I talked to a former Navy guy who said he hadn't checked his TSP account in years and thought it must have grown significantly by now; then he told me he had put everything in the G fund.

Can you mess with funding allocation after you separate or is it completely hands-off?

You can do everything you could before except contribute.

Do you really need an all wheel drive for any of those places? I can get Seattle or Oregon, but you won’t be driving much in NYC and the other places I wouldn’t think so. The new foresters get decent gas mileage, but then you have to worry about rotating the tires all the time and everything else that comes with AWD.

I do not really need a newer car now and since i am debt free the smart thing would be to keep saving that money.

but unlike you im an officier and i have a reputation to keep, sir.

It's not terribly difficult when you have a nursing background and E.R/Flight nursing experience.

But yeah, give this to some kid outta high school who's barely old enough to drink and has no experience and it's the proverbial "drinking water from a fire hose".

They're poo poo the literal second there's snow or ice, and they're inferior to winter tyres in every single aspect under freezing conditions, even without snow or ice.

I don't mean for it to sound condescending, but the whole "truly extreme environments" angle is part of what boggles my mind so much, because that's exactly the cultural norm, when it should read "any environment that has recurring winter conditions (by temperature) and sees snow or ice".

Which applies to a fuckton of the continental US.

Also the reason that Canadian highways get loving stupid when there's snowfall, Joe Canuck in his F-150 4X4 screaming "I DON'T NEED SNOW TIRES" while doing 120 in the left lane only to slide into the ditch a few minutes later.

Hence why I'm buying a set of Bridgestone Blizzaks for my truck. Of the all season tires, the only ones I would trust more than not at all is the Continental DWS tires, because they have siping like winter tires and really deep tread depth. My old man doesn't understand why I'm buying winter tires and says as soon as there's no snow the tires will fall apart spontaneously, which is horseshit. Sure you don't drive them in summer weather simply because they will wear faster but they'll be fine for at least 5-6 months of the year in the mid Atlantic region. I have to get to work and I don't trust the city or the county to keep the roads plowed, and everyone in this city drives like insane retards.

I mean, gently caress, there are entire population groups that aren't even aware of the existence of winter tyres.

They legit think you're talking about chains or treads with spikes and poo poo.

It always seemed retarded to me, but now that I'm working in the field, I suddenly understand the market reasons behind it. They don't make it any less retarded, but there we are
