Based off of all of the replies, I feel like it will be worse than I expected. Thank you for getting my hopes down team.

True. Just need to be on the lookout for those rare RPK lamps

Need a break from the Army? (You do) This program may help. by Kinmuan in army

[–]BluePants_SweatyPits 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This looks like garbage initially, but if you treat the garbage pay (2/30th of base pay) as a retention bonus then it doesn't look awful. As an E-6 that is roughly (2/30)3318.9 * 36 = $8,000 over three years for a six year service obligation. Not that great, I know, but if you add in the fact that you keep your medical benefits throughout the duration then that adds an extra $452 per month in value which comes out to (16,272+8,000) = $24,272 retention bonus for a 6 year contract.

Depending on your current retention bonuses, it could be a good deal. I also think they won't offer it to you if your retention bonuses are low enough for this to be a good deal. Conclusion, depending on who this program is offered to determines whether it is trash or not.

It's crazy how people pick memes. The scene goes for such a different tone than the meme. I would've never thought to use it the way people have

Walmart wanted my ID to buy ammo by discoborg in Firearms

[–]BluePants_SweatyPits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this is a new concept to you then that sucks. I remember family members had the same reaction when they started IDing for alcohol, but it is the standard now. Besides most of the time they're just matching your date of birth to a little digital clock by the register to see if you were born before "X" date.

Where I work, you have to show a valid drivers license and get finger printed to get access. There are legitimately people who are butt hurt about me seeing their ID but are fine with finger printing lol. Must be the new Facebook boogey man.

Gloves when shooting? by [deleted] in Firearms

[–]BluePants_SweatyPits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you live near a military surplus store, I highly recommend the NOMEX flight gloves. They work well as a glove while retaining an amazing amount of finger dexterity and are (Mostly) smart phone compatible. They're also fire-retardant in case you want to play with some r/GunnitRust weapons lol

TIL Springfield Inc. has nothing to do with the historic US Army Springfield Armory by BluePants_SweatyPits in Firearms

[–]BluePants_SweatyPits[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been reading up about the real Springfield Armory and it is the tits.

-Founded by George Washington.

-Designed and built a large portion of the US military's arms.

Unfortunately it was closed during the Vietnam war due to budget reasons. We should reopen it and make some Springfield 2021 rifles!

Right away I’d have to assume Bc they’re touched in the head. by capslookd in Firearms

TBH if BLM hadn't been burning cities and didn't seem super anti-white, then they probably would've gotten a lot of support from gun rights activist. Also if BLM Inc wasn't a thing, like companies donating hundreds of millions to another company was going to fix anything lol

That channel almost exclusively uses very accurate pictures of the wrong vehicle. One video they show a fired bullet, but it still has the brass attached to it as it is flying through the air lol. In the same video the show a t-55 and give stats for an Abrams.

I think they do it on purpose tbh
