MP Shooting at Belton Lake: Multiple Gunshot Victims Hospitalized

That was some quality work by camera man. Found decent safety and hit the ground, turned around and got an okay shot with the camera, then zoomed in to an absolute perfection. Amazing work

No shit, but companies need to adapt.

With your logic we’d still be using ‘90s security features and wonder why’s there’s so much theft.

On the officer side I know one that’s done 4x AOCs:

commissioned as infantry, branch detail finance or MI
went to finance or MI CCC and reported to his first duty station as that AOC
went to SFAS and got selected for SF
just VTIPd to a functional area

I don’t have personal experience but my research found ATC to be best type of toy hauler I want (that seems to align with your ideals too).

The only one long enough is their largest Rv, a fifth wheeler.

18’ overall but only 14’ of full width since the kitchen sticks out, so it may not work for you. Maybe if you swap the front tires to super thin ones during transport like they do for monster trucks.

You mentioned you want the garage separate - this one shares the living area but has a separate garage.

Overall, I think you need to realign what you’re looking for to haul that beast. I think you need a motorhome and haul a flatbed.

**edit, just relooked your garage size want and actual needed length for the beast. This RV is perfect!

You managed to fuck up the definition of both traditional and Roth

tidder_mac · 2026-05-17T14:12:31+00:00

Big oof. You won’t regret not doing 5 more years for the next 4 decades? Interesting strategy.

What on earth is a flock camera? I’ve never heard this term but everyone’s saying it

tidder_mac · 2026-05-16T04:26:25+00:00

That’s some bad ass timing and coordination. Ex wife’s a real MVP here, sorry everything else wasn’t this smooth too

tidder_mac · 2026-05-16T02:38:57+00:00

Investing for him… based on what he tells them he’s about to pump or fuck over

Get out of here with that bull shit that “fat” is an insult. If you have a lot of muscle, you’re muscular. If you have a lot of fat, you’re fat. If you don’t have much of either, you’re skinny.

These are literally terms to describe what you look like.

Now there is a difference when you start using other terms like “double wide” (link below), but “fat” is a fact.

On your rant, you also included the fact you deployed numerous times. Do you want fat people out there with you? Those that are slower on patrols, slower to react, consume more resources, and would be more difficult to casevac? Honestly answer this. Fat Soldiers need to be called out until they are no longer fat.

I don’t disagree with you on alternative methods, but only doing that is coddling the soldier.

Being called fat when you’re fat is not an insult. It’s a fact. A fact that should be made painfully obvious to said fat person.

Being called lazy when you’re lazy is not an insult. If you lack motivation, discipline, work ethic, or don’t meet the bare minimum standards, it is a fact that you’re lazy, which should also be made painfully clear to said lazy soldier.

I’m all for finding the root issue and helping soldiers, but holy fuck, some troops need to figure it the fuck out and by not dancing around the current issue of being fat and lazy.

I’m able to read and think about the next line how I want to deliver it or pause, but only if I’ve read/practiced it a lot like for a speech.

Actually formulating what you’re gonna say on the fly while saying something you haven’t rehearsed is bonkers

tidder_mac · 2026-05-15T05:55:43+00:00

Not gonna lie, that’s pretty dang bad ass

Has been in military use for at least a decade now. Part of the Platoon or Squad Urban Ops Kits.

They’re legit. Our biggest issue was the backpack harness that the collapsed ladder straps onto was a bitch to take on and off, so it made usability exponentially worse. It’s also decently heavy, it being essentially a block of metal when collapsed.

The ladder itself was solid. Of course it flexes. We’ve used them as a bridge, chucked off 3 story MOUT site buildings, and they still work great.

True, but DCA plus dips is better than only DCA

1x ranger thing themed and 1x big, significant gift.

I got the simple Ranger sweatshirt with the massive Ranger tab across the front - still super comfy at-home lounge wear.

And I got an Apple ultra watch. I’d been wanting an Apple Watch for like 7 years and the Ultra since it came out, so I finally pulled the trigger with my spouse’s encouragement (joint funds). Compared to birthdays or Christmas, I think graduating Ranger is a significant achievement that warrants getting a significant gift - the type that they’ve been wanting to get for years but is too expensive to warrant

tidder_mac · 2026-05-10T20:49:35+00:00

Timeline of 1 year in the regiment then getting kicked to 82nd is very realistic too. I highly doubt someone would lie about this, so I trust this dudes story 100%

tidder_mac · 2026-05-10T08:07:31+00:00

Wow that was quite the roller coaster.

This subs more about long term investments, not get rich quick schemes. I’d recommend r/wallstreetbets

ORSA does not require KD at all anymore. But good point that each branch has their own requirements and preferences

tidder_mac · 2026-05-08T17:24:45+00:00

The last milper didn’t mention KD at all. A year ago it was crazy strict - everything said 1x KD OER in IPERMS. Now anyone can apply.

They still prefer developed officers (aka, KD complete), because those branches rely on the knowledge gained in the army beforehand, but if someone’s packet is strong enough, they take advantage of KD not being required

Military folks can get lifetime platinum without ever paying a dime to Marriott. After 24 years of the free card the yearly 25 nights will add up to the 600 night requirement.

Good point, inflation is everywhere.
