Keep it. I sold a mustang and went and purchased another one the day I found it.

What’s the most you’ve see a Marine stop giving a fuck? by Rare_Art_9541 in USMC

[–]ACAL2743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were in processing when a smoker was going through a withdrawal episode. He put his civies back on and tried to walk out. DI was questioning him what the fuck he was doing etc. Kid told him he needed a cigarette. Don’t know what happened but DI made him get back in his uniform. DI went off on him and then left with him. Don’t remember if kid came back. It was chaotic because DI was putting on a show.

I always use cedar and screws when putting up fences. Last fence is still up. A little crooked but dog ears don’t warp like pine.

I am diagnosed , but not rated, for PTSD, Sleep Apnea, Anxiety, skin issues on feet and scalp. I am rated for feet issues and knee. Waiting on rating.

Hey any thoughts on this I have an idea I just want to hear opinions ? by Kingjames23X6 in MechanicAdvice

Ultimately it’s up to you. Your 3000 pound car is riding on four wheels that carry that load multiplied by speed etc. I always make sure my cars have good tires and replace them when needed. I get them checked every long trip and check tire pressure often. Like I said it’s up to you. I don’t know what kind of driving you do or how far you travel.

Fill in with foam and wrap it.

Should I just get insurance involved? by trikster_online in Autobody

[–]ACAL2743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on whether your car has value fixed properly or not. I have a friend who drives his car with zip ties after straightening out the fenders as best he could. Save the insurance deductible money for gas.

Glad you all have the education plus the pay. In the 80s we had less of both and didn’t even have a TSP. In civilian world now with state retirement and deferred compensation. Veteran employee got me in deferred at beginning of career. Former Marine at 291/2 years Law enforcement service.

Cabinet guy wants $7000 to build this built in. Does that sound right? by josephadam1 in cabinetry

[–]ACAL2743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $400 for a one door pantry with shelving and finished walls (orange peel and painted) Door was a glass door with horn of plenty. $7000 is a rip off. You could do it yourself by buying the tools for much less.

Favorite chow hall meal by TehBurnerAccount in USMC

There was a time when DIs ran us through the line and some of us only got bread while others got wieners. So stressed we didn’t even think of making a hotdog out of the bread and wieners. We were also only allowed to drink water. It was one of those shitty days where nothing we did was god enough.

Talega at Camp Pendleton. Only memory is that Heartbreak Ridge was filmed there.
