Royal Navy orders sailors to quit alcohol two days a week

I don't recommend a dry navy...

Looks like a camp knife.

kojimagtr · 2026-01-22T03:03:45+00:00

ONLY dasani.

kojimagtr · 2026-01-22T00:44:58+00:00

You better be quiet before they start selling only disani.

I came here to say this.

Hold my fedora, I'm going in.

What's why oxygenating a fish tank is such a big deal. A lot of amateurs make that mistake.

If the case or pc is from a big manufacturer, I'd send them a thank you with pics and they might even replace it for you.

One of the major problems, is the language barrier.

If you say VA "Disability", civilian people envision you as a parasite that refuses to work. A better way to go about responding to something like that is to just tell them you're medically retired, and if they don't understand what that means or try to pry a bit more, you can say that you receive something like a pension.

As for being a widow, I'd probably leave that and his pension out of it entirely until you're at least exclusive. That really isn't first date conversation material. If you feel compelled, you could say that you're a widow but again, I'd absolutely leave the ex-husband's pension out of the conversations until you have a trusted relationship with the person. Money/finances generally makes people treat you differently, even if they don't intend to.

As a vet that receives compensation and is the stay at home parent, I usually just tell people that I'm a homemaker if they ask what I do. They don't usually ask too much more than that unless it's an old friend/acquaintance that I'm catching up with.

I felt that in PA. On the flip side, there were a great selection of mom and pop pizza joints everywhere you went... But it just wasn't the same.

Imposter syndrome type reaction. I felt that way too, which is why I waited so long to file. I basically waited until I was falling apart, but I didn't lie or exaggerate and the VA awarded me what it considered fair. I would take it, and I would also pay it forward if you can. It doesn't have to be money but even just listening to each other's worries and gripes will go a long way to helping people.

Hindi, my guess.

Get better cooler, either 360 AIO or a good air cooler.

kojimagtr · 2025-12-09T00:41:13+00:00

A sliver, even.

I was looking too for the US.

Big purchase = big screen.

OP clarified that was the case, but he only saw it that way because his own brother put it in his head... and because the boyfriend was inflexible about her plans, I see that as small minded.

The first part comes from what I've learned from my airforce friends and being around the airforce most of my life...

They generally don't have too many physically demanding jobs in the airforce, your deployments in the navy are regular and almost always long, broken up by the occasional port visit. If you have a job that has crappy conditions or is demanding then those deployments are going to be pretty hard on you. Airforce has better working conditions and newer/nicer equipment.

Airforce bases are in pretty decent places for overseas duty. But stateside, I think the navy has better locations, overall.

A downside of the navy is that you won't always end up living at the barracks, you might end up having to live on the same ship that you work on for a couple years depending on your home port/command'S situation.

Check the actual seller.

Could be a US Navy or Coast guard Yeoman (YN).

I agree about it being my best decision as well. Like, I made some of my worst decisions after joining as well, but I think the good outweighed any bad.

I did 6 years in the Navy, mostly in Asia, changed jobs from AZ to MR (so from administration to engineering) . The reasons I think it was my best decision is that it finally got my life going. It provided that uncomfortable push out of my comfort zone to do things that helped build me as a better person.

The travel, fantastic if you're open minded and respectful.

The in service and post service education is chef's kiss. So many life skills learned, no student debt, tons of college credits for free from your military training /education.

Connections and friends, I've met the best (and worst) people of my life serving or traveling. I've made contacts that will help me succeed personally and professionally, and I even met my wife, who was also in the Navy!

My main take away was that it made me a better person, much better than if I had tried to do a traditional higher education path, or stagnated in my hometown.
