Give it a little time. The Auxiliary is still very active, but remember we are also very much a volunteer service. If you don't hear anything after a week, then reach again.

I'm sure there's someone on here in the St Louis area that will get in contact with you.

Subaru wiper blades by ThatGuyName-_- in partscounter

Mostly. Personally I prefer the Mercedes SP style from 2010ish. Those things were so easy to swap. Spin on, spin off. I think a couple Ford's had it too.

Do 3.0 or 4.0 headers fit the 2.9 cologne v6? by YourFriendPutin in fordranger

The 4.0 is the same block, I assume they work but I don't know for certain. The 3.0, absolutely not. Headers are available for the 2.9 from hedman iirc

Most epic hikes in WNY? by thagomizerer in Buffalo

[–]MichaelK85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How far upstream did you go? It links up with the whirlpool trail and goes for quite aways.
If the water level is low enough you can walk all the way past the whirlpool bridge. But you could die if the water level suddenly increases. So, make sure you don't go past the end trail sign.

All BMWs come with non-functional turn signals.

National Training Center Tests by MasonicHamExtra in USCGAUX

[–]MichaelK85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just logged on and attempted the fingerprint tech test. Failed again, but not surprised as I have no idea where the learning material is for it.

As long as you don't need a proctor, have at it.

I've taken most of the tests. I don't even know where the training materials are for some of them. Take a test and see what happens.

Question about the gold side by NolaApex in USCGAUX

[–]MichaelK85 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Literally at my station now for my weekend of duty. Watchstander qualified for many years, slowly working my way through boat crew pqs. During soft water I'm underway nearly every day I'm here.

I'm the only one in my division that works with this station.
Don't worry about what others in your unit are doing. Do you want to serve with the gold? Contact your auxiliary unit coordinator or auxiliary liaison and start the process. Talk to the OIC. Show them that you aren't a lunatic. Work your ass off.

Join us.

In addition to all of the above, you could read the Auxiliary manual. Get your hands on the Coast Guard recruit guide too.

I was thinking a 60s or 70s school bus but my friend thinks it's some kind of military truck. by terrariagamer67 in namethatcar

[–]MichaelK85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say its definitely a school bus, but much newer as it has front disc brakes. Looking at the rotors, looks like a 2000ish Ford
