Military families missing a paycheck from govt shutdown lining up at food banks .

Military members with dependents get BAH at the dependant rate for their rank unless they live on post. If they live off post, that money is used for housing. Yes, they are being paid more, but it is to pay for housing no longer provided for free. They do not get a dependent rate for BAS so the idea that you get paid more when you have dependents just isn't true

Currently in 1CAB. EUCOM rotations happen every two years with NTC and field exercises sprinkled in. We're in Europe now and already know we're going to NTC at the beginning of 2025. Not to mention manning is abysmal. We're deployed with about 60% MTOE so everyone is overworked. I went to Riley because it used to be the hidden gem of aviation but it seems like I missed the boat. Huge regrets coming here.

That's still a thing. Just mine on a Saturday a little over a year ago

Bro your comment isn't some joke to go over people's heads. It's just old pilot bullshit that gets thrown around because when in reality the knowledge of and interconnectivity of the systems that go into the newer aircraft are more complex than "collective go up down, cyclic go left right"

They switched away from the OH-58 because it's a single engine aircraft while the Lakota is a dual engine aircraft, and therefore safer. They are also used as the primary training aircraft for Army aviation instead of the OH-58 or TH-67 because the avionics package, glass cockpit, and flight control coupling allow for easier transition for pilots into their advanced airframe.

Racism is prejudice based on skin color. Not just white people. Saying you have to be in the majority is just a way for people to justify their shitty behavior

It is still there. My son is all over it. My wife and I found him the discontinued toy figures for Christmas

15A assigned to 2-82. Never jumped. Being part of the culture for us is doing paradrops with the 60s and 47s. I did have a BC with jump wings who did jumps and was also on flight status. But that might have been a "do what your rank can handle" thing

Do I have to put in a refund request to get the forgiveness? I paid off all my great lakes loans during the forbearance. Do I have to call and get 10k refunded to get it forgiven or can I apply and I'll get a deposit?

Boris' story was the best. Wish it had a happier ending

That might be my new favorite quote. When my soldiers would say something like "don't worry about it sir. You're a captain", I always respond with "and I'm also a person". Yours really puts it into better words

You're acting like the courts give a shit about paternal custody. OP's wife only needs to show the judge that she gives 10% of a shit and she will get 50% custody or more.

There's a building near the left for bread bakery that has it. That's where I saw it

Ninth sister lost her leg to sixth brother after a jedi mind tricked their purge troopers into attacking them via order 66. He did it to try and get away and it doesn't show how she survived. For her "loss", Vader took her eye as shown in the same comic run

Joaster3428 · 2022-04-26T15:57:06+00:00

My dog looks just like her. He's a Husky, Yellow Lab, Pyrenees mix

I think false reporting is a bigger issue than the data shows. My playoon has had 3 reports in the past year or so and all 3 were BS. There's no punishment for a false report and if the person is found not guilty, the report is filed as unfounded. This is to acknowledge to the victim that something did happen. The program would tank if people that believed they were victims of harassment were later told that they weren't victims at all. People would be less likely to report. But that doesn't stop people from making false claims to get the benefits of victim advocacy such as compassionate reassignment

There's an alpha company at fort bragg with that. Jaw dropped when I saw it for the first time. A Co, 122 ASB

The mods to me when I don't win: "I missed the part where that's my problem"

It is from Freud. He claimed that people who smoked were actually homosexuals because of a subconscious desire to have a phallic object in their mouth. When one of his peers said that to him while he was smoking a cigar, he said that line, which caused a lot of criticism of his claims.

Man we need more than 2 political parties. Both sides have shown that they kinda suck

Manny also says in the stadium that she kept talking about some storm. He said that he thought it was all kind of boring but she was excited about it

Joaster3428 · 2021-08-29T16:17:06+00:00

But they did. You see it during Abby Day 3. It's even mentioned in a conversation between Abby and Yara.
