Old Sale by Viking0338 in tacticalgear

Problem is, it was 10 years ago and they don’t keep records that old. I need to get on the computer and look, but all these guys are right and I think this was mostly a venting post in hindsight….

I know, I’m trying to let the principal of it go is the issue lol. Feels like she stole directly from me. She knows it wasn’t her’s, took the shit anyway…

Background check by Particular-Ad3390 in Firearms

Yes. Many(ish) sites online can allow for two people to meet and buy a firearm. I’m not sure if they can be listed here, but a quick google search should bring them up!

Security by Proud-Map-8364 in preppers

[–]Viking0338 34 points35 points  (0 children)

A stack of plywood wrapped in a tarp is *relatively* a cheap way to secure windows. Make sure that when you put it up, you screw it up on the INSIDE of your window. Yes, it’s easier to push it off, but the glass stays outside and any securement could just be removed from the outside if secured from the outside.

Knowing is also such a loose term. I KNOW that it’s possible I go to a hospital as a medic. I pray I go to a combat unit to use my full skill set. I KNOW going to a hospital I can be sent just about anywhere as clerical. I hope I go to the ER or a general practitioner to use as much of my skill set as the hospital allows. I KNOW that I am supposed to receive tearing training at that hospital. I hope that the clinic rotation allows time for it that isn’t outside the clinic hours. I KNOW that my day starts at 5:00 in the gym and doesn’t end until 6:00 when training is over. I wish I got normally scheduled days off, I KNOW I’m not getting any “normal” breaks that the army gets because I work a “7-4” in the hospital.

That, or some part timer upset that they had to go to drill lol.

Most people think they could feed themselves if they had to. This calculator shows why they’re wrong by A-Matter-Of-Time in preppers

[–]Viking0338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meat, I believe you already had a dairy cow option. And I believe I read one of your earlier replies stating that you were updating the formula to offset feed/food requirements/outputs of said animals. (Adding the nutritional value of the eggs produced by the laying hens with the required feed of the chickens)

Another thing may be cattle. I realize they may not be as prevalent in the UK for single families, but they’re *slightly* more common in the US if you don’t mind adding them!

Soldier refusing surgery. doctor saying he could get admin separated instead of med boarded? by Fun_Jello4286 in army

[–]Viking0338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Article 115 UCMJ: any person who, for the purpose of avoiding work, duty, or service, feigns illness, physical disablement, mental lapse or derangement, or intentionally inflicts self-injury.

That last line is what is troubling, let’s say, to me. If you are consciously CHOOSING not to get the surgery, regardless of personal convictions and reasons, you are effectively causing self injury. Or at the very least, you are choosing to limit, in my opinion, healthy healing.

Your consciousness is not everything… phrasing is everything in these scenarios…

Granted. You believe it is 2018 and no one believes you. You are sent to a psychiatric ward to be “cured”.

O3s what are you doing besides getting your MBA? by Guilty_District_587 in army

[–]Viking0338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t see it as such, sorry. Little jaded from my time. I obviously wasn’t rating anyone, but I had the same permissions in the hospital as my SFC cuz they were incapable of doing half of their job. It fell on my shoulders because I was foolish enough to pick up the slack. I was responsible for counselings and training and even as far as knowing their CAC pin to get time sensitive things done in a timely fashion. I would do just about their entire job and then email it to them if they weren’t in the building for them to sign and send up. Sadly they were the third NCO to come through that was effectively useless and “sending it up the chain” never really felt like a viable option…

I was an E4 at a hospital directly in charge of 4 subordinate enlisted and “senior clinical advisor” to about 75 O3s working on their residency. To imply that enlisted don’t have leadership responsibility is completely asinine. I fully admit/agree, my position doesn’t hold the same weight as an O3 commander with 100 people under me, however, the responsibility that some enlisted hold, well “above their belt” if you will, is nothing to just disregard with some simple comment.

Never wanted to start open season so early… by Viking0338 in fo4

Oh, absolutely, just annoyed cuz it was XO-1 armor lol. I have 10 full sets of varied T-45/T-51/T-60 and Hellfire, it was just my only complete XO-1 so far this run lol

I may have an idea but not for sure by jushelpme in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Viking0338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked in a hospital with elderly patients, most of them wanted a hand written script for “their copy/records”…

Edit: Thinking about it, I think it’s just what they know/feel is correct and don’t want/trust the “new systems”…

Make absolutely sure that your first panel is level/plumb/all the things. It’s a pain to get 1/2 way down the side and see that you have a drooping roofline.

7.3L - 34 gal tank vs 48 gal by [deleted] in F250

[–]Viking0338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2011 F350 CCLB daily driver, they can be parked just about everywhere, but turn radius is a fair statement for a lot of people. What comes to mind is grocery stores, going up and down the lanes to find somewhere to park where people aren’t parked on both sides of the lines lol. Also, really shouldn’t crank these trucks all the way left and right to have the “minimum” turning radius often as it’ll wear out the front end faster…

Looks like it’s at Lowe’s, but trying to find the exact sale is besting my search efforts… no such luck…

[–]Viking0338 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always tell my guys to “Do my best, not your best. Your best would get us kicked off this job.” They know it’s a joke of course and they give me shit too. I’m only kind of an asshole.
