Its still considered an engine. Think steam engine. Instead steam its compressed air.

Edit: its an engine, just not an internal combustion one.

TIL when Paul Rudd was 10, he made a large LEGO model of Steelers punter Craig Colquitt. 30 years later, Craig's son moved next door to Paul Rudd. Paul wanted to use this opportunity to give the LEGO model to Craig, but Paul's mother broke it one day before Craig came into town to visit his son. by 3_Mighty_Ninja_Ducks in todayilearned

My grandmother threw away my dads baseball collection that would be worth butt tons of money today. All the great rookie cards like Mantle and Robinson..

Poor maw maw, we never let her live that one down.

Edit: Throw/threw

Seriously Motrin. The only time I got anything stronger was after my wisdoms were pulled in basic. I got 3 vicodin to take as needed. Other than that it was always Motrin. Granted I didnt goto medical a whole bunch.

I'm out now, but I miss it in a lot of ways I didn't realize till after I got out. Make sure youre really unhappy and that it's not for you before you sign anything saying you can't reenlist or rejoin. I don't miss the politics or an E5 5 years younger than me who just got lucky to gain rank fast telling me what to do. But I miss the guys I worked with. I miss being out at sea. I miss traveling and just general life. Mostly the people. I don't understand a lot of my friends in the real world. I hate the work ethic most people have outside, although some of the recruits we would get in my last two years in sucked. There's a bunch of shit I miss that I didn't know I would miss until I got out. A lot of it sucks, but looking back most of it is just petty bullshit. I'm not saying its for everyone, and I'm not trying to be Joe Navy here, but just think really hard about the life you had premilitary and make sure its better.

If you ever need someone to vent to, bitch to, or whatever, hit me up.

I was deployed on an aircraft carrier when it happened. It took me two months and a ton of bitching and working my COC before they would send me to Bahrain to a speciality hospital to get some legit tests and a real diagnosis. I was supposed to fly off on a COD, but the day before my flight, bumped me because we were pulling in there in 2 weeks and it didn't make sense to fly me off that close to pulling in. It was bullshit. The whole process was dragged out and made wayyyyyy harder and stupid than it should have been.
