The Army has acknowledged receipt of my retirement packet and may process it in the next 90 - 120 business days. When you factor in all the federal holidays, and the training holidays, might get paid by October?

Six Nations: England pluck victory from chaos against France
It was a finale that defied logic and order, but, for the first time in a long time, England found a way through the final-quarter maelstrom to victory.

My youngest finished the classroom portion of his driver's training. Now we need to schedule his learner's test so he can get his permit.
I did all my son's driving training for his. I really enjoyed it, including a long road trip. About two weeks before his test we drove down to the DMV (about six miles away) and discovered where they give the parking portion of the test. We drove down about 5 or 6 times, doing the profile each time. Took his drivers test in a stick shift F150. Passed no problem. Now his daily driver is a 6 speed Mustang. Save the manual!

Took my last daughter on a Sunday to the small town where the actual official state run license office, not the private run state offices, was located and did the drive around, practiced angle parking and back out, and practiced parallel parking. The next day we went for the test and she merely had to drive around the town, after successfully backing out of the diagonal spot onto main street traffic, and watching for one way street turns. No parallel parking which had worried her.
One the way home I told my daughter of a time when I encountered a friend, who ran a driving school, in the State Police office where the driving tests were done long before. After my friend told me he was there for a student's test, I saw through the window behind him, a car back into a passing State Police car. I asked, "Was that her who just backed into a police car?" His comment was, "You're not going to trick me into looking." It was her.

I went through that almost a couple of years ago. When I started researching it, I was told to start submitting paperwork about 6months out. Then they changed the webpage and I had to start all over again. Did finally get it almost three months later, but they did include all back pay dating back to my 60th birthday. If you seem stuck, call them.

The hardest part was getting a hold of the DD 108. The online forms library just had a placeholder file. The RSO at Ft McCoy never answered his phone or email. I finally got hooked up by the family readiness team of my son's Guard unit.

Yea I noticed the Guard and Reserve units took better care of their people than active duty. Maybe those on active were too busy getting a sex change operation to care?

If they hadn't moved the Reserve HQ to Ft McCoy from Ft Snelling, I could have just popped in and maybe gotten some help. Hope I filled everything out correctly.

Musk is going to replace all those career pen pushers with Brand X Abysmal Intelligence computers so I hope that yours is quickly processed by a human

If that guy gets his way, most of the world will be unemployed. He'll be alright though, he will be one of the few who has money.

It is not in the intrest of modern goverment (at least where I am now) to answer any question quickly. The only reason for lots of pen pushers is to make a dence black un cooperative cloud in wich one will desolve when needing anything out of said cloud.
Now commercialy....
AI will be trained to get the most... most profitable answer for the ones that has it on its payroll.
Even if you do not agree with an outcome it is trained to stall you indefinitely.
Getting a lawyer will not have benifits anymore. That is a breed that is now of dinosaurian value. It will be replaced.
Next fase is taking in account all your doctor visits an all you purchases by credit card or or any electronic device and look for possible correlation. Of course that could have nothing to do with you...but well AI...
It will be a cold day in hell before you get that one reversed.
No I am not any longer a big fan of these AI things.

Not sure if I should be posting this in the "What cheered me up or What Annoyed me" thread.
Been looking for new Venison recipes and found one that looked good, chicken fried venison with garlic smashed potatoes and gravy. Looks tasty, but recipe calls for 3 eggs, now where in the heck am I gonna get three eggs and also find a part time job to help pay for them... Donations anyone?
