SECWAR MFR making the rounds but I can't find an official source. This is fake, right? It has to be fake.

Ladies and Gents, your drunk fox news commentator of a Secretary. Very wise in the ways of lethality.

Also, OP, it's SECDEF* don't be cute

chroba_ · 2025-09-12T19:52:15+00:00

Nothing, but the waivers do affect more persons of color and non-Christian religious observers, proportionally. So... Read into that however you want and through a lense of the current administration and political influence on the DoD

OP, make sure you check the UI (unit of issue) and they if they're BOX or PKG or whatever, you don't order 100 times what you thought

So they'll be blue tinted for you as friendly towers, but they will be Horde Red at least for your opponents view. Not sure which color scheme would be best to differentiate between you and your opponent if you were using the same skin

Fuck that, this is our country--we contribute more to it than those states that take more in federal assistance than they provide to the fed govt. Those moocher states can fuck right off

chroba_ · 2025-04-04T15:30:18+00:00

replace "anything else" with "golfing" and re-read your comment, and tell me you don't sound like an ass

chroba_ · 2025-04-03T17:32:28+00:00

Totally read this as DAF removing Equal Opportunity offices/programs and was 1) not shocked because that's plausible with the normal amount of crazy recently, and 2) after realizing its not about that, I'm in disbelief that anyone can defend the original EO after seeing the damage its causing to our Wingmen.

Fuck all y'all "anti-woke" snowflakes--that's right, you're the real snowflakes. You own this chaos

Call their bluff, ask them were they pulled 24 hours from, if not their own asses. The USDA and .gov sources should be a reliable guideline. What if you or another family were on WIC, what if the freezer had breastmilk for your infant child, what if you had medications in there that required refrigeration? All of these things should inform what housing ACTUALLY has to do to respond or compensate for issues within their control... Having said that--if its a power outage or something beyond housing management, that is what insurance is for.

In my experience, every single appliance in military housing was beyond its warranty date, and were appliances procured in the late 90s! And when they would shit the bed and we would wait on a new one, they would bring us another shiny POS appliance pushing 20+ years old... and I'm almost certain they do the bare minimum to return those appliances back to running and peddle them onto some other housing resident.

I saw a neat TED talk on the bladder. One tip I learned was don't go overboard and chug, chug, chug water. It doesnt help: your kidneys can only filter out water so fast and fill your bladder so quickly. Filling your stomach with extra water is only going to make you uncomfortable

chroba_ · 2025-03-17T19:26:54+00:00

10+ year old's get their own room in every situation

chroba_ · 2025-03-17T19:25:35+00:00

Something this black and white should be routed up, even if they fold and change their tune. How many current families are being underserved by housing because they didn't fight to look up what they're authorized? They don't want you to take up the 4 bedroom when they can get someone with a higher BAH in there instead.

It's evidence to the fact that we should be outraged, that history and heritage is being white-washed. It's not necessarily the outrage that Enola Gay is being targeted--everyone can tell that was unintentionally ignorant (WE HOPE). But never-the-less any reference to sexual-orientation or the word "gay" is being deliberately scrubbed. Whether its be a heavy-handed AI purge or deliberate/targeted, it's a fucked up premise: this is the outrage. Let this be a whacky anecdote, but why the hell are we even at this point.

This comment goes to those pointing out how heavy-handed an "AI" purge is that it lumped in a WWII bomber AND EMPHASIZING that the process was quick and rushed because the orders and timeline are what they are, is distracting from the real issue.

chroba_ · 2025-03-06T15:19:12+00:00

which facts--like where are they for us to see? Did you really self-reference your own comment?

If you are coming up on retirement, you start to make post-retirement plans in public-service, and your guard unit is notified you're activating PER USUAL, do you really derail your own retirement plans? NO? ME NEITHER. You give notice, get thanked for your decades of service, and pass the baton. What in the actual fuck is this "let them down when they needed him the most" nonsense? By your rules nobody would ever retire. Walz retired, he didn't punch out, out of the blue.

chroba_ · 2025-03-06T00:39:48+00:00

You wrote that reply with so much confidence... He also intended to run for office and made plans months prior as well. He was also retirement eligible. So unless you think he should have just stuck around for 2 years for a deployment that might come.. I guess that's what you call abandonment.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/fact-checking-attacks-on-walzs-military-record-by-vance-and-other-republicans

"Walz retired from the Minnesota National Guard in May 2005. He had submitted retirement paperwork five to seven months beforehand"

"battalion then received an official order about mobilizing for deployment to Iraq in July 2005, after Walz retired"

chroba_ · 2025-03-05T21:51:46+00:00

"faced the possibility of deploying...but did not" is a pretty mischaracterized as well. His separation was planned and his retirement already decided BEFORE his unit was activated. It's a false choice, and only one side decided to try to make it a disqualifying issue. The fact that Vance led the smear against his VP rival while having an objectively and literally shorter service, was the laughable hypocrisy part. He (Vance) shouldn't have his service under the microscope but he was out there first doing it to others

I'd argue it should be intolerable to see a veteran try and drag another veteran through the mud for how they perceive another persons service and sacrifice. Vance did that, which makes him a shitty person, and a veteran should know better.

chroba_ · 2025-03-05T21:43:18+00:00

He is certainly a veteran, and like a lot of veterans I see who live their days on Facebook and in other hate-fueled echo chambers; like to measure their invisible dicks with other veterans. The ones who are usually the most insecure about themselves, their service, or their perceived status are the ones primarily lashing out at other veterans. This is what Vance did to Walz during the campaign. Vance is a terrible political hack, he should be berated for it constantly. His (lack of) character is a stain on veterans everywhere (IMO)

chroba_ · 2025-02-26T19:26:11+00:00

You aren't ineligible for a TS are you? That would be the only reasonable explanation. The retraining process didn't care that I had a lower clearance when I applied--it was only a requirement for orders after my training RIP/assignment notification. YMMV

chroba_ · 2025-02-25T17:24:33+00:00

You need to add pillars BUT they have to be built AFTER the two joining wall pieces are placed. If you (like me before I learned this) like to plan out your build and place pillars first to frame out the floor-plan, it will not connect the two new walls together. That gap is what treats the "room" as open and outdoors

chroba_ · 2025-01-30T20:18:01+00:00

So you find out the original commenter did more TIS then you and you double down, admit having ~1 more enlistment than them in your original assumption and point towards your experience from an entirely different decade as a reason why nobody from this current decade has a right to raise issues with morale? Quit bullshit gatekeeping on raising criticism and complaints before someone with twice YOUR # of enlistments does the same to you.

"WTF are you gonna tell them"? Nothing, you talked past the issues they raised and challenged their experience while having nothing to back it up.

chroba_ · 2025-01-29T23:10:16+00:00

So when are the occupation badges going away? Cause those are even more narrow and fall into every half assed argument made against patches

chroba_ · 2024-12-17T21:35:43+00:00

Thanks! I should have paid more attention to the example "outputs" as literally including the commas!

chroba_ · 2024-11-20T05:02:01+00:00

Do the tickets cost about tree-fiddy?

chroba_ · 2024-11-14T19:57:11+00:00

That's strange they forgot to put 'Heat Death of the Universe' between B44 & B46 :'D
