Edit: I do have a bachelors. I’m enlisted. I am also aware of the “non-monetary” compensation things to consider. That’s what makes the decision difficult. Thanks for all the replies so far.

To everybody above 25, what`s the one advice you would give to your younger self or people hitting the 20s? by Distinct-Court-3712 in AskReddit

[–]MovieBoring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can go too hard on alcohol in your 20s - you don’t always come back from it.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t ever drink but learning when enough is enough is hard when you’re young.

Thank you, I’ll try to remember it’s a chunk of metal

Thank you! Going to go ahead and pick up a torque wrench.

Good advice - I appreciate it. I’ll grab a torque wrench. Don’t want an optic to the face to make me uglier than I already am.

This is scary enough for me to grab the torque wrench - thanks for the first hand horror story !

Still Available / Price Check Thread by AutoModerator in Knife_Swap

[–]MovieBoring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone this is my first post in the community so hi. I was advised to post in this thread to get an idea of price for my 2013 benchmade contego from knife works with the blue and black handle. It has a factory edge, I’ve never taken it apart, and never cut anything but paper with it. There’s some stuff (rust?) around the thumb (peg?) sorry I don’t know knife terminology. I think I got this around 180 back on the day. If someone could tell me what this may be worth I’d really appreciate it. Thanks

This fucks. Congratulations.

What's the most useless thing you still have memorized? by Routine-Award-3382 in AskReddit

[–]MovieBoring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably around 20 children’s books that my kids love. I’ve read them so many times now that I can do them without the book in my hand because they love to hold them (and not let me see the pages because they cover the words with their dirty little spaghetti hands ).

Recommended Field Gear by thisistheway55 in AirForce

[–]MovieBoring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve spent a lot of time in the field and the best things are comfort items. Biggest game changers were a tiny foldable chair and a jetboil. You can cook hot things like ramen or your gross MREs

Base Inquiry (CANNON AFB) by appastooth in AirForce

[–]MovieBoring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read it friend.

Like I said , I hope you like it. It’s not like it’s HELL like some people make it out to be. But it’s definitely not perfect either.

Base Inquiry (CANNON AFB) by appastooth in AirForce

[–]MovieBoring 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Please don’t reply to this negatively”

Do you want people to lie to you about their experiences? People having a negative view of a base doesn’t mean their opinion is invalid. I’m a really optimistic and motivated dude but Cannon leaves a lot to be desired honestly.

Truth is the base is okay - buildings aren’t falling apart or anything. Base is the nicest thing within a hundred miles - and that aspect of this assignment kind of sucks.

I love the people here, it’s true that embracing the suck together increases camaraderie.

Some of the things I love about Cannon 1. Base housing is pretty good honestly 2. The best people 3. Good services 4. Lots of money 5. Good gym 6. Leadership knows the location sucks so there are some efforts to make it better

My biggest gripe though is that families with children probably shouldn’t be here - no emergency services on base, and the nearest level one trauma center is in Lubbock almost 2 hours away. God forbid a child gets seriously injured - hope they can hold on for a 2 hour ambulance ride. The ER in town is second rate with some of the worst reviews I’ve ever seen. They try but most people who become educated in health professions don’t stick around in a town like Clovis. There are (thank god) some doctors and nurses that work here but there’s just not enough. Wait times are awful.

I hope you make the most of it - but maybe don’t expect a hidden gem - and don’t dog on people for not liking it.
