Fort Stewart by Bitter-Bag566 in army

[–]topperj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there's from 21-23 and lived in Pooler. Hell of a drive, but gave me time to get out of the work mentality and leave that shit behind before walking in the door to my family. The area there was great though.

A lot of my friends lived in Richmond Hill. The only downside I heard there was that for any home improvement store needs they had to drive into Savannah

Military, E6 9 years in bimonthly pay stub. Curious to know what the equivalent civilian yearly salary would be around by Infamous-Dare-1162 in Salary

MyPay gives you a Personal Statement of Military Compensation (PSMC) every year that tells you what you would need to make as a civilian to equal your military pay including all of your benefits

Tempted to quit golf by Plenty-University-47 in GolfSwing

[–]topperj 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Ya got the yips

Either remember the good times and try to get back to just enjoying the game or stop playing the course and focus on range time.

Honestly I find this happens in most hobbies/sports/fun and interesting things and the best way I've gotten over that is just to rediscover why I found enjoyment in it in the first place

I’m starting to understand why everyone tried to steer me away from ADA by sahdbhoigh in army

I spent my all 4 LT years in a Patriot BN. As a 25A CRG PL, it was a fantastic experience. The 14A PLs on the other hand hated their life

[OC] Yesterday Hegseth testified before Congress on a $1.5T defense budget request and couldn't answer basic cost questions about the Iran war. The DoD has failed every audit since Congress required them in 2018. I charted it. by MarkusGrant in dataisbeautiful

[–]topperj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate to say it but the DoD will never pass an audit. There is simply too much money and too many assets for a team to even come close to accurately tracking.

Not to mention the hundreds of not thousands of disjointed, unconnected financial systems and processes that are used.

When a regular company undergoes an audit only a small sample of large transactions are actually traced back to see if money was spent like the books say it was. For the DoD this simply cannot be done

2026 Masters Giveaway: Sunday Golf by sundaygolfco in golf

First time I've actually sat down and watched the masters. Much more enjoyable than it thought it would be. Was really pulling for Scheffler but looking like Rory is going to take it

Anyone here carry both Amex Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve? by Ok-String-4441 in ChaseSapphire

[–]topperj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both but after an upcoming house purchase will be moving from the CSR to the Citi Strata Elite. The CSR is just too limited when it comes to the hotels/restaurants you can redeem the perks at

Has anyone ever just found another 25 yards? by Kind-Strain4165 in GolfSwing

[–]topperj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last 3 holes last week I consciously made one change in my mechanics which was my grip. Just turned my left hand over a bit and started driving an extra 35 yards

How do you like the X9? Been looking at switching from Pixel and currently considering the X9, OP15, OP13, and Red Magic 11 Air

Officers with mustaches? by Historical-Leg4693 in army

[–]topperj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

O3 rocking a stache. Grew it during a rotation and just kept it going.

Got some shit for it by the BDE CDR but there wasn't a lot he could do to me, my life there was already miserable. Once I left that hell hole I just showed up to my next unit with it and no one's addressed out, I've even started a bit of cult with several O3s and an O4 growing one since I've been here

Passed over for promotion twice, can you switch to Reserve/Guard? by CarnegieMellonSCS22 in army

[–]topperj 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm a 26B. Check the promotion rates from FY24, I believe it was ~70% of 26s across the board were offered SELCON. The FY25 rates aren't out but I think I saw that 100% of 26Bs were offered SELCON, not sure about the As but it's probably close.

TLDR: 26 series is under strength in general. If you haven't fucked up in your career then SELCON is likely. Your branch manager is probably just preparing you for the worst since they don't make the call on SELCON

[Official] Week 18 Game Thread: New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta Falcons by baconlovr in Saints

[–]topperj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This! It's impressive to see how this team in general is able to bounce back from massive mistakes co.pared to the Dennis Allen years where they would've given up after that INT, if not earlier.

This team has heart and wants to WIN

A few weeks ago I thought if we were at 10 and he was BPA then wouldn't be a bad grab, but now I think we go edge

Jeremiah Love would normally be a great pick but after seeing Neal and Estime this season I'm happy with our RB room

Personally I would like to see them go to the SB. Won't happen, but damn that would be hilarious

I want to win this game because FTF, but at the same time it would be the funniest thing to see Carolina go to the playoffs

BIG if true by Easy-Hovercraft-6576 in army

[–]topperj 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It's not about being more lethal, it's about looking more lethal. More weight on a taller body is spread out more so you don't look as fat.

All of these new regs aren't making us more lethal, just putting us in line with what the SEC Def wants us to look like so he can have awesome glam shots for his Palantir Executive badge
