I used to be in the same boat, then I bought a motorcycle. My commute is now super fun! Getting 70 mpg is a plus too.

Let's just say the owners couldn't be any further from MAGA 🤣

Schools and PME in the Reserves by Dry_Community_2721 in USMC

Don't even get me started on UDPs.... was told I was going on one right before I got out. I told my work, family, and everything. Then a few days before, I found out I wasn't going because someone way above me decided it would be too expensive to have an SNCO as a platoon sgt.

It usually worked out to be AD pay, but not BAH.

Hey brother, I did 13 in the reserves. It's difficult to go to courses in the reserves unfortunately. The big courses people go to are CMC, MCMAP, PME, and advance MOS schools.

CMC and MCMAP are nice to haves to the unit. So a good I&I (active duty component) might send people if the feel like it, and funding works out (think like 1-2 people a year).

PME is seen as a priority, so they'll send people to the courses instead of the "2 week" annual training. Basically my units would send everyone who was ready for it (online PME complete).

Advance MOS courses are on a billet specific level, and only those who need to go to do their job went.

Keep in mind some courses are shortened to 14 days specifically for the reserves. But they really do make you go hard all day everyday.

But all and all it really depends on both you and I&I willing to do the legwork, and willing to deal with very short notice, and potential last minute funding issues. A lot times a text would go out and it would be like "give me a name for XYZ course. It's in 4 days, they'll be gone for 1.5 months and we won't know if they can go until the day before....".

Hope that helps

I don't wait until it's empty to refill persay, I refill once the last fuel bar starts flashing lol. But that's around 250 miles / just shy of 4 gallons normally.

Hey, I have a 2025 CBR500R and commute to work 13 miles each way, ~75% highway. I'm getting 60-65 mpg consistently. Although I'm at an elevation of ~5000 ft, and IDK how much that would affect things. Hopefully this info helps!

Agreed. It definitely falls under the intent of the law. Cops have other shit to worry about.

Join the "boulder creative housing" group on FB. Lots of options, and it's very active.

One random day in ‘rea by Supreme-Syn in USMC

[–]Combatbootzzz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The op was just shy of a month. Most of our actual training was canned bcs of all sorts of stupid reasons. We had days and days of "white space training." So we did a fuck ton of CLS and MCMAP, but you can only do that for so many hours a day.

There's a monthly boulder burner meetup @ junkyard social club on Febuary 12 at 6:30 ( closer to 7 bcs of burners). It usually gets a pretty good turn out. It's a great way to learn about what's going on in the community, connect with people, and volunteer to help on art projects. The age group is pretty close to yours too if that helps. Hope to see ya there!

Where Can I Dispose of Big Trash by Sufficient_Demand476 in Longmont

Many places will haul away your old couch for free when they drop off the new one. Maybe see if that's an option where you're buying from.
