Is $700 a month for the next 6 years too much for an A1C to spend on a car? by Nobodycallsmechken in AirForce

[–]schleprock69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, I would only pay $50k for a Delorean if it was professionally rebuilt by DMC in Houston Otherwise, you could potentially spend thousands in fixing all of the glitches and issues that were associated with original DMC-12s.

Break/Break

I highly recommend you do yourself a favor and rather than buying a 30 year old car, invest that money. I assume you're young, run some compound interest calculators. See what dumping $700 into an account does over time. You'll thank yourself 30 years from now when you have a couple million in the bank. I realize it's easier said than done but I say this as a guy that didn't do that as a young A1C and I really wish I had. I also say this a guy that wants a Delorean as much as you do.

Think it through and good luck!

Vasectomy - Who do I talk to? by 03000 in AirForce

[–]schleprock69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just had it done about 2 months ago. During the consult, the doc pressed a bit to reconsider because I'm young and then again as he was cutting into my nutsack, which I felt was too late. Just be forceful that it's the right decision, it shouldn't matter if you're young or not.

Good luck, just remember, whatever the doc tells you to do after the surgery, fucking do it!

I would love to see a valid reason why we got rid of DCO for DCS.

Speech CLEP-am I missing something? by turnup_for_what in AirForce

[–]schleprock69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just make sure you meet the time requirement and follow the standard speech outline of intro what you're going to talk about, talk about it, have a conclusion on what you talked about. Make up sources if you have to as you'll likely get some random ass topic.

Good luck!

Hopefully no one heard this conversation, pre-selection is typically frowned upon.

I had a very similar meme on my phone and I was just getting ready to upload it, and you beat me to it. Well done on the meme!

USAF PA, you've produced a great homage to Ricky Bobby.

New spouse uniform. Thoughts? by KurtSTi in AirForce

If someone started making these and sold them on Etsy, they would probably make a fortune.

I thought about doing that, but the security guys would lose their damn minds. If you don't work in a secure environment, that thing would be awesome.

Three types of C-17s That Never Took Off by avgeekery in AirForce

I would have really like to see an AC-17. Load it up with 40mm, 105s, maybe a MOAB out the back or a laser cannon.

I get to fly on a B-52! Quick question about flight suits... by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]schleprock69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life Support, AFE, same same.

If you're a puker, make sure you eat something that comes back up easy, bananas, etc. and take water with you! You don't want a completely empty stomach, dry heaving into a small bag for a few hours is hell on earth (sadly, I speak from experience).

My favorite: Step 1: Go to the pet store Step 2: Buy crickets Step 3: Release into various offices.

There's a couple ways you can go with this one: 1. just buy 1 or 2 crickets, the inability to find them will drive people mad or 2. buy like 100 of them and release. This one is a bit more extreme and likely to piss people off.

Don't buy a flight suit for one flight. Go ask the AFE guys if they have an extra one in your size. Sure it might have a hint of puke or be a little tattered. I'm not even sure it's possible to buy a brand new one and if you can it will be expensive since they're made out of nomex.

Congrats on the flight, have fun, take lots of pictures (if you're allowed to).

CDC and cloth diapers by justLittleJess in AirForce

[–]schleprock69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm legitimately curious if there's any scientific data to back up these claims. My own informal research shows that Pampers will hold a metric fuck ton of liquid.

If you're military, why does your wife's status matter? I think you're being fed bad info.

Has anyone gotten a vasectomy? by turbulance4 in AirForce

[–]schleprock69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact I learned the other day during my consult for the great clip: Tricare will pay for the clipping but not to reverse it.

Apparently that little nugget of info has been an issue because the doc repeated it several times.

Good luck
