A helpful user PM'd me an important consideration I wanted to share -- if you're a military retiree like me you probably won't be able to hit your 2% AGI which makes the entire per diem calculation process (along with tips, uniforms and other expenses) a waste of time and money.
Any other retirees have different results?
EDIT: and in my case for 2015, half the year on probation so didn't pay dues on half my DAL earnings.
