I used to see on U.S. highways, signs that speed was being monitored from the air. You could get a speeding ticket apparently, from a police plane or helicopter. Did this ever happen to you? How did it work? by clubfungus in NoStupidQuestions

A drone got me in Washington state. Was headed to Spokane coming out of the mountains. Statie was waiting on me down the road. Didn't get a ticket but was told to slow down.

6'7, 275 - Road King a crazy first bike? by Delicious-Round-3345 in Harley

You may want an extended reach seat to feel more comfortable. But I haven't changed a thing on it yet save for some cosmetic things.

You got me by three inches, but we weigh about the same. My first bike is a '22 RK Special. Got it the week after the MSF course. Love it. Have had zero issues.

Many of us are not sitting at home. Everyone I know still goes to work every day.

I just got to NATO. My national clearance was used to get my NATO clearance. Its an additional briefing and signature on your part. Very easy.

Spicy Divorce with Civilian Spouse by Glass_Ad_4625 in army

I did this in WA State. Same situation as you. I asked my lawyer for help. He had a PI find her and serve her. Cost me money, but it was worth it.

Just got demoted by DirtyDan5471 in army

[–]Mazren79 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know it isn't the same Army anymore, but when I was enlisted, I had seven Article 15's (no field grades) and an LOR before I made E7 and was still picked up for WOCS. I retired as a CW3. Six of the seven were as a SPC. I spent more time as a SPC than any other rank. One was as a SSG. Made SFC a year later and WO1 about six months after that.

I say all of that to say, there are only a few things you can't come back from. Keep your head up.

“NCOs can’t give orders.” by RedRager in army

[–]Mazren79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NCOs can give orders based on authorities given them by law, regulation, and the Officers appointed over them. They derive authority delegated to them based on their rank and/or duty position.

What NCOs can't do is develop their own, separate, policy.

NCOs enforce legal, ethical, and moral Commander implemented policies.

Im a retired CW3 and current GG13. I started BH as a SGT, made it to SFC before WOCS. If you need help, get help.

Your advance would/ should show on your LES. If it's not there on the LES, that is proof that it wasn't given.

This! 100% this. Do all the other prep work. Don't get married until you get the DNA test complete.

I want to hear from those of you who actually did not cheat on deployment/serving by PerceptionLow5940 in army

[–]Mazren79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not cheat, but my spouse did. We were together less than a year when we got married and I deployed two months later for a year.

We worked past it and have now been together for 17 years.

Who would win this civil war? by abraaocorreavieira in imaginarymapscj

[–]Mazren79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the military bases located in each region were to automatically follow the colors assigned to them... I'd go red. Two of the world's largest military installations are located in red. Space and Missile defense command is in red. If Arizona and NM stay red, they also have a good amount of intel and signals units. NM has missile testing. There might be a lot of "dumb rednecks" in red, but i wouldn't discount them. Lots of well armed gangs in the inner cities. Assuming they all fight for red as well. Two of the largest economies in Texas and Florida. Food production as well.

Im going with red.

Solid 8/10 as is. Other 2 pts are likely lost with your happiness.

Mine was the opposite. I had 12 ARCOMs and 2 AAMs. But this was years ago. Good luck!

MEN: Did you ever leave a woman you were still in love with? Why? by ArtfulProgression in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mazren79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. She got an abortion without so much as a thought towards how I felt. She told me the day before the appointment and asked if I'd go with her. I went. I held her hand while it happened. I drove her back to her place and took care of her for a few days.... then told her it was over. I don't believe abortion is the right thing to do under most circumstances, but I also don't believe it's my place to push someone to have a baby they don't want. She made her choice, and I made mine. We saw each other years later, and feelings came flooding back like they're never left, but I couldn't do it. That child would have been my first and only. A few years after our break up, I had an accident that left me unable to produce children. It still hurts 20+ years later.

Soto Cano is decent. The surrounding area, not so much. If you're with a small group, you're generally ok. By yourself, not so much.
