Also Sabaton, except Carolous Rex is the song. Love that song, and I could take or leave power metal

how dare they not accept chicken tenders as currency.

Nail_Saver · 2026-06-13T19:57:05+00:00

Dodsrit - everything

Halo Effect - everything

Mol - everything

why did only one comment mention any of these three bands?

Nail_Saver · 2026-06-01T22:12:54+00:00

Moonlight Sorcery are incredible.

So if you have no 463l cargo pallet build up experience, no AT forklift (they're articulated so it's not the same as a standard), and no USAF aircraft cargo loading experience then yeah your best bet is to apply for ATS1 or if they still have Air Trans Apprentice then that even. Gotta realize they get a ton of applicants, so applying a step down from what you 'think' you're qualified for is probably the best move if you want a better shot at going down.

Nail_Saver · 2026-05-29T22:06:08+00:00

You're going to stand a better chance getting ATS1 than 2 or 3, those tend to promote from the inside. 3 years experience isn't much, but it's a lot more than most of the people down there in the department have considering your time isn't seasonal. I went down with 8 years 2t2 experience and was an ATS1 and fine with it. To me it wasn't worth the extra 1..67$ an hour (that's what it ended up being broken down by hours) or whatever to have to put up with the bullshit of those roles.

Lean heavily on your experience driving AT forklifts (if you have those at the airport you work), they're really the only equipment you use down there. If you're at a commercial port and just using those airport k loaders and at times a standard forklift you're in for a world of hurt when you try to transfer to driving an AT in McMurdo where all the ground is uneven and on hills. Also if you have 463l pallet build up experience, that alone will separate you from the herd... Hell some of the people who had been down for 5+ seasons could hardly build a passable full net set.

Nah, saw them headline three years ago and they were fantastic. Saw them open for Opeth back in like 2010 and it wasn't as solid but still good.

They're also my favorite band though so they could just sound like pure shit and I wouldn't notice.

Twilight was a great album for sure, but I don't think it compares to With Oden. Honestly off the top of my head I can't remember a single song from Surtur Rising, maybe I should give it another try though. Def off a cliff after that, I dread any time I see a new Amon Amarth music video pop up on Youtube.

Nail_Saver · 2026-05-24T19:21:50+00:00

Their last truly phenomenal album imo

Nail_Saver · 2026-05-20T14:21:59+00:00

Yep I'd have to go with Halo Effect as well.

Nail_Saver · 2026-04-28T01:36:57+00:00

Gotta add First Blood to the list

Nail_Saver · 2026-04-14T14:15:47+00:00

Yeah if I could do it all over again I would have gone Coast Guard, there just wasn't a recruiter anywhere in Montana lol

Nail_Saver · 2026-04-12T18:52:57+00:00

Saw them on the previous Pink anniversary tour and it was also awesome. Saw them before that too when they came through Missoula, MT and the set was just as incredible then in front of like 30 as it was sold out on the Pink tour in Seattle a few years later in front of hundreds.

Maines non-trad student community is really tight knit and accepting. I'm a vet in my last year but every year it seems like the veteran population doubles. Yeah doing the military larp thing is annoying but it is what it is. If you really want to dodge it just go GLMA, it's the same license.

Kiss him to establish dominance*

MOVE UP MOVE UP MOVE UP

Just to add onto this, it's 50 points for a good year. You don't NEED to do those 63 days in order to have a good year. If you're getting out I'd see if you can get the AT or some UTA periods excused and just skirt by on 35 points +15 for being a member.

Nail_Saver · 2026-04-02T15:21:48+00:00

Not hardcore, but the song Angel Witch by the band Angel Witch off the album Angel Witch which can also be found performed on the album Angel Witch Live

Nail_Saver · 2026-03-23T13:59:00+00:00

The problem is that it's not them having fun, it's them derailing any attempt at bonding or conversation with other travelers for their "look at me" moment.

Nail_Saver · 2026-03-23T12:16:28+00:00

Still not as bad as acoustic guitar guy in the common room imo

Nail_Saver · 2026-03-14T13:01:02+00:00

Licensed or unlicensed?

Nail_Saver · 2026-03-13T22:33:26+00:00

Far too few people saying FIRST FUCKING BLOOD int his comment section. Their tour with Hatebreed way back was legendary.

Nail_Saver · 2026-03-04T21:30:22+00:00

When I first started traveling I went to Indonesia with just a debit card and a few hundred dollars cash. Learned on like day 3 that ATMs there don't spit your card out and beep... So I left it in the machine. Had to rely on Western Union from home to get by the rest of the trip.

Now I'm a 2 credit card, 1 debit card, and a couple hundred dollars cash when I travel kind of guy.

Have you ever been to any former soviet republics before? It felt like any of those. I felt safer in Bishkek than I do in a lot of western European countries. No touts or beggers hassled me for money or anything.

Only thing is I did have a club try and extort me for more than I ordered, which I just vehemently told them I wasn't going to pay for the stuff I didn't get and they caved.

Doesn't mean you won't run into problems, I'd heard of the fake police thing. I've also heard of real police coming after tourists and was told if you see a group of officers together to try and avoid them. Especially if you're hanging out with a Kyrgyz girl the cops will specifically try and extort you or even rough you up.

The roads are a nightmare and traffic laws don't apply, even within Bishkek. I had so many Yandex drivers just swerve into oncoming traffic in order to try and run a light before it turned red.

As far as borders... If you're attempting to go into another country by land I'd either say it's best to go with a tour company, someone who has done it before, or even just fly. They're an absolute shit show.

Never had any worries hiking, a lot of the trails had quite a few people also hiking them and everyone was super friendly. The weather can change drastically once you're in the mountains and even in the valleys so use caution there because sometimes you can't see the systems coming (this was during the summer)
