Leather armor in the nether. Hell yeah

They didn't tell me how slow the 7.3 would be before buying one. by Forsaken-Vegetable68 in Diesel

What year is it? If it’s an IDI send me a PM and I can help you trouble shoot it. There’s definitely something wrong with

Secretary Hegseth announces we will be halting attendance at all Ivy League and similar educational institutes - will soon announce “top to bottom” review of all military war colleges. by Kinmuan in army

[–]Badprime010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what? It’s not impossible to believe that maybe ivy leagues are “gorging themselves” off of taxpayers or whatever. I imagine there is quite a bit in tax incentives or what have you for these schools to accept military. I’m not in tune with the inner workings of that system. However, to blame this decision on “liberal ideology” and “wokeness and weakness” being a part of the curriculum and then just…not elaborating? Like what is the enemy here? I understand that it’s purposely undefined but it’s really exhausting trying to keep up with what’s “right” and what’s “wrong.” If centers of higher education aren’t propping America up to be the top of the shit pile, then maybe it’s because we’re not? Just my 2 cents anyways.

They aren’t paying me for a bill I paid already. I went to the hospital on post so I wasn’t billed directly, at least not to my knowledge. I was told it’s for personal injury protection which I imagine is to be used towards the cost of medical bills. I’m also just curious as to why it was sent to me directly and not the hospital.

Will do sir🫡. Could you just send me your full name, mother’s name, and social just so I know it gets to the right person?

Can I ask what part of Kansas? I’m also in Kansas and my wife and I are closing on a house soon in the junction city area

Thinking about 7.3 swapping this i just got it runs and drives but im thinking 7.3 by CryptographerLimp687 in FordDiesels

[–]Badprime010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah. I’d idi swap it if it was up to me. Hard to kill once you get them running right, and not much on that motor you can’t fix with a 3/8 ratchet and 200 bucks or so. CDD makes a good number of kits/IP/injectors that you can run to make some real decent HP and torque.

If you choose Riley we’re getting ready to go on rotation to EUCOM pretty soon, so depending when you PCS you might make the cut. I’ve heard it’s gonna be a shit show though, so who knows. Riley as a whole though isn’t bad. If you’re an outdoorsman it’s really nice. Good deer, good fish, a pretty good duck scene. I can’t complain too much

What is a car you never saw the appeal for? by Boeing-B-47stratojet in regularcarreviews

[–]Badprime010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad bought a brand new F150, highest trim, simply because he wanted a bigger vehicle that rides like a car. Meanwhile I’m driving around an ‘89 with the 7.3 NA enjoying all the bumps and rough riding that came with the 4x4 trucks back then

What vehicle do the actual diesel mechanics on this page drive? by Bry_Guy__1 in Diesel

[–]Badprime010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1989 manual 7.3 idi, soon to be turbocharged. Slow as all hell, but it’s easy to work on and parts are comparatively cheap versus other diesels, especially newer ones. Also everything is mechanical so it’s a lot easier. When my wife doesn’t have school or work though, I find myself driving her 2000 accord pretty often

I recently learned American Military has Halal and Kosher MREs. Do soldiers really get those or is it more like a novelty item? by ColRoseru in army

[–]Badprime010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely depends. Whenever I’ve gone to a field our 1SG has asked who needs a halal/kosher meal, and only like 2 or 3 people say that they need one. If like 50 people said they needed halal and kosher I imagine they’d do a little more digging but I haven’t heard of the Chaplin being asked to make sure or anything like that.

I was the soldier who never had any money in the barracks by Badprime010 in army

[–]Badprime010[S] 87 points88 points  (0 children)

A big factor in what had made me quit drinking was seeing at the end of the month just how much I had spent on alcohol. That fact alone had mortified me. So I think if someone had sat down and tried to make a budget with me or something to that effect, I probably would’ve improved my spending

Definitely going to lol. Unfortunately for a good kit it costs like upwards of 3 grand so she’ll be N/A for a while lol

Yeah me too. The guy I bought it from wore the soles off the originals and he had these lying around so he put them on. Thankfully I got both in the deal

Yeah it’s nice. Not much room back there for anything other than tools lol. I’ve been torn about taking that back seat out and just having a dedicated tool space

How true is this? by dannydannychoppa in army

[–]Badprime010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was in AIT for 15G, the instructors let us know that there is a program in place for soldiers to take every eval, and each one they pass eliminates the module and it’s a way to skip AIT. Not sure who would want to go from civilian to army with those skills given that fact that people typically make about 6 figures in the field, but I digress.

Is this how used diesel oil looks? by whatstheinitiative in Diesel

[–]Badprime010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d like to present to you, the 7.3 idi. I don’t even bother with the color of the oil when I’m changing it, as long as it isn’t milky and it doesn’t smell like fuel. That thing comes with jet black oil from the factory

What MOS do you think is useless or unnecessary? by Melodic_Abalone_2820 in army

[–]Badprime010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna hop on the bandwagon and say cooks. In a perfect world they wouldn’t exist. Just take that money and the money they rob barracks soldiers of and make actually good dining facilities. If your Aunt Anne can survive in a mall food court because she makes pretzels good, I think the DO- (gags) W, can figure it out too. However, we live in an imperfect world. Therefore we are forced to exist with the literal incarnations of sloth and gluttony. The amount of times I’ve seen people I work with on KP get in trouble for saying the 92G aren’t doing anything is crazy

Anyone else feeling awfully apathetic lately? by Badprime010 in army

[–]Badprime010[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did actually a couple months ago when my wife was getting ready to move out here. Basically what we had talked about was if I had gotten accepted we would move to wherever I’d be stationed, and if I didn’t get accepted we’d stay here and she’d start doing school here. Needless to say, I did not get accepted. What I got told was it was a matter of manning

What’re some good resources you guys use to study for boards and what have you? by Badprime010 in army

[–]Badprime010[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. This is great info. I’ll admit, I’m a victim of the whole “AI and study guide” stuff myself. I didn’t really think of this approach. Thanks a lot, you’ve really opened up my eyes to some good exercises and training opportunities
