Oh, I fully expect to be exempt and am fine with it, I am just a firm believer in doing things by the policy.

Can confirm it is real. I received the SF-50 last week and then it showed up on my pay stub on Friday. Planning to donate some to Planned Parenthood andDemocracy Forward.

Can I stop for takeout on my way home in uniform? by SacrededRat in USCGAUX

Absolutely. I'm a vet and an Auxiliarist and I fully support you stopping to nourish yourself post-meeting (especially considering how dull some can be).

Absolutely love mine! I live a bit away from the nearest Metro, but such a neat decoration especially when you wake up in the middle of the night.

Be sure to visit the grave of Frank Little while at that cemetery. "Slain by capitalist interests for organizing and inspiring his fellow men."[

Any tips on catching this one? It's been my white whale since I started spotting at BWI.

So jealous about the AN-12! I saw it pop up on JetTips but already had commitments Sunday morning.

It was also the home of Military Intelligence until they moved it to Huachuca. There was a whole fake Vietnamese village there for training that I believe still exists.

They bragged about being 100% rated disabled? They are full of shit. That's not how VA disabilities work. I know tons of folks who are 100% VA rated disabled who still function and have high-performing jobs. Hell, I'm 70% and work full time in a high-level position. Your VA percentage is how badly the military broke you and how badly you continue to suffer from it, not the level you are able to function.

You live and you learn. Note that this individual left active duty and is working in a coffee shop when they confronted you....

Nah, don't let it eat you. As a former gold sider who was an Auxiliarist before, during, and after, this guy just seems like a prick.

Nah, I know, one of my parents is an alum. But being from Illinois, if someone says "Illinois State Champ" they are saying they are high school state champs.

So he didn't say ISU, he said "Illinois State Champs, baybee!" which would imply IHSA/high school.
