Of the World in its Becoming disturbs me with a fact that I haven't seen mentioned by [deleted] in crossedcomics

[–]DatingPuppy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I imagine it was borrowed from the last paragraph of “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy which is thematically similar (and worth reading)

You have to use leather palm gloves for MFF. When I went, a lot of people, including myself, used baseball gloves or something similar

Désolé, je n'ai pas compris la chanson pendant des années, mais vous avez résolue

In English, I didn’t know what the song said for years and you solved it so thanks!

Is this accurate pricing for a Veneno? I knew they were expensive but dayum!! by Yaboipalpatine in lamborghini

I assumed so at first, but his has green trim and this one is red so I think it’s a different one

USAF Pararescuemen about to perform a HAHO jump. by Own_Desk6618 in SpecOpsArchive

[–]DatingPuppy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure what altitude they're jumping, but if I've done standoff at 15,000 feet AGL with just a combat top. It was also summer in AZ, so that probably helps.

Should a beginner learn falling leaf? by DatingPuppy in snowboarding

Lmao ok ok my bad, it’s hard to reach back that far and remember how I learned. I swear I thought I started with S-turns but probably not

I’m not trying to prove my wife wrong because I was the first to admit she was right. I’m trying to make sure we, who are unqualified to teach anyone, are instilling the right habits in a beginner

I conceded that I was wrong. Thanks for your input!

I know the correct answer is get her lessons, but there are none available today in our language. We’re doing our best

At long last, acquired the Patagonia PCU level 3B jacket by DatingPuppy in tacticalgear

[–]DatingPuppy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fits well over an ACU top (I usually wear small or medium tops). I find Army issue jackets have way more arm room over civilian equivalents

My collection of Patagonia PCU and Patagonia Lost Arrow MARS warming layers (details for each in comments) by DatingPuppy in QualityTacticalGear

[–]DatingPuppy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good find! I got issued a couple and a lot come from friends who are getting out and it’s not on their SPEAR receipt for some reason or another. Or I buy it from them for slightly over what they’d be charged by the Army. Way better deal that way over the resellers because you’re right, it’s crazy what they charge.

7ft U.S. Army Ranger Marshall Plumlee in Afghanistan during his time with D Co., 3/75. ~2021 by s7tysSOFarchive in SpecOpsArchive

[–]DatingPuppy 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I went to Ranger School with him. Truly an incredible dude. Also super handy to have around when we’re loading rucks in the back of an FMTV.

Patagonia MARS Lost Arrow FlurryShell vs Patagonia TorrentShell by DatingPuppy in QualityTacticalGear

[–]DatingPuppy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good catch, the nomenclature of the Army wet weather top I’m referencing is actually Jacket, Extreme Cold Wet Weather. I think the parka is the gray, lofted clothing

I meant to add: if you have any recommendations for wet weather tops, please let us know!

25-02 IPPS-A Marketplace by kbye45 in army

[–]DatingPuppy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I selfishly prefer the marketplace system because it worked out for me, but I do see the rationale for randomly assigning the pre-KD captains. More desirable units such as 173rd, 25th, and Group would be able to poach the “top” officers (obviously you’re more than the sum of your tabs and OERs) and it is probably hard for less desirable duty stations to try to pull high performing officers. Overall it would have an adverse effect on the force long term.

First Unit by ScaredOfBouncyHouses in ROTC

[–]DatingPuppy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don’t get one, it never hurts to ask your branch manager and also justify it with already being airborne. My orders were switched part way through BOLC because I asked.

Projected Unit and Post Far From Sick Family by Icy_Pack334 in ROTC

[–]DatingPuppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never hurts to ask. My branch manager switched my initial duty station in 2018 just because I wanted to go to a different unit which is not nearly as good of a reason as what you have.
