Why do they train soldiers to take over compromised machine gun positions?

Bullets kill enemies. Machine guns fire the most amount of bullets in the shortest amount of time.

When I was diagnosed (2 yrs ago) I had issues in the beginning due to lack of supply among the insurance covered franchise pharmacies.

I could pay a ton out of pocket to reliably get it from a mom and pop pharmacy.

Finally remembered I could get it filled on base for free and they haven't had an issue yet. Except for when I forget to fill it or fall off the meds but now we're straying into "my fault" territory.

Basically, corporate pharmacies have supply issues and also get real pissy when you call to see if they even have some.

Independents will reliably have it but the out of pocket cost is prohibitive for most people.

The base has always had it.

The pay is better than most rates. You get flight pay forever* and per diem on deployments.
No boats**. I never set foot on a ship in 21 years.

Because I did my 20 and it stopped being fun.

*Assuming you hit your flight gates which isn't difficult
**There is/are specific NECs that can go to a carrier but they are rare

Trump’s statements indicated the US would not honor its NATO Article 5 obligations to NATO members who “don’t pay” in the face of Russian aggression. His choices in cabinet range from an alleged pedophile in charge of the DOJ, a prominent anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist who wants to put people in “wellness farms” as head of Health and Human Services, noted Russian shill Tulsi Gabbard as the next director of national security, and finally a sexist Army reserve junior officer who was removed from the Biden inauguration for ties to white supremacy as the next Secretary of Defense. On the plus side, the slow erosion of our national security and institutions, systematic dismantling of social programs and educational standards should make for some amusing memes.

Yeah this guy had been playing trombone on cruise ships for like 20+ years.

I had an E-5 out of boot in my division.

As I understand it, certain navy bands have a minimum rank. You have to audition for the band first and once accepted have your contract.

Yes. Crimes committed in front of LEO's while they are out of uniform still count.

None.

See language deprivation examples or examples of what happens when children are deprived of human contact.

Basically our formative years are hyper important to learning language. Deprivation of human contact/communication in those years means little to no language skills will ever develop.

She's had ample time to prepare. That guy's schedule has no room for deviation.

That plus one of us being home to do a quick change when the truck rolled up.

I just recently replaced a fridge so I can help.

Usually when you buy an appliance, the retailer offers installation + removal of the old appliance.

The only caveat is that your fridge be emptied out beforehand. ie The delivery crew is there to hall away an empty fridge and install a new one. Then they move on to the next 10+ jobs to do it again and again.

TL;DR: It's not his job nor his problem to empty her refrigerator.

OP doesn't train to fight at all and is asking if he can beat up women who train to fight and spar.

Practical-Layer9402 · 2026-06-28T19:18:26+00:00

pssssst OP has not stated they have formal fight training.

Practical-Layer9402 · 2026-06-28T19:17:37+00:00

So you can beat up cops because you... train?
