ded posted:Well guys if you read the article you will find out he is paying for his kids college and bills he racked up while living the high-life as an O-6. He is getting 78k/yr pre-tax, 56k/yr post tax. Figure his first wife is getting a big chuck of that, depending on how long they were married. He actually probably gets more since he joined before 1980.

Ptolemaeus posted:It just kept getting worse. The barrel I assumed wouldn't be too much trouble. Then I found the box on top with trigger assemblies for the M3 and various rifle pieces. I figured that while probably not belonging in a storage locker, it wasn't too much of an issue. 30 Minutes later and finding M4 uppers with serials, random lowers, more barrels, the SIK keys with serials so probably filled, controlled crypto items, hard drives unmarked, and absolutely not one piece of BII, thats when I realized I had probably made a mistake. Not really an idiot example for me, but when my platoon took over QRF at Korean Village we inherited a shipping container from the previous army unit(82nd or 101st I think). In the container was a couple eotechs, a 240 reciever, backpack ECM systems, some NVGs, cyz-10(no key), a 117 and a lot of random non-serialized gear.

Cojawfee posted:A few months ago, a guy in my shop was being put up for airman of the whatever. We both came from a different shop, so the NCOIC of our current shop asked for some bullets from the old shop. Our NCOIC is trying to write it and asks the guy "Hey, can you explain what this bullet is about? I need some more information." Since the guy hadn't done it, he replied with "Uh, I don't know." So the NCOIC asked me. At first I had no idea what it was. It was something like adding memory to servers increasing storage by 300% or something which made absolutely no sense. It had nothing to do with our career field, not to mention that servers don't use "memory" as storage. NCOIC asked the guy who sent (and wrote) that bullet for clarification. It was the guy who barely speaks English and barely speaks Tagalog and he had no idea what it meant either. Thank you for your servers

He stated that, as a gs-whatever, he was due certain courtesies commiserate with an O-6. That doesn't change the fact that he was a weak-rear end bitch who probated people for SJW reasons at the height of somethingawful's SJWness because he was too afraid to say no/wanted to curry favor in DND or the mod forum.

Godholio posted:How much time do you spend talking about high school? Specifically, YOUR high school. By name. How often do you tap your class ring on the table to show off? false equivalency bro. Also, in Baltimore high school is actually a fairly frequent topic. I don't know why high school is talked about since I'm not from here. iyaayas01 posted:Yup. Assuming you're in a job more than a year or two removed from graduation, no one really talks about college in idle conversation. I can't remember the last time I made mention of "college" or my university in conversation with people at work. Hence Godholio's point...if they make a point of bringing it up right away, they're a tool. If it happens to come up in conversation several months down the road when you're randomly bullshitting about "crazy college stories" or whatever, that's a different story. Talking about college is just something that people do when they first meet. You know...establish some connection with the person, find topics for conversation, 'oh do you know so and so??', etc. Maybe air force officers are just robots that like talking about pt gear and their boring non-flying job.
