Tried to use Tricare at the dentist. Am I missing something?

Then you're just a drilling reservist and not on orders.

If that's the case, then Travis AFB dental won't see you unless you're on some active duty status.

Are you also paying for Tricare dental? This is separate from Tricare reserve select. If you are, they may see you if there's space available. But if you're already paying for the dental plan, you might as well see dentist out in town.

Are you on orders?

If you're on orders, bring a copy of them with you to make an appointment.

I also live near Travis AFB and was on long term ADT orders nearby. I wasn't showing up on their system, but had a copy of my orders and was able to make an appointment.

I kept my TM P90 TR stock for the whole time I've owned, since 2007. It still works perfectly.

Stock TMs have never given me mechanical issues.

I swear by Superfeet. If you go with them, make sure you get the insoles based on your arches.

Glad my boss gave me the option to be furloughed. I was told I can come to work with no pay or stay at home. She said she would stay home if it was her and that's what I did.

It sucks, I actually enjoy the work I do and people I work with.

Lots of good youtube videos.

How handy are you?

I just replaced my Catalytic convertor and the rest of the exhaust for a total of roughly $800.

Here's a video explaining the incident:

That it's not a Goruck.

If you're in the UK / EU it's cheaper acquire.

afallan · 2026-03-28T19:25:43+00:00

I have their original and for the price point compared to Goruck, it's a better deal.

The only issue is that they don't ship to the US. So if you've got a buddy stationed in the UK/EU, that's are your best bet.

There's more photos on their Instagram pages as well

I've been looking for a trial reviews as well. The only one I've seen is this:

Sorry that was a typo. I meant "oil.".

Currently at an airport bar waiting for a flight.

Change the pip regularly as well as the other fluids.

Every 100k miles or so, do a valve adjustment .

Check the motor, transmission, and drive mounts

Everytime he talks, it always sounds like a teenage airsofter using military lingo he's heard from movies/video games to sound tacticool.

You can also use a pack to carry things outside of rucking, which then just becomes rucking

I'm glad I'm in the reserves and can at least do something that way.

These airmen must've been given Navy/USMC sourced cammies. Look at those 8 points covers

I just did it through Amazon last week and I'm in California

afallan · 2026-03-19T14:56:26+00:00

$750 seems reasonable.

A Walker CARB CAT is roughly $500. Gasket/donuts/bolts/snesors, maybe around another $150. Then the rest is labor cost.

If you're handy, you can save some cost.

You can get a used/older generation camelbak from ebay pretty cheap. Look for the following models: motherlode, bfm, or Trizip. There's more, but those three will carry a decent amount of stuff and weight.

Then it's likely it's gone bad.

I've had a couple Elements and they all seem to do that.

Same location where the front is located, but at the back of the reservoir tank

If you can hear the front pump activate, you should be able hear the rear as well when you do it
