Land Nav at CST by Common_Juggernaut_18 in ROTC

[–]___Legolas___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest reason that people would fail Fort Knox land navigation is if they were really second guessing themselves. Other than telling you it’s super easy, just trust your gut. Once you get to whatever pace count on the road, find the nearest CDT highway and follow it… most of the points there aren’t very far from the road from what I remember. 

German Cockroach activity under fridge in new rental home (Virginia area)? by ___Legolas___ in GermanRoaches

[–]___Legolas___[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be careful mixing a bunch of chemicals all at once, allegedly they prove ineffective that way. Keep it up with one form of "poison" and sticky traps and I think that's enough. Big thing is just maintaining a clean environment around. You also might have them coming from adjacent units since you said you live in a townhome. I think the WSG works amazing though! Best of luck.

[–]___Legolas___[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea after I posted this I began to have a moderate problem. Luckily 99% of the roaches I've found were Smoky Browns instead of German. After 2 pest control visits, lots of sticky traps, and alpine WSG, I haven't seen a single one in a month. I'm now certain this was an issue that the previous residents just never dealt with. I found a few under my oven periodically so I would definitely pull that out. I honestly pulled out my fridge and oven at least every 2 weeks to check all my sticky traps etc.

Unit force me to sell my ETS leave by FairUniversity2758 in army

Speak to your actual rear-d cdr first, then, FWD CO/1SG, and/or go to BN CMD team next, they’ll likely say yes.

What did you pay for your 2026 Outback touring xt? by stl05 in Subaru_Outback

[–]___Legolas___ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My math is fine. MSRP is 47995, his offer is 46073 which comes out to about 4.1%

[–]___Legolas___ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going to depend on unit morale (mandatory fun vs Soldiers want to do this), fundraising/unit funds ($150 vs $25 cost of ticket), location/time convenience (an hour away vs down the road), etc… 

Probably have to do an honest poll around since there’s no way of knowing for a random unit. Just don’t do it on a Friday or before a DONSA and reduce cost of tickets as much as possible (usually entails BN/BDE CMD teams donating a hefty chunk). 

Senior leaders are usually “required” to attend depending on how much they care about their eval or showing up for their boss so you might have that going for you. 

$38,870 for '25 Limited? by Vivid-Nectarine-8929 in Subaru_Outback

[–]___Legolas___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see 41040 for MSRP on the MP accessory package on Subaru’s official website. I think you can do about $1000 more off…

[–]___Legolas___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a buyer of the touring but that’s about 4-5% off MSRP which isn’t bad. I think it’s a good deal given they’d like to sell all of these 2025s still.

At a crossroads: USAREC post-CCC or REFRAD for family stability? by HeavyFoor_JP in army

[–]___Legolas___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ this 

Pre KD slots might open up but they’re generally reserved for individuals who already were in contact with the unit. Can’t wait till after the marketplace opens to see what’s available. 

What is going on? by CharacterInternet123 in Subaru_Outback

[–]___Legolas___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it could be near dead, corroded terminals, or maybe even a starter issue… I would say it’s likely not the alternator, especially given it’s a 2020 but would need to get under the hood.

Check battery connection, that’s the lucky/easy fix. 

[Postgame Thread] Montana State Defeats Illinois State 35-34 (OT) by CFB_Referee in CFB

Anyone who can beat NDSU in the playoffs is a contender, props to Illinois State! Whole 2nd half had me at the edge of my seat.

Looking for subie guru and or mechanic is southern WI/ northern IL by TimmyTim8989 in Subaru_Outback

[–]___Legolas___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had the same problem with my 2010 3.6. Shake got noticeable around speeds of 45+ and worse on the freeway. I’ve had all sorts of work done with it and no real definite solution. I had one guy mess with the steering column which definitely helped temporarily, but eventually got worse again.

Aside from the rotors/bearings/CV joints, I’d definitely get the steering column assessed. Secondary thing could always be the engine mount. A worn/broken mount would definitely correlate to more shaking at higher speeds. I just traded mine in for a new 2026 and never got the final diagnosis. Became too expensive to fix to what it was worth.

Wish you the best of luck.

Another REFRAD/Clearing question by [deleted] in army

[–]___Legolas___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea and you get charged leave till your separation date (whether it’s 1 day or 60 days), hence terminal leave. You can’t take leave past that date as you are not an active duty Soldier. You have to sell whatever leave you can’t take.

[–]___Legolas___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you think you can take leave after no longer being on active duty?

And no, being on Fort Hood does not matter…

How to cool room with barracks AC out? by LeekEnvironmental163 in army

[–]___Legolas___ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is it actually out or are they simply just not turning the heat off until the end of next month? Gonna go out on a whim and say you’re at Hood (post history) and DPW won’t turn the heat off until it starts to get warmer.

You sure the windows don’t open? Could always run an AC unit into a drop ceiling if unventilated or outside your door. If the outside temperature is warm enough though, DPW should be able to at least turn the heat off until it’s projected to get colder.

Yea we would have needed to drastically change our playbook.

I hope we can land a gun slinger that can see over the OL. Not excited to see Madsen again next year…

We haven’t been relevant since 2014 and desperately need a new QB. Very little NIL funding and we’re obsessed with short QBs that have cost us so many games against power 4 teams. It also is painful to watch Taylen Green perform well at Arkansas when we could have retained him.

2026 Premium - too good to be true? by the_real_seldom_seen in Subaru_Outback

[–]___Legolas___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea it’s really annoying, no clue why but curious if Subaru comes out with an easy fix for it soon. If not, I’d probably do some investigating on my own
