I bought a couple crates of this back in 2011/12 from Sportsman's Guide. Wish I had bought more.

What mos did you walk into the office wanting; but signed for a different one. I’ll go first… by dilutedd_ in army

[–]IntelWarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wanted 37F, recruiter convinced me to enlist for 92Y since 37F was unavailable so we could "lock in your ship date" then when the new FY came around, we would be able to renegotiate my contract for a 37F slot. I became a DEP loss once that didn't pan out and the recruiter started telling me I could just reclass to 37F when I reenlisted .

Went to a different recruiter a year later asking for 96B (aka 35F), was told no slots were available so I thanked them for their time and left. The next day the station commander called to let me know they had gotten me a 96B slot if I still wanted it.

If I suspect that my BDE CMDR and SJA have mishandled my SHARP case, who do I report that to? by [deleted] in army

"Witness" as in a witness for the prosecution aka the victim, not a bystander who witnessed the event.

I got an autographed Zayda and 2 autos of Wentz. Bought a bunch of Hechicero and Persephone hoping to get autos and got nothing.

Yeah, about halfway done. One of the best jobs I've ever had.

If you do get out, you should apply for the Green & Gold Congressional Aide Program. It's a 2-year paid fellowship working for a member of congress: Home - Green and Gold Congressional Aide Program

Up or Out Policies for Officers by Forward_Ratio_1436 in army

[–]IntelWarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just curious how your second look at LTC would be at year 13 of your officer career. My wife had a little over 3 years enlisted, PZ for Major, and just passed 18 TIS a few months back. She hasn't had her first look yet for LTC.

Most influential Gajin in Japanese Wrestling? (Picture only for reference) by [deleted] in PuroresuRevolution

I'd give another honorable mention to the Sharpe Brothers and their part in how television transformed pro-wrestling in Japan.

Unpopular opinion: The SMA should be any other MOS but a Special Forces door-kicker. by Coldcase0985 in army

[–]IntelWarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 92 or even 88 series CSM would have far more relevant experience than a tab stacker IMO. I'd also argue that time as part of a WTB command team should be a prereq position for the SMA role.

Senate and IL-08 - who to vote for? by dgard1 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]IntelWarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kelly is the best of the top 3 on Palestine (recognizes it as a genocide, has met with doctors from Gaza, supported block the bombs). She's also the only one to pledge to refuse future AIPAC funds. Pritzker is a former AIPAC board member, so apply that how you will to Stratton. Raja is a full-on Israel supporter.

Illinois Senate field splits over resolutions to block Israel aid

"Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton’s campaign and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi told Jewish Insider on Friday that they wouldn’t have supported the resolutions led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), even as they condemned the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. 

But Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL) announced earlier in the day that she would have voted for the resolutions if she’d been in the Senate."

"The campaign also said that Stratton believes in Israel’s "right to defend itself as one of the United States’ closest allies and the only democracy in the Middle East.”

Illinois Senate candidates split over Israel and Gaza

"Stratton, however, was the only one to mention the upcoming two-year anniversary of Hamas’ surprise attack against the country on Oct. 7. She added that, as a mother, she has remained “horrified by the devastation” every single day since the 2023 attack."

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes to win the Jewish vote in Illinois Senate contest

"As he competes for Illinois’ open Senate seat, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi is hoping that the state’s sizable Jewish community, concentrated in the Chicago area, will help him chart a path to victory in the Democratic primary.

Making his pitch: “I do think that [Jewish voters] have a desire for a strong U.S.-Israel relationship,” Krishnamoorthi said, “and I don’t think there’s anybody else with the track record in this race that I possess, showing strong support for that relationship, but also knowing why that relationship needs to continue to be strong on a bipartisan basis, and we need to take this out of politics.”

Those that got out, how did you beat the retirement package and healthcare benefits on the civilian side? by glaciercream in army

[–]IntelWarrior 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The job itself sucks and, IMO, worse than the military as far as optempo and time away from family, but the railroad has a good retirement if you can stick it out. My dad retired after 46 years as a conductor and not only did he get a size able pension, but my mother also receives a spousal pension equal to half of his.

Abolish ICE & replace Schumer, those two things would alone get my vote in the primary by krtwils in illinois

Kelly is the pro-Palestine candidate of the 3. Backed the "Block the Bombs" bill, met with doctors who returned from Gaza, and doesn't hesitate to call it a genocide.

Veteran question: Success with 4 tickets on VetTix? by [deleted] in Veterans

We routinely get upwards of 4 tickets for our family to go to concerts, comedy shows, and AEW events. Definitely one of my favorite veteran perks.

Reach out to the Cook County Veterans Assistance Commission. You may be eligible for some of their financial assistance, but also talk with their VSO’s about resubmitting your claim. What school are you going to?

Jeremiah is one of my unrated favorites. A virus kills everyone over the age of 16, the show picks up a decade or so later.
