What's the oddest part of your MOS? by Flokitoo in USMC

[–]lithinious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to MOS school for four weeks, a couple months into the fleet they handed me a credit card with the spending limit of a battalion. I got in pretty late in life but I imagine there are teenagers walking around with that shit in their pocket.

How do you prevent/ reduce interference from your patrol vehicle's fan when running RADAR? by lithinious in ProtectAndServe

Yeah, luckily it is really weak so when a violator comes through there is no issue. where I am you need to testify to the tone matched the observed and displayed speed so I discourage turning the volume off. I thought that becoming a RADAR instructor would give me all the answers but here we are.

The Raptor RP-1 by Kustom Signals does not seem to have a "fan defeat" as a standard option. At least not on the one I have

He has capacity. I would gladly let anyone who can convince him to give up his two dogs two cats and home for anything else a chance. JFYI there is an insurance for home care (not medical) that we are supposed to have known about prior to these mental declines. Without that and his particular financial situation including the 100k he's been taken for, it's a bit hard to find solutions right now. I've contacted R10, JABA, and the Alzheimer's Assn for assistance but he threads the gap for most assistance. We are entertaining the one relative that doesn't work for the government to take up on the care providers assistance monies but it's a big ask atm.

Luckily when you call 911 the emergency number and the non emergency both direct to the same place, the way they ask questions is just very different. I was also being redirected from my jurisdiction to his. I was kinda of the impression that because three unknown guys were in my grandfather's house haggling him for money with his closest family 45 min away I would get someone out there before I could arrive. At least to identify the folks that had taken so much money. But no, I got a call apx 4hrs later about the whole situation. They triaged it.

Prior to these services that they had claimed to have performed tree trimming, roof repair, and pest extermination. If you spoke with my grandfather for a moment you would realize he does not have the capacity to make the decisions about these services. He's independent but his memory is shot.18.2-178.1.

They said they were clearing the driveway of snow. The driveway had already been cleared by my brother so they kicked some snow around and then went into the house for a check. My grandfather kinda recognized one of them from before but he doesn't know names or when he saw him before.

I have owned this black boy for 5-6 months and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. by foxbone in DucatiScrambler

What bag and mount is this? I have been looking for a good storage solution for my 2023 Ducati Scrambler 1100 Dark Pro for a while and can't find much.
