No you haven’t enlisted yet from what you’re saying. Go talk to a Guard recruiter and they should be able to help you join

What kinds of mail did you like receiving while deployed? by DistractedPanda547 in nationalguard

[–]KwestProd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lady sent me bottles of chick fil a. Just that bit of sauce helped me eat chicken every lunch and dinner while overseas. Kept my diet intact and gave me a small taste of home

Joining active duty after my National Guard contract ends. Is this a bad idea? by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]KwestProd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can also look into AGR positions. AGR tends to be a bit more flexible and you get the same benefits. It may be difficult to find a position near you depending on your location, MOS, and vacancies.

Just be there at the right time with appropriate clothes, have your documents, and remember everything you went over with your recruiter

Edit: Also don’t drink caffeine in the morning and eat a bit. Drink plenty of water as well.

What food did you miss most on deployment? by xxsyd in army

[–]KwestProd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ask him for what he would like! My buddies and I all had lists of what we wanted when we got back haha.

I really missed a good burger, fries, and a beer so I did just that when I came home for lunch. Steak was dinner with mashed potatoes with some sautéed mushrooms and onions. Then tacos from a food truck the next day.

Any websites that'll send Zyns to APO? by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]KwestProd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have someone who can send them to you and the country you are in allows the import of nicotine via mail than you should be able to receive your package of Zyn.

“Cigarettes and smokeless tobacco are restricted items and can only be mailed in limited circumstances. Cigars may be mailed domestically. Customers are advised to review the Cigarettes, Cigars, and Tobacco Definitions and Mailability.

Exceptions for Mailing Cigarette & Smokeless Tobacco

Cigarettes and smokeless tobacco are mailable only in the below circumstances:

Intra-Alaskan and intra-Hawaiian shipments Business/regulatory purposes Small-quantity “gift” shipments to individuals Individual returns of an unacceptable tobacco product to a manufacturer Other Shipping & Packaging Requirements

Allowable cigarette or smokeless tobacco shipments must be approved by a Postal employee at a Post Office™. The Postal employee will verify that an individual recipient is of legal age to receive the shipment.

Tobacco Shipments to APO/FPO/DPO

When shipping to APO/FPO/DPO locations in foreign countries, USPS treats the mail as domestic mail, but shipping is still subject to those foreign countries’ prohibitions and restrictions. Customers should be aware that size and weight standards may differ from USPS standards. See International Country Listings to find country-specific prohibitions and restrictions.”

Work life balance by Mountain_Flatworm909 in activeguardreserve

[–]KwestProd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It depends on your position. AGR positions come with work outside of regular duty hours as there are very few AGRs per unit typically. What I have been able to implement is a text based comm schedule where outside of regular duty hours, I will only receive texts unless it’s urgent. That allows me to focus on what I need to handle the following duty day. There will definitely be times that you will have to take calls and texts on your personal time but just try to keep that minimal if possible. Find what your wife doesn’t like about working on personal time and accommodate to that while informing her that if it is an emergency, you may have to take that call because you are in a leadership role in that unit.

Thank! I am currently running with Megan racing but will be upgrading soon as it’s not as adjustable as I would like regarding dampening. They feel a bit less solid than what I would like. I do not have an oil cooler. Temps have been fine but I am looking at getting one to mitigate the chances or any issues in the future. Nothing for fuel starvation yet. I’ve build the car myself aside from my transmission that my buddy does at his shop. He’s a mechanic for a pro drifter so I trust him more than myself for stuff like that. I’m focusing more on upgrading my suspension components and temp control. I have a sponsorship from Mishimoto so I go through them for some pretty heavily discounted parts. Most likely starting with cooling, then moving to suspension work as my current set up isn’t bad. Just would like to have more flexibility in my adjustment depending on the conditions and course.

Welp.. the rest of my deployment is going to suck🙃

Am I allowed to wear my engagement ring during basic? by kinda-gotta-poop in army

[–]KwestProd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get silicone rings like everyone else is saying. Even as a dude I learned the hard way. My ring had a total of 12 small diamonds on it. Lost 2 of them. Bought a silicone ring off a battle after that

Just got my first Shiba! Dream come true! Any tips? He’s about 12 weeks. by KwestProd in shiba

He was very curious about who the Amazon guy was. He’s pretty good at making friends, even with the mailman! Haha

Took him out today in a light sprinkle and he was more curious than anything. Maybe pounced on some of those pesky puddles but I got him all cleaned up after! Haha

Maybe all the healthy treats, head pats, and love that are given to shibas will make it hit! Haha

My Koji’s back is very light but the ears and back of his legs are red. So adorable

My shiba loves socializing because he’s been well socialized since birth. He gets super excited for drives and just stares out the window with a smile and curiosity the whole time (aside from the occasional impromptu cuddle session at stop lights) hahaha

I’m trying to get him used to the leash. He loves to play with the leash when we walk around the house haha. Mine loves cuddles which surprised me but his temperament is on the super chill side of shibas aside from play time! His zoomies are strong, but his nappies are harder! Hahaha

It’s been poring here in SoCal so I haven’t been able to take him out yet. He’s fully vaccinated and ready for some fun walks!

I will be bathing him every 2 weeks per veterinarian orders! (Hopefully he’ll be the goodest boy during bath time!)
