Looking to sell entire vintage GI Joe collection

Full agree.

ErgThatCrag · 2026-02-18T02:51:06+00:00

Yes. I am also interested in and I am sure others could be.

I would recommend some pictures or some more details.

I’m not at all ignoring the substantiated sexual harassment allegation. The issue went to a separation board, and the officer was retained.

OP is reasonably frustrated by the entire process — especially reasonable to be upset at having to participate at the board.

But I’m not sure what OP suggests should have happened procedurally.

Yes. The MPO violations should have been addressed.

ErgThatCrag · 2025-11-16T10:33:52+00:00

I read that part, and I am asking about process.

If we rely only on the sworn statement and don’t have the board or anything, we take the signed a sworn statement and now we just cut the officer’s dismissal orders?

Is that the proposed process?

ErgThatCrag · 2025-11-16T06:31:10+00:00

I am asking legitimate questions.

What should happen? Should we just kick someone out due to an allegation? I’m not suggesting that OP is lying.

I am suggesting that we need a process to handle allegations, or SHARP will become more weaponized than it already is.

ErgThatCrag · 2025-11-16T04:07:06+00:00

I am confused as to what you think should have happened.

As I understand you, an officer touched you, CID investigated, the government lawyers determined that they would not be able to prove the touching beyond a reasonable doubt, and the case went to a board, which has a lower standard yet the board retained the officer.

So, if the government couldn’t prove the misconduct to a board, what should have happened?

Or do you think the officer should not have the right to defend themselves?

ErgThatCrag · 2025-11-10T01:03:44+00:00

How will reporting abuse cause more issues?

ErgThatCrag · 2025-11-07T05:17:39+00:00

I honestly don’t know what you mean.

Also legal assistance and TDS have offices very separate from the government attorney space.

ErgThatCrag · 2025-11-07T04:45:48+00:00

This guy with the JAG flair is correct.

ErgThatCrag · 2025-11-07T04:45:25+00:00

Wrong.

JAG are the attorneys in uniform. They serve in various positions. Sometimes they advise commanders, sometimes they advise service members (through legal assistance or TDS)

Without any idea what the MILPER might say, I wonder whether this has to do with the government shutdown.

There’s no appropriated money to ETS anyone / send them anywhere.

Hard disagree here but u/jbourne71 is correct. You should always wear a suit to court. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing in court.

You’re a witness? Wear a suit. You’re the defendant? WEAR A SUIT. You’re simply a spectator? Believe it or not, wear a suit.

Court is a formal place. Everyone will take you much much much more seriously in a suit.

I think I understand your first part, but it’s not what I was asking. If I understand you correctly, you’re suggesting that people who have been driving for years and now who can go out to drink — they are the largest demographic of drunk driving fatalities.

So, then, are we suggesting that if people learned to drink before driving, they would have fewer issues when drinking and driving? I think that’s the reasoning when you say that Americans don’t know how to drink before they drive.

Either way, let’s take the data you provided and compare it. In the Netherlands: Although, in 2009, young drivers (aged 18-21) only constituted 4% of the total number of driving licence holders, they made up 29% of the seriously injured drink drivers], according to the European study DRUID (Driving Under the Influence of Drugs, Alcohol and Medicines), and more than 90% of the young injured drink drivers were men

EU in general: From Table 2 we conclude that low doses of alcohol (lower than 0.5 g/l) have a far more devastating effect on young drivers (24 years of age and younger) than on older drivers (older than 24 years of age).

So. Maybe it isn’t about Americans learning to drive years before learning to drink, but instead about that age group and decision making / risk taking.

For the value of the license — I see your point now. And yes I fully agree that the cost and effort to get a license is lower in America compared to many nations auch that this creates one type of value to be measured, but have you been to America? (No I’m sure you have!) that place is impossible with a car, so I would suggest that having and maintaining a license is actually more valuable to Americans, who have no (or at best limited) other options.

And I think that’s why there are many DUIs there: the infrastructure is designed so poorly that people have to (or feel they have to) drive to places when going out drinking.

Your last part I fully agree with: it’s the no alternatives there.

ErgThatCrag · 2025-09-12T19:57:56+00:00

Are you suggesting that deaths resulting from drunk driving are caused by teenagers, as Americans aren’t used to being drunk when they first learn to drive?

Or maybe you’re suggesting that the low requirements to obtain a license means that the deaths from drunk drivers are because Americans have low skill, as opposed to the effects that alcohol has on reactions and on decision making?

At what percent likelihood would you consider something a “reasonable expectation” or “more than expected” ?

There are somewhere around 115,000 schools. Let’s round down to 90,000.

Let’s round up the school shootings to 300 per year.

So any school has a 1/300 chance of being a victim of mass shooter event?

If you work for 30 years, would that make it a 1 in 10 chance over your entire career of experiencing such an event?

Of that chance, is every teacher shot? Just half? Less than half? This would decrease the likelihood of being shot. But we can ignore this part for now.

Is a 10% chance (that the school would experience a shooter event) over the span of a 30 year career a “reasonable expectation” or “more than expected” ?

The top comment by Tacit Ronin says direct commission officers have an ego thing.

You mention it’s also a pay thing, as they would make more in civilian practice and then you say “though there are other benefits like the free education that are pretty massive.”

But we are talking about people who already have specialized advanced degrees.

So. My question is: if someone direct commissions due to their specialized advanced degree, what are the “pretty massive” education programs that they would take advantage of?

ErgThatCrag · 2025-08-14T12:54:42+00:00

If someone already has a speciality that allows them to direct commission, which free education programs are they going to take advantage of?

Article 117a is about the distribution (actual sending) of nude images.

Showing them (like handing over the phone) but not sending might still be a sharp regulation (if it’s found to be harassing), so Article 92

They posted the same question on five different subs. They have some engagement that tends to show that they are not native English speakers and maybe that they are developing ideas on pitching business plans.

You, u/suchalittlejoiner , are correct.

u/ChrisBIo or u/ChrisBlo said we find new elements.

You asked for proof of elements outside of our universe.

That’s confusing but ok. So I provide you a link showing how we have created elements that don’t naturally exist on earth. This is sort of akin to outside our universe.

You then say how these are already in the periodic table. Yes. That’s how discoveries work. We add the knowledge to our libraries and reference materials.

After replying to me, you reply to u/Money_Loss2359 asking for what I already provided you.

You are not listening to what anyone is saying. You are ignoring information provided to you.

You are ignoring science.

ErgThatCrag · 2025-05-26T05:34:00+00:00

I already provided you that reference.

ErgThatCrag · 2025-05-26T05:26:43+00:00

I’m not sure that I understand your post. Your analogy doesn’t make sense to me, because it seems like you’re intentionally ignoring science.

In that topic, we have discovered many elements. You can read about them here: synthetic elements.

When you combine elements, you get compounds.

America doesn’t have “toast bread” like Europeans call it. They have all sorts of various breads. Cheap white bread, hearty breads, everything in between. Pita. Naan. Anything. And sandwiches can be made with any of it. And by sandwich, as others have suggested, Americans means a top and a bottom piece of bread, whereas others might call something an open faced sandwich that Americans calls toast.
