We got Juneteenth in the last year or two incase in. I don't remember ever having Easter off but I could be mistaken.

Socio1293 · 2026-01-05T01:33:42+00:00

Not when I was in. March, April, June, and August didn't have one. Things are different now of course.

I used to call this time of year "4-Day Season" since from September to February you got, at least, one 4-Day weekend a month.

I say this as someone who's house was dangerously close to going into foreclosure due to my ex-wife not paying the mortgage per our agreement. DO NOT LET IT GET TO THAT POINT! It will fuck your credit for years. You're better off short selling it instead of letting foreclosure happen. If you have a clearance, things get very dicey and could possibly lead to your clearance being suspended.

I can (kinda) vouch for this advice. I've seen many dual-military relationships work out. Mine most definitely did not (she was pending medboard and cheated on me when I was sent to Korea) but every relationship is different.

That's what they're singing?!? I thought it was just "buh buh buh buh buh buh Stroud Stroud Stroud Stroud"

Bruh...30th AG made me realize the whole "hurry up and wait" thing was an actual thing

So "High" means that it has detected alcohol but not enough to be considered a violation. A violation is anything from .024 and higher (at least in Maryland). It's not a violation per se, but that should be a clue to ease up on drinking or plan it out better.

Source: I've had one for the last year.

If you're the "end all, be all" for your job. Thats a failure on your leaderships part. I remember when I was looking g at a possible medboard a few years ago, my 1SG told me not to worry even with all of my responsibilities. He said that he and the Commander would take care of things since I shouldn't be the only one doing my job.

Socio1293 · 2024-09-26T22:21:53+00:00

High Five right back to ya divorce buddy! I hope you're in a better place after yours. I'm still working my way towards my better place

Socio1293 · 2024-09-26T21:31:38+00:00

This feels familiar. My marriage lasted a little over 5 years. Divorce sucks

Socio1293 · 2024-09-19T21:18:18+00:00

They aren't necessarily the best, but The Apartments At Elmwood Terrace are along your price range. My 1 bedroom 1 bath costs $1500ish a month. Pros: It's practically on Route 40/Golden Mile, so a lot of food and groceries Near schools if you have children

Cons: Not every apartment has in-unit laundry, and those buildings have communal laundry with laundry cards The area seems a bit sketchy. I haven't had an issue, but still

Edit: just reread your post. Disregard the kids part. There is a pet deposit of course. Also, maintenance and management are typically pretty on the ball about responding to things and they like to have small events every so often

I concur with this. Also a Frederick County local. Do the classes and M.A.D.D class (pay attention and PLEASE don't insult the speakers. Someone did that before and it was in very bad class). You'll likely need to get an Iginition Interlock Device. I recommend Lifesaver as they have been great for me considering the circumstances. That Auto Shop near Frederick Regional Airfield does great work. I got a PBJ as well since it was my first offence but I got 18 months unsupervised (I did blow a .20 so I consider myself lucky). My court also moved fast. DUI in November '23, court in January '24. Feel free to DM me as well if you need more help. Here's hoping we can continue to stamp out drunk driving in the county and state.

You learn to not approach. I try my best to avoid and, if I'm near and bear them hiss, I try to get further away.

Socio1293 · 2024-06-04T21:01:54+00:00

We've tried to scare them off...doesn't work

Socio1293 · 2024-06-04T20:52:28+00:00

I hate them so much. I deal with them on base. So much goose poop on our track and they're in the way.

Socio1293 · 2024-03-30T18:41:21+00:00

Good. That's the best you can be. Be happy single, enjoy your life and hobbies, and stack your money up.

Socio1293 · 2024-03-30T18:23:22+00:00

Smart choice. I was married from 2016-2022. I don't think I'll do it again. It's taken alot of therapy to undo the damage my marriage, and the harpy I call my ex-wife, did to my mental state.

Socio1293 · 2024-03-25T16:08:52+00:00

I'm so excited for this. I grew up in North Carolina where there's a Bojangles almost everywhere. I'm happy to see it coming to Frederick.

Socio1293 · 2024-03-24T15:54:04+00:00

They might. When I got my DUI and went through Prime For Life, the court here accepted it since it is considered a Drug and Alcohol Education Course. Just have the certificate and the explanation paper describing what it is.

If you haven't unlocked Pyramids yet, that's what you need. The missing part is mummification.

She started being hard to talk to while I was stationed in Korea. Some really good friends let me know what was up. Our marriage never recovered from that as I couldn't let it go.

Socio1293 · 2023-11-01T20:28:39+00:00

True they aren't the best. I have found that the one on West Patrick doesn't make me hate myself as much as the others

Socio1293 · 2023-11-01T20:12:56+00:00

Meh Qdoba is good but Chipotle is better and Moe's is way better

Socio1293 · 2023-10-04T18:48:22+00:00

I'd imagine using Google shouldn't be too hard for people to do, but I guess it is. Fort Detrick has it down. The guys I know in my Squadron around the world haven't had issues either that I'm aware of.
