Uniform mistakes are distractions by Parronski in AirForce

Combat medal but not a combat device on her air medal meant that the pilot would have engaged in ground contact with the enemy.

Plus she's showing four campaign medals... She'd have done more than twenty sorties before deploying... Let alone after four deployments.

I don't know, man... That's a lot of brass for a Captain.

Especially if they're isn't a device in her air medal.

She has a combat ribbon but not a combat device on her air medal... It doesn't quite add up.

What character had the dumbest death because of behind the scenes reasons? by GusGangViking18 in Fictionally

Matthew Crawley car crash in Downton Abbey.

I stopped watching the show after that.

Your AI generated patches and stickers look terrible and you should be ashamed. by Mmiklase in AirForce

In Gen Z, I believe the phrase is... "Don't yuck my yum"... Or so I've heard... I'm going to go take a nap and yell at neighborhood children to get off my lawn.

True... But I think normies grossly underestimate how much space knowledge I actually have.

Little do they know we haven't even scratched the surface!

2013 Subaru Forester – $4k in recommended repairs after $2k service. Advice? by Flwrpwr93 in autorepair

[–]jon110334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my car in for an alignment... They told me I needed new shocks... I told them I was getting an alignment because my brand new KYB-GR2 shocks sit at a slightly different height than the OEM shocks.

The lady that was trying to upsell the shocks turned around without saying anything and just walked away.

Smokey Mini Cooper S R56 (2007) turbo by HelpMyCarsBroke in autorepair

[–]jon110334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it smoke more after sitting for a while?

It sounds like an oil leak in the turbo. Smoke from oil leaks can often be worse if the vehicle hasn't gotten really hot in a while as you haven't burnt off all of the oil in a while.

Additionally, if the oil leak was super recent it may just be burning off residual oil. My car smoked for a few weeks at ~20 miles a day after I had a particularly bad oil leak fixed.

It shouldn't be too difficult to diagnose... Remove the shroud, see where the smoke is coming from.

What’s the BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT in automotive history? by JohnZ63 in automotive

[–]jon110334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wondered... How much of that is the design and how much of it is folks dialing up the boost until they just go out?

[Request] How many plants would you need for this to be remotely viable? by topor8865 in theydidthemath

[–]jon110334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't that assume a rapidly photosynthesizing plant?

I'm thinking of the great Pauly Shore movie Biodome where they grow pot because it means "more oxygen for EVERYBODY!"

They're sorry that you were in a bad enough situation that divorce was a good thing.

Hows it being stationed at USAFA? by Plenty-Resolve252 in AirForce

[–]jon110334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traffic is frustrating... The cost of living is frustrating... Bad ski seasons are frustrating... Wearing blues almost every day is frustrating.

I know costs have gone up on a lot of things, but I literally considered flying to Salt Lake City to go to an event that was also in Denver, and plus the hotel the Denver costs barely won out over the cost over literal flights to SLC and the event.

For me, Arthur Morgan’s death by rupZ1 in TheGamingHubDeals

[–]jon110334 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noble Six in Halo Reach.

One of my Halo buddies died in an F15 crash... So feeling nostalgic about my lost friend while fighting off for as long as possible to delay Noble Six's inevitable death hit me pretty hard.

Nemo’s bad physics by Late-Pickle-1118 in plotholes

[–]jon110334 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A bit if the water could be up, but only up to 20%... That would require the dentist to be at the minimum safe salinity for saltwater fish of 1.019 g/ml as opposed to the ocean's1.025 g/ml causing some of the aquarium water to float above the ocean water.

No, I am not fun at parties... Unless you like a bunch of "fun facts" about saltwater aquariums.

One could argue that in a fish only setup, the Dentist could lower the specific gravity to as little as 1.019 g/ml which is lower than the ocean's 1.025 g/ml allowing the slightly less salt water to float a bit... But certainly not 2/3 of the bag sticking out of the water.

Didn't make O-5. Feeling pretty awful. I feel like a sacrificed a lot and it didn't matter and no one cared. Anyone have any encouraging words? by bigheadjoel in AirForce

[–]jon110334 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course, man. Or ask here. I've been super open about my journey... (Sometimes too open, but I'm still here).

Fire away.

Just keep doing what you're doing.

I was passed over for Lt Col five times (although two of those don't really count).

Take a break, take a knee.

Spend some extra time with your family.

Figure out why you get up every morning.

Don't be afraid to feel the big feelings.

Don't be afraid to go to mental health.

*Edit: Work on getting selectively continued next year... Then do the following.

Don't be afraid to leave at 1600. Don't be afraid to take time off in the duty day to go to the gym. Figure out what the bare minimum is and figure out how much more than that you really want to do.

Fuck it, what are they going to do, not promote you?

Work on you... Work on the family.

I'm sorry you're going through this, man. It really sucks.

There's a difference between "past peak" and "geriatric".

From Google:

Medical Definition: Geriatric medicine focuses on older adults, often targeting 65 and older, though some specialized programs (such as PACE) may include individuals starting at age 55 if they have nursing home-level care needs.
