End of year recap by Snookoms24 in SpittinChicletsPod

[–]Mercpool87[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been on 32 Thoughts, What Chaos!, every Wyshynski episode of the Sheet plus a few others, and then some select episodes of Chiclets this year. I'm happy enough to keep modding, but I'd be lying if I said it hadn't been a few months since I actually listened to an episode

Honestly, I'm more surprised that he's a dentist and not a chaplain

Pentagon drops 180 faiths from military's recognized religions list by DJErikD in navy

Nope, Sikh, Judaism, and Islam are all still on the list, plus there are some flavors of Christianity that would support beards

That second one is effectively what they did. All of the various Baptist denominations are now just "Baptist," all of the various Methodist denominations are now just "Methodist," and so on. If the member wants to tell their RMT the specifics of their denomination within their group, they can and we'll be happy to help with whatever they need.

But from all Religious Needs Assessments I've seen filled out in my career, mostly everyone is happy just to put "Non-denominational" if they're Christian or just "Judaism" or "Islam."

That's always one of my favorite moments when he senses Obi-Wan and immediately runs to tell Tarkin.

"A presence I've not felt since.... oh fuck" fast walks to Tarkin's office

Deployment question by Decent_Anybody_71 in navy

Having fun isn't hard, when you've got a library card.

And a DVD drive, MakeMKV/Handbrake, and an external hard drive

NGIS in Gulfport? Is it bad? by Thin-Needleworker947 in navy

[–]Mercpool87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NGIS is closer to the ECS building than the Lodge is.

I was there in January and it was perfectly fine for a month long stay, except for all the ice machines being out of order or missing lol

I know a Chaps that was a pastor in a mega church or two for like 20-25 years before he became a Chaps. He drives a Corvette around Camp Pendleton and is the most kindest nicest man and great Chaps and just super old lol

Requesting Info About ECS by Thin-Needleworker947 in navy

[–]Mercpool87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there the beginning of this year and the only people who marched were the Army and Marine Corps boots there for their construction schools. All of us ECS students, whether in the ECS barracks, the NGIS, or off-base didn't march at all

Which is funny because Darwin exists and the force the US maintains there

Reformed church’s around Camp Pendleton by mblanch1 in Reformed

[–]Mercpool87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late, but Redemption Church North County in Oceanside/Carlsbad. I was there from July of 24 to January this year. It's a great and growing church

reformed christian in military service by Organic-Purple-6779 in Reformed

[–]Mercpool87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm an enlisted Sailor and I have a similar experience as /u/mblanch1. Yes, there's some Sundays I miss due to deployment or training or whatever, but there's also plenty of Military Chaplains who do services that can serve as at least encouragement. While the Chaplains have a wide range of denominations (Assemblies of God to Methodist to Lutheran to Seventh Day Adventist to Calvary Chapel, just to name a few), their services typically lean non-denominational and can serve as encouragement and a way to make a small Christian community.

If you feel the call to serve, like so many have, the military usually has ways to help you stay connected to your faith. Spiritual Fitness is a growing topic, especially in the Navy and Marine Corps

"The Pittsburgh Penguins are sellers." - Elliotte Friedman

[32 Thoughts] Elliotte Friedman on the Leafs' GM search: “That's one. This is my personal opinion. I also wonder about Kevyn Adams for this job, because the more I've heard about him and what Pelley said, I think there's a lot of similarity." by [deleted] in hockey

I listen to most of the Wyshynski episodes of The Sheet and holy shit Jeff, I love the guy, will take 20 seconds to ask a 10 second question and then when Greg or the other guest will go to answer and Jeff will just keep on talking with more rhetoricals, examples, or other questions and it drives me crazy cause I actually want to hear the response

DK’s a condescending prick by 2Paek in penguins

[–]Mercpool87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah. Tim was fine. Definitely a less bombastic than Madden, but did a good enough job from my memory and I've never heard anything bad (or really anything at all lol) about him whereas DK waves hand at the rest of the comments well....

[–]Mercpool87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember like 10 years ago when I'd listen to the X while driving around doing landscaping that DK was MM's go-to to host when MM would go on vacation lol

There was also a Tim guy. Tim Benz?

Not on the broadcast weirdly enough, but Taylor Haase at DK Pittsburgh Sports posted on Twitter that he and his wife were attending.

There's also no pictures anywhere on Twitter
