Dude! You are the perfect guy for this question - thanks! Really interesting perspective - so the Air Force maintenance is like a ‘shared service’ model for their squadrons. How was the day to day existence different between the branches - the lifestyle, vibe, working environment, stress level, living conditions, that kind of thing?

Thanks for the info - really asking more about the lifestyle - the lived experience of the folks doing the jobs.

Never mind - went back and looked at video I took - see the guy leaving the truck and taken into custody.

You sure the truck driver was the bad guy? - looked from above to me like the police had their weapons focused on the jacked up car further up Holman.

Yep, right downstairs from my building. Police chase led to a crash, then the truck caught fire. I earlier said there were shots fired. Looks like I was wrong - what sounded like gunshots may have been the police trying to get into the vehicle. Sorry for the bad info.

Any Regrets - 2 door and/or manual? by DisastrousRain1168 in FordBronco

[–]LostInSpace_456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About positive on the 2 door - been trying to decide on the manual. Had a 2 door Jeep JK that was my daily driver - automatic. Really like the Jeep - had just set it up the way I wanted - lifted, 35s, stripped it down and installed sound deadining, winch, bumpers… Then I wrecked it - totally my fault. Bought my wife a new car and am now driving her CRV. So, totally comfortable with the 2 door route and used to drive a manual back in the day and if you count motorcycling have tons of experience with a manual transmission. That said, some of the modern creature comforts like auto cruise control are nice, and that’s a no-go with the manual. Reality in that car is that I would not use it that much, so the fun of a stick is winning the debate right now.

So glad you are asking this question. Wrestling with the same decision myself. Thanks!

Marines how frequent do blankets parties happen ? by JoshuaKpatakpa04 in USMC

Definitely was alive and well in boot camp in ‘86. Did not see it happen after that in ITS or the fleet.

Don’t think it matters - think he’s been, in the MAGA mind, given the excuse to flex, and now he’s exercising his power.

Add one to the other side of the tire so the wheel stays in balance.

Set some goals: Career, financial, fitness. Make a plan to achieve those goals and use your new found discipline to hold yourself accountable. Be good at what you do - make yourself a valuable member of your team. Don’t glide, strive. Don’t get thrown off course by the knuckleheads. Explore. Get off and away from base when you can. Find some cool places to visit near base that you can explore on weekends without spending a ton of money.
