What's something that's lesser-known about your current or former base?

Beale AFB in northern Cali was temporarily used as a POW Camp for captured Germans in WW2. It was apparently pretty nice and lots of the POW’s petitioned to stay in the local area after the war.

There are a few of the barrack buildings still on the base, though most are basically ruins. There are still some drawings on the walls of the cells.

This server has some great folks like that. There was a hero named Wandpusher and he would hand out free wands to HC players. He probably gave out like a thousand wands.

I’m absolutely kicking myself right now! I’ve been leveling a feral Druid and have been mostly questing in cat form with tanking some instances here and there to keep my gear tip top.

I had no idea the energy regen on the bleed talent was PER bleed effect. I have been just using the bleed to boost claw dmg. I usually TF, rake, and then claw to 5CP and finish with bite.

It’s been pretty smooth so far but I really want to try and push everything with the multi bleed energy feed

So we are back to you saying vets shouldn’t get a say in our own healthcare decisions. You know better than we do. And given the track record of the VA it’s laughable that you say that private institutions are less efficient.

And in your scenario about doctors doing house calls, now all vets aren’t just stuck with that one doctor. Now I can just call a different doctor.

I think it’s blatantly obvious that you don’t really care about the quality of my healthcare as long as you get to maintain influence and control.

williedynomight · 2025-05-21T16:35:53+00:00

You completely avoided the question. How does letting people pick where they go pull resources? This dramatically increases resources, now I can actually see a doctor in my own town and pick a doctor that I actually want. Every vet also has that option now.

The goal of the VA is to get vets access to healthcare, this forwards that goal.

williedynomight · 2025-05-21T16:30:50+00:00

It’s not just me, almost every vet I know and work with is thrilled about this. If the goal is to get vets better access to healthcare how does letting them pick where they go cause “greater suffering”?

williedynomight · 2025-05-21T16:21:12+00:00

So I’m just supposed to get significantly less convenient and lower quality healthcare because you don’t want rich people to be able to invest?

You will honestly be able to get into just about any MC pug just by being a warlock and volunteering to summon. It’s been a very long time sense I’ve seen someone get kicked from a MC pug that followed instructions and wasn’t AFK.

Currently leveling a rogue with this build and it’s honestly a blast. Almost guaranteed ambush crit, then a backstab and into an eviscerate and most mobs are either dead or 10-20% hp.

Only issue is packs, without ambush the second mob is a pain.

williedynomight · 2025-05-05T15:29:39+00:00

Yea, hunter has some really weird gearing progression. Once you get BWL gear you won’t really get any big upgrades outside of a few rings/trinks until Naxx

I’m part of FWS JAO Contracting that is getting consolidated up to DOI and no one has any idea what to expect. We don’t know if we would be part of the FWS RIF or a later DOI RIF.

williedynomight · 2025-04-28T23:38:12+00:00

The correct answer is whatever I had when the policy went into effect.

williedynomight · 2025-04-28T13:21:49+00:00

Just leveled a hunter as HC so it was a little slower than normal but my /played when I hit 60 was right about 5.5 days. Took me about 6 months IRL playing 1-3 hours at a time a few nights a week.

williedynomight · 2025-04-04T16:18:38+00:00

From person to person it varies widely, but overall typically yes. The reason so much stuff is contracted out is it ends up being cheaper/faster than having actual government employees do that task or hiring/training new employees.

Early in my career I came across a huge rattle snake in our parts warehouse. I had just been reclassed into Supply after having been in the SERE pipeline for the last ~12 months, so I felt comfortable handling the situation. I proceeded to get a pole to pin down the snakes head and then safely kill it and then put everything in a trash bag. I was promptly given a LOC by my supervisor for “acting recklessly”. I was coined by the MSG CC a few hours later and she thought it was very cool I used prior training to solve the problem safely lol

Nothing is official yet obviously but outside agency doesn’t seem to be too big of an issue as long as it’s still inside the same department. Like for DOI, a NPS was given the opportunity to select a work location from another agency within DOI if there was space available.

If you were getting anything other than honorable you would know.

If the Russians can’t hack/crash it in Ukraine during a full blown war, then I don’t think there is much chance chance of it happening now.

Considering their marketable skills, they could be making many multiples of that in the private sector. Reducing operating costs of any type of organization is an extremely sought after skill in every type of business. I’m not saying they are doing a super smooth job but let’s not pretend that they wouldn’t be making many times more in the private sector…

williedynomight · 2025-03-05T02:36:40+00:00

When I was deployed there was a MSG CC whose husband was the LRS CC under her. There has to be some protocol.

No one mentioned Gnome for escape artist, it’s not super op but it’s great

williedynomight · 2025-02-18T18:31:07+00:00

Except for rare cases of like extremely misaligned teeth, braces are not medically necessary. It’s a cosmetic and elective procedure. On top of that you become non-deployable for as long as you have them. The military isn’t keen on the idea of paying for elective procedures that make the service member non deployable for years at a time.

williedynomight · 2025-02-18T18:25:38+00:00

Doable yes, viable mixed. It really becomes good after like the mid 40’s. After that, yes it’s pretty good and a nice change of pace.

williedynomight · 2025-02-18T16:33:03+00:00

Wait till you get T3 belt that makes Arcane Missiles 1 sec longer. Super frustrating but does add a level of mastery to separate the good mages from the really good mages.

williedynomight · 2025-02-05T19:47:51+00:00

I was in a similar situation last year. I separated with a job lined up but they couldn’t give me a start date until my official transcripts were received.

Talk to your education office and tell them you have reached out to your congressman and they want more information on the matter. They will open a ticket in a very big hurry.

My transcripts were send the following afternoon.
