All I need to do to replace it is go over to the CIS desk during one of two service hours, monday-thursday, when their system isn't down, and the one guy who can do it isn't out of the office. So far each of my visits has met one of those criteria separately; sooner or later the stars will align and I'll actually be able to get it replaced. die CIS scum

A Kpro posted:I drove through Fallon and my god what a terrible place to have to live. It was like the twin to Mountain Home complete with random giant sand dune several miles away. Fallon is why I'm willing to live 40 minutes from work. Also, Reno on the other side. I still want to check out that sand dune though, there were a TON of trailers over there today and from the highway I could see people doing runs down the side.

I was out on the ranges checking out some new construction with the guy that signs off on that stuff. I take any chance I get for a field trip out there, but it's not that common.

Interesting things east of Fallon: 1. Middlegate station 2. Hornets dropping bombs on fake towns and strafing fake terrorists 3. Turning the other way and going to Reno/Tahoe.

https://www.navycrow.com This site popped up as a sponsored ad on Facebook. Apparently men are referred to as mikes somewhere, and women are foxtrots in some reality. The entire thing is awful, but this is the worst muscly anthropomorphic crow I've seen in a while. https://navycrow.com/product/apparel/us-navy-crow-shark-surfer-shirt/ Stayfrosty LLC.

So I have a little buddy going on his first cruise. Are care packages still a thing? He gave me his ship address (Kearsage) so I'm taking that as a sign that he needs new gay porn and butt plugs. Is there any other non-joke stuff he might actually like too?

LHDs are large enough to have a ship store with the basics. A lot of the stuff people sent was a waste because the junk food and toiletries was in the ship store anyways. Workout supplements and holiday themed type stuff is all I got. Maybe sauces to liven up the ship food. Just ask him what food items he likes that he can't get If he's a nerd and is taking a console new release games

I had some buddies from school go infantry, I sent them care packages with all metal french presses with built in thermos that you could cook over a stove or camp fire and 50lbs of Italian coffee grounds in Folgers cans, as well as a bunch of socks and pictures of me shamming, getting promoted and getting lap dances.

May I recommend some condiments? My cruise was on an LHD, and halfway through we ran out (or marines stole them). Every bit of dry meat was even dryer when we ran out of ketchup, steak sauce, whatever. Having your own bottle of siracha or whatever can really make it more bearable. Also the boat funk is strong, send him some of those car air freshner clips he can put on his rack air vent. Finally I would say kleenex and cough drops and mucinex. People pass the plague around the ship and medical never gives you anything useful (how about some motrin?).

The LHDs were fantastic for having the vent in the rack. Carriers need to join that club. Stewing in your own midrats fart is so much worse without the vent to blow it out of the curtain.

I'll add another vote for condiments. Sriracha is an easy one, though a little set with multiple sauces would be a really pro move. Variety is nice. And air fresheners are always great, especially if you've been dumping hot sauce on everything you eat. Depending on the size of the box and how tight you can pack it, a memory foam mattress pad is an amazing quality of life improvement if he doesn't have one. I never went all out with rack mods, but a foam pad is one that I'm always going to bring with me.
