Do they calculate it in this case by just going back to when he picked up colonel and going back 3 years from then? If that's the case and he picked up O-6 let's say 10 years ago he's probably pulling in around 4500 a month or so in pension.

To answer your question he gets his highest three years of paygrade that he last honorably served at, and not based on current pay tables but the payables at the time of his honorable service at whatever grade they retire his rear end at. In essence he gets to retire but everything after three years of LtCol didn't count. His % is locked in, assuming he didn't take the redux or join long enough ago that he's under the old retirement system from the 80's. Possible considering his rank.

I was basing my 4500 off of 75% of O5 pay in 2004. Thanks for the clarification!

Snowdens Secret posted:So were the other times consensual and she only had headaches twice, or did the good general manage to have a three year affair and only get two beejays? The fact that he only got convicted of adultery and inappropriate relationships (as opposed to an actual sex crime like the assault and forcible sodomy charges he was originally facing) and will thus avoid any jail time is because the prosecution's case collapsed after it became known that their star witness (said female Captain) had issues with telling the truth under oath (i.e. she basically perjured herself). Incidentally the lead prosecutor actually stepped down from the case over his belief that the star witness was getting away with perjury.

I'm not going to argue that the elite aren't lining their pockets, but they are spending significant sums in diversifying [re: developing] their economies. After oil runs out, numerous countries still have significant natural gas and mineral reserves to exploit (qatar, bahrain, saudi arabia, uae, etc.) Saudi Development:
UAE:
Afghanistan also has a shitload of untapped mineral wealth and natural gas reserves, though I doubt we'll ever get to extract them: http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-war-is-worth-waging-afghanistan-s-vast-reserves-of-minerals-and-natural-gas/19769 There's also that thing where nato has, and will always have, numerous bases in the middle east. So yes, most middle eastern countries are actively developing their countries & economies. And it's not going to become some backwater due to the inevitable loss of oil.

You just posted a bunch of the bullshit empty cities that are for nothing but dickwaving and were built basically by slaves. Jebal Ali is only as big as it is because of the oil shipping and US navy uses. Once the oil demand dries up everything is leaving that godforsaken place. There is absolutely no reason for any ship to pull into the gulf that isn't oil related.

I guess I just assume when someone says oil it includes gas because the oil & gas industry is basically one entity imo so the natural gas infrastructure mentioned is basically saying "yeah they invest in infrastructure, they build oil wells!!!" heh

Not to mention that something like 75% of new private sector jobs are taken by cheap foreign labor anyway. The primary requirement for any Saudi getting a decent job in the private sector is having some kind of connection to the royal family. It's estimated that roughly a third of the youth and women in Saudi Arabia are unemployed but there's no way to know for sure because it's taboo in Saudi Arabia to talk about it. Fixing the unemployment of women in the country is particularly difficult because of how backward the country is, god forbid a woman and a man that aren't related interact with each other. Women can't even drive in Saudi Arabia! Oil is 95% of their exports and 70% of government revenue, it's not going to be easy to pacify the populace with welfare packages once the oil dries out, especially with an estimated 50-60% of the population under the age of 25.

A not insignificant part of me hopes that MERS was a covert biological attack by the U.S. and we're all secretly innoculated ahead of time. I could give a gently caress how much those unevolved savages pay to upgrade the infrastructure of dirt and dust city, I want to see the entirety of their people and the history of their culture wiped from not just the earth but even our most distant memories into the future. gently caress that entire region, and it's people. Anyone who loving defends the middle east, it's people, or it's rich culture of peace and love deserves to be executed under Sharia law. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The only thing an Arab understands is a boot on it's neck and an M-4 pointed at it's phrenologically odd dome. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

you've lead me to google stuff about Dubai's poo poo problem and apparently Oman also has the same problem. At one point parts of streets, parking lots and parks in Dubai were flooded with sewage and they hired cheap chinese labor to clean the streets. In addition to trucking it out to the desert they also dump it into the storm drains so the coast of Dubai is literally full of poo poo. Wonder how many diseases you would catch if you fell into that.

Counterpoint almost every coastal country does this, it's pretty much a given when pulling into a foreign port that the port itself will be a disgusting cesspool. I've heard the worst offenders are in Asia but even the Euros (at least Italians and French) do it.

The russians just pumped CHT directly into the water in Vladivostok when we pulled in there. We paid to have a CHT barge pull alongside us. We pumped our poo poo to them and they dumped it directly into the water. We were med moored and had a line across to the next ship and one over to a buoy. Pulling those lines in was loving disgusting.

This doesn't feel like a bluff, they're literally sending tanks and other weapons. I think Putin can smell weakness and knows he'll get away with minor sanctions to separatist leaders. I mean Crimea is basically theirs now they barely mention it. The whole debate right now is over the Eastern territories.

The eastern territories that the separatists are failing to keep control over as the army has been able to get a modicum of it's poo poo together. Kiev now controls most relevant border crossings and strategic positions. The separatists hold a bunch of symbolic government buildings. Local civilians have gone from confronting the army to mostly hiding in basements or leaving the cities until the fighting is over, willingness to play human shields seemingly greatly diminished. The separatists also just don't have enough Russian help to cope with the army air and armour. All in all Kiev is winning this one, unless Russia gets involved for real. President Willy Wonka seems quite certain he has this in the bag, judging from the peace proposal. And I don't think more Russian saber rattling is enough to change facts on the ground. Sending arms and advisers does not seem to have been enough, and with the separatists losing control over most the border crossings I don't think they will be able to send enough to turn any tides. Crimea is still lost though, and noone is going to help them get it back. Courthouse fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Jun 21, 2014 |

Good news guys, the VA is doing great: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/21/u...tw-nytimes&_r=0 quote:All of the 470 senior executives at the Department of Veterans Affairs received annual ratings over the last four years indicating that they were “fully successful” in their jobs or even better, according to data released at a congressional hearing on Friday, despite delays in processing disability compensation claims and problems with veterans’ access to the department’s sprawling health care system. And I absolutely adore this excuse: quote:The data also showed that in 2013, nearly 80 percent of the senior executives were rated either “outstanding” or as having exceeded “fully successful” in their job performance, and that at least 65 percent of the executives received performance awards, which averaged around $9,000. Only about 20 percent received the middle of the five ratings. The VA 2014: We're Not Any More hosed Than The Rest Of This Circus
