Every reservist I've met is trying desperately to go active duty which is almost seemingly impossible. Guess they're all just unemployed deadbeats idk Makes sense for the dudes that were active and just want that healthcare for their 4 flip kids I guess

Feel lucky you're allowed to own/possess fireworks. Here in communist Hawaii they're illegal except for organized displays...queue my wife dragging me on pearl harbor to set a lawn chair in the road.

The Chinese string firecrackers were especially popular and every morning after new years, 4th of july, Chinese new year, whole streets would be covered in red paper. Kalakaua was a war zone, the smoke would be so thick you couldn't see across the street.

Don't have to worry about spent mortars pinging off the roof of your car as you drive down a smoke covered street. 10 foot visibility at best. Children running in and out of the smoke in front of you waving sparklers around. poo poo was a war zone. Highways would have clouds of smoke drifting so thick you couldn't use them. Also wild fires. I gotta admit, they celebrated freedom pretty well here after being subjugated by us.

I had a buddy who made the mistake one year of leaving his car in the driveway instead of the garage on the fourth his first year on Oahu. It was covered with an inch of ash and soot from all the festivities.

Stopped into my NOSC today to check on my clearance (woo woo!) and now I'm supposed to talk with some senior chief about going active for their office IT. A year of desktop support at NOSC shore station wouldnt be so bad. Right? At the bare minimum it would give me a year to work on getting a TS cleared job and pad my resume.

All the people I know who got ERB'd went on to be much happier on the outside. One went to school and now works for Fluke, another got a job with SpaceX, another travels around for oil rigs or some poo poo, a couple went to work for Intel, some for Boeing, and so on. All of them miss it because they only fired lifers, but they have been more than successful in the real world.

But if I wanted more money I'd just get out. I want that retirement titty. Seems like a pretty good troll that you stay in past 10 just to get traded in for a seaman.
