GetRealDude, spot on.
The lack of real time trip trading after 4 years of negotiations was IMO the second biggest failure, after Retirement, in this contract.
The only way I can rationalize it not being a showstopper for the majority is that we have such a large percentage of military guys who have never worked under RTTT and the amazing QOL it affords.
Working under fully transparent RTTT changes everything, for junior and senior alike. These trip trades taking any more than what should be at most a few minutes, combined with the insufficient reserves and earlier time stamp nonsense are here for another decade. It sucks.
