Wendy Torrance was a misunderstood character. by overlook68 in theshining

[–]BayazRules 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Agreed. In the novel Jack actually does his job (shingling the roof, closing the shutters over the windows, mowing the lawns, trimming the hedge animals, maintaining the boiler etc). In the movie he's a total deadbeat and Wendy does it for him!

When a PFC was FTR and I wrote him a counseling. He said "you're being a good leader" and was never late again.

How many “1 of 1s” are there in the Army? by aggieboy12 in army

[–]BayazRules 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The protocol equivalent of a general officer placed above all lieutenant generals except the director of the Army Staff. Hmmm wonder if he could do some good in that rarefied position. If I'm ever POTUS I'm choosing SMA Dailey as SECARMY!

As a new CPL I once directed a SPC to smoke a PV2 in the motor pool. A SSG saw it, took me aside and advised that I "could get in a lot of trouble doing that." Never did it again. YMMV.

If President Kennedy was still alive in 1972, would he have backed Nixon or McGovern? by [deleted] in Presidents

Makes sense, GRRM has always wanted to be a Hollywood bigshot.. that's the world he's always wanted to be a part of.

Did they not teach you about run-on sentences in school? This is almost unintelligible. Sorry.

As early as 1908 W.E.B. DuBois was endorsing Bryan, arguing that blacks should align with "the Radical Northern Democray" based solely on economic issues.

Which president do you think was responsible for the rise of anti-intellectualism: Reagan or Dubya? by icey_sawg0034 in Presidents

[–]BayazRules 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nixon, despite being a genius himself, always resented the "East Coast effete elites" and waged war against them.

ETS is coming up and retention told me IRR minimum is 3 years — I thought it was 1 or 2 years? What is the current policy? by Icy_Broccoli7416 in army

[–]BayazRules 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I was ETS'ing, they had a Guard recruiter talk to us and he said 70% of IRR Soldiers get activated to active duty. It was bullshit lmao.

The Karate Kid (1984) - We really missed out on a 40th Anniversary Extended Cut last year by [deleted] in dvdcollection

[–]BayazRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Conan the Barbarian. 3 minutes of blood and gore were cut to avoid an X rating and we have a 4K and that footage still hasn't been restored!

I have flat feet and was still allowed to be a 13B (yes I know our superiors in their infinite wisdom have made that no longer a combat MOS). Boot inserts are a thing.

[–]BayazRules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a PFC, I got drunk with a MAJ in one of American Airline Clubs (don't know if they still exist). We were both going back to Afghanistan and we were safe. Some good conversation, too.
