A stuffy nose can be just as uncomfortable as a runny one, and often the causes are the same: a cold or the flu; allergies to dust, pollen or pet dander; or a nonallergic inflammation of your nasal blood vessels (vasomotor rhinitis).

Basic Active Service Date (BASD), also known as Date Initially Entered Military Service, (DIEMS) is an important date for service members of all the military branches. The BASD is the date you use to calculate your time in Active Service (AS). Once you know that figure, you can then calculate your retirement pay and date of eligibility. For new service members, it can be difficult to find out your actual BASD. In many cases, it is not the date you began training.
Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS) - BAS is a rate based on the service member only and is not intended to cover spouses and/or family members' food/subsistence costs. Changes in food prices as measured by the U.S. Department of Agriculture dictate any changes to BAS. BAS is not taxed. Effective January 1, 2018, all enlisted military members in a proper status draw a full BAS monthly rate of $369.39 and $254.39 for Officers. Service members who draw BAS are required to pay for their own meals, even if provided by the government.
