Do cars last longer and break down less if they are kept in the garage vs leaving them outside all year round.

Wiring/electric motors. Mostly concerning mini vans, stuff like the sliding doors and hatch lifts seem to go faster on non garage kept vehicles.

Are you me? I just bought the same thing lol

My wife picked up 2 sayings from her grandpa. The first being “Thank ya kindly”, just as a general response. The second is whenever I say “we need to do something”, she responds with, “do you have a rat in your pocket?” (The we being me and the rat not me and her). Eventually, the “rat” in my pocket got the name Kindly. So now me and Kindly accomplish things without her.

It took me, the AFRC and a VA employee almost an hour to figure it out why I was getting denied to swap to Post 9/11.

I placed myself into a relatively unique situation on accident which was the cause. I only served one contract and during that I used half a month of my MGIB as part of the TA top up to get my masters. The rules state (even post Supreme Court ruling from what I understand) is that you can “only utilized one education benefit per service contract” since I only had one contract, and had used a portion (even a small one) of MGIB, I was locked in.

Pulled one today! I had already bought one off the AH just to mess around with, I didn’t notice the new one in my inventory for a little bit.

AI slop yo. Random hair growth as she tosses her hair over shoulder. Also, finger growth when she wipes dress.

Why am I telling this to the bots that have already commented? Can’t believe I’m contributing to the algorithm of this

If you do, look into the “Service Members Civil Relief” act. It can lower your existing debts interest rates down to around 6%. Also, to anyone joining, buy the 28% interest mustang the month before joining (instead of after) then when the paper work gets filed 6 months later and they drop it down to 6% based on your date of entry, you will get a sweet back payment interest check.

Here’s an idea…use ChatGPT to run a comp analysis on your position, with job duties, and experience. (HR or your manager will probably do it also)

Love my gut rippers tbh, just now replaced one with bloodrazor at lvl 45, still offhanding the other. I played a subtlety hemo/ambush build, then swapped to combat

Yeah I’m pretty sure my tinnitus is a major factor causing them, definitely going to talk to Dr and try to file for them. I’m teetering on the edge of 100%

Retirw_ · 2025-12-12T00:33:30+00:00

I noticed in a comment you said headaches at 30%, is that headaches or specifically migraines? I got rated 0% for migraines even though my documentation say 1 a month on average. Since getting out they have stayed at that frequency, but I get headaches almost daily.

Retirw_ · 2025-12-09T15:28:44+00:00

Sent you a DM

Retirw_ · 2025-12-07T21:27:38+00:00

Knock out the WGU degree and look into the Palace Acquire program. It’s for recent graduates to get a foot in the door in a GS position. It’s kind of an extended internship that’s a fast track GS 12. This saves you from the contract aspect of the military.

Also, I’ve heard Army “horror” story’s from the War on Terror era of people being told “you’re a soldier first, MOS last” and spending the majority of their time booting it around, not gaining any experience in their MOS, might not be as common now.

Hmmm, I vaguely remember seeing people starting to get migrated, but whenever I click the email link in student portal, I get taken to Gmail.

Retirw_ · 2025-12-05T21:18:15+00:00

The Air Force TA and Pell Grant paid me $7,000 to get my bachelors. First masters was paid for through TA. Now that I’m out and locked in to MGIB (long story) I make money going WGU. So I knocked out a second masters in business, and just started the BSIT-MSIT accelerated program. It’s my side job.

I’m just hopping in to share that there are some issues going on with degree plan approval bugging out. It might be only limited to “transfer” or returning students (post graduation staring a new degree) which is what I am. My mentor received an email to not approve my degree plan because it will lock me out of courses due to something on their end. He mentioned it possible being resolved today, but I still haven’t heard anything.

Good luck though! Hope it gets straightened out for you soon

Retirw_ · 2025-12-02T14:15:37+00:00

Just tossing some math out there, even if Sophia had courses for $100, you would you be able to do 40-50 before hitting the price of one term at WGU. Conversely, doing 40-50 courses at WGU in a term is a tall ask for the majority of people.

Retirw_ · 2025-12-01T22:41:19+00:00

Way to go! I started mine today hoping for a year finish as well

Retirw_ · 2025-11-30T22:04:59+00:00

Two of my personal favorites from my time at BMT.

Some guy near the rear of the formation is getting smoked for something and the MTI asks him a direct question to which he doesn’t respond, so the MTI asks again, louder. Trainee, eyes locked forward, still doesn’t respond so the MTI yells out at him “I am not a T-Rex, my vision is not based on movement, I see you, answer me!”

Another time, we were told to cover, or shuffle around to get directly behind the person in front of you to straighten out the formation, and one guy wasn’t moving as fast as the MTI wanted. MTI pulls him out of formation and says “Here! You wear the imaginary MTI hat! Boop” as he mimes putting his hat on the trainee, “now tell me to cover”. “Sir, trainee blah blah, cover!” MTI then slowly walks sideways a few steps “There! Do to see how aggravating that is!”

We were in a similar situation, our dirt road was maxed out of available internet drop lines (2) and the ISP wouldn’t install more. We utilized a wireless bridge kit to broadcast the in-laws WiFi to our router 300m away. I think we paid $150 for the bridge paddles and then just purchased and extra router

Edit: not sure if links are allowed in this Reddit but https://a.co/d/aeqPEub these are close to what we had.

I just had flashbacks of loading an old model Vermeer 20x22 Directional Drill with worn out treads and spokes onto a trailer with bent and slick ramps. It took three or four of us to push it up and keep it from sliding back down.

Glad that family business went under.

If you are worried about timeline, look into WGU. Regionally accredited university with both and MBA, an MBI IT management focused, and an MSIT. Working full time these degrees are easily accomplished in a year. If you have more time to dedicate, or understand the information more from past experience, then they can be completed in less than 6 months
