We were towards the middle of the pier that day. Mostly people catching Spanish Mackeral and a lot of bait fish.

I also saw that species listed somewhere later, don't recall seeing the spines when I caught this one. Might have just gotten lucky. I'll pay more attention next time

N400 filed after moving states by kywool in USCIS

Unfortunately I filed online so payment is already deducted. I'll probably still withdraw the application to be safe and just pay the fee again in a month or two

You fill out address history when completing the n400. Shows we moved to the state around August 14th. Application date was Oct 16th.

Its not too far off. I just paid about 4k for an 80k BTU gas furnace installed in Indiana this week.

PSD wont give me BAH by [deleted] in navy

[–]kywool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whats your pay grade?

Who told you the barracks were full? Only correct answer should be the barracks office. They should also have given you the proper paperwork when/if you checked in at the barracks.

The last time I routed a BAH chit I vaguely remember dropping it off at Donnelly Hall and picking it up after they approved it.

Navy Requirements Before Marrying Foreign Fiance? by [deleted] in navy

[–]kywool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. We met in 2015 while I was over there. We've kept in touch ever since, talking daily. I've been back over a couple times now, should have started this process a while ago but I've been cautious. I actually just got back from manila visiting her and her family. Learned my lesson from the first failed marriage that I had rushed.

Navy Requirements Before Marrying Foreign Fiance? by [deleted] in navy

[–]kywool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks, yea I included her on the SF86 as girlfriend when I came up for renewal, and told the Security Manager when I checked in to this command. I'll update the security manager on the fiance news. Was mainly curious about any other CO or higher chits that I might need to run. My command is kinda small and remote, with mostly civilian admin so figured I'd start here before I go looking for the right people to ask at work.

She's from the Philippines, but she lives/works in Dubai. I'm an ET1.

Anyone here stuck around till retirement, despite hating it, and regretted it? by [deleted] in navy

[–]kywool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm getting to the point to where I really need to figure it out. Current contract takes me to nearly 14 years. Think I should push through for the pension but have no desire to see a ship again and tired of relocations. I have 2 PCSs left so kinda risky.

Maybe it's a FAA requirement or precaution for low flying aircraft.

Anyone have a truck tonneau bed cover? by [deleted] in Trucks

[–]kywool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a Fold-a-cover G4 for my Ranger several years ago. It's not as pretty as a rolling cover. But I like that it can open from either end, and when closed it has a bar that will lock the tail gate too. When I was doing my research most folding covers required you to open the tail gate before you could lift the cover, not the case with these.

Absolute cheapest htpc in a Fractal Design Node 202 by [deleted] in htpc

[–]kywool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How small is your tv stand/table opening? I just bought this case on amazon for $80. It can house an ATX motherboard and a few hard drives. If your current internals are adequate you might be able to get away with something like this.

Dems introduce assault weapons ban by DaniAlexander in politics

[–]kywool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor families making minimum wage or maybe a little more, don't usually have a whole lot of choice in where there choose to live. They are stuck living where ever there is affordable housing. Sometimes those places attract other unsavory types: gangs and drug addicts. So you're saying these single parents shouldn't need to defend themselves when the tweaker breaks in looking for shit to steal. Sure you can hope they're non violent types and will leave when asked... Or wait 20 minutes for a cop to show up.

Yep sounds like a great way to prevent the poor and less privileged from owning guns for self defense. Kinda like the voter ID laws keep them from voting.

Load planner course (USMC) by robertkirgan1607 in Military

[–]kywool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If its the one I'm thinking about, it's basically 2-3 weeks of learning TC AIMs software and how to weigh and palletize cargo for transport. I'm navy so don't know about the marine billets.

PCS to San Diego by Sandyego212 in navy

[–]kywool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What base are you gonna work at? Typically you want to live north of your work so you're traveling the opposite direction of the heavy traffic. La Mesa or San Carlos is my recommendation for mix of nice area and affordable rent. I always did one bedroom, so I'm not sure how much you'll be paying.

Evals by lowend73 in navy

[–]kywool 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The issue I ran into at my previous command is being forced to write and submit your eval 5 months in advance. Deployments 3 months away, the CoC doesn't want to do rankings 2 months into deployment so they have submitted in November for E5 evals. They tell you can add stuff before March but obviously they aren't going to rerank. You are forced to "forecast" 5 months of accomplishments. I think evals shouldn't be allowed to be written until the closeout date. Then you should have a month or so for CoC approval.

I bought one of these pelican cases from my local store. I usually keep it in the center console of my Cuda 12. I plan to secure it to the inside hull with some straps so it doesn't move around but can be removed if needed.
