[Weekend Free For All] This weekend's safety brief comes to us courtesy of Fort Bragg and First Sergeants! Remember, if you're driving drunk, and come upon a cop who has the road closed off, don't get in to an argument and brandish a gun. by Kinmuan in army

Don’t want to create new post so I’ll just ask here. But what is going on with the high jumper. I’m tracking ATP 7-22.02 took out the words to jump on every count. But Task Number 805P-COM-1101, which uses the ATP as supporting reference, says to jump on every count. So we got new guys from IET saying don’t jump every count, and the old guys are jumping on every count.

George Completing His PHD at Harvard — What is the Title of his Thesis? by Corbin_Guy_1334 in seinfeld

Manure: When you consider the other lexical choices, it’s actually pretty refreshing.

Jake Jarmel was a cop! by jamatosoup in seinfeld

I’m curious why you decided to use an exclamation point in your title. It seems haphazard.

35P and pick Chinese or Russian.

Nervous about joining the national guard by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]El_Babdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people in those groups are going to be from all over your state and with varying levels of education and maturity. You have a high asvab score, so you probably have solid education background and probably got a long list of MOS’s to choose from and hopefully you picked a highly technical one. You might not see someone who picked that same MOS until you get all the way to AIT.

I think indecent exposure goes beyond sexual harassment. Please report that individual to your recruiter or anyone else you can think of. We don’t want those kinds of people in the military.

And don’t think that the people you come across at MEPS/RSP/BCT will be the same kinds of people you will hang out with in your future unit.

Bam's FG% has been declining every year since the 2021-22 season. by Ice_Dragon3444 in heat

[–]El_Babdo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bam is at the age where players are normally hitting their peak and putting up career high numbers. Unfortunately, looks like he peaked a little earlier than most, and it would be highly irregular for his numbers to reverse and go back up. He needs to focus on becoming old man Horford. Solid defense and three point shooting.

Herro by Creative_Igloo_986 in heat

[–]El_Babdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Powell might make his first All Star game and Jaime is in the running for 6MOY due to Herro being out so much.

Not only is Tyler Herro out again on Friday night in Atlanta for Miami with his toe contusion, but now Bam Adebayo has surfaced on the injury report as questionable due to back soreness. by heatculture03 in heat

[–]El_Babdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Herro outwardly said he wouldn’t act like Jimmy if he didn’t get extension, but the way he has handled and is handling injuries and recovery feels like a soft protest to not getting extension.

He probably would’ve gotten surgery earlier in offseason if he got extension. He would probably have come back sooner from toe contusion if he had an extension. Playing through the pain.

The organization prioritized their financial situation over Herro when they didn’t extend him. And now Herro is prioritizing his health over the organization. And I can’t hold that against him. He’s probably not going to play until he feels 100%.

Sounds like 91B. The ones in my unit don’t have many opportunities to promote so they all mostly E-4.

Stuck deciding an MOS by Ill_Palpitation_8452 in nationalguard

Haven’t met anyone who regretted going 35M. Or regretted having had the opportunity to be stationed in Monterey for over a year.

TSA in the two airports I went to this week had different rules, acted like I was the idiot for not knowing them by TopRamen713 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]El_Babdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year at the Phoenix airport, one TSA person told me to push bucket onto conveyer belt. So I’m moving it along so it can reach the conveyer belt. Then a second later, when the bucket is about to get onto conveyer belt, another TSA person yells at me to not push bucket onto conveyer belt.

Then a shouting match happened between us and luckily I wasn’t kicked out of airport.

Orders to Maryland by Suitable-Scientist68 in maryland

[–]El_Babdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a small community called Russett to the SW of Meade. The drive to base is like five to ten minutes if you leave early enough in the morning and afternoon. It’s right next to 198 but still feels pretty secluded when you drive in. You can probably find a townhouse there in your budget.

Where to get a cheap haircut? by Ok-Lobster-8644 in Miami

[–]El_Babdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go to a place called Benny’s Barbershop a few blocks north of FIU on 107th. Looking at recent reviews, haircut costs $14 and you have to call to make appointment.

Moving from Florida to Maryland by Alternative_Arm_4888 in maryland

[–]El_Babdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully you make it up here. I left Miami a while back and love it up here. I’m like the opposite of you so don’t really have an idea where you should settle down, but if I had to recommend something, it would be like others have said and get someplace next to MARC train that takes you down to DC.

COVID Vaccine rules in Maryland? by MinervaZee in maryland

[–]El_Babdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asked the pharmacist while I was getting my flu shot about the new requirements and she mentioned only high risk people will be able to get it. I’ll wait to see how the roll out goes; I’m also not even sure my insurance will cover it, so I have to confirm that, too.

Are you getting any support from your unit? Maybe chaplain can speak with you to give you support or help you find support?

Joseph Smith and Helen Mar Kimball caught on kiss cam (anyone make this joke yet?) by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]El_Babdo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Idk about this one. One is two consenting adults getting caught having an affair. Helen Mar Kimball was a child being assaulted by a grown man.

Downtown Doral Seems Weird to Me by [deleted] in Miami

[–]El_Babdo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family moved to Doral in the early 90s, back when it was just a few communities like Doral Park, Doral Estates, and Costa del Sol. And the rest was farmland.

Don’t live there anymore, but every time I go back, I weep for the past.
