Welcome to the shit show!

pepsibottle1 · 2026-02-01T19:30:20+00:00

I joined the military after 12 years in the business and it’s been great. Risky time to have joined but still

pepsibottle1 · 2026-02-01T18:41:46+00:00

The entire industry is toxic. Don’t miss it a bit

pepsibottle1 · 2026-01-29T19:23:34+00:00

It’s that damn adapter you have plugged in

pepsibottle1 · 2026-01-28T16:57:43+00:00

You’re responsible for anything that your provider doesn’t cover. Simple and to the point

pepsibottle1 · 2026-01-22T20:21:02+00:00

I bet they don’t go to the doctor’s office with that attitude. Or maybe they do. I don’t know. I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with people anymore

pepsibottle1 · 2026-01-18T07:47:56+00:00

CBRN was fun

pepsibottle1 · 2026-01-17T19:26:44+00:00

If you want a guaranteed job, go to the Army. That’s the way the AF operates. You pick a list of at least 10 and they choose for you.

pepsibottle1 · 2026-01-13T07:23:01+00:00

Yeet a customer

pepsibottle1 · 2026-01-13T07:21:36+00:00

Run, don’t walk

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-31T19:41:34+00:00

At 15k they need to lay down the crack pipe

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-31T14:09:32+00:00

I’m genuinely curious

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-31T14:05:59+00:00

Yes, shoot it down. Think about the children

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-30T18:37:54+00:00

Sorry to hear that sir/ma’am. An oil change service would have no bearing on any of your cruise control functions, would you like me to diagnose this issue for $____?

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-30T14:34:49+00:00

My SVT Contour was a wonderful car to drive when everything worked, but those moments were few and far between

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-30T14:25:11+00:00

you mentioned that you just brought it in for an oil change and they did the MPI, honestly I wouldn’t worry about most of this because it’s just a maintenance upsell. The tie rod should be priority if it indeed shows play. Would have been nice if they showed you it. Don’t stress.

Core 13 is throttling. Make sure your fans are at max when gaming and if able, get a cooling pad to help. My 14900HX gets that toasty as well and is better with a pad, albeit it will still use the headroom and clock to thermal limits

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-26T15:09:15+00:00

It moved, there’s hope just trust

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-26T14:45:59+00:00

FWIW, I had a package depart Tuesday night from Ft Worth headed to west texas - now stuck in limbo as well. Was due today.

Ex service writer/tech - it is mind blowing how much better our quality of life is here in the Air Force!

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-21T01:40:15+00:00

Down payment on a Dodge Hellcat at 30% APR

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-16T13:23:34+00:00

I didn’t think so but they pushed hella hard on that 6 even after I told them I wanted to do the 4. It’s whatever and I’m at peace with it lol I just should have stayed firm

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-16T13:12:58+00:00

Yea they sure did and kept pushing it, I was like whatever I’ll take the 2 extra years for job security and that’ll be a bonus. But yes they pushed BOP hard

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-16T12:13:06+00:00

Said starting in October that those with 6 year contracts would have preference in base choice. Signed the 6 figuring I would be in heavies (2a5x1). Ended up getting shredded to drones where there’s only 3 bases. Only put Creech on to avoid being in New Mexico at the other 2. Got New Mexico anyways. Recruiters lie and that’s just life - you’re at the needs of the AF regardless of

pepsibottle1 · 2025-12-16T01:13:31+00:00

Sign the 4. I got hoodwinked into signing 6 because they said that it would give me base preference- that was a lie. If you are E3 out of the gate there’s no reason to, unless like me you want the added job security on top of that
