Send us a textToday's drop is brought to you by… anger, caffeine, and one last damn slot for the Operator Training Summit. Jared's back with a full-frontal assault on the newest batch of DoD clownery: airframes that are being “upgraded” before they even exist, moving programs that still don't move anything, and bonus cuts that would make a finance troop cry in DFAS-approved tears.We've got everything from Russia testing nuclear air-to-air missiles to the Space Force getting 3% of the budget while being told to dominate orbit. The E-7 still isn't here, China is casually infiltrating American data systems, and the Collaborative Combat Aircraft program might bankrupt us before it ever flies. Meanwhile, the military's entire PCS and EFMP system is straight-up FUBAR'd, and CardoMax is the only thing holding the line.

So much to discuss after the trade deadline! Let's get into it.  Scott and Kim will be doing an event in LA with the LA County Dept of Public Health Peer Resource Center on Thursday, August 15th - sign up at the link in our bio! Then, we welcome JJ Wetherholt to the AIB Cinematic Universe (thank you to listener Paul Kuo for the tip!) and chat exciting Asians in 2025 news.  The trade deadline was chaotic as always! The high: Tommy Edman to the Dodgers. The low: Yusei Kikuchi to the Astros. The shock: a lot of DFAs over the past few months. But a tie at the top of the Asians in Baseball team leaderboards! Quick injury report, but not without a big L. Christian Yelich avoids back surgery but will miss time to rehab, Bo Bichette returns to the IL, and Kodai Senga exits his season debut with a high grade calf strain that will take him out for the rest of the year.  In position player news, we get into the Cardinals new HR celebration, Masataka Yoshida's strong showing, Seiya Suzuki's interpreter is fired, and Kyle Higashioka receives a replica Congressional Gold Medal on behalf of his grandfather, and we discuss the history behind it.  In pitching news, Joey Cantillo makes his long-awaited debut (though against the Phillies), Bryan Woo leaves his last start but isn't expected to miss time, and Sean Manaea is dealing with a season high 11SO. And finally, Ohtani Talk. Don't worry about this man. He's still securely in MVP talks despite only being an DH, is predicted to make over $100 million in endorsement deals this year, and hits a homer at Minute Maid Park that leaves even Astros fans speechless.  Upcoming LA event: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=SHJZBzjqG0WKvqY47dusgfaHvggm-jpCryAOtkYWBH9UMDdNV05ZNlYwMVROTU1EM0NUQlU0V0lJQy4u Scott's Substack: https://rscottokamoto.substack.com/p/shohei-ohtanis-legacy-for-me-begins Cubs' Tokyo series video: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9kmZlZRXb3/ Press release about Kyle Higashioka: https://tinyurl.com/u8cs5t3f

Todd Schmidan Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department of St. Mary's College of California. They are generally intereted in the algebraic, coalgebraic, and logical foundations of program semantics, and recently completed a PhD as a part of the PPLV group in the Computer Science Department of University College London. Today Todd joined us to talk about coequations, a fascinating (categorical) subject relating to the how we add algebraic structure to a space, how we think about relationships between spaces, and more. It turns out that coequations show up all over the place -- in DFAs, Markov chains, various PL concepts, etc. -- and so this is a place where the more abstract categorical stuff turns out to be really useful and illuminating for fairly concrete computer science ideas. Plus, coequations are just plain neat! We were really lucky to steal a little over an hour of Todd's time on this beautiful Saturday and we hope you enjoy the talk as much as we did.

The games are done. The 2023 St. Louis Cardinals can no longer hurt you. Daniel (@C70) and Allen (@amedlock1) talk about the postseason slate that doesn't include the Redbirds for the first time since 2018. Do you prefer day games or night games when it comes to October? They use that to transition to the article by Derrick Goold outlining plans and potential targets for this winter. How confident are we that the Cards will play with the big boys? Can they pull off an early move like they expect? Will they have to trade from the offense or can they even do that? Will they continue to prioritize depth or will we see some DFAs that are uncharacteristic? All this plus a look at the final portions of Wainwright Weekend for you on this show!

