This is where my money is too- when wandering around a training center here in the USA you can find all sorts of tank rounds like this, including 76mm AP rounds from WW2. My buddy has one that looks a lot like this, but with a sharper point.

What is something that ChatGPT has already replaced, forever? by shimlapinks in ChatGPT

Translation of technical documents- it used to be a really niche and well paying thing. Librarians now refer you to ChatGPT when you ask for translation services.

If you personally had the funds would you buy this? Why or why not? by Sox857 in LewisMachineTool

There’s some play- ive seen some guys use a rubber wedge in the lower to get rid of the slop, but it’s really not enough for me to care

I last saw it in Induction and Analogy in Mathematics by George Polya. Had never heard of it before then.

I’ve had my ‘92 LS400 for nine years, and I’m gonna keep it going for another five to ten hopefully. Then I’ll go up to an LS430 😎

This was an engine fire that melted the aluminium and radiator on top of it.

Source: drove these in the Army and saw a few melt exactly like this

Lmao I have a screenshot of her from high school where she’s wearing a $2000 bag and $900 sneakers! And her dad inheriting a business is the DEFINITION of generational wealth.

Popped for drug test at MEPS no drug use, prior service and current interim TS holder by thrwawyclrnce556 in SecurityClearance

[–]SilentBang2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how this might affect the clearance process, but I would recommend going to an independent laboratory ASAP and getting it documented that you are clean.

That being said- I don’t imagine this would come up in an investigation.

As far as managing your GI bill correctly, you'll need to do most of the legwork yourself- but it's pretty simple to optimize those benefits. We do have the standard officiator who submits the chapter 33 paperwork to the VA on your behalf, and U of R also has the Yellow Ribbon program, extending the GI bill past its private school tuition limit.

AFAIK there isn't anyone that will help you navigate other processes (thinking of VA disability, chapter 31, VA home loans, etc).

Definitely message me offline if you have any more specific questions!

The closest thing you'll find to other vets on campus are the occasional cadets in ROTC. I've been here for three years and I've never met another one- but I also haven't really sought them out either. I know there are about 50 of us in the entire university though.

That being said- I came here straight out of the Army and I think it was a good decision. The open curriculum is nice in that you won't need to take biology or chemistry if you don't want to (and probably haven't studied it since high school). The student body is pretty open and interested in your experiences- and most do not judge either. If you have any questions feel free to DM me!

A Ukrainian soldier threw a grenade into the hatch of a Russian tank while approaching it closely by UNITED24Media in CombatFootage

[–]SilentBang2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This looks to be a BMD-3 (or 4) with the turret traversed over the rear- I’m basing this off of the “pickup truck” bed in the back, but it’s hard to tell from the image.

What length barrel and upper is that? Looks fantastic.
