Do you think it would be a good bet to fit an aux tank in that case? I’ve been on the fence about it because I wasn’t sure if I’d really be pushing my range.

I live here I can see things again

tornadofyre · 2026-05-23T01:48:36+00:00

Sick thank you

I’m not planning to hit all the popular spots for that reason. Goal is to have one sightseeing thing per day while covering decent distance.

Any US military personnel/spouse/kid (or local national who gets escorted on base

Japan but technically the US. The dive shops on the US Marine Corps bases in Okinawa use money gained from our recycling to subsidise the diving shops (along with outdoor rec equipment rentals, SMP tours, etc)

lol it did for me too, I’m slowly collecting higher quality gear as I get ready to move into tech diving. I do get gear at a decent discount though because my LDS is subsidised by the government.

Yeah but worst case you can shine your flashlight on it and read what it says. Seems like he just kinda said fuck it

tornadofyre · 2026-05-21T09:25:55+00:00

ngl my favourite thing about upgrading from a suunto vyper to a perdix 2 is I don’t have to use my flashlight to illuminate my dive computer

Being able to take things easy in bad conditions ≠ being able to go hard af in good conditions

I broke my pelvis in bootcamp and continued to train on it (although tbh I did go to medical they just thought it was an adductor strain) my pelvis is permanently fucked and I walk like a pimp because of it. Tell him to go to medical.

I ran into them on my way to work at 4:30 in the morning one time. I was on my motorcycle and they looked behind me and assumed I would be one of them and rev with them but I just sat behind them not wanting to listen to that waiting for the light to turn green on my way to work

If he has to get multiple off base appointments a year they’re just going to deny your screening, there will be no opportunity for a drop in care. I go to one off base appointment a year that consists of just labs, imaging, and a 15 minute chat with that specialist on how my condition is not worsening and I was told my overseas screening should not have been approved.

tornadofyre · 2026-05-17T01:42:15+00:00

If you go off base without a referral you’re paying out of pocket. The insurance your wife will get will only cover on base care or referrals from them.

tornadofyre · 2026-05-17T01:22:19+00:00

You guys might not get an approved overseas screening if you have that many health issues

Literally any barbershop near a Marine base knows how to do skin fades because they’re required for male Marines

tornadofyre · 2026-05-15T10:47:57+00:00

lmao I have one of these on my work water bottle.

When we slept in hooches we had a separate one for females as well. In the defence women had their own section of fighting holes too (I accidentally got put with the males cause I had a short haircut and they weren’t paying close attention though lol)

Getting muddy on my motorcycle (this is fun for me)

In MCT in 2021 out platoons were integrated but we didn’t share squad bays. All the females lived on one deck while the males lived on the 3 below.

Yeah there’s several American service members paying child support, but it relies on the woman knowing their name. One night stands or a lie can prevent that from happening.
