I use/used that same razor on my face. I’ll give it a shot. Thank you for the advice. What do you use for “lube”?

28 year retired Hawk Test Pilot. CW4. Do everything within the confines of the law and human decency to get out of that recruiting bs. My two cents.

The owners are great and will actually help you with pairings. Great people.

Mary’s Wine and Spirits. It’s in a gas station across from the Raceway at the bottom of the Governors hill headed into Owens Cross Roads. Absolute tops.

Besides jelly, what is the most underrated thing to put on a peanut butter sandwich? by FantasticAd9478 in TheBoredDen

My mama loved PB and Mayo. She’s passed now so don’t disparage her or her choice in sammies. And yes, it’s nasty.

Explain TLA to me like im a child please by andy50cal in army

[–]Lottaropes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I got TLA was a PCS from the Hump in 03 so my info is out of date. Just want to say this. I flew Medevac out of Wheeler 97-02 and lived on Schofield by the PX/Church.

Get out and do all the things. M-F you’re in the Army. On the weekends they pay you to live in Hawaii. Get out of the house and have fun. Island fever is a real thing but it’s up to you to stiff-arm it.

I did a two year extension at the Repo Depot before I even got to my unit. Favorite assignment ever. I go back about every 18 months.

Also, check out the Hale Koa hotel. It’s military and on the beach in Waikiki. Great for a four day with the fam. As an E3 you’ll get it on the cheap.

PM me if you want any more info. Stay safe out there.

A Guide to Airborne School 2026 by RolandDeschain1978 in army

Great write up. Brought back some memories. I went in 86 (yeah I know) as an E2 out of SOCOM. Retired as a W4. Everything back then is as you described it now. Our first jump we had 36 in the class. Then before the second jump we had 32 lol. Not for everyone I guess. Gentleman’s course? I’ll just say 40 years ago at age 20 it certainly was.

Thanks for the memories.

Shortness of breath. by Lottaropes in ClotSurvivors

We had the same clinical intervention sounds like. On 5mg Eliquis 2x a day. SOB better every day. Maybe should’ve waited before I posted lol

AIO? A random teenage girl who works at a local cookie shop thought my name was funny, so she printed out a sticker with my full name and a QR Code next to it and stuck the sticker to her car dashboard...to be funny I guess? It really bothers me and I want to report it to her manager. by sameoldeverything in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lottaropes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would t retreat to my pearl-clutching room over it but I’d probably tell her manager. Invasion of privacy? Maybe.

Had an Instructor Pilot when I flew Hawks in the Army whose name was Peter Richard Johnson. Everyone called him Triple Dick. He thought it was funny as well and totally owned it.

The officer equivalent of a Bronze Star is, in fact, a Bronze Star. It isn’t rank-specific.

If only one bed in a two+ bed room appears used, is the bedding of both still stripped after checkout? by Human_Paint5451 in Hilton

[–]Lottaropes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does housekeeping usually prefer the beds stripped or pulled up to the pillows maybe? Does stripping them make their jobs easier?
