Bahn Thai should be avoided. Yeah I was just on some short training orders and I blew my per diem on some great food in Seattle. I’ve been meaning to try Seol Korean. Biggest issue is we only get 30 minutes if our GS bosses don’t fall asleep at their desks.

I ended up turning it into general dining advice since I frequently hear/have heard from sailors and other people that dining options are limited and crappy.

A SOF Marine posted:Seattle is its own entity altogether and the world is your oyster over there. The shipyard sucks, and if you limit yourself to NBK, you’re hosed. But there are some bright stars nearby that make it more bearable. I was going to come in here and tell SPUR really loud, but then I saw they closed drat near three years ago (RIP). Metropolitan Grill was stuffy, but a drat good steak.

If you’re looking to secure your place on the guillotine list there’s always Daniel’s Broiler in SLU or Canlis. I don’t think Daniel’s has a dress code, but Canlis does. For less insane prices, but good food there’s Steelhead Diner or The Pink Door as well.

Half way through the DIY move to Whidbey, camping out in a sketchy Colorado rest stop while the roomate drive the truck god knows where. As I lay here with my head next to a cats litterbox and a flickering parking light blasts my eyes I can only think one thing... "I really hope I make money on this move"

Both times I've been to Whidbey it's been quite pleasant weather. Hopefully one of these days I'll get the chance to spend more than a NALO layover there. Supposedly the Growler guys are eager to get some AIC support so I may have to see about setting up a det there for a week or so.

Whidbey Island is run by the Dutch Mafia who care a lot about property values and "the right kind of businesses" and even the strip clubs close at 8pm to ensure that a Wal-Mart won't be built. Deception Pass gave me vertigo.

I’m not a strip club guy but my understanding is they can’t sell alcohol or something and I think the dancers have to be like four feet away.

LingcodKilla posted:There’s gotta be some WA law about strip clubs because I can’t believe there’s any around the bases out here. In WA they can’t touch you, like three foot rule, if alcohol is served. So they have places(or had) like Honeys that was dry(except for the parking lot) where it was a lap dance and private room kinda place. With $7 coca colas and ice teas. It was kinda gross there and had been the subject of many vice busts due to the de facto prostitution going on there. One of my old agencies got in the news by doing busts there but having actual sexual contact with the pro’s to establish PC for the arrests... lol. It was actually owned by a mob guy(now dead) and finally got shut down years ago. All the girls moved over to being bikini baristas and a few years back there was a big hub bub in everett and around there when it turned out girls were turning tricks at the coffee shacks(or in their storage sheds. Yup. There was a real lovely one by Bremerton in the early 2000s too. Don’t recall the name. The Dutch mafia keeps them off Whidbey by not issuing business licenses. I always though a go-go bar would do almost as well near the base; beer only, bar food, waitresses in daisy dukes and bikini tops but nothing yet.

LingcodKilla posted:That’s terrible. Why does this state hate freedom so much? In 1987 there was an outbreak of antibiotic resistant pink-eye in Seattle and Tacoma. It was determined by the state health department that 90% of the cases were from three Seattle and Tacoma strip clubs and the maneuver known in strip-club vernacular as the “Booty-Slap” when done close to or against a face. The governor at the time, Booth Gardner declared a state of emergency and for a year the 3-foot rule was enacted; later, to prevent its lapse the legislature sent a bill up and Gardner signed it.

Additionally most(or many at least) of the ti-tay bars in the area were owned by Frank Colacurcio Sr. who was the organized crime guy. He was a pretty gnarly dude and was big in pimpin for a long time... apparently his nephew wrote a book at some point too. When the Feds finally got him his empire shut down for the most part or changed hands.

Commander of 2nd MARDIV (who forgot about breakfast chow if you read the schedule) doubled down on this and said that instilling discipline is necessary because one Marine "killed himself" in Afghanistan because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt when the IED went off.

ran into one of the rdc chiefs i knew at medical he was extremely chill, which i guess i shouldn't be surprised but you know, when the only thing you know about a guy is that he loves to knife hand and yell at you, you just assume he's always like that he also told me to "never go to rtc unless you hate your family" so i guess i know what im not doing for shore duty