Podcaster Robert Knauer CPCM CPPO gives detailed insight into a contracting case brought against a young married couple under the "Federal False Claims Act" or FCA as it is known in federal circles. The case was improperly brought against the couple by Army Criminal Investigators (ARMY CID), but there wasn't sufficient evidence proceed with the case (after three years in court) and the case was dismissed by federal judge Terrance Boyle. Although the case was finally dismissed, the story points out significant time, legal expense and emotional heartache caused simply because one person did the RIGHT THING while the other spouse did the WRONG THING bringing the case to light. In every federal contracting action, all parties must always DO THE RIGHT THING and be above board and ethical in their transactions when dealing with the federal government. This case which can be read in its entirely at https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-odyssey-mktg-grp-inc-1 dealing with case United States v. Odyssey Mktg. Grp., Inc., No. 5:15-CV-510-BO (E.D.N.C. Jun. 7, 2017) paints a clear and convincing picture that even though the married couple and all parties involved were NOT even remotely correct in their personal actions which caused the case to gain the attention of Army CID.....the case hinged on one main factor: that the husband, Rod M. immediately returned to the federal government (DFAS) all monies (improperly obtained and received) $700,000.00, because the husband (COO of Odyssey Marketing) knew the funds received were improperly obtained, not correct and he could not legally retain the money as there was no supporting federal contract or modification to justify retention of the $700K. This one simple act at the advice of this podcaster kept the husband and wife from being found guilty of wrongdoing under the Federal False Claims Act (FCA) and kept them from going to jail and spending millions in defense. Others involved in the case (Army Personnel) were not so lucky.

Economies like China that run surpluses need dollar-based demand from the United States to make up for their own weak consumption and high savings rates.  Rather, the recent conversation is stoked by global grievances about the relative disparity of economic power and the dead end in which some economies find themselves.

No one else does either.” As of 2015...Even after the most recent crash, gold is actually up around 10% per year over the past decade. But it's unlikely many individuals actually participated in this rise unless they held physical gold. The Gold ETF (GLD) only had around $3 billion in assets in 2005. It then grew to nearly $80 billion by the peak in 2011-12, before falling back down to less than $25 billion more recently. Unfortunately, that means many of the bandwagon investors got sucked in very late to the bull market and lost a lot of money in the ensuing crash. Physical Gold in a Self-Directed IRA. Why? Can I own physical gold in my IRA? If you opt for the actual metal, certain criteria apply for it to be held in an IRA. “The precious metal coins or bars must meet IRS fineness standards and must be held by the IRA trustee instead of the IRA owner,” says Moy. “The gold must be stored in an IRS-approved depository.” https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/091814/analysis-should-you-get-gold-ira.asp   Tax Implications of Gold Coins...28%  Physical gold (including the ETF – GLD) is tax as collectible. However, the IRS considers physical quantities of metal to be a “collectible.” For collectibles, such as coins, art and bullion, the standard tax rate is 28%.

Learn about changes to the Survivor Benefit Plan annuity payments from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service and about the Dependency and Indemnity Compensation payments from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The changes, which go into effect for 2023, involve eliminating the Optional Annuity for Dependent Children, meaning eligible spouses will receive their full SBP payment from DFAS and their full DIC payment from the Department of Veteran Affairs. Host Bruce Moody speaks with Julie Burandt-Partin, director of retired and annuitant pay for DFAS, about the changes. Visit Military OneSource for more information about the phase-out of the SBP-DIC offset at https://www.militaryonesource.mil/media/news-and-releases/phase-out-of-the-sbp-dic-offset-frequently-asked-questions/.

Learn about the elimination of the Optional Annuity for Dependent Children and who it affects. Previously, when a service member died on active or inactive duty in the line of duty, the surviving spouse could request to have their Survivor Benefit Plan annuity paid directly to an eligible dependent child or children. Beginning in 2023, however, the SBP monthly annuity payment must revert to the surviving spouse (once they submit documentation confirming eligibility).

Chicago baseball is in the dumps. Again. Let's talk about it. 

Paul Hoynes and Joe Noga look at Cleveland's roster moves for the May 2 cut down.

