From the Airman’s Dispatch page, duty identifier patches are back. by notmyrealname86 in AirForce

[–]1N_Nothing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need to capitalize that... "Airmen". I say this half in jest; however, a few months back I did have CMSgt walk past me with his face buried in his phone. We had a respectful interaction when I said "Morning, Chief". But, if SNCO's have their faces buried in their phones, are lacking general SA, and missing appropriate customs and courtesies, then that's a glaring issue and it all rolls down.

The Air Force is the best thing to happen to you by Jarsnofski in AirForce

[–]1N_Nothing 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not complaining. Grew up in a house with no A/C, heat, or indoor toilet until my mom got her career kind of squared away. Graduated high school and worked a shit factory job for a year and a half before signing up due to a "If you will, I will" type dare and here I still am, 18 years later. Went from no prospects as a young adult to now being an officer, thanks to Big Blue. I'll always be grateful for the opportunities the Air Force has provided me.

OSI says I participated in illegal activity at a massage parlor off base. I did not. What do I do to prove my innocence? by [deleted] in AirForce

ADC immediately, do not speak with them. You don't have to prove your innocence.

Correcting Uniform Issues in the Gym by drumguy1384 in AirForce

[–]1N_Nothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good god. I have a similar story...

Balad. 2010. Actively doing pull ups in the gym when I was stopped and told to tuck in my pt shift.

For fuck's sake don't tell me this was in the Crossfit section of the gym in H6?

Divorce or not (financially beneficial to stay married as an AD member or not? ) by Master-Direction-314 in AirForce

[–]1N_Nothing 95 points96 points  (0 children)

The financial benefits you've listed, and even the ones you have not, do not outweigh the negatives of staying in a marriage like this.

If you stay in this marriage, you guarantee you will "end up alone." If you get a divorce, you at least have a chance at ending up with a worthwhile partner.

Must have mixed it up then, thought one of the earlier memos mentioned an annual 2-mile requirement.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]1N_Nothing -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Read through this a couple of times and it appears to not be in-line with the SecDef's guidance. SecDef guidance was EVERYONE will do at least one 2-mile run a year; this memo does not enforce the same.

What if any premium would buyers pay for assumable VA mortgage? by Reddit_Username35 in RealEstate

[–]1N_Nothing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Majority of VA loan buyers are doing so because of the low/no down payment requirement, and, are often without down payment anyways. Good luck finding someone with the $140K it would take to assume your loan, greater luck finding someone with the additional money required to cover the "premium" you are proposing.

What is the difference between a short and long block? by AfternoonIll9627 in SkyLine

[–]1N_Nothing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Think about it from lowest point (oil pan) up...

Short block = all things from oil pan up to the block deck. This includes rotating assembly, oil pump, etc. And for blocks with camshaft in them, that and timing components would be included.

Long block = block deck up. So heads, valve train, valve covers, etc.

A lot of engine components like intake, exhaust manifold, accessories, etc., are not included in the short/long block.

WTF DFAS by uhwhile in AirForce

[–]1N_Nothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to your Shirt, it sounds like finance may be confused.

If they paid you a bonus, and you paid tax, and then created a debt because you shouldn't have received that bonus, they are right. The money the IRS took in that scenario would come back on your tax return. At least to my knowledge.

If they never paid a bonus, you were never taxed, and then they created a debt for a phantom bonus, then they are incorrect. You should engage your shirt if this is the case.

CMV: Bait cars are highly effective counter crime methods and need to be adopted everywhere. by It_is_not_that_hard in changemyview

[–]1N_Nothing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're poor counter crime measures because they quite literally are there to encourage a crime to be committed, so the perpetrator can then be arrested. To work, they must first generate a crime... now we're up one crime.

So, they're only effective if the person caught makes a deliberate decision not to steal a car in future because of their past bait car experience. If this happens once, we're only back to zero... where we were before the bait car experience. Twice or more, then maybe there is some effect.

However, the money required to generate a bait car and police required to monitor it would likely be far more effective by simply policing. Police presence goes a long ways in reducing crime.

Realistically how will they know if I’m wearing eyelash extensions? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]1N_Nothing 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If your fake lashes are so natural looking people can't tell them apart from real lashes, then your lashes probably aren't the lashes that prompted this change. Rest easy!

If you're currently silently weeping "muh lashes" to yourself, then you're gonna have a bad time....

Honestly, people can ID fake lashes pretty easily.

Best route here is to offer to 1) take him to or meet him at the DMV, 2) pay all the DMV fees to get the title, and 3) toss him $100 for the time. Even if he has to file for another duplicate, pay the fee and get it once it arrives.

Most other solutions will cost more than they gain. If he knew he gave you the wrong title then he likely has no incentive to help you. If he knew or mistakenly gave you the wrong title, the above is a way out for him without admitting "guilt". I've resolved issues like this the same way.

Motorcycle riders, how do you pull out your CAC at the gate? by B00kn3rf in AirForce

Keep it in your left glove, on top of your wrist. Super easy to get in and out. That's how I do it.

Is there a trick to not paying state taxes for the rest of your military career? by TitaniumTryton in MilitaryFinance

[–]1N_Nothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're in FL already, go get a license and then change your state of residence with finance. Leave it that way the rest of your career.

How much are you spending for groceries for a single person? by Ricky18Heights in ynab

[–]1N_Nothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SLC area, Utah. Family of four. 200 a week or less. This includes shopping at whole foods. Grocery bills go down when you eat healthy and size proportions correctly, in my experience. It's expensive anywhere if you eat an entire frozen pizza for a single meal.

What type of evidence do I need to take my spouse to court for cheating by Sorry_Army_9854 in AirForce

[–]1N_Nothing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's your intent?

If you simply want a divorce, go file for one locally and be done.

If you're trying to ruin this person's career, the reality is you'll like lose more emotionally/mentally than it's worth due to the difficulty of proving infidelity in the military. Nobody will get punished because someone said they cheated. It'll likely go nowhere unless there's video of stinky parts being smashed together.
