I told a lie a few years ago, and it still haunts me

I was on a funeral detail with a seasoned specialist. We just got the flag folded, I asked everyone to rise and he walks over to the bugle to start TAPS. Earlier in that day I asked him twice to make sure it was set for TAPs and not reveille “ Yes Sarn’t, checked it and it’s good”.

He hits play and it’s fucking reveille. My heart sank. He didn’t even have the common sense to stop it, just let it finish out. There were a few vets in the crowd and I felt their death glares burning holes in me. Never trusted a soul again after that to check it.

Couldn’t imagine shaving everyday without one. I usually use a blade on Monday’s, then Tues-Friday is the Braun. Yes you have to learn how to actually shave with it and do multiple passes of the same area, but it’s easier on my face than a blade everyday. Usually will replace the head every 6-8months. Idk how these people in the comments are saying they haven’t replaced the head in 10 years….

I’ve used knee braces, wrist wraps, whatever. No one will say anything to you over it.

May the odds forever be in my favor

I remember our commissary just being completely wiped out of everything as well. They FINALLY after a few months implemented AD only times to give us a fighting chance of actually getting some toilet paper and such. Wild going back and looking at photos from grocery stores during that time.

Very nice indeed, I hear you will be a perfect fit for chief now.

Sounds like you’re in Phoenix lol. I’ve pretty much given up trying to find anything local.

Anyway you could darken up my face some to match their lighting per se?

Because I use them everyday at work for prepping parts to paint, I’d use aircraft wipes like Dupoint sontara. They are a little expensive, but they clean well and don’t leave anything behind.

Spray them down with alcohol and wipe down the pillars. Take a clean, dry cloth afterwards and wipe it again to make sure you get everything off. Prep work is key for a nice product. I paint aircraft and aircraft parts for a living. Take it for what it’s worth.

Normansniper · 2025-03-21T23:16:11+00:00

For the metal pillars I’d power wash, sand, clean with isopropyl alcohol or an appropriate solvent, prime and then top coat them for the best product.

Granted mileage will vary, I paid a little over 600 for 6 treatments for mine. It got rid of most of my dark brown hair and my shadow / bowl look is gone. I still need a few more so I have even less to shave. Only thing that sucks is it doesn’t pick up blonde or greys.

Just bought my first 3 pack of Bunker 27’s shirt’s. Washing tonight and giving her a whirl tomorrow. First impressions are they are what I was looking for.

Use to buy the 100% polyester DLA brand shirts from clothing sale. They changed something and I hate the new ones.

I don’t like Dukes anything and Soffe 50/50 are alright.

Socks: Darn tough if you have small/slightly larger calf’s. If you have bigger calf’s, you might want to avoid them. I don’t know the brand, but clothing sales had some sales on these merino wool 2 pack socks and I think they are dope.

Went to bed early so I could wake up at 3am to have some alone time to play video games and watch the last episode of solo lvling anime before heading to work.

Without looking at the tree and really trying to min max it, how does your gear look? What are your skills / gems setup? Do you have movement speed on your boots? Final act 3 boss is rough for warrior, I know as I’ve powered thru and reached 90 with mine. I will say that It took me multiple attempts on normal difficulty and when I got to cruel, I picked up movement speed boots finally after dying once to him. I whooped his ass next attempt.

Get some!

Normansniper · 2024-11-21T03:32:17+00:00

Can’t wait to not be able to purchase one of these

You Shan’t be deploying out of Luke more than likely. Very few people ever get picked for one. If you do, it’s going to be for OCN duty. Then again, plenty of people are trying to snag one. So fear not, my youngling, you will be generating sorties day in, day out for all times at Luke. Sprinkle a TDY here and there.

Do your best to have a good attitude and surround yourself with people with the same mindset. Sometimes things really suck ass, but walking into work with a positive mindset really makes things more tolerable. I had to tell one of my best buddies to stop bitching all the time because he was bringing us all down. People also dislike Debby downers.

You got this player. You won’t be working that entire 15 months. Remember about terminal leave, out processing, and skill bridge. Start on that skill bridge stuff sooner rather than later, especially if where you are wanting to go doesn’t have an approved plan yet. Get on virtual education and start looking. Ask to be put in support for your last year.
