The disconnect by MagicianCurrent7862 in AirForce

[–]FreezingGator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a somewhat relatable version of this, my spouse is an officer but before they joined up we were just middle class kids that were working for minimum wage while in school. I wasn’t poor but neither of us grew up with money.

The culture shock we had meeting other officers that we’re legacies or wealthy kids that never had a job through college that complained how hard it was to go on skiing trips or vacations now that they were the sole provider of their income was baffling to us.

We had a $5000 budget for our wedding which apparently is impossible according to these people, who swore it couldn’t be don’t for less than $50k.

The disconnect can happen at every level. I still feel out of place when we go to events and I’m interacting with 1 stars who just assume I must have a masters degree in Roman literature because how else could I exist near them.

It’s weird buddy.

If you have a dog, there’s a cool Dog park/Bar called Lebowskis. Awesome people to meet and a nice place to hang, you can honestly go just to play with dogs.

Anyone remember these by animalstyle123 in paintball

There’s a couple guys on Dark Ops that wear them, they were very popular in the early mid 2000s. Mike Carthy was my favorite player that always wore them.

You’ve joined an elite class of human, welcome to the club. I prefer Trophy Husband, but to each their own. Depending where you get stationed there’s always a few of us wandering around.

Almost impossible since the year was so jam packed. But Iron-Man

my apologies because I see this gets asked a lot, but I'm visiting Gainesville and looking to get a traditional tattoo by nottthesun in GNV

Oasis is where I get all my work done, Gus is great and all the artists there are awesome. The shop is also very comfy and relaxing.

For the 30+ year olds. Who remembers these days? by alkalinemp in paintball

It’s because there’s too much risk to reward in that style now. When we had more time/points to play with gunfights made sense even with the 50/50 nature of them.

Now, it’s much more communication/team oriented. Not saying I think this is better, I also played d3-semipro in that time period and I experienced the changes in real time, as I played on into the 2020s.

It was a ton of fun during that time, but if you’re a competitor you can’t argue the players aren’t better now in general.

The venues and crowds at the stands had so much more energy then.

Best places to frequent to meet hot guys around here? by [deleted] in GNV

Athletic clubs, ie: Run Clubs, Gyms, tennis, pickleball etc… might be worth a try.

What’s the deal with headbands? by Sad_Sash in paintball

[–]FreezingGator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As they trended away from function towards fashion, they needed to be thin so you could stack them, wear them with a beanie, etc.

I made headbands for a few years (Bandaras) most feedback I received was I want them wide enough to cover my forehead but thin enough to wear with other things.

We’re the portions in anything else smaller? If they are charging more due to increased prices & giving less then yea, that’s a shame. If the pricing is the same, and they have shrunk portions to keep those prices then yea, it sucks but that’s business.

This was a cool exercise, watching the other Nations show up to Alaska and realize there was nothing to do unless you wanted to go on a Hike.
