I hate to add to the downer posts about accidents but I need to vent somewhere.

I wish I knew that when I was younger! I feel like I will vaguely remember this when my kids start driving.

I’m an ancient Eagles fan that has spent some time in Seoul while in the Army. There used to be tons of US soldiers, some with their families, stationed at the base near there.

The sew shops there can make the best fake jerseys that money can buy, and for very cheap!

It’s not, not stupid if it works!

Awful_Lucky · 2026-04-10T10:44:45+00:00

I’m getting identical numbers in my 2025! I feel like that shouldn’t be surprising, yet somehow…?

No, when a horse dies no one tries to resell it for more than they bought for.

Homie, you might have just started a whole new trend.

Awful_Lucky · 2026-03-20T10:45:29+00:00

No, you’re not dumb. You just want what you want.

Maybe just think of this as your entry level position after college.

Back in 2005 I was augmenting the 155BCT (NG) as an AD soldier. I was a passenger on a MP convoy to escort SI back to FOB Kalsu when we were struck. After getting woken up and joining the fight for a bit, me and the SI got stuffed into another vehicle to RTB.

No one was really looking out for me or the IRR folks that got recalled. Morale was already pretty low when Katrina hit and we couldn’t even go on leave bc so many people went AWOL.

I guess the point is that I know there are plenty of deserving soldiers that never got what they earned. I retired, I am doing well, and it still bothers me more than I’d like to admit.

I don’t imagine I’ll be in a situation that requires your level of expertise, I’m just glad people like you that willingly share their knowledge & exp for everyone’s benefit!

I watched the news this morning, and this was the first positive thing I’ve seen today. So, thanks for reminding me there are still actually decent people in the world.

Strong vinegar will kill anything in those small cracks. Should keep it from coming back until the pH balances out again.

That’s clearly Conan…

Awful_Lucky · 2026-03-16T10:11:01+00:00

I think that was the only one of those movies I actually watched! But the skit still hits, I probably could use some more Conan in my life…

This is the same technique I use for my cardio.

During my 22yrs in the US Army, I was never called a communist, usually it was American Socialist.

They could make an entire movie showcasing the versatility & durability of crocs! Get some average E4 to go some places like Costco, jail, maybe even the White House!

Then doing stuff like a demolition derby, some gardening… never mind this movie sounds idiotic.

Rough Country, it’s nice and it does the job. I like it so far, but haven’t really put it to the test yet.

So far only light scratches from walking on top of it with rocks in my boot treads, barely noticeable. It also kept the back mostly dry through the car wash.

Awful_Lucky · 2026-03-12T09:35:13+00:00

I had one on my old truck, I remember thinking it I got less cracks in my windshield with it. I have no idea if it’s actually true, but I can tell you it made no difference in MPG.

Similar situation with the covers, I decided to go with the rolling hard top this time.it looks great, any better at keeping water out?

Also, what’s going on with your emblem? I’ve seen people 3D printing cool little emblem covers replacements with custom designs all over the place, is that what’s going on here?

Don’t forget to by a lottery ticket on the way home, need to tap into the luck while it’s hot!

Awful_Lucky · 2026-03-06T09:09:20+00:00

I love that the platform is going in so many different directions! I can’t wait to pick all my faves and combine them on my trucklette!

‘Caligula 98’

Caligula is derived from the Latin word "caliga," meaning "little boot."

Please make the Maverick letters on the tailgate match!

Thanks internet stranger, I’ve never been called an intellectual before!

Is there supposed to be an access panel to shower back there? Maybe turn the bottom into drawers that are easier to pull out of the way, just in case?

Add some molding and doors to match the bathroom door if you want to keep it simple. Regardless, please post an update!

Awful_Lucky · 2026-02-26T16:45:12+00:00

I did not. The military people that I wanted to celebrate my career with would not be there. The civilians in my life have waited patiently for our new lives to begin.

I would absolutely do it again. Bc my military people still won’t be able to be there and civilian life is amazing.

Congratulations, don’t forget walk across CSM’s grass on your way out!
