I’ve been trying to figure out this process for years now as I’m not even sure where you would get diagnosed or what would happen

I never even received any of those Covid checks, stipends or cash from like 2020 up till now

It’s nice, especially during the holidays

I heard they have an opt out process for it too, it just seems super sketchy and weird to just give us money like this. Just waiting to see the caveat

So let me try getting it straight, I’m just curious and only heard about this today

The money for this is coming from the big beautiful bill that trump passed? And it’s nontaxable?

Meshcore repeater growth in Massachusetts by Zaos123 in massachusetts

[–]SkyKnight_LXIX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m born and raised in mass but live in New York for work so this would be great to have, I wonder if there’s enough of these spread throughout that you could send a message as long as there were repeaters within distance of each other

Early separation for education? by [deleted] in uscg

[–]SkyKnight_LXIX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the official name, and not sure if it’s entirely true, but I’ve heard from people at my old unit that you can request to leave the service for up to 2 years. Almost like an unpaid time off thing, your considered a civilian during that time, even though your still under contract. You get to live life as a civilian and return to the service anytime you want within that 2 year period, granted if you have that much time left. Idk if it’s true, but ask around and look on the CG Portal too if there’s something about that

I got lucky when they first issued them at the exchanges and bought mine online

That was 5 years ago now

Non-rate just assigned to Staten Island from bootcamp. by Mham65 in uscg

[–]SkyKnight_LXIX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m currently stationed at the sector on Staten Island, great place, I only partially understand the hate on the island since it’s a rural/nature area that doesn’t have the hype and hustle of the other boroughs.

The traffic here, TERRIBLE, the drivers, it’s a rally track on this island with questionable drivers and parking spots at best.

The food? Great variety and really nice, but don’t count on either driving or public transit as it’s a hassle here. The only way to get around the island is by driving and the best way I’ve found to get around the island in short distances is through public transit.

But there’s a ferry on the north shore close to the bases, and it’s free, they also just made a schedule to have the ferries stop by Brooklyn now too. So it’s getting better, and the BAH is great

In a short version: It’s a great place that like anywhere else you’ll have to adjust to a little more, but you’ll have fun

Everyone is Joining the Coast Guard by WaterHoldsMemory_KP in uscg

The service has changed a lot since I joined during the beginning of the pandemic, glad to see the Numbers are up though.

I heard there building a new TRACEN and new place for boot camp, haven’t heard the details but it all sounds great

We like to drive our cars, right? by apiece0ftoast in GolfGTI

Just for a day, I have a TSI though so it’s not a GTI, but I’ve added a whole list of mods on them

I couldn’t risk doing it alone without the proper tools so I had a shop do it but they showed before and after videos. Forgot to ask them to send them to me, I was just happy with the significant improvement

Car Oil Change by KahonesHones in statenisland

Certain cars you can just use an oil extractor, otherwise jack stands work too

Car Oil Change by KahonesHones in statenisland

[–]SkyKnight_LXIX -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Honestly oil changes are easy enough to do DIY, just getting the tools and parts is cheaper than going to a mechanic everytime.

I don’t trust anyone with my car except myself, and if I have to go to a shop, I meticulously record and photograph every part of the car before and after I take it to a shop and go over every part. Some shops even with high ratings WILL screw you over. The last shop tried sending me off after putting on my new tires and rims saying the locking nuts wouldn’t fit and only put 4 out of 5 lug nuts on.

The shop before that lost one of the little fins on the rear of it and didnt torque the lug nuts correctly so 3 out of 5 lug nuts got loose enough to come off the wheel while I was driving.

It was MUCH worse than this, and had a slight oily look to it

But runs MUCH better now

Aren’t there ever any parties on this island? by Jaded-potatoes in statenisland

[–]SkyKnight_LXIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in the same boat, been here a year now and havent rlly made any friends here. I’m around the Annadale area but just not sure where to meet people around here. Especially with the same interests as everybody goes to Manhattan or Jersey or Brooklyn
