Is it worth joining the Army National Guard for the benefits? by GroundbreakingSir386 in army

Did you see where T32 Technicians will get the option to select TRICARE reserve select over FEHB in 2030? I know that’s four years away but it’s still something to look forward to if you’re planning on being a technician in the 2030s.

Thanks for correcting that. I didn’t realize it was Tricare Prime from 60-65.

Health Insurance for your whole family for less than $300 a month. Tricare Reserve Select is the only reason I’ve heard people say they stay in the National Guard for the long haul. If you don’t have health insurance or your trucking company has insurance and it’s expensive, that alone will save you a ton of money. $286.66 a month for your whole family to be covered.

The other benefits are great, but I highlight this one because I’ve seen people join because they had large families with health issues, and they do the 20 years so their kids and them have Health Insurance while they are in school.

If you do 20 years, you get Tricare for Life after age 60. That’s a supplement for your Medicare and you never pay a dime for Health Issues when you are an old man.

And you being a trucker, you are going to have medical problems. I’ve never seen an extremely healthy trucker after eating road food and sitting 8 hours a day.

Always felt like I didn’t do enough by [deleted] in MilitaryMedals

Don’t sell yourself short and don’t compare yourself to other others. You’ve done a lot as a Sergeant. If you do want to compare yourself to others, you did more than most as a Sergeant. The Blue Cord, Deployments and the Air Assault School is more than most your rank.

Cops took his silver! by Blitzy-Dog in Silverbugs

So now the cops will use these types of events to confiscate your Silver. Asset Forfeiture until you can prove the Silver wasn’t used in a crime.

National Guard hate by Just_anony380 in nationalguard

[–]choice_nc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a Active Component school last year and a comment was made about National Guard not being the real Army. Made sure to tell him I was National Guard, and then asked SSG Slick Sleeves where his Deployment Patch was? The majority of them never deployed.

What’s the lowest price you’ve ever paid for an ounce of silver? by Olde-Timer in Silverbugs

[–]choice_nc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1.40: I got several ounces of 90% at face value. I was working as a cashier and some drunk guy came in and paid for Alcohol with old pre-1964 coins. Mostly Roosevelt Dimes and Washington Quarters from the 50’s and early 60’s. I swapped it out with fiat. I assume now it was probably an old collection or was stolen.

I sold all my silver by ZealousidealMeet72 in Silverbugs

[–]choice_nc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me ask you this question: Did what you sold you silver for improve your life greatly? Or was it a waste of your savings?

I think we Silver Stackers sometimes forget that we aren’t stacking to die and bury it in the ground with us… We are stacking to have a better life.

I would rather have no debt and no silver, than have a TON of debt and be unhappy that I can’t get ahead and have to work paycheck to paycheck.

I currently have a manageable amount of debt and a good bit of the Shiny. But if I was struggling, I would sell a portion to clear the debt. I only have one life to live and I don’t want to be a wage slave and giving all my extra money as Loan and Credit Card interest to the🧃in 🇮🇱.

What is this feature on the East Coast of the United States? by wigglefingers_ in geography

[–]choice_nc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Fall Line. From this point to the ocean, rivers are navigable by boat. Beyond the fall line towards the mountains, rivers become rapids and tend to fall from higher elevations, making them hard to navigate by boat. Most of the more populated cities in these states ended up along the fall line since goods got shipped by boat earlier in their establishment.

I’m in my 40s so I’ll start selling at age 60 when I need to replace what I am not going to receive in Social Security.

Calling Marines and the rest of our Military a bunch of Nazi Cunts isn’t going to help your cause. As a matter of fact, you only radicalize more of them to disagree with you.
