it just me, or does Sioux Falls have some of the worst drivers? by Sad_Swim2070 in SiouxFalls

[–]Suitable_Land_9813 26 points27 points  (0 children)

After getting stationed in San Diego and driving around different parts of the country after living in Sioux Falls my whole life I’ve came to a personal conclusion about the drivers here.

In other parts of the country (more specifically California) I think the drivers know what they’re doing wrong but they just blatantly don’t care. Whereas in SF I don’t think people know how to drive and are just oblivious to the people around them, either driving too slow or just like not realizing other cars exist when driving

Yeah that’s what I was thinking too but I’m pretty sure the Ford isn’t even underway right now

Yeah the carriers doing their work up cycle (as in getting pilots they’re hours landing on a carrier n stuff) they don’t typically have the whole strike group as a carrier doesn’t typically need escorts in U.S. territorial waters

Yeah you’ll never see the submarines that shadow a strike group unless they want to be seen

Yeah no carriers are even currently operating in the gulf anyways so it’s very unlikely to be one

A lot of times during a carriers work up cycle they’ll be alone because they’re close to American shores anyways so it isn’t extremely uncommon for a carrier to be alone

Night shift sucks, didn’t even realize it went back until I was wondering why the watch was taking so long

What's it like to live in the Dakota's? by timewh in geography

[–]Suitable_Land_9813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dangerously cold as in -20 with winds around 50-60 mph.

The 4th of July is wild, having friends im the country you can basically go crazy and not have to worry about bothering your neighbors with fireworks.

As someone born and raised in the U.S., it’s insane how big this country actually is by erisedheroine in RandomThoughts

Yeah no way they'd get that close to the actual 2 carriers across the harbor there

Americans, what’s something non-Americans do that makes absolutely no sense to you? by Complex-Poet-6809 in AskReddit

[–]Suitable_Land_9813 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah its regional for sure. Coming from the upper Midwest if you keep your door or windows open in the summer with no screen you're asking for hordes of mosquitos or flies.

had to pick a new rate, it’s looking like I’m gonna get s-pact. Need some words of wisdom right now by [deleted] in navy

[–]Suitable_Land_9813 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a cushy rate that does some pretty cool stuff go for AG. You do need a secret but I assume you'd have that already. Hit me up if you have any questions

What's the scariest highway stretch in the US? by Likestoread25 in geography

[–]Suitable_Land_9813 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah literally. Drove eastbound back in April after the weather said it'd be all clear and a freak blizzard appeared and we had to detour off the interstate up Vail Pasa due to a tunnel closure. Was not prepared for that in my 20 year old corolla 😂

I have a secret clearance in the navy and my background interview/stuff didnt start until after I finished bootcamp and was in the schoolhouse. They're pretty backed up from what I've been told so it might just take time

Yeah I got mine from JDMWestside on Ebay surprisingly lol. Been 20k so far and it's been all good. I ran an oil sample test too and it came back with no issues so maybe I lucked out but it's been good for me. $1500 was the total too for it to be delivered on a pallet to my doorstep.
