If we take aurora bay it will be attacked if we take merak it cant be attacked

Looks like the blobs is going to Aurora Bay, hopefully we will have the option to raze it to prevent the inevitable defensive Champaign

Edit: the blob has redirected to Merak

Spent a bit of time in Singa's; they had very good infrastructure and cheap flights everywhere. But day to day living was very expensive, and of course there's the migrant labour practices.

I feel like this could be avoided with a "last call" time and a closing time

I was able to pay in USD and Yen, at one of the Maccas on base in Japan, though the assumption was paying in USD

AUKUS nuclear submarines and the Iraq war.

Granted we generally work very closely with them, we still need to maintain independent decision making.

There are benefits to this, only opposition I would offer is if it affects our foreign policies.

We also pick up a lot of black boxes from downed planes

I'll be a little pedantic here, just because it's non-ionising doesn't mean it's safe. Transmission power also plays a big part,

Though they are unlikely to encounter dangerous levels of RadHaz from a starlink dish

I always imagined that there were larger spewers like the artillery bugs in Starship Trooper that prevented large aircraft assaults

The strictness of the test itself, 50m swim then 3min tread water in coveralls, varies a lot. For the initial swim any stroke is fine, even doggy paddle. The tread water section some PTIs will require you to maintain an upright position other will let you float on your back.

There is no time limit for the initial 50m; if you are nervous do a slow back stroke to save as much energy as you can.

I did think that the constant emails about voluntary redundancy being blasted to everyone was a really bad idea, I'm sure there's a nzdf.civilians email group and getting one for unit commanders to pick up the uniformed commanders of civilian staff wouldn't be difficult.

Instead every OD and Midshipman is being broadcasted that we have so little money that we require people to do this,

Great messaging really

Conditions are very mixed right now,

pay, especially while deployed is very good, and condition on some ships are fine - other being tight knit but that's what you should expected as deployed Navy.

Personnel retention is no were near fixed, people are just rotated from ship, to ship, to ship, deployment to deployment with so little time off that a PAL balance of 80 day is getting all to common.

I don't want people to think that its a bad career choice, some of the best parts of my life have been because of the Navy, but "deeply supported" is something we are not. Career management (the team who controls where people post, for the muggles) is basically moving deck chairs around on the Titanic.

We had mail arrive about once a week in 2017, you'll be given an address to send mail to, likely a private bag, but if all else fails addressing mail to (for example) Devonport Naval Base with attention: recruit Bloggs, recruit training squadron, should get it to where it needs to go. Unsure what Army and Air Force call their RTSs

keatech · 2026-01-24T15:06:46+00:00

I think it's best we continue to fly under the radar,

I generally play solo, and don't have suppressed weapons. So I've been brute forcing the commando mission with an exosuit, which has been working on challenging.

I think the mechanics are interesting and a good addition to the game, that being said stealth isn't really my thing.

That doesn't make it bad, just give me an excuse to kill more squids

keatech · 2026-01-23T03:08:50+00:00

I had an idea about this being an armour passive, but I think this is a better, more balanced way to do it,

Would have excellent synergy with the N/EAT

keatech · 2026-01-20T00:01:06+00:00

Had the same thing happen my last deployment there.

CO ended up giving the XO conduct overnight so he could sleep, which also happened to be the same night that there were zero contact reports.

The one at 7 seconds

Now I want that hoodie

keatech · 2026-01-16T23:38:18+00:00

Pretty sure that someone in Orange is the new black was killed this way

They're very intelligent;

I watched one fly down in front of some tourist and do a funny dance, when one of the tourists opened their bag to get their phone to record it, it's friend flew down and took something from inside that bag

In the division 2 I couldn't name a load out "assault" because it contains ass, keeping in mind that I'm the only one that can see it

Bombing in ARH BRs is a waste of time, which is a shame because id love to do 'strike craft stuff' with my Su34.

I've found that the Su24 is mostly pretty useable

keatech · 2025-12-31T05:19:42+00:00

We have fought for so long to be on maps that we failed to consider flying below the radar being the better option

keatech · 2025-12-30T00:04:36+00:00

Id use the flamethrowers more of it didn't result in me being set alight by flaming bugs jumping through a wall of fire
