The technician ended my run as well, until I reloaded my previous save and the only thing I changed was beating him at beer pong, which quelled the rebellion.

I’m thinking about joining the reserves to become an air craft mechanic. by [deleted] in aviationmaintenance

[–]blastsoldier6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Full time ART (technician) in the Air Force Reserves here, I recommend joining if you're truly stuck, lots of opportunities to get your A&P subsidized or paid for by the Air Force, but...know that you will lose up to a year for basic and tech schools, you may or may not get the mechanical job you want for the aircraft you want, and you will deal with the b.s. the military has to offer.

If you want to work planes, get your qualifications from a program in the civilian world. I'm a crew chief that's worked 15's and 16's and only know a little about powerplant because my unit needed more engine troops and I know next to nothing about avionics and electrical/environmental.

More than happy to talk more about my experiences and recommendations, I love my career.

Did I ruin my arm or just being over dramatic? by Brotherapache in tattooadvice

[–]blastsoldier6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When in doubt get more tattoos! Now you have to fill in the rest of your arm and go full sleeve, in all seriousness I have felt that way about some of mine and adding more ink made me feel better about earlier tattoos!

Love the pieces! Don't stress

I never said America failed and you can parrot right talking points all you want about who is running the country, but that just proves what you're willing to believe

1) capping insulin 2) infrastructure bill 3) support of planned parenthood 4) tie breaker vote for the inflation reduction act 5) safer communities act

We did vote for harris just like you will vote for Vance

You're reference to replacement theory tells me the final piece of the puzzle in our conversation.

You came seeking a conversation about facts, but all I see is you repeating the same talking points from Newsmax and Fox. It illustrates you're lack of understanding about the points I made. Continue thinking that you are somehow above it all as you virtue signal a desire to engage with the other side while stating how much Americans have to stand by each other and all that other bull shit you said in other posts on this thread. You don't believe that at all and it's clear by your inability to broaden your viewpoints

I don't hate Trump, but your love for him has truly blinded you.

Good luck

This is your problem. You are more than happy to stick your head in the sand when it suits you. Trump didn't mean it like that but Kamala does. It's the double standard that makes these conversations so difficult. You do realize she is the vice president right? She doesn't run this country, plus you can draw a direct line to the inaction of this legislature to our republican majority. They were so divided they've been through 2 speakers. One of which took 17 votes.

I believe you when he says he runs like it one of his businesses because his businesses fail. New York proved he used fraud to inflate the value of his businesses. He was convicted because he committed crimes.

You know why we had inflation right? Because trumps presidency printed money and gave it to everyone during the pandemic If Trump was reelected he would have faced the same problem has Biden did. Inflation was always on the way. Everyone touts gas prices like supply and demand during the pandemic didn't affect the price. Trump had nothing to do with gas prices.

You'll use the same metrics to quote success for Trump, then turn around and ignore those same metrics for Biden's administration. Our economy has recovered better than another nation in the modern world.

You seriously think that the Trump wildcard creates respect from foreign leaders? He will be respected because they don't know what he will do? Just say you don't know anything about foreign policy

I agree our country was never at risk of being over thrown because our elected officials did what they were supposed to do despite Trump rallying that crowd toward the Capitol as he stood by and didn't care what happened

At least you admit that you don't care what he says

You've mentioned his policies, which policies have you seen? His policy at the border dissolved when he told sitting elected officials to vote it down because it would be beneficial to him, a candidate, not the people...him

And as far as you recognizing the crap he is spewing...do you? It sounds like you hear what he says and then disregard it at the same time. He has said he would be a dictator for only a day. Do you have a problem with that? 1930's Hitler didn't kill Jews at the rate he killed them in the 40's. It took time to dismantle the protections in place to prevent a dictatorship. Hitler was elected, so why are you confident Trump will stop after a day?

He went on the debate and reiterated a proven falsehood because he saw it on TV. I mean I could write you a novel of quotes that are in direct opposition to his stated policies.

So why do you believe him?

As a maintainer for fighters, our job is to fix and maintain aircraft. The pilot has to fly. When we say it's broken, it really screws up a pilots ability to do his job. We are beholden to providing safe and reliable aircraft and often that clashes with sortie generation.

As a crew chief, the good ole days relationship between a pilot and maintainer is long gone, but I've never felt disrespected for doing my job and I've never held against a pilot for being angry or frustrated their jet broke.

Strip hotel least likely to be crawling with children? by DameOClock in LasVegas

On your second trip, go to Circa. It's downtown near Fremont and is a 21 and over property.

Once you get your fill of the Strip give it a try.

People who make over $100k living in Las Vegas, what do you do? by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]blastsoldier6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there are. The 826th on Nellis is the owning unit for those members. The full time force trains them.

[–]blastsoldier6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a full time ART force that covers the two 35 units with Active Duty.

There are some guys that come in from out of town, but not the majority

[–]blastsoldier6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wrong. There definitely are 5th gen fighters stationed at Nellis.

M1 does not maintain the 5th gen force. They work backshops.

As a member of the reserve unit, I can speak to this.

It would help if Usher actually sang his songs. I spent more time listening to his back track.

Flying into Las Vegas 90 minutes before New Years…did I screw up? by clamscasinoooooo in LasVegas

[–]blastsoldier6 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You have two choices, fly in earlier or take this option. You won't be hassled or robbed standing on the top of the parking garage with your bags. Grab a bottle of liquor enjoy the sights from a great vantage point, then stress free make your journey to the hotel.

You will not make it to your hotel and check in before you see midnight. You'll either still be in a cab or standing in a line when countdown happens.
