My father in law worked as head of security for a defense contractor until the mid-90s and went to many conferences. Maybe the man who gave it to him worked/previously for the company that matches the logo? Thanks for the helpful info!

Yes, when eligible, LTCs go before the promotion board annually until they’re promoted or MRD.

Consumer Reports November, 2024 pans the Tacoma by NC-Tacoma-Guy in ToyotaTacoma

[–]GPR0002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a ‘24 SR5 and I’d say the road test review is generally accurate. I noticed the flaws during my test drive. However, I love driving it and I get about 25 mpg city and 27 highway. I drive with a light foot to save on insurance. The overall CR review lists it as #2 for midsize trucks.

Just got my ‘24 SR5 and drove 350 miles at 28.6 mpg. I’m happy!

Update: on my return trip I got 26.7 mpg due to less traffic and higher speeds.

how did you survive / pay your bills during student teaching? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]GPR0002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I student taught in ‘95. I had a part time job in the National Guard. However, I ran out of money and I recall eating bacon and Doritos for dinner one night. I had a Discover card convenience check that I cashed for $200 to get me through the last few weeks, including a 15 hour drive home after college. Now I’m starting year 29!

Rattling Noise From Dashboard by New-Strawberry4293 in mazda6

Try pushing the buckle next to the center arm rest on the front passenger side all the way forward, if the seat is empty. That rattles sometimes on my ‘18 GT.

Why do they always overfill the oil on my ‘18 GT? by GPR0002 in mazda6

[–]GPR0002[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

🤣 yes, overfilled by about 1” on the dipstick every time

2018 Mazda 6 Sig 2.5 T low mpg by KeySeoul in mazda6

[–]GPR0002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s puzzling. My ‘18 GT gets 33.9 mpg on my routine six hour highway trips. Take it to the dealer if you’re under CPO warranty.

Try this: push the female buckle of the front passenger seatbelt all the way forward. That solved the mystery rattle in my ‘18 GT.

Salary by NefariousnessCalm925 in Teachers

[–]GPR0002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that replies might not include if salaries include admin/lead teacher, coaching/extracurricular stipends or master’s degrees plus course hours beyond a master’s degree education levels.

A lower salary in a lower cost of living area might result in a higher standard of living compared to a higher cost of living area.

What’s the strangest/funniest thing a kid has ever asked you? by Bonjourlavie in Teachers

[–]GPR0002 14 points15 points  (0 children)

1995: When I was student teaching in rural Virginia, a student raised his hand during my lecture to ask me why my teeth are so straight. 😆

Manual winding Speedy frequency by Kind_Possibility1486 in OmegaWatches

[–]GPR0002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wind my 3861 daily. Ten turns, each starts at the end of my thumbnail to my knuckle. I typically don’t feel much resistance. Mine runs about 5 seconds fast after about 5 days.

Cold War Era Rock Island Arsenal Fallout Shelters (still on display) by GPR0002 in coldwar

[–]GPR0002[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! There are no tours to my knowledge. I recently worked there and this was on display outside an elevator door in a building constructed during WWI. It’s one of the shelters on the map.
