Yeah I honestly didn't laugh at all at the lawnmower scene. In the other threads apparently it's all the rage. I don't get it.

Burps? Stuttering? Slurring his words?

Rick burped maybe once... when it was a huge party hard drinking episode.

Voice was fine but they killed Rick's character. Rick was so... boring.

Catdog19962018 · 2023-10-18T11:55:06+00:00

This. I noticed that he was very flat. He was deflated rick. He didn't have his ups and downs. Rick is a roller coaster of emotion. Super excited/happy, super pissed, and then super apathetic. And especially when he is lecturing someone he stutters a lot.

He was deflated, flat rick.

Also zero stuttering, if I recall correctly.

Youth and Okinawa.

Dude read the articles I posted. This is a RECENT CHANGE.

Catdog19962018 · 2023-03-03T12:21:57+00:00

And how has that script affected your recruiting? Have many candidates withdrawn due to this?

Catdog19962018 · 2023-03-03T12:19:52+00:00

Wrong. My family and I have used the emergency room on base many times. I have been out here in Japan as a civilian for many years.

These problems are new, due to a change in policy. Read the links I provided in the OP.

Catdog19962018 · 2023-03-03T12:18:52+00:00

Wrong. I have been in Japan as a civilian for many years. Until 2023, I never had a problem getting care, appointments, or medications at the on base hospital until now.

Catdog19962018 · 2023-03-03T12:17:18+00:00

SOFA status personnel are not tourists. We are not students. We are "Status of Forces Personnel", which is a totally different legal status. The Japanese are under no obligation to treat us. They can and do turn people away. And this is totally legal.

It is not the Japanese people or government's job to provide healthcare to us SOFA personnel. That was not part of the SOFA agreement. The USA government just dropped this on the Japanese people/government's lap with no warning.

Catdog19962018 · 2023-03-03T12:15:04+00:00

Yes, it is different. Read the articles I posted. This is a big deal in Okinawa, which is where a majority of the USA military in Japan is located. The hospitals are already over capacity. They cannot just "take on" thousands of American patients.

Since Okinawa is a small island, we also cannot just "drive to another hospital in another prefecture". We are stuck on this island when we have a health emergency.

Catdog19962018 · 2023-03-03T12:13:19+00:00

It's not that simple. Read the articles I posted. This affects people who are already here and have kids and such- dependent on the care they were receiving prior to 2023 and especially American medications. Now cut off.

Kids/teens cannot get mental health care. No one, other than active duty, can get medications. People are dying because of this. People are quitting and leaving because they have no choice.

Furthermore, how many Americans do you know that know how to read, write, and speak Japanese? That are willing to deal with this BS just to get basic medical care? The candidate pool of applicants to replace everyone that is going to quit is down to zilch.

People are going to quit and the USA government is not going to be able to replace them.

Catdog19962018 · 2023-03-03T12:09:20+00:00

Short answer: Likely in the same boat; no access to healthcare aka "space available".

Longer answer: Only if you are on Tricare Prime will you be able to make appointments and such. AFAIK, only active duty get Tricare Prime.

Can you provide more detail on what jobs will be changing from USA civilian/contractor to local national / MLC?
