I was loving livid when I did BLC down there last summer, thinking I could’ve been stationed down there instead of at Wainwright. Aside from maroon beret fucknuts running around, JBER is nice as hell.

To be honest, I kind of like Fairbanks and the surrounding wilderness. It’s got a quaint charm once you’re away from Cushman and there’s plenty of beautiful sights and neat little towns to visit. Wainwright is just a den of fuckery and I hate every unit and everyone on the base.

The point I'm trying to make is that the only way to come out on top is to kick the Air Force in the nuts, beart it savagely with a weight and take a dump on it's face.
JBER was alright on the Air Force side, except it's a careerists' paradise and a magnet for the kind of cutthroat fucks I hate working with. Anchorage was chill but I lived out in Wasilla where the cost of living was way cheaper. Mad Myrna's has an amazing drag show every Friday and there's a lot of good local beer.

It was fun commuting 45 minutes each way, especially when a retarded trucker slams an oversize load into an overpass and shuts down the one road between my house and the base. I'd say I'm the idiot for moving that far away but being able to stay the gently caress away from the military on the weekends was well worth it.

I assume so, but an E-3 has four old thirsty engines and weighs a loving lot. At cruise it's burning more fuel than the Chinook, and at takeoff it's burning a lot more fuel.

Edit: I don't have details on the specifics, but I know the planners guys at the wing used a much higher number (another zero, to start) for planning purposes.

Pretty much every diesel engine in the military uses JP-8 jet fuel. It's basically just a kerosene variant, so you can even use it in stoves.

(stolen from r/relationships thread, thought of you lot)

WIBTA for reporting someone who didn’t give me back my underwear?

This happened rather recently to me and I’m still sorta freaked out and angry about it.

I live on an Air Force base in the barracks. Each floor of the building I live in has a washing and dryer room with around 5 to 6 washers and dryers a piece. Early this morning after I got off of work, I stripped everything off my bed and got my clothes ready to wash. When I got back later that night, I took my clothes to the dryers and dried them. Since it takes a good 70 minutes to dry clothes in those machines, I went up to my room to wait it out. Once they were done, I went to collect them.

There’s no one else in the room besides another person folding and doing his laundry as well. He gives me a look, but says nothing to me. I pay no mind to him and load up my bag with my sheets and clothes. I turn around to check for my socks and I realize that I dropped a lot of clothes on the ground while I was putting them in my laundry bag and going to the other dryer to get my sheets. As I pick them up I notice the guy has something in his hands, stretched out between his hands. I don’t pay it any mind until I realize that my favorite underwear isn’t in the mixture of clothes I dropped. I go to check my bag thinking I dropped them in already but I see that he has my underwear in his hands. He’s stretching them, inspecting the inside and feeling the lace along the sides all the while staring at them. I freeze and freak out for a second before thinking that he probably just wants to return them and is waiting for me to stand up or say something. I stand up and look at him expectedly with my hand outstretched at him before he turns around, with my underwear still in his hands. I say “hey” to him loudly and agitated and wave my hand at him, forcing him to turn around.

Me: “Uh hey buddy, those are... My underwear that you’re holding.”

Him: “I know.”

Me: “Could you give them back to me?”

My hand is still outstretched and I’m basically glaring at this guy. I feel uncomfortable when people touch my clothes that I just washed, and seeing him manhandling something thats really private and personal infuriated me. We stare at each other for about a minute, both of us in silence, so I become a little forceful.

Me: “Give me back my loving underwear.”

He doesn’t respond and just pulls them closer to his chest.

Him: “They’re warm.”

At this point I’m too baffled to say anything to him so I go up to him, snatch my underwear from his hands and go to my room to sort and organize my clothes. I’m still astonished at this as I’m typing it, but I’m so angry that I feel like I’m going to virtually explode.

WIBTA for reporting him to my dorm manager? I know what he looks like, and there are cameras right outside the door to the washroom. I’m just afraid I’m overreacting here.

WIBTA?

Yep. We used JP8 today fuel the arctic heaters up in Alaska. That is, when we were allowed to use them (almost never) and when we had all the parts for them (lol nope).

Edit: I should refresh before posting. That dude isn't a guy I would want around. 100% chance he's going to do something even more hosed up later.
