Think about it: if you have an emergency, such as having to replace someone’s flat-screen that you just beer-punted when Peyton lost that safety last February, you’re not going to have much spending Money. BUT, if you take out an emergency military loan to pay for that flat-screen, then you can keep your spending cash in your pocket where it belongs. Then you’ll have money for your smokes. And it looks like those smokes are going to … Continue reading →

The Army brass told the House that cutting 20% of facilities is gonna save $5 billion by closing a few more bases. BRAC. Congress doesn’t like BRAC very much. BRAC seriously ticks off constituencies and gets Congress thrown out of office. The size of the Army is going to shrink anyway, due to general cuts and sequestration anyway, so therefore, facilities will go pretty much unmanned anyway, so this isn’t as big a deal as one would think. Still, it’s … Continue reading →

What in the world are they doing now? Trying to save a life? Or trying to save in healthcare costs? See, the Navy is looking at the effects of banning tobacco from all the retail points – both on base and on ships. This is under direction of the Pentagon, and believe me, it’s serious. They’re even looking at things like potential impact on the exchange profits, etc. When they start looking at things like that, you know there’s a … Continue reading →

While everyone looks for the plane, take a look at this for a minute: The Westboro Baptist Church – the one that used to picket KIA funerals, right? Well, according to his son, the church’s founder, Fred Phelps, is on his deathbed. There are conflicting reports, with some sources saying that Phelps is in fact not dying, but resting comfortably at his home. But, others are supporting Junior’s claims, going so far as to name the name of the hospice … Continue reading →

What’s the one thing that active duty personnel, reservists, service vets, combat vets, and civil servants all have in common? They’re all stinking rich. Seriously. Uncle Sam has us all set up these days. Free food, free booze, free girls… Since that obviously isn’t the case, we have military loans. All Fed-type folks can get military loans with bad credit, good credit, or even no credit. Active duty military – ANY active duty military – have financing options available regardless … Continue reading →

Yes, you read that right. Active duty military personnel, as well as reservists, vets, and civil servants are all guaranteed military loans with bad credit. So what do you do with this power? Well, if it were me, the first thing I would do is trick my car out. Seriously. I’m driving a Honda Civic over here, and it’s all factory. A Civic can be a badass ride if you do it up right. Now, you can. The second thing? … Continue reading →

Broncos by 14. That’s my prediction. But ya know what? I could care less. I’m a Panthers fan, for one. For another, I’m gonna be augmenting my game-watching experience with a fantastic new home MacBook Pro from Exchange USA. This way, I can follow all the additional coverage on NFL.com and never miss a minute – even during the stupid commercials. The best thing? I got this new MacBook Pro dirt cheap though military financing, just like everything else in … Continue reading →

… and the dumb criminal of the year award goes to… Stanley Engram and Lonnie Halkmon of the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, MO! In early 2012, these two rocket scientists ditched over 75% of the personnel files charged to their care. It ended up affecting hundreds of servicepersons. Either these two really didn’t feel like working and just tossed the files instead, or they were simply so incompetent that they legitimately lost them all. So we have … Continue reading →

OK, so now instead of the Ground Combat Vehicle, the Pentagon is asking for development plans form the nation’s top military contractors for a new new toy. The working name is the “Ultra-Light Combat Vehicle,” or ULCV, which will be air-droppable. Yes, an airborne assault vehicle.