Podcaster Robert Knauer CPCM CPPO gives background and some insight into a contracting case brought against a married couple under the "Federal False Claims Act" or FCA as it is known. The case was improperly brought against the couple by Army Criminal Investigators, but there wasn't sufficient evidence proceed (after three years in court) and the case was dismissed by federal judge Terrance Boyle against the couple. Although dismissed the story points out significant time, legal expense and emotional heartache all because one person did the RIGHT THING while the other spouse did the WRONG THING bringing the case to light. Once again, in every contracting action, all parties must always DO THE RIGHT THING and be above board and ethical in their transactions when dealing with the federal government. This case which can be read in its entirely at https://casetext.com/case/united-states-v-odyssey-mktg-grp-inc-1 dealing with case United States v. Odyssey Mktg. Grp., Inc., No. 5:15-CV-510-BO (E.D.N.C. Jun. 7, 2017) paints a clear and convincing picture that even though the married couple and all parties involved were NOT even remotely correct in their personal actions.....the case hinged on one main factor: that the husband, Rod M. immediately returned to the federal government (DFAS) all monies $700,000.00 because he knew it was not correct and he could not legally retain the money as there was no supporting contracting or modifications justifying the retention of funds. This one simple act at the advice of this podcaster kept the husband and wife from being found guilty of wrongdoing under the FCA.

Today we're talking about the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) Annuity option. Don't confuse the TSP Annuity option with being a FERS, CSRS, or Military annuitant. An annuitant is someone entitled to regular payments from a pension or an annuity. OPM and DFAS will call you an annuitant because you are receiving pension payments as a retiree. If you choose to turn your TSP into an annuity, this something else entirely. .An annuity is insurance that you can buy with all or part of your TSP savings. TSP will buy it for ou from Met Life. MetLife then sends you set monthly payments for the rest of your life (or your spouse too if you choose a joint life annuity). The money you use to buy an  annuity is gone permanently in exchange for guaranteed lifetime monthly payments. The TSP has a great fact sheet at  https://www.tsp.gov/annuity-basics/  The annuity is a permanent contract that can't be changed and the annuity payment amounts are set for life. So with inflation, your annuity income will buy less and less over time.  While Social Security, military and federal civilian pensions rise with inflation, called a COLA, the TSP annuity payouts are frozen in time. There are options you can add to the annuity, at a cost. An increasing payments option an help protect against the loss of buying power due to inflation. It has a set 2% increase in the payments you receive each year, whether inflation is more or less than that. There is joint life annuity with payments that continue at 100% or 50% until both you and your spouse die, or under certain circumstances a dependent dies. If you die before the amount paid to purchase your annuity has been paid out, the rest will be paid to your beneficiary(ies) in a lump sum. The 10-year certain option guarantees your beneficiary will receive at least 10 years worth of payments if you die within the first 10 years. Remember, more nice options equals lower monthly payments to you.TSP has a great online calculator that will walk you through getting an estimated payment based on the amount of TSP money you give up and the options you want. https://www.tsp.gov/calculators/tsp-payment-and-annuity-calculator/#topConsider how comfortable are you with uncertainty or risk. If you are more afraid of running completely out of money because you live a long time, an annuity may be a good choice. Are you more concerned that a fixed income may leave you struggling to pay for your needs in the future because of higher prices? Keeping your money in TSP or other investments with growth potential may be a better bet. It may help to go back to last weeks Episode 57 on Risk Profiles.Are you be eligible for a military pension, federal government pension, and/or Social Security? Remember, these pensions are guaranteed for life, too. But they DO increase with inflation. An annuity may not add much benefit is this case. Keeping your TSP invested instead may be a good way of maintaining some control, flexibility, and the possibility of more growth.  What if you didn't stay in long enough to qualify for a pension? An annuity might look a bit more attractive if you really don't tolerate risk. Even then,  shop around. And lastly, if you want a fixed monthly payment out of your TSP, there is an alternative to an annuity. You can keep your money in the TSP you can choose regular installment withdrawal instead of an annuity. You recieve a certain amount from your TSP  every month, quarter, or year (your choice). Your money stays in your TSP account, you choose how it is invested, you can stop and start these payments, and even change the payment amount. But, there is no guarantee that your TSP will last as

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  It was an up-and-down week for the Redbirds but as Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) note,  that's better than the myriad of weeks that were just down.  Beating the Cubs was great but unfortunately the Cardinals missed opportunities to do the same to the Reds.  Do their postseason hopes still have a heartbeat?  Will John Mozeliak make moves more than buying other team's DFAs?  And how much do we buy into this Harrison Bader surge?  All that and much more!

