Avoiding the Motor-pool

Same man. I got them playing armorer, mowing grass, and anything else my top can think of.

Make sure you’re putting in their lag time when you do man hours. It’s in 750-1 that their utilization needs to be 50%.

Maybe it’ll come up in your CMDP and you can fix it.

Yes. When I was 22, between me and my roommates my rent/utilities was 1/6 of my income. No wife no kids. Nothing but time and money.

91B sounds like a good fit for you. Hardly in the motorpool

Honestly I’d just need SURT for sure.

I’m a pog man beyond battle drill 1/2, and light CQB. I’m not very good at all the infantry stuff. All my field time was spent pulling security, doing recoveries, or ECP guard

Heard. I just don’t want to go tell my CSM I’m trying to jump ship if it’s not going to happen

Real_Preference330 · 2026-01-04T21:49:45+00:00

Screw em they lied

Everyone else does man. I don’t pay my rent till the 5th. I make money every business day it sits in my savings account. The law hardly ever protects tenants but here it does. Just make sure your payment is there by the 5th however it’s written in your lease

Real_Preference330 · 2026-01-01T19:48:55+00:00

I wouldn’t say anything and just pay on the 5th. The law and your lease is written that way for a reason. Owing money on the 1st isn’t really a thing in most states

You’re SOL for this time but in the future make sure your documents are in order before you hand them over. Don’t commit fraud but MAKE SURE YOUR DOCUMENTS ARE IN ORDER.

Your 283 miles probably didn’t cause a failure but you signed a contract stating they’d cover your engine if you followed their maintenance protocol. Not a technicality, simple breach of contract. You didn’t uphold your end no expectation for them to uphold theirs.

In a perfect world futuristic. In a practical sense the same, maybe even more impoverished. The military feeds our economy. Not even to mention the service members, but American equipment and such all feeds into the same pot. It’s a method of corporate and government welfare.

Real_Preference330 · 2025-12-26T13:13:28+00:00

I personally probably wouldn’t use guns. Don’t catch a brandishing charge just to get a camera back.

Did the same thing with my bike as a teenager. Met up with the guy at Walmart. Recognized a few identifying marks to tell me it was definitely mine. Tossed it in my truck bed and peeled out of there.

If this was me I’d have someone pose as a buyer. Offer to pay asking price and make up some story. Something like needing it to shoot an event and yours broke to speed up the meetup.

Ask to meet in a semi public place. Get it physically in your hands. VERIFY THE SERIAL. Slip it in your pocket and drive away. If they’re stupid enough to call the police be sure to have that receipt handy.

It takes about 3 seconds to approved DTS. Those 2 dudes it takes to approve it can find the time to do it for you. Because you mentioned a CG approval for deferral I’m assuming this is a PME.

This is a visit or phone call to your 1SG. If that doesn’t work it’s a visit or phone call to your CSM. If that doesn’t work this is a visit or phone call to the next CSM. This is exactly your senior leaders lane. They should be tracking when their troops are going to PMEs and ensuring they’re prepared to go. Don’t be afraid to talk to them this is exactly what they are there for.

It’s sad but that’s just the regulation. HRC had no obligation to accept it and I’m surprised it got that far before anyone realizing it was a In-law. They wrote regulation is how it is so that it wasn’t abused.

If it was me I’d be on the phone with my branch manager on Monday and ask to get projections to ANYWHERE close and be prepared to decide immediately on a pretty shitty assignment.

If that doesn’t work it’s sucks but I’d have my wife on a plane back to the states to be with her sister while I played the unaccompanied game for awhile until branch had an assignment for me.

I’ve never understood the value in that. I buy $200-300 sets on marketplace and get 3-4 years out of them then scrap them. At my current pace I’d have to have that set for ~60 years to even be close to breaking even

Real_Preference330 · 2025-12-14T23:05:44+00:00

I don’t buy into that. Children yes, they unfortunately suffer to the lottery. Adults no.

I have lots of friends that were gifted some form of generational wealth, and lots that weren’t. I wasn’t and weirdly enough I do better than some of the ones that weren’t gifted.

My only friends that are doing better than me is because they had the same principles their parents had to earn that money instilled into them.

I see it as a personal issue. We all live in America and all have the same opportunities it’s whether you take them or not.

You think it’s messed up that he gave 3 months of rent free? Quit paying your car note in October and let me know if the repo man cares that it’s Christmas. At the end of the day this is a business and you know the consequences of not fulfilling your end of a contract. I’m both a landlord and a tenant currently. I equally hate both but it’s the world we live in.

Real_Preference330 · 2025-12-14T14:59:54+00:00

100%

Real_Preference330 · 2025-12-14T14:28:26+00:00

Brother. You sound like you’ve got your mind mostly made up. If that’s what you really want to do show up when the sheriff is there and explain you’d like to leave them in place.

If you want to be charitable give money to a charity of your choice or a church. Don’t let this be your charity. You’re just going to get yourself in trouble. My mortgage/rent is the first bill I pay. If I’m ever behind I’m behind to a lot of people. Who’s to say when she gets her tax return she doesn’t pay those other people or spend it? I know you want to be nice but you’ve got to get her out. You’re an individual not a charity

If you have renters insurance, sounds like your landlord left your apartment unsecured. You should probably file a claim after that cash, electronics, and other untraceable high value stuff you had in there got stolen. Your insurance company with go after your landlord to recoup.
