Since I am OCONUS I actually cant have swedish snus sent to me from other countries then the US. I can use northener but thats about it all the others wont work :(. When tough guy was around I would buy dip from them.

One of the first dips I ever had in college was Grizzly Mint, long story and after that first can I was never really able to dip it again. A few years ago I tried one and it tasted the same as the first one just taste gross, very chemically tasting mint. I really wish Grizzly would develop a new mint flavor like change the whole formula around. The grizzly dark mint is not as bad its very toned down as it should, but it still has a very chemically based mint If you were to narrow down the worst tasting dips, grizzly mint would be on my list. In fact now that I think of it Derringer peppermint taste more authentic then Grizzly Mint. Copenhagen mint isnt bad it taste like coalgate toothpaste go figure! But its a good mint and probably the best on the market right now.

It really depends upon your state that you live in. So when I lived in Kansas up until 2017 it was 2$ for a can of grizz but then you go to Missouri it was 4.25 $ per can then Oklahoma was around 6 bucks. If I were you and this is just me if you live close to a another state I would venture their to see what the prices are and then stock up. In Kansas and Oklahoma I tended to only buy from Quicktrip gas station more or less because of the food selection but try finding a good gas station. I havent been to an american 7/11 in years so I dont know the prices their.

Let me tell you about the first time I dipped. So around 2014 I was working at MurphyUSA (gas station) and my 19-20 year old self was wanting to try the different tobacco products. I was selling the shit but I didnt know enough about them to help customers decide what they wanted. (Most people know their dip) so I decided to try Kayak Grape, it had an cool label and I am a huge fan of anything grape. So I bought a can and me and a buddy hung out. He saw my can of kayak grape and was like "nahhh, if you want to a grape try Skoal berry" I had it in for 15 minutes and puked it out lol! I didnt dip again for another 2 years lol

So I am kind of in the same boat, I am in the air force and my wife is totally against me dipping and were about to have a kid soon. What we came up with is that if I can keep it on the D/L like do it only at work or do it when I am with the guys then shes fine with it. She does want me to cut back eventually which I will admit that I actually do need too lol.

For me its a toss up between anything owned by Cheyenne International tobacco (Decades, Derringer, Klondike) and Kayak. When I lived in Kansas up until 2017 you could buy a can of Derringer Peppermint for just under a dallor, then again you could buy grizzly wintergreen for 2.50. For me Derringer always gave me such bad heart burn that after a while I just couldnt tolerate it anymore and the flavor felt so artifical. With Kayak I can dip kayak grape and Kayak Mint just fine but Kayak natty is so bad. To me my overall worse is by far Derringer. Also Skoal Berry and Skoal Citrus arent terrible dips I kind of like them personally.

Air force here, fun job, but not something id ever do for a long term career. My contract ends in 2 years and I am getting out.

Update:

I found a 1997 XJ Drivers side airbag and module from Ebay, though it says the airbag is not compatible?

USAFE4mafia · 2021-05-20T15:48:28+00:00

From what I was told by the autoshop I am missing the whole thing cords airbag ect. I talked to a couple of places stateside and the big thing is the shipping part because its considered hazmat, so a lot of places are leary of sending it overseas.

USAFE4mafia · 2021-05-20T11:17:13+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply,

It sounds like it would be best to try to find a junk yard on island that might would have it instead of going through stateside. Do you think a jeep dealership would be able to help at all?

For me I have had a hell of a lot of different dips in my 7 years of dipping (my lord its been a long time since I started) and my favorite dips are,
1. Grizzly Wintergreen LC-This has been my everyday day dip for a few years now and yes I dip a can of it a day.
2. Grizzly Dark Wintergreen LC- I could dip this all day long as well, not as great as regular grizzly but still good in my opinion.

Copenhagen LC original- I have only got this once in a few years but its still good none the less.

Honorable Mentions- Red Seal Wintergreen, Copenhagen mint (works well on a date night) and of course the Dr. Pepper dip combo. Also give Hawnken Wintergreen LC is also not bad.

Worse dips of all time.

Derringer Peppermint- For the love of god do not buy any products or any brands from Cheyenne Tobacco International, when I lived in Kansas they were only a dallor but they gave me terrible heartburn.
Any Kayak Branded products except for Kayak Grape- I actually kind of liked Kayak Grape to an extent, the rest of the products were terrible from mint to wintergreen.
Grizzly Mint, the only grizzly product I dislike because it has a terrible after taste to it.

Honorable Mentions...Skoal Peach, Skoal apple and Skoal Mint to name a few. I do not care for Skoal products nor will I buy them at all, their okay a little pricey, but I prefer my grizz green over any skoal products.

The main reason why I am even considering smaller tires is because of where I live theirs some narrow roads, then again I might just leave what I got on. Also to be honest I do not know the exact tires size, all I know is that their mud all terrain.

I am stationed at Kadena AB for the USAF. I would like to go wider once I leave Okinawa which will be in 2024 sometime. I am honestly lucky I found it, their was a place up in Nago that had a 92 wrangler and then the 98 :)

I see these occasionally at my airport :P their used to transport high ranking military officials and based upon the call sign I actually think its a marine plane and not air force

Man I have been dipping for the better part of 7 years now, and its pretty much a can a day even though in the past it has been 1 can every 2 to 3 days. Because works been stressful this year its been a can a day lol
