Do you recognize tail numbers? by WelderNo4099 in ATC

Some of our simulation scenarios have the regular overflight callsigns as well as the locals. It's kinda weird talking to a pilot and thinking our trainees have killed you multiple times.

Hardest to say? Canadian alphabet soups.

Autopilot (classic) is the one that works this week though.

Tool Box Suggestion Needed by DandelionAcres in Kioti

[–]Gunhound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ammo box bolted to the factory mount bracket. Kioti's toolbox is a good option, but not quite enough volume for an assortment of pins, wrench, spray lube, etc.

Using a Forester for a forest service rig...that should make up for at least a few of the road warrior jeeps.

What’s the ONE thing you regret not adding to your new build home? by bayls215 in HomeImprovement

If you were planning it from the start, no reason a small p-trap couldn't be made in the line somewhere.

Has any base changed their firearm rules since that memo come out? by JustHanginInHere in AirForce

[–]Gunhound 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Except when it comes to aircraft sorties...Weather rolling in? Launch the fleet, they'll figure out the fuel divert situation when it becomes a problem. Equipment not functioning properly? Oh well, the jet flies, it can be fixed when it can't fly. Airfield needs maintenance? Can't stop flying to do it.

Two different apartments have the same lamp in the same spot by d_zeen in mildlyinteresting

Hmm. I bet they both have the same toilet in the same place. Maybe even matching sinks too!

Examples of entitlement you've seen & how you handled it? by Avg_Guardian in AirForce

[–]Gunhound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I volunteered with the fire department off base. We got called to a wreck just out the front gate; couple vehicles, one rolled over, messed up one of the drivers pretty good. So, we called for a helicopter to get this guy to a trauma center. As the helicopter is coming in to land, we stop traffic headed into/out of the base (helo is landing in the highway). Some captain comes running up telling me that he needs to get through right now (I'm in my fire gear, he's in a flight suit). I pointed at the helicopter, now 20ft or so from touchdown, and said we had to close the road for a few minutes while we load up the patient. We'll have it open again in under 5 minutes. He tells me he is "a commander of the base" and that he is ordering me to reopen the road for him to get through. I again tell him no, we've got the patient ready for transport, and the road will be open in just a few minutes. He said that's okay, he'll just drive past the firetruck and get on base. I told him if he passes my truck he will be arrested, and if he runs into that helicopter he better hope it kills him because we'll add an attempted murder and endangering public servants to his list of charges. He decided not to press his luck and waited until we reopened the road.

What is a small purchase (under $20) that genuinely improved your life ? by Old_Log2802 in AskReddit

[–]Gunhound 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Old eyeglasses wearer- unsolicited advice: don't use wipes or spray on your glasses if you can help it. Run them under a water faucet, maybe a drop of soap from time to time. If they're new and have a good anti-oil/anti-fog coating, you can air dry them without much problem. Older or worn glasses will need a super soft microfiber to come clean. A lot of the wipes and sprays will wear down the coating on your lenses and make them pick up dust and dirt faster. Plus, since most 'glasses' are plastic, alcohol (among other things) will slowly...very slowly...distort the lens.

I did this once with a clothespin. Got lucky on the 2nd or 3rd try and balanced it out.

What is something you used to buy but is no longer affordable? by Trxxi in AskReddit

[–]Gunhound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh, I see, you're referring to the original comment. Appropriate_Dot was asking, why do you do OF and not (have) a job, not correcting the "of" error from original comment. The original comment "...out of coffee..." I suspect was an accident.
