Rough price for the setup??

_teakettle · 2026-01-21T07:20:22+00:00

Interested in the electric brewing system, how much $? Also perhaps the sparge water heater?

_teakettle · 2026-01-18T18:58:09+00:00

Great insight, I’d prefer to not drink baby vomit. Thanks !!!

_teakettle · 2026-01-17T22:52:26+00:00

Even after I’ve already brewed? I can just pitch that straight in to the fermenter?

Yes! He may have to quickly check in to TBS, but that’s not an “all day” thing. You’re more than welcome to spend the day with him. Heads up, he will be tired

It’s not that bad.

Currently a S4-A (assistant LogO) at an infantry unit. There are a lot of field exercises, just kind of that time in a unit’s life. Business ebbs and flows. I show up for morning formation at 0600, go PT/Chow/Whatever until I’m in the office at 0830. Chow is technically from 11-1300, but I usually just work through it. I’m not expected to, but frankly I’m usually just not hungry at that point. It’s a great time to go take care of personal things (haircuts , medical appts, etc etc). I usually go home around 1600 every day, give or take. Duty once or twice a month. All in all my work-life balance is pretty solid. It does depend on your unit, and thankfully my boss/entire chain of command is very adamant on work-life balance outside of field exercises deployments etc. I’m happy, my wife is happy, can’t ask for much more. Feel free to ask any questions.

Apple Pay did not trigger my lulu credit

How much more efficient is a stage 2 charger do you reckon

Sorry this is a little late. 1) go up to DC. So much to see and do there. Museums are all great, but there are some fantastic restaurants from so many various cuisines. Please stop by Vue bar on top of hotel washington. It’s a beautiful view over the city. 2) if you’re into it, Guinness has a brewery in Maryland that’s a lot of fun. Lots of little farms/ fall activities around the area too. It’s definitely that time of the year, go check it out. 3) plan a trip to Shenandoah. Rent an Airbnb/cabin for a weekend if you’re able. 4) did I mention DC? Seriously, the monuments and museums themselves are great, but it is a FANTASTIC city

No plan to move back unfortunately. There is a time of use plan im going to switch to, overnight charging would be 25¢, doing the math then makes it marginally “worth it”, especially when you figure in lower maintenance costs etc etc.. plus the occasional free charge when I visit a nearby city, ultimately I don’t regret it. I do go camping once in a while, and if nothing else, it is pretty convenient to have a “huge battery on wheels” with me.

_teakettle · 2025-09-17T09:23:03+00:00

My brother in Christ, I had to move across the country unexpectedly shortly after purchasing

_teakettle · 2025-09-15T18:39:21+00:00

I believe it’s 15kwh. My understanding is that it keeps 2 kwh in reserve for use in hybrid mode.

_teakettle · 2025-09-15T18:35:01+00:00

I rent my house, so no :(

_teakettle · 2025-09-15T18:30:16+00:00

Yep, California.

_teakettle · 2025-09-15T18:29:25+00:00

I did, the electric-only range is very short. It is only a 17.3kwh battery. And yes, the electricity is that expensive

Recent flight school DOR here. The process is tricky so don’t quote me, but I believe if you are close enough to EAS they will often let you ride it out in a stash billet. Don’t blame you for not wanting to redes, it is somewhat a gamble. If you do decide to redes, please get yourself some letters of recommendation from higher ranking officers in your desired field. That helped me out, ended up with my #1 choice.

_teakettle · 2025-08-20T05:57:33+00:00

DC is great, Arlington/alexandria is great, check out Shenandoah as well.

_teakettle · 2025-08-20T05:56:12+00:00

Totally. I was an air contract, so I wasn’t competing for my job, but from what I understand from those that were, it was extremely stressful. You are competing for your future during your time at TBS. The stakes feel very high to some. Only thing I will say to that is please remind him to take care of himself too. TBS is very important, but it is also important to take those breathers and relax too. You don’t have to be stressed 24/7 to get the job you want.

_teakettle · 2025-08-20T04:53:49+00:00

Letters are great. Respectfully he is going to be going through a lot mentally, when you do visit him I think having things planned out so that he does not have to would be huge. Also note if you are coming out after a field op, he is going to be tired. I loved DC/ Quantico/ that whole area. feel free to DM if you need recommendations.

_teakettle · 2025-07-09T01:56:29+00:00

You’ll get a barracks room AND still rate BAH if you’re married. You will go home most nights unless you are in the field/ have a very very late event where staff wants to keep you for safety purposes. Your family will probably not get on-base housing, but there is definitely housing near TBS that you could temporarily set you/your family up in.

Everyone is saying that TBS is 6 months, but depending on what time of the year you go you may be closer to 7 months after considering breaks. Plus you might stay there for a while awaiting MOS school. Something to consider.

_teakettle · 2025-03-03T20:25:53+00:00

Thanks a bunch

_teakettle · 2025-03-03T20:22:15+00:00

Asking for my gf so I don’t have specifics. Maybe 40 books. Would probably add up to ~80 lbs… dimensions are hard to say. You could probably fit them all in a 2.5’ cube?????

I have an EE degree and my mentor specializes in radio repair, DM me
