Literally living in a different house then his wife for two years. yup the mil doesn't recognize status: separated, even with court documents. though somewhere in the ucmj or mcm it says that at sentencing it should be taken into consideration, or something. idk I've been out for a long time e: for disciplinary poo poo, anyway. I'm sure they wouldn't hesitate to take BAH/FSA away

nwin posted:Heh I’m only eligible to stay in until 20-I can see that I worded that kinda hosed up. I was selected for lcdr so i lm guaranteed retirement now. I’ve still got 5.5 years left. Imo do the math on whether it’s more worth it to buy back your service once you pin on / and go for long civ career (because it’s not hard to hit 15 or even SES w/ an o career behind you) vice retiring if you have good prospects civil service wise. It’s not always a straightforward answer because you lose some poo poo if you take the retirement upfront. 15 years is a little late to make that call but at the same time if you’re shooting for gs15 or higher as the ending state of your career you’re in it for the long game

nwin posted:I’m going to do the 20 and get the pension/insurance. That’s not even a question at this point. The main thing will be if I stay in past 20. Kids will be 7 and 5 when I hit 20 and I’d like to not move them around a ton, but I should have just gotten looked at for CDR, so if I make that it could definitely be worth sticking around for another 3 years. I’d be completely fine shutting my brain off and getting a 13 position somewhere for a while after that. Oh yeah I forgot you had kids. That changes the math p significantly on its own. Glad you’re still making it

nwin posted:Thanks man-what are you doing now? Program / avail / financial management stuff. I also for some reason spaced that you had commissioned at first which is another thing that changes the math on that a lot. Imo for the passive audience if you’re at 10ish years (enlisted)and hating your life it’s worth considering jumping ship now if you have a good shot at starting around the 11/12 range. Leave works different if you retire from the mil and it’s gonna be a real slap on the balls/vulva if you get out and only earn 1 day/month for the first three years, and buyback for creditable service works differently for retirees too
