Leperflesh posted:The military also doesn't just randomly lay you off due to downsizing, you have to be discharged and when you get discharged you have money and time and assistance to help you get settled. All the exploited poor people aside, this statement doesn't hold water. You can somewhat plan for getting out and save money, but you don't get like a "discharge bonus" or anything. All the transition assistance programs are baloney too. I did 15 years in the Air Force and was medically discharged and got nothing more than a "hey good job!". Thankfully I had lined another (higher paying) job up, and qualified for federal employee retirement simultaneously.

Well that sucks then, and now I know better. But that also means it's another example of poo poo being hosed up, and not how things are OK and cool because the military does it too.

You can totally get laid off from the Army when the do a force reduction or whatever it's called. Happened to a guy I knew. Turns out your job of sitting in an equipment depot doing basically nothing all day isn't all that valuable after all.

The Air Force called it "force shaping", "non-retained", and a bunch of other terms. It was more than amusing to watch that sine wave of too many ppl getting out under a campaign, then scrambling to, and over recruiting, then 18mo later another nonretention campaign.

"Non-retention campaign" is one of those pieces of HRese that could only be invented by the armed forces.

There are other reasons for them offering that apartment to the store manager like making sure he can always get to the store in the event of an emergency if the bridges are closed.

The most amusing part was watching them miss the median workforce trajectory and only [over]react to peaks and valleys. But that's how humans work most of the time, right?

When I was in the Air Force (89 to 93) they were kicking people out for first offense DUIs and other trivial poo poo because they were "cleaning house" from what I was told. Then when it came time for my re enlistment, they did not make any real effort to try to convince me to stay. They told me me I would be going back over seas if I did re enlist so I said gently caress that, and they said ok bye have a nice life

Hopefully your peeled the skin off quick and cleaned it. Sharks pee through their skin ammoniated nastiness that will taint the meat. Also. Those dorky long sleeve fishing shirts and lightweight pants the fishing guides wear are perfect for the keys and sweating.

It turns out the outdoors has bugs. Have you tried soaking your clothes in pyrethrin? It works pretty well. Make sure you are not wearing the clothes until they dry though.

I will forever remember trying to stand at attention for morning colors while biting gnats and mosquitos crawled in my ears, in my nose, on my lips, on my drat eyes... The South is a hell blasted wasteland that should drown in the sea.

Applebees Appetizer posted:there are indeed bugs in Colorado But only in the summer, and only in the boring parts. My brother just got back from a two-week stay in CO and did not see a aingle bug. he was at 9-12k feet elevation and it was 12-18F the whole time. Apparently it's a lot nicer than Nebraska winter up at the treeline, maybe because less air to conduct the heat away? He went from Texas to that, and was wearing a t-shirt when it was 20F.
