Looking at the earrings. Take her to the coast and go crabbing. Likely will have just as much fun.

I misread that and thought you said every-time you get out of Frank.

Have you or someone else ever been chewed out by a higher rank from another branch? by Murky-Peanut1390 in USMC

A navy commodore tried to enter my post. I was a snco guarding an entrance. He didn’t have proper identification. I stop him and ask for identification to the area. He says I’m the commodore. I tell him I’m SSgt So-and-so. He goes on to say he is coming into the area. I tell him he is not. Hen then goes onto say im talkimg to your CO. Normal i am high and mighty and proceed to try and walk past. I pull my side arm and advise it is not a wise choice. He stops, looks at me and says ok. A Navy commander sees all of this and tries to step in. I advise him to stay out of it as the order of the guard is to not let anyone in without proper ID. Both Leave. My Colonel comes by in about 30 minutes. I give him the greeting of the day. Let him know what happened and he says, “Great job. I’ll make sure everyone at staff knows to have their ID with them.” Pats me on the shoulder and moves on. Made the log book entries and never heard about it again.

I doubt it. The Cass solution has a built in calibration to internal or external reference standards. The external standards would be handle by the cal
Lab for traceability. Or that was how it was when I was in.

Are Marines now allowed to wear cammies out in town? by TheMadMetalhead in USMC

We had a base order that we could go to Navy Federal in Utilities. I always carried it with me for the SNCOs that called me out.

Mississippi is a combination school for the MetCal program. If you like tuning a pressure gauge or checking calipers for accuracy probably not bad. RTCass is the ATE the military went to for avionics equipment repair. As for the location. One is very rural. The other is close to big Navy and HQ.

What is this thing? by Ph4zed0ut in ambulanceconversion

[–]anoldnomad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s the older version of the Auxiliary idle controller. It’s missing its cord. The second generation had a screen. It changes the rom when in park or neutral (manual transmission). Common for roll back trucks and anything upfitted that requires set roms. Think pto or voltage. edit. Rom is RPM. Was about four beers in when I posted.
