Agree with all. Nicely said.

That's crazy. I'm use to the mock/award being different, but not this drastically.

Yeah mine was a major difference. Lost all the days off I had asked more. Mock gave em all to me, final gave me none. Oh well.

Mock should be renamed to false hope

Yeah, you signed up for a paying job. Getting drafted is a forced job. Doesn't surprise me, you've got the military hot shot attitude that I would expect a hotshot fighter guy to have.

(I'm not disrespecting the military, but the idea that you think you're owed respect just because you signed up, is flawed)

Mine went the other way, 11 to 14. It seems like the mock is great for predicting what you won't get.

Honestly, your ignorance is baffling. If you haven't served, then don't bother commenting about it. You just don't know and it shows. Stop watching the movies and thinking it's real, ok?

(and you are disrespecting the military by talking out of your ass.)

Newbie question.

I went to drop a reserve day and it now says

24 APR FLG 0001 2400 TCRD 0000

Next to my schedule. What does the FLG mean?

"Flag". It's just an indicator for crew pay to look at that day and deduct it from your pay.

It's a reminder to use the "L" when you say our call sign.
