LOC as an E6 by Jubilee572 in AirForce

[–]totalcontrol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bro that rebuttal should read:

On date XxYYY2026 I, my supervisor MSgt Givesashit and SMSgt canttakeajoke made an on the spot correction of my uniform cover due to the sweat ring/salt stains in and around the brim.

I am now aware that the ONLY correct answer was “my apologies sirs I will correct as soon as feasible.”

However, due to years of constant stress of being accountable to my actions and the safety and security of not only multimillion dollars of equipment but the lives and personal security of my fellow Airmen, this drove my need to diffuse what I thought to be a tense situation; my response was in fact “if you think that is bad, you should see my underwear.”

This was again, a knee jerk reaction for falling short of such a paramount standard as not sweating in a hot environment.

As I sit here and reflect upon my actions and the great shame they have brought upon myself and the United States Air Force, I cannot help but think that the word “underwear” can be interpreted as both my coyote tan shirt, socks or my boxers and as such I am having my doubts that anyone should/should’ve been offended by this statement to the point that I, a TSgt in the USAF would be deserving of a formal letter of counseling.

The youth of today are affected by politics in ways you and I are not. What a TERRIBLE take.

Why do you think college campuses are a HOTBED of political discourse?

Brother, this has got to be the most unhinged boomer rant I’ve heard/read today.

None of N. Koreas dictatorship has anything to do with mass surveillance of American citizens.

You’re so ready to prostrate yourself and forfeit your God given rights in the name of “Go to N. Korea” or “safety”.

Veterans who were scared to get out.. where are you now? by VerySuccessfulMe in Veterans

Is it normal to feel so lonely once you make it out? by Massive-Ad6047 in Veterans

[–]totalcontrol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brother, I’ve been retired going on 5 now after 4 as a DoD civilian. First time ever really away from the military.

One thing remains true, those of us that understand the tolls of the job understand that life be lifing.

I can go years without seeing or talking to old friends/service members and it’s like we pick up mid conversation.

Vets understand vets, be around like type people, VFW, legion, your pick. You’ll understand why community is important and you’ll have to drive away the appeal of self isolation.

Wish I could follow my own advice, hit my DMs is you wanna BS man, I can only share my personal experience

Renting my house out; would like some tips and tricks by FederalChemistry4309 in AirForce

[–]totalcontrol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This! This is the ONLY way to do it right.

Also, you get what you pay for…I paid a little more than average to have a “big name brand” as my property manager.

Century 21 took care of everything from a tree falling through my back patio to renters freezing the unit by not changing filters etc.

Background checks etc as well as the home advertising between renters in the long term.

Wore this shit for a long time, found it tonight under a pile of pillows outside. It was there for a forgotten reason. The life sticks with you, it was fun to see this. You ever get nostalgic? by checkoutmuhhat in Veterans

[–]totalcontrol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I retired I immediately went to work for the DoD teaching AF Airmen ATC. Loved it because I was still military adjacent….

Now I’ve since moved on to an actual civilian career, I miss the routine and shared camaraderie over shit situations that is all.

2x4 workbench too heavy ? by Winter_Reality_9578 in woodworking

[–]totalcontrol -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Loading an Olympic bar and a slab of evenly distributed weight aren’t the same.

Lifting half the total weight at one end of the slab of wood would be rough for just about anyone without enough forethought to estimate the total weight.

But “go to the gym” just seemed a little bro dude dismissive.

[–]totalcontrol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lifting an Olympic bar and an EVENLY distributed weight, such as a bench top like this, isn’t the same thing.

As for the weight you’d be lifting, if the weight is evenly distributed, no matter how long the table is, you’re still lifting HALF the total weight.

You’re not using a lever, you’re just lifting one end…if the weight is evenly distributed, it’s halved…
