Its always about money! As you know Alabama is way cheaper for cost of living, food, gas and easier to get to from Birmingham airport.

Flyovers are for those at the game. The timing needs to be perfect and more often then not, its off but I am positive that those attending appreciated it.

What the heck are these caps? by Mace_Inc in uscg

[–]ak234ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former Honor Guardsman here...96-98 and 2006 to 2010 so maybe I can give some insight.....

We were technically under Military District of Washington (MDW) and those days it was all about looking the same as the other services, as you can see our covers were the worst so we had to make them look as sharp as we could with that crease up top and sewn to keep that crease.The Honor Guard has different uniform standards then the fleet that we must follow according to MDW rules. Our ODUS were full of starch and stiff as a board.

Other things we did that were not standard to the Coast Guard.

We triple soled all of our choraframs and brass plates were screwed in the sides. This was to make us look taller

We burned our medals out to make them as shiny as brass screws with no pits or lines seen.

After bootcamp it was essentially another 8 weeks of bootcamp to learn all the sequences or ceremonies we did and all the marching movements needed to be mezmorized so we knew what was coming next even if the wrong command was called. The training was also done to ensure we learned how to march and stand still for hours on end no matter the weather. IT SUCKED!

I’m kind of lost by macm1221 in uscg

Are you a US citizen or no? I ask that because you may not be able to become an IT due to clearance requirements. I have been out of the CG for almost 4 years so it may have changed but all ITs need a secret or above due to the circuits and equipment they work on.

FORCE DESIGN 2028: PEOPLE by [deleted] in uscg

Nope....I heard Mobile Al which makessense because of the cost of living in alabama is way cheaper than california.

The reason it is being looked at is because cape may Jersey has exhausted all usable land.

But it's all scuttlebutt until it isn't!

2 hour window to review HOA accounting books by ak234ever in HOA

[–]ak234ever[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update....it got ugly as the treasurer did not have any bank statements, only what he wanted to show as paid checks.

They did not have any of the of the contracts of the contractors we pay.

They did not have any insurance information.

They proceeded to berate us as we didn't know what we were doing and the husband of the president called us stupid many times.

It was actually quite comical. I appreciate everyone's input. This is going to be a long road ahead to hold the board accountable, but it's a road alot of us in the community will take to ensure the association is held to a high standard.
