follow-the-settlements doctrine

Read a random definition: visus

A quick definition of follow-the-settlements doctrine:

The follow-the-settlements doctrine is a rule in insurance that says the company that provides insurance must agree with the decisions made by the person or company they are insuring when it comes to settling claims. This means that if the person or company being insured decides to settle a claim, the insurance company must follow their decision. The same rule applies to reinsurers, who must follow the actions of the reinsured.

A more thorough explanation:

The follow-the-settlements doctrine is a principle in insurance that requires an indemnitor to accept and agree with the actions taken by the indemnitee in settling claims. This principle is particularly relevant in reinsurance, where a reinsurer must follow the actions of the reinsured.

Suppose a primary insurer settles a claim with a policyholder for $100,000. The reinsurer, who has agreed to cover a portion of the risk, must accept the settlement and pay their share of the claim. Even if the reinsurer disagrees with the settlement amount, they are bound by the follow-the-settlements doctrine and must honor the decision of the primary insurer.

Another example could be a situation where a policyholder sues an insurance company for damages. If the insurance company decides to settle the case out of court, the reinsurer must accept the settlement and pay their share of the settlement amount.

These examples illustrate how the follow-the-settlements doctrine works in practice. It ensures that all parties involved in an insurance contract are held accountable for their actions and decisions, and that the risk is shared fairly among them.

@m10: 110% agree, china has a truly amazing HUMINT network and espionage skills that much of our military is infiltrated or committing willful negligence of duty in prevent and protection. @babycat: PSYOP is pretty small on the AD side but I left the community to go play with Apaches and drones in 2018/19

Psyop guys will try and convince you they are like secret masterminds. I had this one guy whose wife would call me every week and she would tell me about how her husband just like disappeared and could not be found cus he was a specialy trained psyop officer. I found his phone number and called him the same day online. That woman was gaslit so hard.

is t4 HYSC? yeah prob your odds are not too great for those with 3.7 and 171 unless you’re really extraordinary

I agree with soap on this one, just wait it out and see where you get into. You could always transfer (although I wouldn't go in with the intention of transferring)
soap
10:37
Transferring is hard and you don’t get money. I wouldn’t do anything with the intent of transferring
Disagree with the transfer. But, yeah a 3.7, 171 is not HYSC material—so unless you’re a Rhodes scholar, or something it is highly unlikely.

@m10: most of PSYOP are guys who failed SFAS and Ranger so much so they can't go back and think being SOCOM makes them SF. I loved the cultural side of it all, going to embassies and running influence operations. Doing KLEs and training with foreign militaries was amazing. Learned so much about the world by talking to those who live all over it. Then got lucky and worked with a Marine HIT overseas and would tag along when they kidnapped people to do some stuff lol The rest of the time was a lot of reports and KLEs

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Did not know that but it makes sense. That sounds like a cool career. I would have liked to have done that too. I really would have just liked to have gone OCONUS once.

I was talking to this 88H in a bar last weekend and he had some wild story about being interrogated by the FBI and CIA and shit to get a top-secret clearance or something so he could drive a forklift around Europe, Korea, and Africa. It sounded like a bunch of bullshit to me but do you know if something like that could be true?
babycat

@shaquilleoatmeal: yeah so I’ve heard
i don't know any of this military talk but i was going to be a combat medic or trauma surgeon for so long before i went this track lol, so my only exposure is seriously looking and visiting places like west point for recruitment lol. i speak russian so everyone always told me that raises your chances at those places lol
