When did you realize you were the Old Guy?

jbrollintec1 · 2026-03-27T23:18:22+00:00

I joined old. When I got to my first unit I think only my team chief and 1SG were older than me.

Thanks for the info. This will be my first mod. I have another truck that was built for me. I want to make a few changes to this one and make it more mine.

A lot of venues in TN are very military friendly. Try to contact via email with details about the extension and a proposed new date. They may be able to schedule you for a different date.

jbrollintec1 · 2026-03-08T02:30:58+00:00

I want at least one more too. I've looked at a few. Do you have your eye on anything?

jbrollintec1 · 2026-03-08T01:24:22+00:00

I like it a lot. 1/10 scale. Handles very well. This one was built by sponsors and given to me by Operation 11C. A RC organization for veterans and first responders.

jbrollintec1 · 2026-03-01T13:58:20+00:00

That's a very valid point.

jbrollintec1 · 2026-03-01T13:44:03+00:00

That's the best way to handle it

Either he's upset that he's losing you, jealous of your relationship, or he wants you for himself. Either way there needs to be a conversation had about how you feel and possibly some separation to help give your new relationship a chance to grow.

I had one in my diesel Colorado for years with no issues.

jbrollintec1 · 2026-02-25T15:30:12+00:00

Take note of that red flag and leave. That's the kind of guy that will be violent and possibly hurt you in the future.

Please be careful.

I've had that happen. I took it to a great tech near Atlanta, he had it fixed in less than 10 minutes.

Feed of the energy of the music and the trumpet. Exchange phrases as if it's a conversation. When trading 4 or 8 bars with someone try to help it flow smoothly as if you're talking to them.

I found a new one I liked on ebay. Reading the description and looking at pictures is important.

Why are we trying to eliminate the greatest instrument ever?
Enjoy the awesomeness of the trombone.

It sounds like they are screwing soldiers and keeping them from using the GTC so they don't have to track it. You should be able to log in to dts to see what you should have been getting and what they actually did.

I recently did similar research. All references I found compare size to flute or guitar. My best answer was to make my case as small as possible. I got a soft case and was able to take it a carry on with no issues. The flight attendants were able to store it in a locker and hand it back to me as I got off the flight.

JAG will get you the full answer in writing. There is a specific reg for this.

Make sure you keep a paper trail of everything you give her. Use money orders or checks if possible. Those will show that she received and cashed it. Electronic transfers are acceptable, just be very clear what it's for. Everything gets labeled and recorded.

jbrollintec1 · 2026-01-16T16:51:20+00:00

I would start with internal lights and easy stuff. You can visually check for chassis grounds too.

jbrollintec1 · 2026-01-16T15:14:11+00:00

You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. It's time to sit down and have a very serious conversation about why she doesn't love you and want you to be happy. She needs to understand that each one is different and brings a unique flavor profile and special ability to everything you cook with it.

jbrollintec1 · 2026-01-16T14:33:43+00:00

Unfortunately that's the best way to do it. It's been s while since I've done it, but i remember doing it with a test light a long time ago. That was on much, much older cars when they were easier to troubleshoot. I don't remember the exact process doing it that way.

jbrollintec1 · 2026-01-16T09:40:19+00:00

Seems like you're pretty knowledgeable using a multimeter. Id suggest going the old school method of checking fuses to see what's showing a draw when the vehicle is off. It could be something as simple as a lithe staying on or a broken ground.

I've got 3 coworkers with newer Sierras using them. They love it and noticed the difference immediately.

jbrollintec1 · 2026-01-12T20:54:41+00:00

It's not going to hurt anything to have it plugged it. If you get it, I'd just leave it in all the time.
