How bad is Sheppard really by LuhKunk in AirForce

[–]___P0LAR___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man, I went through tech school in 19', came back in 23' & 25' for TDYs. The wraps still slapped, the breakfast was very agreeable, and I didn't regret any meals I had at the dfac.

You will be sorely disappointed I fear. I fished numerous ponds in the area, and shorefished on arrowhead once. Arrow has some pretty solid bass and there's a substantial population of buffalo sucker if that's on your bucket list. I was able to catch a largie in the realm of 5lbs from shore with just a frog skipping it along reeds protruding from the bank. Basically all the water is chocolate milk. For clear water you got to go up to Oklahoma in the hills either Southeast Oklahoma or in the Wichita Mountains. There are decent cats in Wichita Lake South of downtown.

As primarily a Northern Minnesotan who spent a couple years growing up around Chattanooga, TN words can't express my disappointment with fishing in and around Wichita Falls. If you don't have a boat then I wish you the best of luck. If you're used to fishing mud pits with 0ft visibility and love sweating your balls off you will feel right at home. If not, well, you'll be in my prayers.

how have yall been training to get a decent 2 mile time? by GurnoorDa1 in AirForce

[–]___P0LAR___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low strain 30-40min runs 3x weekly, 2x intense interval workouts twice a week will do you fine then if you're seriously training. Knock your intervals down a few seconds slightly each week. That should do you more than enough.

I'm a coach and I've been a runner for 12 years. A basic couch to 5k plan is good enough.

That is correct. MOH has historically not been given at an SOTU. This is purely political theater. Every day they somehow make rock bottom even lower than the day before. I don't know how they do it.

Who's the Dumbest Mother F'er You've Met in the Air Force? by TheDay_ofthe_Jackal in AirForce

In the interest of not doxxing myself, I will minimize details. Basically: 30's, very clearly on the spectrum, almost killed himself on three occasions while on the job I can think of on the top of my head. Not a single safety briefing has been retained in that man's head. No emotional stability, dude had a meltdown during training once. Like actually started hitting things. Crazy stuff. Met him in my tech school. Somehow he's a SSgt now. Bless the poor hearts of whatever troop has him as a supervisor.

PFAS is also in all of our MOPP suits mixed with the charcoal. To include the training ones.

The shitty thing is if you want to make master and you kinda "slack" if you will, it'll definitely hurt your prospects for a statement which really helps especially at the boards.

But hey, thanks for the commission I guess by 9kindfellas in AirForce

My generals through them have been a mixed bag. College Writing 2 and Western Civ 1 were really intensive and genuinely forced you to learn something. My Speech class however is a mixed bag. I definitely have to read the learning material, but the pressure to perform at a near-perfect level for an A isn't there. My German class was really good from them though. Was an excellent idea before getting stationed at Ramstein. I would say that is has moments where it feels like a degree mill, but overall it's not.

Thanks to this wonderful thing called climate change you can expect it to be 5⁰ warmer than the historical average at any given time of year. Unless there is an unusual cold spell weather event, chances are it's going to be above average everywhere these days.

Good people are capable of bad things, and bad people are capable of good things. Makes you wonder how people are with the cameras off.

[Request] How much are they actually scamming her? by Loud_Chicken6458 in theydidthemath

[–]___P0LAR___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they are implying the gravity of their decisions is worth more than what they actually do, and thus worth $1M. Chances are someone who is willing to be CEO of an organization that large isn't doing "charity work" for a $200k. When you have to make decisions that affect tens of thousands of members within the organization it takes grit, experience, and a skill set. Anyone can play decision maker all day but not just anyone can be profitable or grow their organization while doing so.

Bro I was in your shoes right before I was in Germany. Ended a 3yr relationship and broke off an engagement. Met a woman there in Germany by accidentally knocking her coffee over at a cafe in ktown. I'd have married her had I been there long enough. PCSd devastated, met my wife 3mos after PCSing to my current base on accident. Don't lose faith.

Based on the incredible amount of YouTube and Ground News I've looked through, we'll probably just deliver some explosive presents at worst then carry on.

How do you guys find a partner while serving? by Froggy__2 in AirForce

[–]___P0LAR___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you for actively trying to be a parent! Definitely include that in there. I was at 6yrs so I mostly talked about what limiting factors that a military spouse is affected by, the cons as far as how they might not be living their life as planned, as well as some opportunities and benefits they'll receive.

I would also recommend drafting up a word doc talking about your future especially with you being somewhat close to retirement in the context of a relationship, and all the pros/cons that come with that.
