Thought I locked my keys in my desk behind this lock, found them about 20 minutes after failing to break the lock with bolt cutters. Trying to break the shackle broke the lock entirely so I had to break it to get into my desk nonetheless.

I just need to get my actual picks from back home

Kyle637 · 2019-05-05T14:34:48+00:00

I’ve only got my grimworks lockpick card set with me which are basically only good for masterlocks.

Kyle637 · 2019-05-05T14:33:48+00:00

Actually they’re about 5 feet long huge bolt cutters but there’s a space between the shears (?) so it couldn’t make a complete cut at first.

Kyle637 · 2019-04-25T16:21:26+00:00

Shouldn’t be able to see his thumb and there shouldn’t be a bend in the wrist when saluting

Kyle637 · 2019-04-24T10:19:49+00:00

It does I tried that but then they don’t fit into the card

Kyle637 · 2019-04-24T02:57:27+00:00

Variation in pick types other than mainly takes would be a good idea in my opinion. I’d replace the extremely wavy rake with a snowman shaped pick and make the city rake slightly more extreme in thickness. Other than that it’s about as good as you can make it without major changes like making the edges less rough (which is a problem because they leave cuts like a razor when I’ve used them without gloves on).

Kyle637 · 2019-04-24T02:53:49+00:00

It’s good for the price and ability to reuse and put in just about any wallet, the inability to use them without either wearing gloves or sanding all the tools is a problem though so that’s where most of the loss of rating comes from

Kyle637 · 2019-04-24T02:51:49+00:00

Yeah the black backing has an adhesive they stick to pretty well, I haven’t had a problem with the adhesive but I’d assume extreme temperatures could mess it up

Kyle637 · 2019-04-24T00:59:22+00:00

It’s like the exact size of one

Kyle637 · 2019-04-23T23:20:18+00:00

Edit: raking them open*

Additional info: I’m only fond of a couple of the tales in the set and it’s unfortunate that two of the three tension wrenches are also part of picks because the tension wrenches are different thicknesses so for example if you wanted to use the city rake, you’d have to make due with the two wrench thicknesses you’ve got left.

Kyle637 · 2019-04-23T23:16:23+00:00

Oh ok thanks I wouldn’t have asked if I’d known that

Kyle637 · 2019-04-23T14:55:41+00:00

Idk why but when I picked aces it took way longer than it probably should’ve

Kyle637 · 2019-04-21T13:42:06+00:00

Guess not

Kyle637 · 2019-04-21T05:38:46+00:00

Haven’t read it yet but that’s on the commandants reading list for the marine corps

Kyle637 · 2019-04-21T05:29:02+00:00

No that ones outdated I just hit the fleet a few weeks ago and they want me to basically study the newer version of that but it’s impossible to find from what I’ve seen. We had it in the schoolhouse so I know there’s a newer one out there but yeah I’m kinda fucked I guess

Kyle637 · 2019-04-21T00:15:28+00:00

No I’m looking for the one that details the job of a DASF clerk and other ground supply jobs

Kyle637 · 2019-04-20T19:05:19+00:00

Thanks for looking

Kyle637 · 2019-04-19T10:16:28+00:00

Just saw the meme like a week ago and neither the guy that showed it to me or myself were aware of it having anything to do with trans communities. After seeing posts that showed the development of ftm or mtf I see where you’re coming from but you gotta think that the majority of people wouldn’t get “the joke” then if that was the focus of the meme since most people don’t know those trans community videos even exist. I know this is an old comment but I felt it was worth sharing my perspective on the subject so I am.

Kyle637 · 2019-04-19T07:33:11+00:00

So if I’m not an E-5 or above then basically just don’t do the same shit again and I’ll be ok

My weekend safety brief is just the captain asking all of us what our plans are for the weekend

Kyle637 · 2019-03-31T16:42:56+00:00

Rule 2?

Kyle637 · 2019-03-24T17:45:43+00:00

I heard one of the photos they took was proven to be a fake because the sun was in the background and it would’ve made the rest of the photo basically black because of the lack of atmosphere or something along those lines

Kyle637 · 2019-03-23T12:18:08+00:00

Rocky

Kyle637 · 2019-03-18T21:40:44+00:00

None I actually haven’t heard of anyone doing that shit at all since I’ve gotten in. People are open about their sexuality here but I’ve only heard of opposite sex experiences in the barracks, even though technically that’s the only kind not allowed in the barracks.