Our guest today is Tyler Yzaguirre. Tyler is the President and founder of the Second Amendment Institute - a national non-profit organization that focuses on educational advocacy for the second amendment. He is also the national field director of Students for Self-Defense. a national college program that fights for self-defense rights of college students on campus. Tyler is the organizer of the Defending Freedom Action Summit in Arlington, VA. 1) Everybody is excited about in-person events coming back into fashion. Tell us about your DFAS! 2) Students being able to protect themselves on college campuses seems like a no-brainer. Most students are adults, and yet they are treated by colleges as children when self-defense is the topic. What have been some of your success stories? 3) Second Amendment Institute has a powerhouse Board of Directors and I (Cheryl) am proud to be one of them. Tell us a little bit about who is on your Board and what SAI’s mission is.

The Defense Department no longer has a chief management officer. But it still needs a solid dose of management. That came to light in a recent hearing for the Biden administration's nominee for DOD Comptroller, Michael McCord. For more on this and other recent developments, the Federal Drive turned to Federal News Network's Jared Serbu and Scott Maucione.

American Society of Civil Engineers Managing Director of Government Relations and Infrastructure Initiatives Emily Feenstra was featured on the AWF Union Podcast. She spoke with host Ed “Flash” Ferenc about the U.S. infrastructure report card, what is categorized as infrastructure, whether or not the American Jobs Plan will be sufficient and how infrastructure improvements will boost other parts of the economy. American Federation of Government Employees Local 3283 members Joey Graceffo and Dan Drost also joined today’s show. They spoke about the Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS) and what they do, security clearance issues with DFAS, the PRO Act and an overview of public sector unions.

I received a question recently about the taxability of different types of retired pay. While the person asking the question did not like my answer, here is the truth about it all straight from the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS).

DJ gives some hints for the use of MyPay that will be helpful for tax season.

It's the dead of winter, but that doesn't mean the farm is without activity. Joe, John, and Kate convene to discuss the latest moves, answer your questions, discuss the recently dropped MLB Pipeline Top-100 Draft Prospects list, and more! Seattle's trade of Jose Corniell and what it means for the farm, 0:00 - 20:00 - Fare thee well, Tim Lopes and Jose Corniell. We discuss our feelings on Seattle making a trade from their pitching depth, and the positives of such a move versus the concerns about dealing away a 17 year old with promise. Is it a sign of worrisome things to come that Jerry Dipoto is moving the youth out again? Or simply something the club can do thanks to the array of pitching prospects they've assembled at this point? We also fret at the uncertainty of the dreaded PTBNL and wonder which other players in the system might have been showcased at the instructional league with the purpose of trading. 20:00 - 36:00 - Who is next to go off the 40 man? Seattle's roster is stuffed full of relievers, but the club says they intend to add upgrades in the bullpen. Will we see DFAs of some of the players Seattle claimed this winter, or are longtime prospects like Braden Bishop or Donavan Walton at risk? Relatedly, what to do with left field? Jose Marmolejos gets a decent helping of disrespect from the hosts, albeit mostly due to his preferable role being not in the outfield, but what is the plan with Jake Fraley for that matter? Plus, a fun Willie Bloomquist factoid! 36:00 - End - Draft Talk! Kate thinks the tiers of this class break down pretty solidly for Seattle, even if they'll likely miss out on the current "Tier 1" group. Joe suggests this is the year the Mariners might finally go prep position player with their first pick, to the delight and shock of his compatriots. Kate is affronted at some C Ian Moller disrespect, John picks his 2021 Tyler Keenan, and Joe breaks down why the current climate is making it much easier on prep prospects than college ones. We also discuss the high ranking of local prospect OF Malakhi Knight, who comes in at No. 38 on MLB Pipeline's list, and why that's a well-earned bit of recognition at this point. Joe also breaks down what this time in winter looks like in the draft prep process for teams and prospects, and why the dead period isn't so dead for everyone. We finish out with a few listener questions, looking for the next Dylan Moore and crossing our fingers with a bit more optimism that attending live baseball might not be too far away in our futures.

