IIRC. If you transfer it there is no tax either. It's only upon withdrawal that you are taxed. I did the retard thing and withdrew mine instead of rolling it into my 401k and took a decent tax hit but then again I have nice new floors.

It was about 2-3 years ago they started offering Roth TSP in addition to traditional TSP. Roth contributions get taxed at what you put in but everything you make over the life of the account is tax free- or so the liberals say, things may change when I reach retirement age.

Also, not sure if this has been covered but they named a LCS after Gabby Giffords and it's due to hit the water soon. Anyone else see the irony in naming a warship after someone who is anti-gun and part of a party that is generally anti-DOD spending?

Well they're doing it to send a message to all the young idiots. I don't think you're quite in the target demographic. You're probably pretty close to the same age as the guy that's conducting the mast.

Frat, but our CO and the base CO counted it as rape since she was super drunk even though they had started before they had been drinking. People just kept jumping in and some people went to Mast simply because they didn't stop it. Oh hotel parties. I think she was engaged too and her husband to be was a reservist off in bumfuck wherever the hell she was from.

Okay, so my kid beat up a little racist kid at school. His folks went to security (not mad - i would have too.) We got called in by CID for his pre-CAF interview where they mirandized him (like, no poo poo, same words) and had him initial each line item. (Standard Navy.) He's a teenager. In 8th grade. But when they said "lawyer," I said "Yup, that." Because last time we went to CAF, a bunch of punk kids used him as a scapegoat and I aint haven' that again. Only problem is that I can't find a lawyer. Because we're on base. And all of the legal beagles say "We don't do CAF hearings, that's not a legal thing." But CID said "You have the right to an attorney and if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you." This is not CA, I can't look in the phone book for Saul.

So my question is, now what? Did they gently caress up? They've been really quiet, and I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I don't have time to wait for this BS. My kid got his 10 day suspension (the other kid was fine, BTW, just got his pride hurt and probably won't use the N-word again) and we made him write a paper and do a PPT. Do I just keep waiting for a lawyer to be appointed? Or should I just say gently caress it and let him talk? (This seems like a terrible idea to me. Kid had it coming to him and lots of other parents have messaged me and told me so but that doesn't make it right and it doesn't mean my son won't say as much.)

Everyone else, sorry for :words:
