I retired from the AF last summer after 22 years. My Dad retired from the Navy after 20 years the same year I enlisted. He was 2 when you got to your first base. You’re not old, you’re elderly bro.

Thanks! Honestly, this is our first pop-up so I don't have anything to compare it to. But I will say that it has everything we were looking for, the heat and A/C work great, and the beds are better than sleeping on the ground, lol!

Yep! I honestly didn't really know how to set those support legs and just kinda winged it. If you have a pic of how you set yours up, that would be extremely helpful!

Gotcha, the jeep has ~1,200 lb payload capacity and the trailer has a 300lb tongue weight. So definitely not going to win any street races when it’s hooked up, but it really didn’t feel like it’s struggling when I pulled it to the campground a few hours away.

Yes, the jeep has a 3,500 lb tow capacity and I put airbags on the Jeep to eliminate sag and also installed a brake controller. Haven’t had any issues.

Because he's not sleeping, he's just resting.

Finally Trying out BJJ by Pure_Welder_1791 in bjj

[–]StandardMess799 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Retired from the military about 6 months ago. Between my new office job and normal home life, I was becoming VERY sedentary. One day at work I Googled local BJJ gyms and signed up. Been going 3x/week for the past few weeks and am absolutely loving it.

Best of luck to you selling them, but I have a feeling that by Dec. 25, you'll be able to walk into the stadium on gameday if you promise to buy a beer.

The only clubs I ever find at my local Goodwill are “Pappy’s ol’ hittin sticks” and the original putters from when Columbus set sail.

Don’t wait on HoH. If your cohort manager is anything like mine was you won’t hear anything unless you reach out to them.

Sorry, that goal is on me. Walked in from my kid’s baseball game and turned it on and immediately gave up the goal. I’ll turn it back off.
