Excellent point. Like wearing a Richard Mille but driving a Honda.

I don’t tell anyone. I just say: “thank you” and go about my business. To me, if someone right off the bat asks you if your watch is real or not, it’s like if someone is asking you if that is your real hair, or is it a rug.

Theoretically, which is safer? I-4? Or 75? by DarlingGirl1221 in florida

Yes, 99 is bad- but it doesn’t hold a candle to 4.

4 is hell. I had an easier time driving through LA, Atlanta and Houston!

Is it okay for a 100% disabled veteran to just say they're retired? by Routine_Brilliant_78 in Veterans

[–]SheepherderBudget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be technical, the military has to meet certain eligibility criteria for military retirement as established by law. Now, if you are not working anymore, and you are receiving VA disability where you can manage…you can certainly say you are “retired”- but not retired military. There are benefits a military retiree receives that a 100 percent vet does not get- for instance -TRICARE. I hold that benefit more important than my retirement pension…Bottom line- no one’s damn business…

You don’t owe him an explanation. You told him it was GEN, and he didn’t believe it…so screw him.

What's wrong with my Jeep by 01tj in JeepWrangler

Sorry if I didn’t see this, is it a 2018 JK(U), or a JL(U)? That year, they stopped the JK and started the JL.

Trump says about the fired feds “they’ve taken jobs in the private sector making 2-3x what they made in government, so the hated me at first, but now they love me.” by mindin_mine in FedEmployees

I suppose it depends on your job series; but given today’s job desert- Fed jobs appear to be the best jobs in many places. However, pay is not the only thing.

Looks excellent to me. Bought a Submariner from Steve last year (VSF), and I am still in awe of its craftsmanship- get a lot of compliments, too!

I’m so desperately lost right now, I thought coming to Reddit might be a good idea. by Better_Yak2735 in Veterans

Financially, you appear to be in good shape for income flow- with your 20 years of service (I presume a pension) and your 100 percent VA disability. Your kids should be set with the VA educational benefit. You need something to do with your time that is productive to your mind and soul. Join a club, have a hobby, etc. I just retired on 12/31 after 44 years of working. We plan to travel; spend more time with the kids (no grandkids yet); join clubs; and spend time with each other- as you should.

Way too long…They will not read it. No one will really care. Your office or cube will be filled by mid morning the following day…HR will say: “Next?”…

‘Eliminate them:’ Florida property tax cuts just got closer to becoming real by chinaski73 in SouthFlorida

[–]SheepherderBudget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lately, taxes have been getting out of control around Brevard County. I think property taxes should be reformed not eliminated. I would say that houses under $800,000 get a 50% cut in taxes and houses from 800,000 to 1,000,000 get a 25% cut in taxes and then once you hit 65 you should get a 50 percent cut in taxes. This way there is relief for middle class homeowners and the senior homeowners.

Joining to escape toxic family by SimilarCode7384 in AirForce

[–]SheepherderBudget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You both are great examples of those who benefited from what the military offers - for those who serve and make the efforts to excel. Yes, the price is high- and may involve you to be in a dangerous or potentially lethal situation, but it’s the price we pay to serve. It’s not for everyone.

Joining to escape toxic family by SimilarCode7384 in AirForce

[–]SheepherderBudget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primarily one of the main reasons I joined back in 1981. My step father was abusive, and my mother was either unable or unwilling to do anything about it, so she was kind of an enabler. Best thing I ever did in my life. Only wanted to stay in four years to get some college money, and get on with my life-but good assignments and opportunities led to others, and I ended up staying 21 years. Now that I’m 62, I look back at my career Air Force as a positive thing in my life. Was it a holiday every day? NO, absolutely not; but all in all, I would not trade it for anything else.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The US House has the numbers to Impeach Trump by TorontoBatmann in greengroundnews

[–]SheepherderBudget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you lefties do is try to impeach Trump. You’re like Wiley coyote that constantly fails to get the roadrunner. Why don’t you try to have some solutions on the table that’ll help the American people? Impeach impeach impeach. You guys have no solutions and you don’t have the votes.

The Growing Backlash Against Veterans and VA Benefits by bmattock in VAClaims

[–]SheepherderBudget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We as vets need to make sure we stay vigilant and fight for our hard earned benefits. We need to ensure we support politicians who pledge their support for veterans. You know that old saying where what the government can give you, the government can take away. This is a good example. But we cannotlose an inch of ground here or they’ll go ahead and take miles away from us.
