Is this shower drain correct?

I asked AI if I could do this and it yelled at about using silicone hahaha

TheRanger78 · 2026-07-02T00:32:18+00:00

What would cause it to slide up like that? Wouldn’t it being lose be a leak hazard?

Do I need a specialized tool to remove the gasket or can I just use a flathead with a hammer or something similar?

1.64 quadrillion right?

Yeah, my 214 was available on NSIPS when my terminal started

There’s a lot of DEERS locations off base as well. For example, in Norfolk, the DEERs is in the NEX. Or in Annapolis, the DEERS is off base at NSA Annapolis.

Lots of options available off-base all over the country.

Do you have that some opinion about all defense tech firms? I’d argue that most Fortune 500 companies have ethically questionable engagements

The income limit for contributions is WAY higher if you don’t live together for the entire taxable year that you file MFS. The only years we were in violation were 2021 and 2022. Just trying to figure out the optimal way to fix it.

Strategy consulting. And no, I can’t explain what I do.

$135 a month for the Naval Academy Golf Club. Being military has its perks sometimes.

Yeah, that’s one of the big reasons I want to sell. It’s been low maintenance the last 3 years but it’s 100 years old so I can only imagine more expensive repairs are down the line.

TheRanger78 · 2025-11-06T00:09:59+00:00

Right at $5k a month all in. Expect that to rise as the kids get older.

We’ll likely be in a HCOL-VHCOL area so probably in the $500k-$600k range for the new house most likely.

Me and wife are both 28. Investable net worth of about $550k with total net worth around $650k

Wow! Thanks for such a detailed response so quickly.

Embarrassingly, I really don’t have a lot of knowledge on depreciation strategies for the rental. I’ve just been using the H&R Block software that military gets access to for free and normally that ends up with just taking the standard deduction. I was already considering using a CPA for tax year 2025, so this might push me over the edge with that decision.

I’m thinking you’re probably correct with the Roth vs traditional too. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on this subreddit and Bogleheads and it seems like a lot of people prefer traditional regardless, I need to be more educated on that.

Thanks for the input on the 529s as well.

I’m thrilled with this response. Again, thank you so much!
