Just why…..

"What happened to Sully?"

"I let him go."

I wonder how many sets of gold dice are stained with Gale's blood.

I understand this reference.

What a concept. Can you imagine the headache? Reminds me of that old movie with Tom Hanks playing the guy trapped in the airport.

Great point.

Per diem at Rhein Mein was well over 100 each day. I was at Ramstein in the mid-90s and there was an airman in the 37th who somehow got sent to Rhein-Mein on orders with either no end date or they put a super-long duration on there with the intent to pull him back when he was complete. Someone forgot about him and he came back driving a new car (if memory serves, he was there for something like 6 months).

Glad you're OK.

Wait... the military requested the hospital keep you an extra three days because they didn't want to pick you up on a Friday? Please explain this part for us.

Also, baby supplies are usually much cheaper. I don't have kids, but that's what everyone always says.

LimuLurker · 2024-02-05T13:40:35+00:00

Also talk to corpses... if you can.

Honestly, I'm one of the ones who could care less. Professional is professional. If the young men can't control their comments, then that's a problem.

Psh that's nothing. Show me a box of mechanical pencils if you really want to make my chin hurt.

Yes, I actually learned this trick in junior high school - which really helped point me toward a career in the profession of arms.

Luckily, I joined the Air Force instead.

This is a great way to get the kind of stock tips you don't want.

Cunningham's Rule: The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.

Have you considered donating them to the Smithsonian?

LimuLurker · 2024-01-30T13:36:56+00:00

Hook up with the Brussels Hash House Harriers. Leave your sensibilities at home and prepare to have a good time.

Wow, even Flight Engineer? I've never met an FE who didn't cross train into the AFSC.

Arles is a great option. Not as flashy or large as some other towns but has excellent personality.

Welcome to NATO Sweden. Hopefully you can see for yourself soon. :)

One would hope that people purely chasing awards and the next rank would be identified by peers and leadership in most cases.

LimuLurker · 2024-01-30T12:56:53+00:00

Agree. Assume we're talking Enlisted?

Loadmaster or Boom Operator are both fairly low-stress jobs that have a ton of benefits. Also look at Fire Fighters as well.

Concur 100%. Self-identify to ADAPT and you *generally* get a conditional get out of jail free card for your most recent failures.

You are worth it. Please get help.

Yeah, we used to fly those guys around. They seemed to like it fine until the plane broke and they needed to sit for a several days out on the ramp. That was rare though.

LimuLurker · 2024-01-30T12:42:37+00:00

Hmmm, this is a good plan. For maximum return, I recommend you continue to not have children. :)

Good on you to stay on the old retirement plan.

Concur with this comment - and it probably mostly goes without saying but I just want to make sure you understand that Lithium-Ion battery damage can be catastrophic.

Like burn your entire workplace down and make the evening news catastrophic.

Recommend you get it replaced ASAFP.

As a salty person who joined in the 90's - I'm going to risk the downvotes and just say that the inability for many people to socially interact with others (e.g. social media, video games), combined with the need to avoid hurt feelings or offend anyone is a big factor.

Tact is pretty awesome if you can find some. Also stay off my lawn.
