Never mind the variables on exemptions, marital status, training location, etc. Nahhhh, I'm sure the take home figure will be accurate down to the penny - what was I thinking??



Good motto. Part of being smart is not wasting time only to end up with a questionable result. Using this message board in lieu of the other many resources he has available isn't "working smart", IMO. In this case, using the military pay professionals at his Guard unit or via telephone at the base he will be attending UPT is probably the "smartest" way to get a real answer.
You're right... I would never stoop to asking a question on an internet forum for fear of getting a bad answer.

I would especially not ask questions like this:

From what I can see on the ALPA website, it's just walk up to the gate and fill out a form. Any requirement to list via phone? Any and all gouge would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

IGONO 1W arrival into ZGGG. Basically it's a straight shot from an IAF to a point on downwind arriving from the northeast. Left turn to base and then pick up the ILS 02L from there.
Or about something as important as vacation...

3 days of carryover from Jan into Feb.

If I bid a line that has 2 trips. A 40 hour trip in conflict w/ my carryover and a 25 hour trip in conflict w/ my vacation - How does this play out regarding pay/make-up, etc.
...You're right... anyone who turns to the internet forums for answers is CRAZY...

(all in good fun, Adler)
