You're only allowed 60 days of leave now, lest you lose it. Some exceptions may apply if deployed. And I don't recall ever being allowed to carry more than 90, even back in times of the surge. I'm not counting non-chargeable time off, just chargeable leave.

Yeah that's been the rule since the mid 2000s. Didn't mean poo poo. Leave will not be approved during upgrade training, which takes up most of your time between deployments. Leave will not be approved (unless there's a block time, which may or may not apply to you) during pre-deployment spin-up. Everybody knew poo poo was broken, nobody with any authority give a gently caress.

And it's much worse now.

Edit: To clarify, people weren't carrying over 100+ days, they were carrying whatever the waivered max was, then accruing MORE over the following months.

Internal messages between the conspirators give the impression of growing glee at the ease of taking advantage of investors, referring to “building this whole model on the backs of idiots.” The men allegedly described their victims as “dumb” investors and “sheep.”
“They were not wrong,” Emin Gun Sirer, the CEO of blockchain startup Ava Labs, quipped on Twitter.

So long as we’re talking about fantasy tv series on HBO the golden compass season of his dark materials is good so far.

If you did not read those books, all you need to know is that an important recurring character is a bear. A war bear. The bear wears heavy armor. On tomorrow night’s episode assuming it follows the book and preview there’s going to be a lot of armored bears that are mad at each other. So check that out maybe.

Careful, Nicole Kidman is in the terrible movie. The HBO series is called “His dark materials”. I’m just calling it golden compass because that’s the first book of the series.

The movie was watered down by the studio to try and appease dumb Christians, as the books have an atheistic message. It fell flat ended on a cliffhanger, and never got its sequels. Shame because they had an amazing cast assembled. The show has been very good so far.

Is it a polar bear in the book too or was that just in the movie way back when?

Also I'm wondering if they can top ian mckellen for voicing the bear, because that would be impressive.

The first book is called Northern Lights, golden compass was the lovely movie. And the fatality ending of the polar bear fight is so loving ruthless and awesome, especially considering it was a kids book. The whole series is dark as hell and The Church are straight up evil. The author's doing a follow-up series of books now that are also really good.

BEAR FIGHT the good bear rope-a-dopes the evil bear, then right when you think he's about to die, he hits it so hard he tears its entire bottom jaw off and this kids book starts describing how this bear is just spraying blood everywhere and its tongue is all lolling around and it was the most loving :black101: thing 11 year old me had ever read :allears:

My favorite thing about the Golden Compass movie was how it ended just slightly before the book ended, right before the protagonist's best friend gets murdered. Studio execs needed a happy ending I guess.
