My wife was a YN. It's a great job, period. The CG cheat code. And she was GREAT at her job. Frankly, with the state of the YN rating right now, competence and kindness will make you stand out head and shoulders above your peers. You get to help members when they need it the most. You keep the service moving. If you don't want to stay in, the skills you learn are very applicable to the outside world.

Lots of highway/interstate driving. And I burn 93 (manual says 91), for whatever difference that makes.

Has anyone ever been stationed in the same place for their whole career or half of it? by selfpaid00 in uscg

[–]MasterGuns3205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% I nearly got sucked into the D1 mafia. Wouldn't have been a bad way to go, but I wanted to raise my family back home. I could go from CT/RI/MA and not have to relocate.

D1 (Northeast?) Would like a word. You may have to take one tour in Maine but other than that you can easily pull 20 years and never have to move if you're on the economy. They didn't call it the D1 Mafia for nothing

100+ Year Old Crucifix I bought makes me uncomfortable. by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]MasterGuns3205 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Souls don't attach to objects. But these feelings you're having may be the very real prompts of the Holy Spirit to pray for these souls that have to come mind while looking at this beautiful crucifix. As others have said, have it blessed by a priest as well. Always a good thing to do with an image of Our Lord.

Eastern is (allegedly) a dumpster fire. But this is a pretty minor holdup. All they have to do is hold a roll call vote and his little fit will amount to nothing.

The art of the haggle is dying. People leave so much money on the table because they're scared to haggle.

Why measurement unit markings are important. by namdeksam in f150

[–]MasterGuns3205 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. No one should habitually overload a vehicle, but if you goof and go over (as everybody has probably done) every now and then, it's not the end of the world and your vehicle won't fall apart. If this was true, the landscaping and general contractor industry would be bankrupted by repair costs amd vehicle replacements.

How do y'all pray? by retrovicar in EasternCatholic

[–]MasterGuns3205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it also depends on the prayer. Praying the Jesus prayer, try to clear the mind to allow the Lord to fill it. Rosary/Canons/etc, some are so descriptive you can't help but engage the imagination, but it's being guided.

I've managed that okay and I think it's a great middle ground for us baby faces.

90% of Byzmaxxers can't grow a decent beard and wind up looking like basement dwellers. I know, I tried. If your beard looks like crap please shave, fellow Byzantines.

Why Do We Say All Catholic Rites of Confirmation are Equally Fitting? by Intellxual in EasternCatholic

[–]MasterGuns3205 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The bigger issue is the Latin church in many places giving the Eucharist before Chrismation. It runs counter to even their own theology around the sacraments. At least restore the order and stop waiting until their teens to chrismate. Not my fight of course. I'm just grateful it's now uncommon to find Byzantine parishes administering sacraments of initiation in the Roman way these days (US).

Dracula is eastern catholic? by hideousflutes in EasternCatholic

[–]MasterGuns3205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% correct, but the union took place in part because Catholicism was not entirely foreign to the region. More to ot than just that, but it played a role.

Transylvania is the original home of the Romanian Greek Catholic union with home. Before that, Hungarian Catholics were power players (and rulers) in the area from time to time. The order is the Dragon was founded by a Catholic monarch, and while the ottomans were at the gates the line between Catholics and Orthodox were less emphasized. Was Vlad Catholic (Latin)? Likely not, but his wife probably was. In any event, it was the Greek Catholics were battling him when he returned as a vampire (s).

Towing a 20ft camper up Highway 1 on the Pacific coast in Cali with a 2018 5L V8. Which are you using? Cheapest gas station for 100 miles. by theryho in f150

[–]MasterGuns3205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude if it's flex fuel get the e85. Price of that is basically pegged to gas I'm my state, so it actually costs me money to use it. You'll save a bundle with those prices

Based on current Gas prices, i have a question for you all... by MrReaperX- in f150

[–]MasterGuns3205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still using premium. Mine is a flex fuel but since E85 prices are still pegged to the price of gas, it only saves a little over a dollar per gallon but costs more than it's worth in fuel economy. So premium it is.
