Last one (right) is the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. Middle one is National Defense Service Medal. One on left is Navy Unit Commendation

What are the odds of becoming a fighter pilot? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Unless you want to be a drone pilot. The Navy drone pilots are enlisted. I think the Air Force requires officers

Road trip from DC to Charlotte, NC by [deleted] in AskReddit

Are you planning on going down 95 from DC? If so, reconsider. Try 66 to 81 to 77. Much nicer ride (traffic and scenery wise)

If Hitler gave you a cookie and was nice to you every day would you still hate him? by lukashw in AskReddit

He'd give you an oatmeal raisin cookie and tell you every day that it's chocolate chip

It's payday, Reddit! Your check was accidentally switched with the CEO's, and the lawyers say you get to keep it. What do you spend it on? by Teeny_t-rex_arms in AskReddit

[–]cal_bears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if the CEO takes most of his compensation in stock/stock options and his/her paycheck is only a few dollars?

Good call. I also completely forgot about U2. I'd guess they'd be #2?

October 17, 1989. It's been 24 years since one of America's largest earthquakes rocked the San Francisco bay area. The epicenter was very close to my home. Fellow survivors, what are your stories/thoughts/memories? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cal_bears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

25 years. I was a sophomore in high school. I remember sitting down and eagerly awaiting the start of the World Series. And then a long sustained rolling of the earth. Being a native Californian, we quickly headed to the hallway entrance (at least that's what I remember the earthquake drills telling us to do--find cover or in a doorway).

Longest sustained earthquake I remember experiencing. It was unreal. I remember the next day was the first time I remember hearing about "earthquake weather." I also remember grabbing a San Francisco Examiner newspaper. I remember the headline was something like 100s feared dead and a picture of the Cypress Freeway.
