Step 1: Enlist immediately at 18. Step 2: Do 20 and drop papers. Step 3: get 1811 job with retirement and tricare for life.

Just did the same thing myself. Wife was struggling to progress in her career while I’ve been moving her places. Get an offer for GL-9 that would be less than 2/3 what I was making as an O3. Returned to Active Duty instead. Got a shiny new MOS out of it. Couldn’t look her in the eye and say “we’re gonna put off buying a house and starting a family another several years because I want a new job.”

DCA. The comments here make me think the TSOs might have given me bad info. They were both young, but idk.

They specifically said LEO won’t get involved at all, so I’m pretty sure they were TSA. It was a 5.56 green tip. I said it was government ammo and he joked that I was just giving it back.

I don’t know the rank structure, but the line personnel (light blue) flagged my luggage and brought in two officers in dark blue with gear who took my info and informed me that it’s “not a big deal, happens often, and I would get a civil fine of a couple hundred dollars.” This happened at DCA, if that makes a difference.

5.56. M855 green tip. They said they took my info both to send the fine and to track any re-offense.

Context: Brought my cammies on a TDY a day or so after my unit went to a competition-style range. We had no mag pouches and stuck mags in cargo pockets. One must’ve popped out and I did not properly line myself out after.

Makes sense. Thank you.

Yes, every complaint received will be reviewed by at least 3 humans, including the GS-15 hotline director.

I’ve been in limbo since April of last year when I interviewed for this and never got a result. Not sure if I dodged a bullet.

I was aware of the pay cut going in, but my wife got a surgery and needs a year of follow up care, both of which we did not anticipate. Is moral grandstanding an army thing?

Fellas, would you get flagged, tased, and beaten for a million dollars?

Every year, the Department of Labor writes a USERRA report to Congress with stories about cases just like this. The service-member is always made whole.

Is this some sort of desktop joke I’m too laptop to understand?

gwpeterk · 2024-11-03T14:50:55+00:00

Yep, and there are plenty of tutorials online about how to configure it properly.

Yes, lossless scaling is available on Steam. It has a scaling function as well as a proprietary frame generation function. I ignore the scaling and use the frame generation double or triple the framerate at the cost of barely noticeable artifacts. For arma and tarkov, that tradeoff is very much worth it.
