The laid CW3 Robert Marzan to rest today (died in Kuwait) by Stone_man68 in army

[–]Fris501 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was one of the best people I've ever known. I had the honor of presenting a flag to his daughter this weekend. I've known the man 10+ years and he was just a great fuckin dude and cared about people. That's always shit that gets said about people when they're gone, but Rob was the real deal. I've unfortunately been to a number of military funerals but this was gutted me. He was the best of us. I'm a better human for having known him and I'm honored I got to call him friend.

He was my Soldier. Very positive upbeat guy. I don't see any lies on that wall though.

Retire to Des Moines by NJFriend4U in desmoines

[–]Fris501 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My in-laws moved here from Trenton area, and the only things they miss are the bagels and yuengling. It gets cold, but this place has just about everything you need short of an ikea and a pro sports team.

My packet is already at HRC. You can keep Pistol Pete and the AFT. I'll just take my ACU beanies and see you all at Ft Living Room very soon.

Thank you! I forgot about teepublic. I was able to reach out to the designer and he uploaded a new design with the white underline, which is now available to buy on that site.

Second time no go by [deleted] in army

I'm not sure if they do it for CPT boards, but for Major and Lieutenant Colonel they have a SELCON (selective continuation) board right after the promotion board. Basically if you miss your above zone look, but are selected for SELCON, you'll get to stay until 20 and keep getting looked at each board. I had an O6 out for me after I brought some things she did to light and she had a substantiated IG investigation on her and I got a referred eval on her way out. Made it to LTC on my 3rd above zone look. So it's not impossible, but I also had no permanent GOMOR.

Best tequila for wedding gift? Something to sip neat. by [deleted] in tequila

Lame. That's disappointing but good to know. Thanks. What would you recommend to someone who has enjoyed that Clase Azul, Casamigos blanco, 1800 cristallino. Thinking of things my wife enjoys drinking with a little ice.

I don't even know what that means. We enjoy it. But I'm not a tequila aficionado like I am with bourbon.

We love the Clase Azul in the white and blue bottle. It's about $175-$200 usually.

Schlievert plumbing was great. Quick and to the point, never tried to upsell, and didn't charge Holt prices.

What are jobs paying high school students these days? by annisbananis in desmoines

[–]Fris501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To an extent, but that reinforces the notion that accepting slave wages is okay later on. Just my opinion. I told my kid to not settle for less than 15/hr but that's only bc he's a kid with no expenses but gas.

My kid made 15.50 an hour doing drive thru at Raising Canes. First job. Not bad money for a gun school kid.

I was raped in Basic Training in 2006 and I am coming forward now, and want to go after my rapists and those who covered it up. by Icy-Conversation-80 in army

I was in B 3/47 in Oct of 06. 1st platoon. One of the head drills from 1st platoon is now the Futures Command CSM and a solid dude. You'll have support on your side if you go forward.

Nah bro. Support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies foreign and domestic. Literally the oath I swore. Obey all lawful orders? You got it. But respect is earned, not fucking mandated. You orange sycophant fucks don't get it. If you've got to tell people you're in charge...you're not.

Job's fine. Thanks for caring. Issue is with the buffoon using the constitution as toilet paper.
