Everyone I’ve asked, from both DMVs, multiple insurance carriers and multiple service members has a different answer so I figure I’ll add to the confusion and get Reddit to weigh in as well!

We are CT residents with CT registered vehicles and CT auto insurance. We are PCSing form DC (who doesn’t care where your car is registered/insured, as long as you are following the registering states rules) to VA. CT will not allow us to have CT tags without a CT insurance policy.

We don’t want to re register our cars - while there are exemptions for military against personal property tax, I’ve heard that VA will do their hardest to make the process so difficult that people just pay. Additionally, VA wants all jointly owned cars to be registered in VA unless we are both active duty.

Do just bite the bullet and register in VA? Our home owners insurance broker says we have to reregister but our current carrier (USAA) says to just keep it all in CT.

Hello everyone. I'm on my first contract and starting college. I really enjoy my rate, however I've been interested in commissioning down the line and feel called to chaplaincy. I'm aware of the requirements: having an MDiv, 2 years of pastoral experience, and an endorsement from a religious organization. I was just wondering if this is feasible while still on active duty? It seems most chaplains I've met did all this either after getting out or before joining all together. I'd imagine I'd have to do all this type of stuff while on shore duty.

I've been at my squadron for about 5 months now, spent the first bit TAD. While there I was still working on my qualifications, and since getting back to my parent command I've hit the ground running. I'm nearly fully qualified at my rank after only a couple of months, and I'm considered exceptionally competent, over some of the second and third classes in my workcenter.

My LPO has mentioned how it's "too bad we have to wait to make you a third class", because we need more CDIs and over half of our current qualified personnel will be leaving in the spring.

Problem is that my eval when I first got here was an NOB, and by the time I get my eval next year I'll only be a month away from getting it from TIS anyway.

I feel like I'm just going to be sitting around waiting to make any progress for almost a year before I can get anywhere. My LPO wouldn't even let me work on my wings because I need an EP to start working on them as an E3.

So my question is how would the BBA system affect me in taking rank. I’m an FC about to be frocked 3rd class assigned to a third class billet. Am I able to promote to second within my first contract? I’ve tried to read instruction to find an answer but I’m having issues. Thanks in advance.

Inspired by a post I saw the other day stating you can play Pokémon Go around the world. I'll go first, saw this at a local game store a couple months ago.

Some of mine are:

been to Guantanamo bay

been through the Panama Canal

crossed the arctic circle and equator on a ship

seen the stars from the ocean on a cloudless, moonless night while the ship had all exterior lights off for stealth

I’d love to hear yours

Is anybody enrolled or have sent experience with this program? I’ll likely be nominated by my provider soon, is been a discussion since I was placed on limdu and I’m looking for some information mainly how it works when being placed in a billet. I know I’ll be placed in gapped shore billets but do I have any say in where I go? If there’s multiple billets open will I be able to choose?
