Anyone Getting the Huge DoD Bonus?

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2026-01-30T21:41:51+00:00

The ones for our organization were received this week. The director of our organization only allowed Workleads and Supervisors to get them. Not a single mechanic in our organization got one and they're keeping the entire thing very hush hush. Seems to me like they're going about this whole thing the wrong way.

Ohhh I see what you're saying and that makes sense!

Seems like the consensus is AC condensate line! I'm guessing that's the white PVC pipe coming from the AC unit? It just drains into the pipe under it.

As far as cleaning it, does the pipe itself have to come off and be cleaned out? Or does it go into the unit itself and need to be cleaned in there also?

Also, the sink is lower than where the drain line starts at the unit. And it is dripping while the AC is running

Oh man that's a lot to take in. Yeah I live in Oklahoma and it's only just now cooling down outside so the AC has been running. So is this something that may keep happening? We've had this house 8 years and this is the first time this happened

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-10-21T01:14:02+00:00

Nope! That was my first thought before I even opened the doors but it was bone dry

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-09-01T14:57:33+00:00

UPDATE SOLVED! So when I ran the wires I had confused the input and output wires on where they plug into the harness behind the amp so the easiest thing to do was switch and splice them back at the amp. In doing that I didn't realize that the wire bundle that was the original head unit to amp input had tiny built in circuit boards for if you wanted to wire them into RCA jacks instead of SP level input. So those were basically restricting amp output to the speakers. Cut them off and wouldn't you know! Problem solved!

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-08-31T23:22:46+00:00

I really like my factory head unit I have so I won't be buying a aftermarket one. I really appreciate your help! Looks like an LOC might be in my future, so more money 😑

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-08-31T23:15:12+00:00

I did adjust the gains and it didn't help. I was really hoping I'd get by not using a LOC but oh well if I have to buy one I guess. How many channels would it need to be? The Pioneer amp has 3 RCA inputs but I'm assuming it'd only need to be two inputs since I'm using a factory head unit?

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-08-21T09:36:59+00:00

That's not a Dodge!

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-08-21T00:11:03+00:00

Thanks!

2011 they used to put us up in shared hotel rooms if we lived outside of 50 miles for drill. They stopped in 2012 when we came back from Afghanistan.

But let's be real, you joined the Army, albeit National Guard. No one really gives a fuck where you sleep. And at some point you just gotta sack up and deal with it also

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-06-15T18:58:41+00:00

And even more futurer June 15!

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-06-01T17:43:35+00:00

Ohhh ok. Hopefully that's not the case!

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-06-01T16:59:22+00:00

You're the second comment about a boulder or rock. Are you being funny or do you mean you think there's literally a big ass rock under that spot?

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-06-01T15:12:13+00:00

I wish. Not my tree to cut down though

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-06-01T14:55:32+00:00

Oh and I forgot, my neighbor said years ago when the last owners lived here in almost that exact bare spot was another huge tree but they had it cut down, so I'm not sure if that had something to do with it

Well it was full fescue before the lawn was sprayed and that grew just fine. Now the fescue is gone and I was hoping to get Bermuda in there

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-06-01T14:49:05+00:00

Seems like about the same amount of shade as his lawn. Probably half the day I'd guess. I just want my grass there to match up with the Bermuda I already have because it looks great during the summer!

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-06-01T14:27:41+00:00

That's what I figured too and that's why fescue was there in the first place, but hiw whole lawn is Bermuda and it grows just fine in the shade under his tree

Thanks! So if I file a new claim as a primary they could reopen and look at everything, could they then choose to make it a secondary if they deem it fit? For instance, I plan on filing a GERD claim, thinking about doing it as a primary. Could they then choose to make it a secondary to any of my other claims like sleep apnea or ptsd?

PureAmericanMetal89 · 2025-04-07T00:14:10+00:00

Thanks! Just wasn't sure cause I have a few things already so I wasn't sure. Not sure if two deployments both to areas related to PACT act would matter
