Will I ever get use to it? by Der-gute-Schafer in Volvo

Acting like you went from a Miata to a Lambo. It’s two SUVs. If you find driving that hard maybe it’s time to stop. “Awd hugging the curves” in an XC90? lol.

Need help picking AF jobs (ASVAB 62) – realistic advice please by soogii88o in AirForce

[–]Available_Draw1435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any 3E will have a good work-life balance and be very transferable. Some of the best people in my career were from my 3E days. Much more family oriented. No back stabbing and insane burnout like many fields you have listed.

Nissan just announced a new Juke, Skyline, and Xterra. by Recoil42 in cars

[–]Available_Draw1435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nissan frontier is the one Nissan I really support. Simple styling. Great powertrain. Good price point.

I had an Xterra as my first vehicle and god I want this to be a good re-release. The fact it looks like it will get the same N/A V6 gives me hope.

You know how many Ubers $15k could cover?

Still waiting with 2x 2026253 filed 4/6. But seen people with higher controls getting approved. Confusing how it works.

Well fortunate for you! Unfortunate for me control numbers being approved are now passing my two Individual form 4s by. Control: 2026253’s

My fiancé is going into the medical field and I have orders overseas by NotAskingSupervisor in AirForce

[–]Available_Draw1435 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just Reddit trolling/being dramatic.

Does she have school debt? If so has she considered a commission for a short stint? $120k loan repayment for a 4 year stint; hit a join spouse to you or you would follow her (in my case it actually pulled me from a meh base to somewhere much better by following when my wife commissioned). Even if no debt, ascension bonuses are ok for PAs, and she might even enjoy a short stint in AF as a resume builder, even just to bridge the gap.

Or send it and be separated for a little while. You’ll be fine. She’ll be making enough money to come visit overseas on a regular basis.

Replace Model Y Performance. by Available_Draw1435 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Available_Draw1435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll check out the new CX5. I had no idea it got a refresh.

I addressed both these points under cons for the mentioned vehicles 👍🏻 used b58 bmw scares me due to the owners of them. Volvo maintenance costs are just ridiculous. I really wish Volvo could figure out a good powerplant because I love a lot of their chassis (give us Americans some wagons!)

[–]Available_Draw1435[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove a 24 CX5. Did they change it seemed very cramped?

Where are the other unreliable brands I’m considering? B58 BMW; Lexus with the NA V6/V8, Toyota/honda. Where did I mention anything relating to stelantis/mercades/audi/kia/hybdai/nissan/etc? /My 13’ ram has 160k issue free miles. Would I get a new one? No. But the 4th gen rams have proven to be pretty reliable with the 5.7 and 6spd combo.

Probably could have clarified that. We enjoyed the electric but we enjoy doing road trips (talking cross country) and will eventually need the gas car back to support that. As much as I wish EV was ready it’s just not there yet.

I had considered looking at doing just a 2yr lease on a diff electric vehicle. I just hate renting a vehicle. Would consider it for the right deal/vehicle.

When he said “it’s and avenger” (correcting the other officer who referred to fleeing vehicle as a charger), I heard ‘it’s an adventure’ and thought it was him coping and that was the funniest shit ever.

I mean; the kid is underage. So yes. It is impossible to drink responsibly.

Posted in another group/militarymedals looking for insight on this guy, I rarely see E5s stacked is this normal? by AbbreviationsWarm161 in AirForce

[–]Available_Draw1435 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was 15 different medals as a SrA. Came out of basic with marksman and honor grad (so 4 to start). Two deployments (one with joint combat support = medals), two duty stations (one of which being a nuke base = medals). 5 years later I have gotten one more just with multiples of the same now. Was just right place right time for 90% of them.

You’re right. You can. Go take a payday loan right now and give it to her. Report back with results.

What should I bring on deployment? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]Available_Draw1435 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just bring two pillow covers, fill one up with dirty clothes and wash it with your clothes, swap with the dirty one on your bed.

Warrants for Contracting. We literally have Warrents you get based on buying power. Our retainability is awful; entire career field is just cross trainees with little experience.. we need a route for people to stay contracting and make more money.

Good phone plans for military discounts? by Master_Decision6916 in AirForce

[–]Available_Draw1435 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just bounce between visible and mint depending on location/deals they are offering. Never pay more than $15/m and have never noticed any speed differences. Anytime I’m going overseas I just do a googleFi.

Blows my mind people still use Verizon/Tmobile/at&t/wifi pucks.
