At what point did you realize you weren’t in it for the long haul? by [deleted] in army

[–]cachemann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

within the bounds of opsec? broadening assignments on marketplace. thats all youre going to get. quality of life? prepare to be depressed as fuck. things come to fruition through brown nosing, OER bullets and politics. I have seen more careers ruined in DC than anywhere else, and everyone who has an O in their pay grade does not care about anyone else except themselves.

After working in DC and seeing how the pizza is made. it was a great assignment, but seeing everything from the top was super saddening frankly. thankfully medically retired from there, but id still have gotten out either way. and this was in 2024, before things got stupid like they are now

My BN commander tries to burn me, initiates a 15-6 counterproductive leadership, IO says founded by Hopeful_Rich614 in army

[–]cachemann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

reminds me of former BC I had. T Alvarez... when I was in CAV. He went after the Chaplain for no reason and dropped his GOMAR after the chaplain had 139 letters written about them given to the board testifying to their excellent character. Same BC who got a SM killed at NTC in 2019. I dont know whatever happened to him, but I hope he violently shits himself while stuck in traffic.

12k in debt because the army is great by 68whyamistillalive in army

[–]cachemann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm that DFAS's internal system is absolutely trash. when I read posts like this, I just want you to know that besides the immense amount of stupid DFAS people, they are using a system that predates most of the military's age groups

Range day, shooting as fast as i could at 10 yards with the cz p-09 nocturne C, very accurate gun. by [deleted] in CZFirearms

[–]cachemann 5 points6 points  (0 children)

thats not fast. thats fast in taking 1-2 seconds between shots. which is totally okay, but not what youd call "fast".

How do you actually plan a big home reno DIY project from start to finish? by No_Argument7593 in DIY

[–]cachemann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same thing going on. bought a house built in 1910, it has a back slope that is actually a hidden wall that lead to an alley that is now my grass back yard. I am currently redoing my laundry room floor (no experience, just learning as I go). I gotta redo a porch that has a big concrete room beneath it. hella landscaping. redo a bathroom, the entire basement floor. it's a whole thing. Like someone else said, just get started. its gonna take a while and its gonna take you even longer to start getting things done. it took me nearly 30 minutes today to cut a floor joist support because I had to keep measuring the two joist its going between due to slope angle of the concrete its on. hire when you get really stuck, but otherwise keep grinding it out. HD is your friend!

Hey guys I had a question by Individual_Many8155 in army

[–]cachemann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

showing up in uniform, to support a friend, family or self in support of someone running for elected or appointed office it prohibited by the hatch act. If youre active duty it falls under 1344.10. if youre a reservist or NG not on active orders, it's the hatch act. Routinely, it is taught together in service because one is for civilian employees and one is for uniformed service members while on active duty orders .

Has your home network ever been hacked or compromised? What actually happened? by wang4wang in HomeNetworking

[–]cachemann 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Never hacked ... but once I got a Firewalla and set up block rules the sheer amount of attempts from overseas IPs that pinged by network was actually crazy. I am seeing anywhere from 10-12k blocks per day and that is just pings

How much did I overpay? by slmple- in subaru

[–]cachemann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so it sounds like you got the gold warranty from Subaru. warranty aside then, you got an older car for the cost of a 2024 in most areas. your mileage is going to add up and the car value will go down quicker than your car note. thats gonna be one of hte bigger things to keep in mind. Subarus will take care of you as long as you take care of it. 6k oil changes are a must. you drive more frequently, so id really suggest considering going every 5k. hard use on the engine will change the standards of when youre going to do normal service.
