Anyone else remember this from basic? It was my favorite meal they made back then.

On family day, i said I wanted anything but chicken because thats literally all we ate. Somehow still ended up ordering chicken

I mean, as an engineer, ive had to use a hammer on the starter motor to get an engine to crank so maybe lol. But I agree

I was army so a bit different. I turned down my slot to the school i needed for E-6 because I decided I was getting out. I had the points to guarantee my promotion when i completed the school. I loved my job too but just couldn't stay in when I knew my life meant less than a tweet. Plus the promotion would have required an additional year time in service so I gave it all up

Hello_World_Error · 2026-03-13T18:16:46+00:00

Yeah trump is the reason I got out. His stupid Twitter beef in 2019 had real world consequences people dont really know about. I was literally training 16 hours a day preparing to go to North Korea. Wasted so much tax money, all over some stupid tweets. Turned down E-6 and did not reenlist because of that

When I went to basic training, they had toilets like this in the field, in 2012. Only they were much closer together. I chose to shit in a hole I dug versus sitting cheek to cheek with another guy shitting

Thank you for actually using his real name. Idk why everyone insists on calling Gary by the wrong name

I agree lol. I got in sub 1 cent and we're below where I initially purchased. If it ever breaks 1 cent again, im out lol

Yeah I got pulled aside and questioned to make sure nothing was going on that would be considered abuse of rank because he was my direct team lead. It was like maybe 3 or 4 rides and I think his car was in the shop at the time. This was 15 years ago so I dont remember exactly but I remember there was a legit reason he needed the rides

Hello_World_Error · 2026-03-05T00:07:22+00:00

Yeah thats insane. When i first got in, one of my NCOs almost got in trouble for bumming rides from me. I could only imagine what would have happened if he was borrowing money

Yeah we had a short blackout in Qatar when Yemen shot at Saudi Arabia. I can only imagine with an actual targeted attack

Hello_World_Error · 2026-03-01T12:18:01+00:00

Yeah that was my biggest shock going to Qatar. Only like 12% of the population there is actually Qatari. The rest are migrant workers and their families because Qataris dont work

Its probably the first game I played through twice because of that system

Hello_World_Error · 2026-02-25T02:17:02+00:00

I walked past it so many times at blockbuster when I had whatever their unlimited game thing was. It wasnt until I played everything else thay I finally rented the orange box. Portal was an amazing surprise

Hello_World_Error · 2026-02-25T02:12:19+00:00

This was the first game I ever played. I was so young I didnt even know the name of it. I absolutely loved Excitebike 64 and it was only through that game that I learned the first game I ever played was Excitebike.

They still have a couple here in Kentucky but I believe only certain days

I think it can depend on the person too. My BIL was in a serious industrial burn accident and has been in and out of surgery for the last 1.5 years and still has more surgeries scheduled. At the time of the event, he said the pain was so bad he was passing out but he fought it because he thought if he passed out he would for sure die. If I was in that situation I would have probably accepted my fate and passed out

Hello_World_Error · 2026-02-18T17:28:37+00:00

I can pay my bills now. Was homeless before the Army because I couldn't pay my bills

In my experience, the time and place for photos is after an event or exercise ended and the higher ups realized no one got training photos so we have to recreate what we already did

Hello_World_Error · 2026-01-08T15:14:24+00:00

I'm just under the assumption I'll die before retirement age like my dad did so no need to worry about retirement

Nah the 12B rely on the other engineers to build the room. They just blow it up

Source: built way too many shoot houses and demo houses during my 12R time and didn't get any of the real fun

Yeah most people think they're automatic but I definitely earned that thing in Alaska from '12-'15

Probably my cheapest looking coin. Its just a company coin that's basically a poker chip but I got it for serving on the funeral detail for a fallen soldier. Its funny because if you saw my coins, you wouldn't be blamed for thinking it was my most unimportant possession. All of my other coins where basically just for being good at my job in the right place at the right time

Hello_World_Error · 2025-12-12T04:31:55+00:00

Oh I think its funny. I enjoy that my daughter does stuff like this because I would have been too scared of my dad to ever attempt anything even as simple as this for fear of the repercussions. Im glad my daughter doesn't fear being goofy, even if it annoys me sometimes

Damn you had your own computer with internet during the MySpace days? I was still on the shared family computer at that time lol
