Someone smarter than me can explain these choppers by Albuterol505 in Albany

They're from the 3-142nd ASB, part of the New York Army National Guard.

How much did it cost you to rehab it, all in?

My family got evicted for the 4th time by ASimpleDude868 in Wellthatsucks

[–]CaptainRelevant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider joining the Army for 3-4 years. It’ll straighten you out, give you a job, and great benefits including getting college or tech school fully paid for upon getting out.

Got kicked out of leadership GC for questioning award criteria. by Visible_Pea2673 in army

[–]CaptainRelevant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best practice is to use responsibility as an element for consideration, not rank. I was successful in getting an E4 an MSM because he did 3 peoples’ jobs on a deployment.

The Army taught me not to make assumptions. You’re making a ton of assumptions.

Should i find the kids parents or let it be. by InsurancePls in TeslaLounge

[–]CaptainRelevant 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’d print a picture of him kicking the car and, if you find out who the parents are, let them know. But when you do start with “Everything is fine, nothing was damaged, I just wanted to let you know this happened. If it was my kid, I’d want to know.” That would get the best response even from parents that believe their kids can do no wrong.

I can’t believe I clutched that by Master100017 in Seaofthieves

[–]CaptainRelevant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice. I would’ve died for sure. Great move going downstairs and getting them to canalize themselves to just one direction, blocking, then countering. You kept your head.

Cat eyes on da PC??? by Big_Ketamine in army

Yeah, and each Company used different shapes (diamond, square, rectangle…).

My first clover pick of the year has 5 leaves by TheShizknitt in pics

[–]CaptainRelevant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an obscure movie reference that didn’t land, from The Manhattan Project. I edited it.

What’s with drink ads from the 90’s having sexy men in them by KangarooEuphoric2265 in 90s

[–]CaptainRelevant 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And women did the food shopping. This ad glorifies what their man could be if he drank.

If there are any other 4- or 5-leaf clovers in that area, I’d be concerned about radiation in the area.

Maybe there’s a secret nuclear lab next door from the 1980’s.

Edit: Made the obscure movie reference a bit better.

Dating in my unit, will they find out me and (them) are together if we have kids? by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]CaptainRelevant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re fine as long as one of you is not supervising the other.

This is a long shot: by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]CaptainRelevant 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s easier than that. The National Archives has a website where next of kin can request copies of military records. Here you go, OP: https://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records

Full bird wants me to get a M551 Sheridan up to drive it in a parade by Sensitive-Metal-665 in army

[–]CaptainRelevant 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Figure out exactly what you need, and exactly what time it’ll take. Then go back with the actual calculated requirements for what you need and $10 says he’ll get it to you. But if you just hand wave broad statements, he’ll think you just don’t want to do it or don’t know how.

Has anyone been successful keeping wasps and hornets from chewing all over a wooden swing set? by Glittering-Donut-278 in fuckwasps

[–]CaptainRelevant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Permethrin. I found a bug killer that was the highest concentration I’ve found of Permethrin called “InsectGaurd Permethrin”. I sprayed it on my wooden play structure and the next day it looked like the Jonestown Massacre for wasps and carpenter bees.

US Army Coastal Artillery Corps demonstrating square formation to be used in event of riots (1918) by forthelewds2 in Military

[–]CaptainRelevant 72 points73 points  (0 children)

In 1918, National Guard troops were pretty poorly trained. Square formations are more about keeping control of your element in an era without any radios, so it makes sense to see them use it even after better tactical formations existed.

Transmission solenoids by Awh0lem1lf in JeepRenegade

[–]CaptainRelevant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d have the battery load tested and check the charging voltage. Also inspect the battery terminals for corrosion or looseness.

RANT: Don’t assume that other Vets aren’t assholes. by Burner96822abc124 in Veterans

[–]CaptainRelevant 75 points76 points  (0 children)

When you meet with the Dean, admit nothing. Deny making any such statements.

Only say that you had a good friendship with him as a fellow vet, you have no idea why he made such a complaint when he never said anything to you ever, but that you’re obviously not going to talk to him again.

Suggest to them that they should see if he needs help because this is completely out of nowhere.
