They do have women only cars on trains, because gropers/molesters are a very real problem. They also require all cell phones to have a loud, audible, and non-silenceable shutter click noise when taking a picture or recording, because creeps try to upskirt women.

Would not want to be a woman in Japan, basically. So the "Japanese trains are not safe for women" is not without merit, especially during peak hours.

So I was working in Bangor in a very secure location running some wire in the ceiling and found someone’s porn collection from at least 2006. Also one single glove.

You find the weirdest poo poo in scifs because once it's in you don't want to get caught bringing it out. poo poo stays around forever until they decommission it.

For a long time I've thought there's got to be a fun thing you can do with a classified document and silly putty, forcing someone to get official guidance on how to properly destroy a silly putty copy of a document. Shredding can't be right, and I don't think it's flammable.

I'd imagine the best way to "destroy" silly putty with classified information on it would be to grab a newspaper and go to town on it, roll it into a ball, rinse and repeat.

The actual leather flight jacket would be really tough to steal from the Navy, (each indivually accounted for and specially documented by NAS Jax supply) but agree they're pretty badass. Those shiny green nylon-y ones are pretty easy to come by, though. Lol I used to have a suppo that would rock one around

PS, you're a civilian. Sew any patches on any jacket you want who gaf what the AF says

I mean when I was still active. I had an issued A-2 jacket, but no fun allowed.

I wear a uniform sometimes at work and usually rock an entertaining patch or two, including this pen tab:



Usually the AWACS chemtrail one too.

Sailor at Pearl just shot up a drydock, 2 dead, shooter dead it looks like (not sure if that counts as one of the two).

Thank god it didn't turn into a similar cluster like the naval yard shooting.

It is MILPERSMAN 1001.125 https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/milpersman/1000/1000General/Documents/1001-125.pdf

And this is the blurb the NOSC sent out with it: Approvals are based on members fulfilling their MSO (<8 years of service). If a member has reenlisted/extended beyond their 8 year MSO, they are not eligible.

That doesn't make much sense to me but I am not an admin type

2. At Ease. The command is “AT EASE.” It is executed in one count. At the
command, keep your right foot in place. You may move about, but must not talk.
You may also be given this command when not in ranks. In this case, it means cease
talking, but continue whatever you were doing before the command. When in ranks,
the only command you may receive while at ease is “ATTENTION.”

According to the drill manual, your hands can be all willy nilly at ease in formation, but training commands train people to default to what is basically semi-parade rest presumably to look smarter and train the fidget out of people. Practically speaking, at ease means you can fix your uniform and chill. Attention and parade rest mean there is a tyrannosaurus rex nearby. Nobody in the Navy ever puts anybody at rest even though they sometimes mean that when they say at ease.

Hand placement of left over right is defined for parade rest.

quote:

Parade Rest. On the preparatory command "Parade," shift the weight of your
body to the right leg without noticeable movement. On the command of execution
"REST," and for the count of one, move the left foot twelve inches (measured from
the inside of each heel) smartly to the left. The heels remain on line and the
body weight rests equally on both legs. At the same time the left foot is moved,
clasp the hands behind the back. The left hand is placed just below the belt and
the right hand is placed inside the left. The thumb of the right hand lightly
grasps the thumb of the left. All fingers are extended and joined with the palms
to the rear. The elbows will be in line with the body. Silence and immobility are
required. (See figure 2-2.) The only command you may receive while at parade rest
is "ATTENTION."


Another commonly misused command is fall out which is not the same as dismissed.

I've been wondering for a while when this was going to happen.

And as a former instructor I can say that Saudi students were by and large a complete waste of space. And I truly hate to generalize like that but I guarantee you any instructor would tell you the same.
