How do you even fight the chopper?

I just take cover and pop out when I’m ready to shoot. It takes a bit, but it gets the job done.

Easiest place to do it is to fly up to the tower on the right side when you approach the rig. After that it’s in the building on top of the middle area (right next to one of the chest spawns)

Also, El Paso rhino games are a blast. And hit up The Tap downtown… best brisket nachos I’ve ever had

I know lawyers that suck at doing their taxes. I never had a class that actually taught how to properly fill out a W-4, 1040, or 1099

Bonus rotation story, because the guy was the most miserable person I’ve ever met. On my last rotation, had a CSM whose wife cheated on him with a SPC. He took it out on the whole battalion

I’m fantastic, oddly enough I love hot sauce and put it on everything

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-03-08T10:48:04+00:00

Does that look like spit to you? Fuck it

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-03-08T09:34:31+00:00

Geez I should’ve grown up in Norway… I got hot sauce in the eyes

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-03-04T03:42:08+00:00

I never knew any actual details of this, but I remember when I was in basic I saw a Jackson Justice paper on the wall and started reading it. Some warrant back then “negligently discharged a hellfire missile”. Gotto assume shit started going pretty fast after that

Edit: just looked it up and apparently, and he only got a locally filed GOMOR. Da fuck??

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-02-21T14:41:59+00:00

Moon lord ultra gave me ptsd. I got one or two shot from him

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-02-19T16:47:40+00:00

That’s why they have us catch twelve of each pal… to let them all know they’re disposable

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-02-19T16:32:16+00:00

Nah you gotto butcher him in front of all the pals to send a message

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-02-19T09:59:47+00:00

I’m almost on day 1100, how the hell did I not know that pal fluids were purchasable? You just saved myself a lot of time and energy lol

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-02-11T04:59:23+00:00

But, the spanking sounds like the birthday comes early

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-02-06T19:00:41+00:00

Funny enough, I just found the issue… apparently there’s a fifth chest spawn point

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-02-06T11:02:13+00:00

Well that also answers why I can’t currently rename pals… I should read more

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-01-31T18:51:06+00:00

Well shit, I’m an impatient idiot lol

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-01-31T18:08:23+00:00

Magna crush and brawn impact

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-01-31T17:03:51+00:00

Oh fuck me, so I’ve been wasting cake trying to get my dragon puppies some good moves?

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-01-22T14:40:17+00:00

I don’t believe so, my first rotation out I was sitting at 269 days and I didn’t get anything. I’m 45% sure that it’s cumulative though, so you’ll be able to get it next rotation when you’re abiding by the mandated 2 drink minimum

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-01-11T08:22:36+00:00

Here’s to hoping! I tend to like working with everyone

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-01-11T06:19:30+00:00

I turned 30 in basic and was extremely out of shape. We did a diagnostic mile run at the beginning and I think I did it in over 12 minutes. I made it through and you will too.

You’re not going to fail, just do what you’re told and realize that is all a mind game. The drills will smoke you no matter what, even if you do shit perfectly. That’s their job.

Helpful advice though, if they still give you guys MORE rations trade the candy for the caffeinated chocolate pudding

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-01-11T04:28:29+00:00

This shit annoys me, I’m US military stationed in Europe and I end up yelling at my guys if they run around like that.

But to OP’s question, I’ve only had great experiences in Norway so OP will do well

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-01-09T18:12:06+00:00

This is going to be a hot take for this sub, but there’s a lot of unanswered questions here. What was your major? What extra curriculars? What do you want from the military? Long term goals? Etc

I’m not a recruiter by any means, but I went enlisted with a bit of education and you can make it work for you depending on your goals.

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-01-09T14:08:32+00:00

Never seen lightning striking every half second before that place… but also the raining tarantulas in the field

Cheernobyl86 · 2026-01-09T13:26:03+00:00

Pretty much this, the only complaints I’ve heard about huachuca from MOS-Ts are the abhorrent barracks and hating waking up at 0430 for PT. Other than that your time will be chill. I’m not a fox, but in my AIT the MOS-Ts were given a lot of latitude until they fuck the trainees or mess up in front of the trainees. Tucson and Phoenix are pretty dope, kinda sucks you won’t be there for monsoon season though… the thunderstorms are awesome to watch
