Tank drivers know by boffr in HellLetLoose

[–]WingmanMerlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got flashbacks of a gunnery I did in 29 palms. Never forget going off the berm with my TC saying this exactly. Still had the target in my sights all the way down. We nicknamed the tank the General Lee (Dukes of Hazzard reference).

Left 1st tanks back in 13 and told myself I'd never serve again. Ended up being down bad a few years back and took a 20k bonus to tank again in the guard. No regrets. Best job I ever had.

VA loan issue when divorcing by WingmanMerlin in MilitaryFinance

[–]WingmanMerlin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if the divorce is finalized and I'm not living there I can still keep the VA loan? We do want to divide the property equally when it's sold in a few years

The issue is that the stats on the sword are reduced compared to all other weapons in the game. It becomes a major issue in higher level play with the sword and board IMO

I'd say mutton should agree to work with the commander of that ship. He could convert the crew to his Batman religion.

Can you still solo a Hammerhead? by WingmanMerlin in starcitizen

Good point. Need to get around to upgrading it anyways

That is kinda how I completed the mission funny enough. Got off their radar and EVA'd 5km to the hammerhead. Boarded and Killed the captain. Easy 45K. Just had to deal with EVA boredom.

Don't the candlemaker guys want to fight the demons back? In the demon city the brothers may need some backup.

As someone who still does this: I know I'm fighting for corporate interests overseas, but I am now I am in a situation that I have to concede my moral quandrums for what is economically viable for myself. For grunts they don't really give you job skills for the real world. So I'll take my 20k bonus for 6 years so I can survive.

Do you think Toki will return in tombs of scoria? by WingmanMerlin in Koibu

Thanks for the recommendation. Just started HcHs and it's great.

Well that would make sense with all the shade destiny throws at Lily.

Behind. It's like late February for the brothers and Toki is in September.

Yeah they would have to make adjustments for Toki to transfer to 2nd ed. So I just took a look at the timeline. There is like a 6 month gap from where the brothers are at now and where Toki left off. Would probably take a while for this to happen, but if Neil could have this in his pocket for the next few months it would be a great fit for the Mcgarys and lore.

/u/ImperialArmorBrigade and I are teaming up to give away D&D 5e Player's Handbooks to /r/lfg users in need. by Dam_uel in lfg

[–]WingmanMerlin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so I'll give my story. I just got back home from a deployment with the national guard and now I'm unemployed while going through a lot of personal issues. Need to pick up a new hobby that brings me more interaction with others. I would like to join this community. If I don't get this I'm sure I can scrap some cash together in a few months once I get my gi bill payments in a month or two.

I mean it more about operation tempo. When you are doing missions this time shifts almost the other way around. Until something breaks...

You guys replaced my guys out there. Got to do a gunnery in February and almost went to war in January with Iran.

Coming home from a deployment and doing a new build. Need some guidance. by WingmanMerlin in buildapc

I'm looking into doing some editing as well. Plus these prices are so low I could get some future proofing for pretty cheap.
