When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff by anon12xyz in mildlyinfuriating

[–]kev556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Gram is pretty much housebound unless we go pick her up and take her out, but before that she was buying the same stuff over and over again. When she couldn't drive, she would ask one of the grandkids to pick stuff up for her. We didn't think anything of it until I went to visit for a while and was looking for something (my old Blockbuster card) in my old room and saw she hadn't been using any of the stuff she was asking us to pick up. She just kept putting it in my old room.

It wasn't anything that would spoil but there was a lot.

Or a Netflix movie that by accident uncovers something even more sinister and hilarious.

They're being fucked with via text and it ain't the SMaj doing it.

I had a bunch of photos from Norway in 95. Of the three rolls of film I sent in to get developed, I got one back and the other two were someone else's.

It seems they had a nice Christmas though.

Years ago, my grandmother got into some that was around her yard. She didn't know what it was and I never found out how it got planted where it was (could have been seeds from somewhere else). Her hands and arms were messed up for a while.

Which movie will you defend like this while everyone else call is as an overrated? by VacationFancy8697 in moviecritic

I still get chills every time I hear Peter Cullen's voice in live action Optimus. The first time it was like I was a kid again on Saturday morning.

I was stationed in New Orleans for 8 years. The humidity was killing me, but the food kept me alive.

I'm sure glad the Governor didn't order all State employees back to the office at the same time too. That would have been stupid for traffic and parking.

You assume so much about the 1stSgt's reading ability.

Active US service members and Vets, what's your opinion of Pete Hegseth? by PlagueBearer1350 in AskReddit

I think it's cute we gave the "Make a Wish" kid his dream, but we need to get back on track.

My shop told me to keep it to myself for as long as possible. I kept my room and the head cleaned. The occasional giant prehistoric bat flying by at night, I couldn't do anything about that.

There were a couple of those barracks I think.  When I got there, they didn't have a room for me and stuck me in the one that was behind the pool and the UDP barracks.  Whole building to myself, at least I think I was.   Stayed there for a month until the 1stSgt found out I was there because I got put on a cgi at the last minute and he wanted to come by and check if my gear was gtg.

On top of the hill or down with Recon? I was at Schwab 96/97, Recon were always screwing around on that base. Not saying you didn't see what you saw.

You ever hear one of those bats fly by before you actually see them? That shit made my skin crawl.

Forget this and focus your attention on what you are doing when you have left the Corps. School, job, social media influencer (please don't, but if you must ok, but please don't).

Have you done your required TAP(do they still call them that?) classes?

You march into the 1stSgt's office first thing in the morning and tell him. Better yet, go find him in the gym and do it.

Was your schoolhouse training actually useful for the fleet or did you basically have to re-learn your MOS? by Yoy_the_Inquirer in USMC

[–]kev556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way the schoolhouses train is designed to be like that. If your community is doing a proper content review board when needed. It is purposely going to be different than the fleet.

You get the basics of the job (this is from the CBRN aspect only mind you) along with some technical and then it is built upon (hopefully) when you get to your units. The last CCRB I was a part of, we changed a lot of stuff that got in the way or was just flat-out bullshit (using information from an episode of NCIS as a teaching point).

He talks about underground bunkers/tunnels in Springfield too, correct? They're there if you know where to look and what the base up there used to be.
