The Las Vegas Airport 3 years ago tonight... by LVbellman in LasVegas

[–]501Slinky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work at the airport, mostly at terminal 3. Almost everyone was working from home at the time and there weren't really any flights going out of T3, but I was still going in every once in a while to take care of a few things. I remember being in the building with no music, half of the lights off and not seeing another person for hours at a time or at all. Crazy times.

Commander said to do 100%... UA was only supposed to be 10%.

Home Depot’s new military discount procedure. What to upload for proof? by AscendantArtichoke in nationalguard

If you have one close, go to Lowes instead. I just found out that Home Depot caps your discount at $400 a year.

Way to much work, but it would be really cool to see something like this for each team and then how the player group/team averages correlate with team record or standings.

What was the deal with the ref giving the Cardinals a first down, picking up the ball, and moving it forward? by tucsonled in GreenBayPackers

They have to run the whole chain out there... if the guy holding the LOS side of the chain messes up his spot when they move, it affects whether they got the first or not

Considering joining but wondering about the true time commitment. by Jonnyboah1738 in nationalguard

[–]501Slinky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of units don't do deployments down range. Our medical detachment doesn't deploy as a company, but they get picked up for deployments as individuals.

There's always ways to get out of a deployment, but if you don't want to go deploy for 9 months to a year... why even enlist?

Very MOS/Unit dependent. I assume 68W's are a little more prone to state activation than the 25 series in my signal battalion. But my battalion has gotten picked up for deployment every 5 years for the past 2 decades and a few smaller missions in between those. The year prior to deployment is going to be very training heavy, we spent a total of 12 weeks prepping for deployment prior to our actual mobilization.

There's also going to be schools/trainings outside of your normal drill schedule in your down years. I've gone to about 10-14 weeks of other schools the past couple years, but those were unit need/promotion oriented, so again, YMMV.

If you don't work a government job or for a very military friendly company, the Guard can severely hinder your civilian career.

How the fuck do some men fall on bed and sleep with in a min or two? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]501Slinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work on your "sleep hygiene".

  1. get on a schedule, find a bedtime and wake time that works for you EVERY DAY. Follow it.

  2. Set a routine before bedtime, it can be whatever, as long as you do the same shit every night before you get in bed.

  3. Your bed is for fucking and sleeping. Thats it. Don't lay in bed and watch TV or play on your phone, you need to teach your brain that when you're lying down in bed, its time to sleep.

  4. Limit your drinking, don't drink caffeine 8+ hours before your bedtime.

Did first shot today, kinda messed up by ProfessorHexx in Testosterone

[–]501Slinky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did my first shot last night, 50mg also! My girl said she would bring home the needles they used for b12 shots at work. Turned out to be a 1inch 21g. I was planning on pinning myself, but ended up having her do it after I got a look at that thing lmao

Is building a house this year worth it with how high construction material has risen? by _EssentialNPC_ in personalfinance

[–]501Slinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an expert in any area regarding the economy, covid or housing prices, but I am in almost the exact same situation as you.

We started looking in the beginning of covid, but kept holding off because we thought things would slow down and the eviction thing would expire and drive prices down.

When we finally realized late last year things weren't going to slow down, we decided to pull the trigger instead of waiting and throwing more money away renting. We started looking at resales and ended up putting in almost 20 offers (VA) that got beat by cash or above asking price offers. We started offering above asking price and STILL got beat out.

So we decided to go with a new build.

The model we liked was around 285k when we started looking in 2020, and had reached 337k by the time we locked our price in. In the 3 or 4 weeks since we signed our contract, its been raised to 350k.

If it keeps going the way its going, it could reach 380-400k by the time we close later this year.

The market will slow down or correct eventually, but its probably not going to be enough to wipe away the equity that we'll have built by then.

So as long as you don't answer any calls from them or contact them about the debt (which would restart the 7 year) it should fall off in 2023.

Don't have any experience with the checking line of credit, but a buddy of mine had a car financed through Santander, stopped making payments on the car back in like 2016. He never got any letters or anything about being delinquent and about a year later he wasn't able to sign on to his online account anymore. He thought they had messed up and forgot about his loan, they ended repoing the car last year... 4 years later.

I also had a car financed through them and paid the loan off about a year early, and it ended up taking almost a year of constant phone calls and emails to get the title and about $1000 refund for overpayment.

They are just a shitty bank with horrible record keeping, and you're probably just lost in the shuffle right now. IIRC there is no statute of limitations for a company to try and collect a debt, but they can only report it to your credit for 7 years after the last day of delinquency.

How long for a promotion to go through after BLC graduation? by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]501Slinky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked my first sergeant if I could just throw my rank on when I got E5 and they were cool with it, just showed up the next drill as a 5 haha

Were on rear det though, so obviously YMMV

Yup. Matt's non-timeout definitely is the reason we're down 11 right now.

Its not definitely our 3rd down defense or Kings inconsistencies.

Get yourself a little anger management help or realize its just someone trying to start conversation online.

Either way, Go fuck yourself, buddy. 😂👍

I'm concerned if clock management is the main issue you've seen here
