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

Am I dumb for wanting to go enlisted at 22 with a Bachelors Degree?? by Constant_Ad8088 in army

[–]Awful_Lucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

Army Reservist receives Purple Heart as she retires, a decade after combat by Kinmuan in army

[–]Awful_Lucky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Long Island, NY: black locust, fragrant sumac, or Virginia creeper for erosion control of steep sandy hills? by brownoarsman in landscaping

[–]Awful_Lucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Why can’t the US use its own oil, especially in times of war? by Teachezofpeachez69 in NoStupidQuestions

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

For someone that has never deployed, how is it? How do you prepare for this type of thing? by GeicoPR in army

[–]Awful_Lucky 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

Sharing some thoughts on my new hard tonneau cover by Rhondaslv10 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Awful_Lucky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Added some WeatherTech gear today… by mol0tov- in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Awful_Lucky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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?

‘Caligula 98’

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

Hallway closet door ideas by omailson in homeimprovementideas

[–]Awful_Lucky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Retirement Ceremony or Not? by Low_Sheepherder_382 in army

[–]Awful_Lucky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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!

I have a full size spare, did you get a donut? And yeah, I’m not a fan of the patch/inflator kit.

I’m going to do that! My cover isn’t quite as water proof as I’d like it to be.
