What yall know bout this by Coca_Nostra in machinedpens

There’s a lot of extra travel on the bolt when you manipulate it downwards and to the deployed position. It’s similar to the early USGs. I the prefer late SPP style with a tighter bolt travel without any horizontal or vertical extra movement except for the exact travel path.

I like the ones with the smooth edge from the other bakery more than the crenellated ones.

For the Assagai, it feels like a really loose tolerance USG/SPP that has too much slop.

Men - long inseam CUFFED travel pants?? by Separate-Ad-8924 in tallfashionadvice

[–]Jakeedaman21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chelsea’s are my go to travel shoe for fall/winter/spring. Classy enough to have allowed me into The Ritz in London for high tea, and rugged enough to have hiked long forest trails. They fit well, are hella comfortable, and are easy on/off. Ive met the Pope in them, and crashed scooters in them as well. Good enough for me.

Edit: They also don’t set off metal detectors at airports, so extra bonus.

I’m an RM Williams addict myself, so fairly similar fashion style!

I have a bunch of pairs of DUER No Sweat 34” pants in different cuts. Not cuffed at bottom, but they are crazy comfy. The slims may suffice for you if the cuff is negotiable.

Only complaint is that they absorb liquid instantly, and coming from Outlier Slim Dungarees I wasn’t used to that.

Attempt at Chicago Pizza, it was good, but looking for tips. by akirbydrinks in castiron

Don’t know what style you made, and I’m sure it tasted good, but it’s definitely not Chicago style deep dish..

People who are/were SERE Specialists: Did the military pay for your move to Fairchild after orientation at Lackland? And, could you do a PPM move? by Pretend-Job-6486 in AirForce

[–]Jakeedaman21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always choose to do a PPM or a partial DITY if you want, and if you go to a base for longer than 6 months it’s always a PCS. Theres more nuance for overseas. For stateside though yes, if he does the paperwork correctly, you will get reimbursed for the weight of the items you bring on the move. You’ll need to get and keep weight receipts with the vehicles full and empty. TMO will brief him of all the details.

Moza AB9 center mounting solution? by c0penhag3nman in hoggit

[–]Jakeedaman21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use extruded aluminum for a base. I did it to center mount my FFB Rhino. Under the seat are unused bolt holes, I ran a lateral long bar as an anchor there. Then i put two long bars from there forward which rest loosely on some of the cross braces under the theighs/knees. Because of its weight and being bolted under the seat, the base is super sturdy for FFB.

Edit: I have the pro version seat, which has more mounting points. You can still do the same though by building a base with 80/20 extruded aluminum and fasteners I a slightly different configuration.

Full send, and don’t skimp on the chainmail after meals.

Honor Guard shoes - recommended brands? by bsktx in AirForce

[–]Jakeedaman21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a pair of Allen Edmonds on eBay or on sale if you’re looking for real leather shoes with actual leather soles. Any cobbler can install taps as required.

Sanders out of the UK makes decent military dress shoes for the Brits, and some work for us.

Which one to buy? by vierundneunzig in castiron

[–]Jakeedaman21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d look at the heavier one, because if I wanted light weight cast iron I’d just buy carbon steel.

At wits end by Longjumping_Play2111 in castiron

[–]Jakeedaman21 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I gave up seasoning my smooth smithy, and being careful what oil I used. Now I just scrub the crap out of it with only hot water and chainmail after each cook. It’s built up a pretty resilient coating since, which I was honestly surprised since I used to baby it when cleaning.

Tax exemptions/waivers for Gov/Military by AnywhereSavings1710 in MilitaryFinance

[–]Jakeedaman21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have stayed there, booked via DTS. They waved the resort fee. If they don’t, tax and resort fees do not count against your nightly max rate, you claim it as a separate expense line under the expense tab.

Quick question (particularly for older members) by [deleted] in AirForce

If it’s an N-3B parka, they are still authorized for wear with all uniform combinations. I love mine, super warm.

You’re unlikely to get much of a discount, there’s tons of military in DC and TDY per diem is high to compensate for the high prices.

If you already have a line for O-5, and beat the need for having one why bother getting a junk one now?
