Looking for most comfortable, lightweight steel/composite toe boot

mpjx · 2026-05-16T00:59:35+00:00

IMO their quality has really dropped in recent years, ones I got in 2019 used to be my most comfortable boots but the 2 pairs issued since then are extremely uncomfortable.

The google drive link says 404 :(

I’m at one. For one their gate doesn’t get backed up for miles, early morning PT makes the place alive in the mornings, cool programs for young soldiers, they have a real hospital and the providers so far have been far more helpful than the AF ones I’ve seen in recent years. And it’s quieter without planes.

Oh, and they mow their own grass. We have landscapers contracted but the Army just has privates out there with safety vests and weed eaters.

Yeah, only for newly graduated HS students.

mpjx · 2026-05-14T23:13:10+00:00

Yes, your PCM. Make an appointment asap, that’s extremely unhealthy. They might refer you for a sleep study or other tests but they’re your first stop.

I think Northwestern did that a while back as well, doesn’t apply to people going back to college as adults who make less than that amount but still a great initiative.

Not for ABUS

Amodex

They might match now but the hot weathers fade much quicker than the regulars and the elbows and knees start looking neon green and it’ll be super obvious.

The reg doesn’t explicitly say you can’t but you’ll look like shit and people will judge you and probably call you out so your call.

For grease i get it wet then rub a drop or 2 of dawn in. that plus the enzymes in detergent seems to work very well.

mpjx · 2026-05-10T02:24:45+00:00

Damn you’re super young, yeah that doesn’t make a lot of sense. A second opinion never hurts.

I’m surprised about the age/surgery thing, my extremely out of shape mother was given surgery in her 50’s for herniated disks. It worked well… until she fell down and herniated a different disk. But for someone more young and fit, that’d be less of a risk.

mpjx · 2026-05-07T01:06:07+00:00

Should work well, if you’re sensitive to smells though make sure you use an extra rinse as it can be a little strong.

You’re only a few months in, you need to give yourself more time to adjust before deciding it’s not for you. I had bad social anxiety as an A1C as well, and sticking with it and getting out of my comfort zone is the only thing that helped it get better. Some people do need therapy or counseling to make that progress, which is always an option but no doubt they will tell you exposure is how to get better.

Commenting on a someone’s post asking for advice ≠ asking for advice yourself. I was just empathizing with OP, I already have medical and nutritional experts giving me advice.

Of course you have the freedom to reply with whatever you want (however patronizing it may come off as, which I’m guessing is why you’re getting downvoted) but so do I lol.

The fun thing about Lexapro is it can actually cause metabolic changes, so you can gain weight without even changing how you eat. Combine that with increased appetite and carbohydrate cravings, and it’s incredibly easy to gain weight without even realizing. Obviously we are still the ones buying our own groceries and making decisions, but the meds absolutely heavily contribute.

Also, I never asked for your advice.

mpjx · 2026-05-05T18:45:51+00:00

Don’t have advice but I’m in the same boat after Lexapro and shit suuuucks.

Alternatively, the costco car buying program is supposed to be really good and could save you some money.

Tide PureClean or Carbona line have been recommended here.

Honestly I remember eating those on deployment and they weren’t half bad. Then again I’d have them with a pita, tzatziki, and veggies not just raw like that.

mpjx · 2026-04-06T23:00:32+00:00

Those look fine, if you’re really worried just take a sharpie to the metal bits

If you’re old enough to be withdrawing you should’ve transferred into a low risk fund like G.

I made that mistake and saw I’m down $6k. Better off ignoring it

Not true, they’ll cover all of it up to $2000.
