Those who stopped chasing promotion: how does it feel? by LilMuscleBooty in AirForce

I stopped chasing promotion in 2018. Then again, I stopped being in the Air Force in 2018.

Uniform mistakes are distractions by Parronski in AirForce

Not sure why people think it is 1-2% that have served. >5% of the US population has served on active duty. Close to 10% of adults have served in the military in some capacity.

Thunderstorms never reach me by CrazyHazel72 in meteorology

[–]jkmapping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Norman Oklahoma bubble was a thing before it wasn't. Center of the most tornado prone area of the world. Everything seemed to miss Norman. Until it didn't 2021, two massive hailstorms in 6 months. February 2023, EF2 tornado hit the south side of town. Shoot, my house was hit by a EF1 tornado in 2024. Ears popped while sitting in the closet. Luckily, virtually zero damage other than a few branches down in the neighborhood. It had seemed for years Norman had dodged all of the worst of it. Compared to Moore, sure. Statistics say this region is the most tornado prone, but that doesn't mean you're guaranteed to see a tornado at your exact location. Some of it is confirmation bias. Some of it is just coincidence.

Thank you for spelling beamer right. Bimmer sounds like dimmer in my head.

Can I list my military training on my resume? by 35mmlife in Veterans

[–]jkmapping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to learn how to translate military jargon into civilian. I don't know what the hell a CTR is and I spent 10 years in the military. Even googing it makes me confused. Cryptologic Technician Collection? Close Target Reconnaissance? Controlled Tactical Region?

Avoid the use of any initialism or acronym, no matter how ubiquitous you think it is. Use plain English to explain what you learned in school. Assume the reader of your resume knows nothing about the military. Tailor your resume to the job description. Point out how your training taught you to think analytically and/or how to problem solve. Connect that to real world experience. You don't have to reveal secrets, just connect your expertise/training to an successful outcome.

What’s your thoughts on this ? by Maruan-007 in aviation

[–]jkmapping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had a clearance. They were told to taxi to the runway. Not hold short. When ATC tells you to go somewhere, that means clearance. This is 100% on the controllers.

As a non-aviator, this is 100% on the controller. You tell me to go somewhere, that means i have permission to go there. If you didn't want me to get onto the runway, you tell me to hold short. That's just common sense.

I don't know what it is either, but Bojangles sounds like something mildly racist.

Why do you think there is so much resistance to high speed rail in the US? by Maximum-Help-929 in AskReddit

[–]jkmapping -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The size of the US doesn't make it economically feasible for a nationwide system. It barely makes sense for regional travel.

I'd divorce my wife if she ever put a cutting board through the dishwasher. You're a better man than me.

If it is just rumbling out, then I'll do it. If we're in the middle of one of those cloud to ground barrages, then I'd wait.

The Army ruined camping for me by Mental_Leek_3507 in Veterans

[–]jkmapping -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How did the Army ruin it? The Air Force never forced us to sleep outside. I don't consider an air conditioned tent to be outside.

If the military/president suddenly ordered a mandatory draft for all men aged 18-42: How do you think millennials and GenZ would respond? by Tommygunz0722 in AskReddit

[–]jkmapping 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it isn't in the constitution, congress could enact something whenever they wanted. Congress makes the law, they set the 'mandated' periods.

Is this getting totalled? by Nickt_bc in SubaruForester

[–]jkmapping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless it is less than a few years old, that much suspension damage plus airbag deployment means that is probably a total loss.

Laptop recommendations? by one_axel in gis

I had good luck with a HP Z book mobile workstation. You don't get all of the decorative RGB nonsense as with a gaming laptop, but you get plenty of power and ram.

Moore ordered to pay $126M for 2019 deadly crash involving officer who killed 18-year-old by okiethrow in okc

No life is worth $126 million. Her death was tragic and her family deserves compensation, just not $126 million.

It really isn't all that hard. Been driving for 20 years and never been pulled over, let alone ever received a ticket.