DJ receives a message from DFAS with a strange offer. Here is what it means.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, Ben Kaspick discusses the Giants' upcoming offseason and its key dates and deadlines. For five days after the World Series ends, the Giants will have exclusive negotiating rights with their own free agents: Kevin Gausman, Drew Smyly, Tony Watson, and Trevor Cahill. Once five days are up, they must have decided whether or not to extend any of their free agents the qualifying offer, valued at one year and $18.9 million. Gausman and Smyly are possibilities to be extended the offer. The player(s) then have 15 days to decide whether or not to accept the offer. Also five days after the World Series ends, the Giants must add six players back to their 40-man roster who were either on the 60-day injured list or the restricted list. That could cause a roster crunch and may force the Giants to make some DFAs. They will have five catchers on the 40-man at that point in time, so a catcher may be designated.As we move into late November, the Giants must also choose which prospects to add to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft in early December. They have a few prospects in their Top 30 who are eligible for the Rule 5 Draft and will need to be added to the 40-man roster in order to be protected. They'll also have to decide which players eligible for arbitration to be tendered contracts. The Giants have several arbitration eligible players, and a few seem to be non-tender candidates. Those decisions need to be made by December 2nd.Built Bar-Today's episode is brought to you by Built Bar. Go to builtbar.com and use promo code “LOCKEDON,” and you'll get 20% off your next order.

As time continues to pass in the offseason, The Houston Astros fall deeper down the ditch of lies and cheating scandals. The developments have been shocking and disturbing, but justice will soon be served. With no worries in the near future, Hubbs and Tommy kick the show off with the best news that could have ever been given, the DFAs of Jacoby Ellsbury and Greg Bird. While happiness did ensue, be sure to join Tommy in paying your respects to Nestor Cortes Jr., as he was let go too. Also, a video surfaced of Jasson "The Martian" Dominguez hitting the ball as loud as a tank would sound when firing its ammunition. You don't want to miss the reaction. All this and so much more on the latest edition of The Short Porch.

Cardinals vs Brewers || The Wild Wild...Central || Series Preview The 2019 season started with the Cardinals and the Brewers. And, just-sort-of-almost-but-not-really like we expected, it's coming down to their final matchup, too. Well, that and the remaining 7 games between the Cardinals and the Cubs. But that's a different preview for later. Kyle is back to fill us in on all things Brewers, including who's hurt (spoiler: EVERYONE), who's back (Moooooose!) and who to watch out of the bullpen, after a season of injuries, trades, and DFAs that left *my* head spinning. Division titles. Wild Card spots. Magic Numbers. It's (almost) postseason baseball, baby! Music: Artist: SUBCHO Title: JOYFUL DAY

The PDP is back for another week and with a new hosting service that means you might be listening to us on Spotify or a whole bunch of other places! And if you are, we thank you for doing so. And if you're not, why are you reading this? That seems like a weird use of your time.Anywho, on this week's episode of the show, we discuss the Rockies latest (!) sweep of the D-backs which runs Colorado's winning streak over Arizona to eight (!!) straight games for the first time in franchise history (!!!). Now the task gets even tougher as the purple strong boys head to Los Angeles to tangle with the front-running Dodgers in what is, on June 21, their first visit to Los Angeles this year somehow.This week, we break down Trevor Story's injured thumb and Nolan Arenado's injured big toe (the captain of the toes) as well as the DFAs of Chris Rusin and Mike Dunn. Plus we take a host of #AskPDPs and break down a certain commercial that has Rockies Twitter all aflutter.If you like the PDP, give us a good ol' five-star rating on iTunes so we can combat the Padres and Braves fans who got mad at us on social media and took it out on our ratings! And if you don't like the PDP, go give a bad rating to one of them and not us.All that on this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast! It's got that fence in the middle!

