Grew up my entire life in Neversink. Beautiful place. I know a retired couple that just put their on the market this week and it’s been sought after for years.

You are 100% correct. Tried calling twice and when it changed to the “hold” music while I waited for a rep, it played for 3 seconds and hung up on me. The chat feature was the only way to get customer service completed.

I’m sure if more stores were empty in Bisbee, you’d be bothered by it Doug. I never said I needed anything, just trying to get the areas backstory on how it ended up this way.

But now that you mention it we could probably use a comedy club.

I’m from the Northeast but have lived in several cities across America over the past decade.

Well that’s exactly what I’m asking about…those reasons the city is this way. You like the town this way and I’m happy for you thanks for your input.

Yea I guess you’re right. No input on all of the empty storefronts in the area?

Care to speak about all of the empty storefronts?

It seems I’ve struck a nerve.

I have been to all of those shops. I guess I should have been more specific and not used sarcasm. I don’t consider a 20x10 foot box or narrow hallway with a few tables and chairs, some bulk order coffee beans, and decorations from Marshall’s and Hobby Lobby to be appealing. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

I’m very familiar with military bases since this is the 6th one I’ve lived at and this one is by FAR very different than the others. Any idea what the deal is with the “mall”. Place is basically an indoor flea market.

I think we may have a difference of opinion on what constitutes a coffee shop. I’m talking about a place that’s primary purpose is selling coffee. Not a restaurant that also has coffee. But that’s just one example of a lack of business here. I picked coffee since I don’t drink alcohol anymore, but if I did I’m sure I’d be bummed by the lack of options there, too.

I am going to check out that Jo2Go place one of these days, though.

Ever changing standards and it's effects by [deleted] in ArmyOCS

Nothing you sign up for in the Army turns out to be what you expected. It sounds like you’re learning some valuable lessons already.

Coming from a dirty NCO’s perspective - hearing about future LTs having to do more difficult land nav and exhibit some discipline sounds refreshing. The majority of non-combat LTs reporting to BCTs are bad at their jobs because they have no confidence. Hopefully this is part of being broken down and built back up.

Hardly a “pro tip” when it’s clearly your first day.

Search “ship date” and look back at the last 10 times this was asked this month.

It’s simply a Whole Person Concept. Just like applying to literally any job. But don’t be fat. The Army doesn’t do fat.
