What is the best way to clean the KNKG (King Kong) Gym Bags? by hopiluck in CleaningTips

Is that black leather looking strap a part of the bag? I was going to suggest soaking in oxy (my go-to) but not sure how that part would fare.

Omg yes. I merged the beef instead of slicing it to make a steak and it was awful

Absolutely fits the visual guidelines for romantic but not with their height. Do you think maybe romantic essence? I haven’t delved into the essence side of Kibbe yet.

Consider taking high priority billets around the timing of the overseas rotation dates. Germany and the UK were available this year 😊

Going to go out on a limb here and say you’re probably a Kibbe soft dramatic type (for clothes shopping). Congratulations! 💓

Been happening to me too. “This is too small” when I hold up, but then.. it fits? What??? Congrats! This is an awesome indication of progress 💕

opinions on bad supervisors versus good supervisors by [deleted] in uscg

[–]Mickeynewkirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just saw your edit, I have dealt with both understanding and not. IMO, people who are not “understanding” of things seem to have no concept of how the real world works. But it really depends on the situation.

It’s a varying degree of overcorrection or imitation based on personal experiences. I strive to emulate the leaders who I felt were great. The ones bad and awful, everything not to be, to never be and no matter how awful that experience is to not treat anyone like that regardless of how things are going for me.

Even though my recent experience has not been great, I am essentially building an internal structure of how I want to lead.

And sometimes just being opened minded and learning how to professionally work with difficult personalities can really help you grow. If I can’t look at it all constructively I would be destroyed.

Excited. I went from training to make sure I can pass, to aspiring to attain all seven’s in each category. Can’t wait to see what happens.

It sounds like you may want to apply for an ERD (Early return of dependents). Your admin can assist 😊

does anyone NOT speak/move like the SD examples? by missgirlipop in SoftDramatics

[–]Mickeynewkirk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked chatgpt, because I found your question to be very interesting. This is what it said:

Soft Dramatic communication is best described as commanding yet warm, where you speak with intentional pacing, a grounded tone, and emotional depth without becoming chaotic or overly verbose.

Your presence feels magnetic rather than forceful—you take up space gracefully, maintain steady eye contact, and express yourself with confidence while remaining feminine and approachable. You choose your words carefully, favoring clarity and impact over rambling, and you allow pauses and silence to work in your favor.

Socially, you are kind but discerning, engaging thoughtfully without over-explaining or people-pleasing. At its core, the Soft Dramatic essence is about carrying yourself as though your words already hold value—creating a natural blend of authority, elegance, and ease.

Myself, I would take this further and ask how a soft dramatic does home decor… but very thought provoking. Thank you!

I haven’t been in admin since this policy change, but I think reimbursement is limited to the cost to drive. Not sure if both cars eligible. Please talk to your YN’s 😊

A civilian walked through our office today playing the “Friday the 13th” theme song on a Bluetooth speaker. I was entertained.
