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.
Some states choose to include BAS when calculating child support obligations. For more information, you may want to read the Defense.gov Military Pay BAS page or the DOD Financial Regulation Volume 7A Chapter 25. I must warn you, the Volume7A Chapter 25 is long and I find it to be very confusing.I have read a lot of stuff in there that directly contradicts what I have seen in the real military.ow is BAS calculated? BAS is linked to, and changes with, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) food cost index. No one in the military, Congress, or the executive branch of government has any control over the statistics that come out of the USDAâs annual survey.
