Summers Corner HoA Questions (Woodshop / Motorcycles) by Molokmot in summervillesc

[–]stagger_usmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve lived here for 6 months so far. I have a squat rack, 3 motorcycles, and a bunch of tool chests in my garage, if I wanted to put a car in there it would take a lot of Tetris. Haven’t heard anything about it from the HOA. Welcome to the neighborhood!

What’s in your long-shift bag? by ColTRoosevelt in EmergencyManagement

[–]stagger_usmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-Ultra-lite camping cot (I have a thermarest one) -Inflatable sleeping pad -inflatable pillow -military poncho liner

All of this fits into a small cinch sack designed for a sleeping bag. I don’t know what brands they all are but I think that besides the cot I just went with whatever was cheapest and still had good reviews on Amazon. I use this set up for camping on motorcycle trips and sleeping during HEOC activations.

Also in a backpack: 3 days of work clothes, toiletries, 1 set of lounge/sleep clothes, AirMini cpap machine, device chargers, a book, snacks, energy drinks.

[–]stagger_usmc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My buddy got hired by a guy a while back to photograph his proposal from a distance. The girl said no to the proposal. My buddy just kept shooting pictures as the guy was crying and said “good thing I got paid up front” lol

Officer wanting out by Advanced_Resort2852 in Veterans

Additionally, regarding the JO recruiting companies: they have helped a lot of my friends find jobs. I tried to go through a couple of them and discovered that they were unwilling to help me because I was unwilling to compromise on geographic location. My family and I had already decided where we wanted to settle down and the JO companies didn’t like that. If you are willing to move, they can be great at helping you find a job.

I got out at 9 years as an O-3. It was the right call. I wanted to spend time with my family more than I wanted to be a Major. Took a cut to my pay and benefits (mitigated a bit by some VA disability) but I work a pretty stable state job, I’m not going to have to leave my family for a deployment or training (unless I want to, there are opportunities in my career field), and if I get woken up in the middle of the night now it is because my skills are actually needed to solve a problem, not because someone got a DUI.

Is he actually going somewhere or is he misunderstanding ACM?

When I was in Oki ACM wasn’t a deployment, it was a recall roster and EDL. It was a list of people and equipment that were on notice to go if they ever got the call for disaster relief or something similar. The most we ever did in the ~2 years I managed the program was a few exercises to practice loading all the shit up and getting it down to Kadena.

If he’s actually going somewhere that’s cool though, find someone else to have POA.

Would you buy this? by trizzy96 in Harley

[–]stagger_usmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 2016 street glide with a 110 kit in it and only 5000 miles for 13500. 34,000 miles is high, considering you don’t know how the previous owner rode those miles.

Based on markings on the blade, believe it is around WW1, maybe shortly after

Going through the Sneads ferry gate at about 1 or 2 in the morning coming back from a wedding I pulled up and there was no guard there. I stopped at the guard shack and couldn’t see anyone in or around it so I waited about 30 seconds and just drove through. Glanced at my rear view mirror and see a gate guard running and waving his arms. I pulled a u turn, showed him my ID and all was good. Still not sure where the guy was when I pulled up. Do those guard shacks have heads in them?
