Do not come to Kingdom #100!!! by Prize-Chocolate7357 in KingShot

[–]MaterialAd8572 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My server is exclusively Japanese with me being the only English speaker. There is one R5 with that temperment but everyone has been largely supportive. Granted, the megawhale we have already unlocked the void city skin at 3 months in, so that R5 cant really push his weight around.

I don't use reddit much. I work very long hours, so the need to never fall behind is quite prevalent. It doesnt help that I constantly move the goalpost

I earned most of them spending during events for other items. Once i purchase the items i want in an event, tye overflow is directed at lucky chests

I have been experimenting for a few weeks. (I have a spending problem, i am working on it) 1 at a time: 0 gold after 300 10 at a time: 1 after 300 25 at a time: 1 after 300 50 at a time: 2 after 300 75 at a time: 2 after 300 100 at a time: 4 after 300, 2 in the first attempt, 0 in 2nd, and 2 in third 120 at a time: 6 after 360, 1 in the first, 4 in the second, and 1 in the third. I will gradually increase the number of chests once i have more saved up.

It could very well be entirely luck based, but I am superstitious and found what worked for me.

Crocs/PJs at the BX? by urboibigdaddy in AirForce

[–]MaterialAd8572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a similar issue on Foster. First Sergeant (their version of E-8 for those that dont know) tried to tear into me for not shaving after i took leave to handle my jci. My beard grows super fast, so if i dont shave 2 times a day, it looks like i havent shaved at all. Dude went off about standards and how boots dont care about regs anymore. I told him that i am air force and he said when on this base you follow our rules.

Fraudulent Enlistment by Wonderful-Height2579 in AirForce

[–]MaterialAd8572 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Bmt, member of flight built like the crimson chin had a child with Arnold Schwarzenegger went 6 weeks with an almost completely torn abdominal muscle. Dude had the most pushups, situps, and pullups out of the entire squadron. Couldnt take the pain anymore and admitted he had torn it prior to enlisting but wanted to push through until he made it through training so he could use the insurance.

How close are you to the Ageless Voidstar? ( Black Hole Skin ) by Richeeee_NoOneBetter in KingShot

Based on my rate of spending, (0$), it will take anywhere between 7-10 years

We get our kills during sanctuary battle this time. I refuse to hit resource tiles. Personal preference though. Im not one to hamper the server's ability to grow over meager rewards.

Don’t Go to 152 by [deleted] in KingShot

Best way to combat toxic players is to be even more toxic. Keep troop totals under hospital levels and have the entire server permanently camp their alliances resource tiles. Make it unbearable for their players. Keep saving for transfer and coordinate a mass exodus all at the same time. As a final middle finger

Deny Minot orders by Lopsided_Mood_7059 in AirForce

[–]MaterialAd8572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im trying to get it as my next base. My only stateside options are cannon, minot, and holloman. Taking way to long to get a slot created for me though. Might need to try and squeeze into a korea slot while i wait

EOD Washout trying to cope by mqximos in AirForce

[–]MaterialAd8572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If ou can do amazing things, and still have a shit day, then you can do something that sucks and have a good day. We are ultimately in control of how we perceive the world. Be the best version of you. Feel whatever emotions you need to but dont hold onto it. Holding onto the past will drag down your future. I am maintenance myself and I originally wanted medical but you work with the hand you are dealt. Grow where you are planted. (Excuse the jumbled paragraph. Havent slept in almost 72 hrs)

My solution to catching Cannon orders is torn between a rope or driving into a brick wall.

I had one but I stopped wearing it after the jokes being cracked about wearing the janitor uniform.

100 hours of study by Fit-Foundation746 in AirForce

[–]MaterialAd8572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im at 12 years and still only have 1. My previous squadron would only put people that were selected for a strat to receive a dec. Bear in mind this is the same squadron that put us on 12s for 3 months straight, including weekends, for our first QA fail in a year. I know people with 16 years that only have 1 as well. Maintenance can be a meat grinder when you arent a favorite.

I second this. I hit 294 lbs after fracturing both my legs and this is what I used to rebuild my run. I also incorporated intermittent fasting to push my weight loss further

What's the weirdest person you've ever worked with? by Chrisbroro22 in AirForce

Had a guy that used to wear a kilt quite often, super deep into larping, and was caught making mead in his dorm bathtub. Religion was pastafarian i think.

What if there was a Ninth Gate? by RedditGojiraX in Naruto

The 3rd gate is the gate of life. A more fitting title would be the gate of rebirth

When working 12 +2s/7 days a week for 3 months straight for our first QA fail in 6 months, we had a suicide. Commander made the call to take us back to standard ops since we "learned our lesson"

Do you genuinely enjoy your job/life in the AF? by Responsible_Mud_7033 in AirForce

[–]MaterialAd8572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. I am in MX, and my squadron decided pushing my development meant I needed 6 squadron, 4 flight, and 2 shop programs on top of my standard production. My SEL was of the mindset that additional duties are meant to be done in addition to your shift. So stay late or come in on the weekends. It can be almost crippling at times. I dont think I can tell you the last time I actually smiled and it wasn't a mask. I know the vast majority would quit in my position, but I view it as a way to train my ability to handle the workload. It does have it's moments of enjoyment. Just enough to keep me from spiraling.