A military retiree in your family has passed away. Here is how you can report the death to DFAS.

You've been hit by a substantial debt by DFAS and it's due to no fault of your own. Here is what you can do about it.

Part 1 of what you should know about military divorces.

In today's Federal Newscast, the Defense Finance Accounting Service is telling those in the military it's unclear when they will get paid that time.

The Eagles continue to rise as they remain at the top of the NFL with a record of 9-1 and are the presumptive favorites to head to the Super Bowl after week 11. On this week's show, we brought on Benjamin Solak (@BenjaminSolak) from the Locked On Eagles podcast, BleedingGreenNation.com and NDT Scouting to discuss the Birds' meteoric rise and what the future holds for this dominant team.But first on the Brief News & Views segment:1. The Sixers just can't seem to finish games. (7:10)2. Flyers Talk: the impact of Gudas' suspension, outdoor hockey scheduled for 2019 in Philly. (15:35)3. Phillies Talk: front office moves, DFAs and should Carlos Santana. (26:40)Then we get into our Up or Down segment where we briefly analyze Philly sports personalities to determine if their needle is moving up or down. (36:00)What we're throwing down on the Table this week is an interview and in-depth discussion with Benjamin Solak about the not only the current state of this 9-1 Eagles team, but also how the future looks in terms of the roster. We first get into the Eagles defense and how Ronald Darby's play this past week was stellar after coming back from an injury. Will he continue to grow in his role? The linebacker corps was another topic we dove into since there's much uncertainly based on injuries, talent and possible free agency. The offensive line has been steadfast in the Eagles run and pass blocking schemes this season and we talked about how much more we can expect from this crew. Are there any weaknesses on the offense that can be exploited by teams in the future? Also, who do the Eagles need to re-sign next to a long-term contract? All of these topics and much more this wee on the Table. (41:55)

I am going to talk about a somewhat sensitive topic this week. No thin skins, please.

Can you stop junk mail, no permits on recently bought house, DFAS going after a disabled vet for over $140,000 & privatizing social security All that and much much more.

Dividing a military pension is a minefield Dividing a military pension is like walking through a minefield. From the perspective of both the service member spouse and the non-service member spouse, unexpected and unwanted results are an ever present risk. Why should it be so hard? One reason is that military pensions are the creation of federal law, but federal law does not tell you how to divide them in the event of a divorce. Another reason is the complexity of the federal statutory scheme. Until 2014, for example, a dollar for dollar trade off existed between retired pay and disability pay. A service member could agree to a division of retired pay in his or her divorce, but later decide to trade retired pay for VA disability pay. VA disability pay is not subject to division in a divorce, so suddenly the former spouse could be surprised by a dramatic reduction in her or his payments from DFAS. Congress fixed this in 2005 by allowing concurrent receipt of disability pay and retired pay ("CDRP"), so that the former spouse's benefits are not reduced by a disability pay election after divorce. But not so fast. The law only applies to certain classes of retirees. The general rule is that the service member retiree must have at least 20 years of creditable service and a VA disability rating of at least 50%. If the service member retiree doesn't meet these criteria, this seemingly past minefield is still there, and pre-CDRP protective strategies used by the non-service member spouse during divorce will still be in play. And there's more. Congress has also provided Combat-Related Special Compensation ("CRSC") for service members with at least a 10% disability directly related to the award of a Purple Heart, or to combat, operations, or hazardous duty. By statute it is not retired pay, and it is not divisible as property. Neither is it compatible with CDRP, which stops upon receipt of CRSC, although any past-paid CDRP has to be given back. This means that an eligible service member retiree can once again forestall what would otherwise be an award to an ex-spouse of a share of military compensation earned during marriage. The state courts are split on whether pre-CDRP protective strategies for dealing with a disability pay election will be effective in dealing with CDRP.
