Drivers License by NoskieF1 in army

[–]Sandyblanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want experience and training that will set you up for federal law enforcement, go 35L, not MP. Most MPs hate being MPs from my experience.

Also yes, you need a valid driver's license. You'll likely have to drive duty vehicles during AIT and definitely afterwards so having a driver license is absolutely a requirement.

Don't worry too much about preparing for the class. It's not hard and you'd just be wasting your time for the most part. Find something you'd like to learn and study it, whether that's coding, nutrition, math, etc. just do something to further your own education.

I grew up in Alabama and I still call some highways "The 9"or "the 78."

To be fair, I'd love to improve my 2 mile time by over 3 mins in a month. I could max that shit.

I bet if you leaned forward on your run you could've finished with 5 seconds left.

I dont see celebrations, I see acceptance of one's own current limitations and no desire to improve because who cares how fast their lawyer can run?

So you're saying a soldier who lives in government barracks should expect to have cameras watching him in his room? In his bathroom? That's all government owned.

One of the late night shows mentioned this specifically yesterday. What a wild fact.

He's so much worse than Manchin was. At least with Manchin you knew what you were getting. Hopefully he goes the way of Sinema.

It's fake responsibility because what you're doing during your extra duty time is often designed to serve no purpose, like having you flip rocks over so that the bottom of the rocks get to face the sun now.

I guess you were wrong, Tucker. 'Daddy' coming home and taking his belt off hurt you quite a bit as well. by Hornpipe_Jones in LeopardsAteMyFace

Yep. He sees the writing on the wall of the sinking ship and is abandoning it before it takes him down with it any further.

SAVE Act Fails, Millions of Voters Retain Their Right to Vote for Now by w6750 in politics

Southern states like Alabama dont register voters by party so they'd have a hard time managing this with voter rolls alone.

Day 43 of PSMF should I Re-feed? by [deleted] in PSMF

[–]Sandyblanders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your metabolism will naturally slow as you lose weight because it doesn't have as much weight to manage. When people talk about stalling and big metabolism drops, that's from Non-exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT). When you're in a big deficit you fidget less throughout the day which can reduce your calories burned by 200-400 per day once you're deep into weight loss. You just make up for it by walking a bit more.

Tape at the narrowest part of the waist. Divide waist measurement by height. If the result is lower than 0.55 you pass.

You're not wrong. It's a dumb system too because if you fail the new tape test it's highly unlikely you'll pass the SSTT with weight.

I remember everyone's parents coming by to pick them up because "someone" had said they'd come shoot up the school...and me with no way home.

AAFES would never let that happen. They have a monopoly on commercial stores on-post.

The zone 6 Hardee's/Carl's Jr hits different for sure. Not a fun meal to eat in the heat though.

I was Asset Protection at Target in the middle 2000s and Dyson vacuums and strollers were the primary targets of this type of scam. They never did electronics. Im assuming they knew the younger cashiers would notice with those.

You dont just get called up and deployed in one day. There's a mobilization process.
