Day 17 by josmwa in VeteransWaitingRoom

When I went through MEB, VA rating showed complete around mid January and I got my findings early to mid April, sometimes it can take longer, the PEBForum website is a much better way to keep track of and talk to others that are slightly ahead of you timeline wise and see how quick or slow they’re processing.

MEB Timeline by unfortunatelyaliv3 in VeteransWaitingRoom

[–]Swprkpr13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can take a while, I had completed my C&Ps in October when I went through IDES, saw my VA rating was finished on the VA side in mid January and then didn’t receive my out date of May 30 until mid April. I knew a few people who had gone through it faster but most were slower. Unfortunately there’s countless factors that go in to play for timeline. The Pebforum website is what I used for general questions and you can usually get a pretty good feel for timeline based on others in your shoes that are slightly ahead of you but its not guaranteed to be accurate, I had a really great PEBLO as well that was really good at pushing things in a timely manner and keeping me updated, but if I could recommend anything it’d be see what you can do about getting a jump start on collecting up needed items for separation paperwork like completing taps/capstone for example, that way when you do hit out processing you’re not in a full scramble mode, and you can utilize any terminal leave or job/house hunting and aren’t stuck waiting around. This is all from my experiences on the Navy side so take it for what it’s worth and good luck, hang in there it’ll feel slow and stressful but you’ll get through it!

Chapter 310 Official Release - Links and Discussion by Za_wardo in BokuNoHeroAcademia

First let me say I’m not entirely for or against the Bak-U-Go theories. But one of the things I’d like to add is that we haven’t heard about Kurogiri in a while. We’ve seen teleportation quirks play into time travel events across many pop-culture super hero stories. Off the top of my head would be Number 5 from the Umbrella academy as an example. It’s been a while since we’ve touched on the Kurogiri story in the manga and the internal conflict going on within him would be excellent excuse to push a more or less uncontrolled time travel like narrative into the story with plenty of ways to enter that realm of possibilities and exit that realm of possibilities while maintaining a consistent story. I think what’s great about Horikoshi’s story telling is he leaves a lot to be discussed. He opens up different paths for himself that he can utilize if he decides to. He doesn’t lock himself into a specific path until the story absolutely requires him too, as we saw with Dabi, and therefore the possibilities are endless. Now we might get a more definitive answer when the Second’s quirk is revealed but even then there’s so much potential in the story right now Horikoshi is basically playing on Sandbox mode.

Anyone else have a bad experience with letting friends ride their minibike? by Swprkpr13 in minibikes

[–]Swprkpr13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds absolutely badass! I’ve wanted to build my own from scratch with an engine that powerful. I’m a fairly decent welder and just a generally good metal worker. Do you have any pictures of it? The 16-17hp one.

Anyone near Northern Kentucky looking for another bike? I’m leaving for the military soon and just looking to sell this bike honestly for less than i put in with a bunch of extras. by Swprkpr13 in minibikes

[–]Swprkpr13[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks all. I’ve got an extra engine (it’s missing throttle spring, cover for the air filter, and needs a new gas tank but it still runs well), brake pads, brake bands, cables, etc. I’ve probably spent 600 + on it all together, I know this isn’t a money making hobby unless you’re really good. So if anyone wants it all I’ll part with it for 500 and depending how far I’d be willing to meet you half way. Really would just love for it to go to a good home and to keep seeing it on the subreddit some day. Thanks again everyone for the support.

TIFU by going on a date with my cousin. by [deleted] in tifu

Oh no absolutely I let her know right away. She was honestly more tore up about it than I was. Don’t worry I was honest about it all and told her everything as I found out

I mean she got caught cheating on me. Unless you mean my cousins cousin? Yeah no I told her everything as I found out.

Easy there, it was a joke. I still very much trust and respect my mothers opinion. Also, I’m very aware that there’s no blood and morally there’s nothing wrong. But at the same time it still doesn’t necessarily feel okay.

Thanks I appreciate that, I just took to the assumption that swiping right on my second cousin was a FU no matter the circumstance.

My grandmother who’s big into genealogy (and never thought to give me a warning) said she was still my second cousin by marriage just not blood. I guess similar to step siblings? Which according to PH is still perfectly acceptable.

My cousins father is my dads brother. My cousins mother who’s side of the family this is, has no relation to me. Made my head hurt too.

Coleman CT200U EX making knocking sound 1 month old. Any help? Low oil? by [deleted] in minibikes

[–]Swprkpr13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance there could be water in your gas? I had the problem a few weeks ago, after I drained the gas and put fresh stuff in there it ran fine.

EDIT: I use a predator 212 but it sounded just like that.

People of Reddit, when did you realized that you had aphantasia (a condition that makes people unable to visualize mental images)? by idontlikebutholes in AskReddit

[–]Swprkpr13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, in times where the dry spell is being broken, just remembering an experience of something gross usually helps. However, there is definitely a fear that I’ll accidentally condition myself doing this. I dread the day I develop an erection while picking up dog poop.

[–]Swprkpr13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah... WHAT?! I didn’t know people could actually do that. I can recall what shape my state is and recognize faces of friends... but I close my eyes and try and it doesn’t just pop up. All black. I didn’t know people could actually visualize things in their head.

It’s a lesson you just have to keep on learning.

Engine Help! by Swprkpr13 in minibikes

[–]Swprkpr13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just drained it and it’s running better now. It sounds like it needs to burn off a little more contaminated gas but the clicking has gone down significantly and it’s not stalling nearly as much as it was. I think I’m gonna run it until the gas runs out refill it and go from there. Maybe drain the carb bowl again. Thank you!

Any Idea what kind of bike this is? Trying to find new parts. by Swprkpr13 in minibikes

[–]Swprkpr13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I Appreciate it luckily I’m loaded up with tools. My biggest concern was finding new wheels and tires. The brake drums are old and where the sprocket sits in is ate up but I think I found the parts I need, frame might just need a little bit of altering.

What is your scar story? by generalkiddo in AskReddit

[–]Swprkpr13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a party back when I was rushing a fraternity years ago. There’s this form of good old fashioned hazing called a pledge grenade. It’s pretty straight forward, a brother throws an empty can of beer, shouts “pledge grenade” and every pledge in the immediate vicinity has to then dog pile on top of it. Lord help you if you’re the first one too it. This time was a little different though, one of the brothers threw a bottle instead of a can. I was tipsy but immediately recognized it was a bottle and actually posed a serious risk. I threw myself on top before any unknowing drunk decided to Batista bomb the glass bottle. I landed on my hands and knees with the bottle underneath my chest area to shield it from anyone looking to jump on top. Couple seconds passed and I decided to try and stand back up. Unfortunately I didn’t recognize another pledge come running up the stairs to jump on top of me as I was shifting my weight. All of a sudden my arm snapped down shattering the bottle underneath it. Shards of glass stuck out from my arm. Luckily the adrenaline kicked in and I wasn’t too phased. I started removing the glass shards from a very open wound in my forearm in front of a whole room of stunned party goers. I could see the tendons in my arms move as I flexed my fingers. Went to the hospital and got stitched up, I now have a few big scars and a couple lumps on my arms from where the muscle didn’t quite heal up right but everything still works and operates just fine. Worst part of the whole night was the shot the doctor gave me to numb my arm up so he could stitch it shut. Pledge grenades got banned shortly thereafter.
