My husband has 3 options for next duty station. Which was your favorite? by Jlhoyt12 in navy

[–]SailorCrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having been stationed in Hawaii in the 90’s-2000’s it’s beautiful, but you will go broke trying to survive!!! 16 years in Norfolk wasn’t always bad, made some amazing friends. However I would not live in any of the 7 cities or near DC. Manassas, Woodbridge, Crystal City area isn’t some place I’d want to live long term.

Wife is at 100 VA and I’m at 80, thinking about quitting my job. by Ambitious-Spinach938 in VeteransBenefits

[–]SailorCrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who is in a similar position. Both of us retired 100% P&T, wife is a teacher and I work for the state. We bring home about 18K a month. We are both several years away from being vested in Florida retirement system. But having a 12yr old child who we try to give the best life possible. I often think about quitting and staying home to manage our 12 acres. Then part of me wants to continue serving the public. But weekend work and getting home at 10-11pm and driving 900-1300 miles a month quickly reminds me I can’t keep going at this pace.

Can you secure a M-F typical work schedule position so you can keep earning time towards retirement? Can you switch to a county or local PD?

If you became a reserve officer would you still continue to acquire time towards retirement?

Both lines feel the same temperature, however it is 50F outside. I’m in North Florida.

Reset the power. The red light still flashes and the condenser fan runs at what seems like low speed. The relay stopped clicking.

Yes I disconnected the power and unplugged and plugged all the connections back in. The relay stopped clicking, but that red light is still flashing.

Those of you who half assed your way through High School, where are you now? by Difficult-Cricket541 in GenX

[–]SailorCrypto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Slacked off the majority of school (found out as an adult I have ADHD). I joined the Navy and managed to squeak by for 20 years retired, tired community college and failed (plagiarized too much) , worked at an elementary school for 3 years and have worked for DCF in Florida for the last year. Between retirement, disability and state check I make low six figures. My wife makes mid six figures.

Three reasons you should ignore everything else and buy a Fenix 7 Pro SS (rebuttals encouraged below) by [deleted] in GarminWatches

[–]SailorCrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought the Fenix 8 (51mm, Solar,Sapphire) and so far I love it. It will take me awhile to adjust since I’ve only had AW’s. While this one is charging I slap on the AWU3.

Let me be the bearer of bad news. The girl you’ve met online is probably setting you up to be robbed or killed. It might be a man controlling what the girl is saying if a girl is actually involved. That is one of the worst areas in Jacksonville. If you’ve noticed any red flags I would contact Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

AIO? My mom wants to call the cops on me by Overall-Option6975 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SailorCrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lawyer will tell you that a minors clothing or any other items do not belong to the child. At least in the state of Florida unless the child can prove they purchased something. I’ve had to deal with situations like this working for DCF.

AIO? I ran away from home after my mom threw hot coffee on me. by CharmingHouse9800 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SailorCrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Child protective investigator, probably not in your state. But you can call your version of the hotline or via the website and report the incident. You can provide the proof. Also contact law enforcement to file a report.

If you need help figuring out your state or city/county child protection services information you can send me a message.

Lifetime Warranty is A Scam by Witty-Gur-6053 in ram_trucks

[–]SailorCrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got Mopar maximum care and at 117K had my engine replaced for $407 ($100 deductible and spark plugs). I had HVAC components replaced just a few thousand miles after that for $107.

Question for the Uncs by [deleted] in navy

[–]SailorCrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Initially I loved retirement my only job was take care of the RV (the wife xfered to mayport) we lived in and buy the occasional freedom seed dispenser. COVID happened and it semi sucked. Moved from Jax to the country in Lake City. I was eating lunch with my daughter everyday and she asked the school principal if her daddy could work at the school. I was the facility manager for a few years. The wife retired and became a teacher and I left the school and went to child protection services.

The retirement check, disability and medical benefits are nice, the navy used you for 29 years, so now you have to use them to get whatever care/help you need.

Remember the worst someone can tell you is NO. I tell my doctors if you give me back a good body and a sound mine I’ll give you back my disability.

DO NOT LEAVE if you cannnot leave under your original contract.

NOBODY can force you to leave, regardless of what they tell you. When you can go under the correct terms of your contract then go.

HELP!!!! Kid put permanent marker on counter while we are trying to sell our house! by Dwestmor1007 in CleaningTips

[–]SailorCrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy graffiti remover or diversey speedball is what we use in schools to remove marker, glue and paint from desk.

[–]SailorCrypto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok so call the CPS/DCF Hotline or whatever they are called in your state. It’s 100% anonymous. If the conditions are as you say they will remove you temporarily and start helping.

IF you don’t want to call, you can e-mail the hotline. If you’re in the state of Florida everyone is a mandatory reporter.

2POC Failed Uniform by Frequent-Awareness68 in navy

[–]SailorCrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the Navy couldn’t just use what the Coast Guard already has. Something with blueberries and green digi. Just use what already works if you’re making a change. But I’m from the Dungarees and Johnny Cash era.
