The way i did it, mcnally, is by gathering all the sizes, placing the order with everything shipped to myself, and then collected shirt cost plus shipping from everyone. Tshirts fit nicely into the small usps flat rate box, so that’s what i used for everyone.

I’m pretty sure he’s an idiot. None of those checks require storing anything in plaintext or even in a reversibly encrypted form. Storing hashes of 5 prev passwords is trivial to check against, and it’s possible to know that a password is too close to a previous password if you know the entire hash/salting process.

Is there any reason to go one way or the other, or is he just too cheap to spend the $2 on a new rack?

marines don't stack medals until they get 6. pretty sure I had a 4 wide rack I used as well at one point that was fine on my navy uniforms.

e: yeah here's from navy regs:

quote:

5314. LARGE MEDALS

1. Manner of Wear. Large medals are worn on the service coat or jumper of Full Dress Blues and Full Dress White. When wearing more than one medal, suspend them from a holding bar that supports the medals' weight. Place the holding bar of the lowest row of medals in the same position as the lowest ribbon bar. The bars measure 4-1/8 inches wide, and each row of medals is 3-1/4 inches long from the top of the suspension ribbons to bottom of medals, so that bottom of medals dress in a horizontal line. Multiple rows of medals should be grouped with the same number of medals in each row, with the lesser number in the top row if necessary. A maximum of three medals may be worn side by side in a single row with no overlap. Arrange four or more medals (maximum of five in a single row) following the layout in <Table 5-3-1>. Overlapping shall be proportional and the inboard medal shall show in full. Mount the medals so they cover the suspension ribbons of the medals below.

Marines hand out frat charges for E5 and below hooking up with each other? :wtc:

i mean i guess this was a senior/subordinate situation, but it's also the bottom half of junior enlisted loving each other. if she was an SNCO loving an E1, maybe, but still this is really loving dumb and sounds like someone looking for an easy way to railroad her out.

Aren't BAH rules dependent on specific circumstance? Like claimed dependents and the like? I doubt it's as hard and fast as once you got it, you got it.

gently caress me mr. law man that poo poo's written down. Look it up. Your job is to be the research bitch forever now. You chose this role.

But seriously, I don't have an answer to the question either and can't give a gently caress to look it up myself because gently caress you if you're still in.

Just wanted to point out, once you receive BAH for being married / having dependents. Regardless of divorce or loss of custody you can not lose dependent based BAH. For you will in some form owe payment in either child support or alimony.

This being stated points that your section “A.” Is either false information fed tontou or a lie you created in the sake for telling a story.

:lol:

You're wrong, btw. I spent five minutes and found ways you can lose dependent bah after divorce.

Yeah no sweat just pay me BIOTCH

Hopefully you do get paid and don't have to work for free for over 2 years to get a job. I'm still unemployed and only potentially have legal fees pending if the people I send demand letters to do not settle immediately (they will).

You chose to go into a profession where a non-trivial number of graduates from better schools than the one you're in cannot find meaningful employment. Entry level wages for attorneys in Florida, for example, are the exact same as they was 20 years ago ($39-42k). Only a handful of state attorneys in florida break 6 figures period. Also reminder that Florida is not the worst state when it comes to lawyer wages. Private sector wages are only 10-30% higher.

The only way you will make any money is if you are the number 1-3 person in your class, and even then you're going to be a monstrous wage slave. You still have time to drop out and get a real education that will set you up for life instead of wasting your money on law school.

Jacksonville is not starting pay at $110k. I haven’t found anything in Florida remotely close to $100k starting.

Biglaw is also at $190k right now to start.

If they knew the tanker was there, and they couldn’t work out a safe way to go around, why didn’t they just stop and wait for it to pass...? Am I crazy? I don’t know anything about ships, but isn’t that a no-brainer?

Ships can’t really “stop.” The best they can do to slow themselves rapidly is to throw everything in reverse. Honestly not super duper up on how well an OHP Frigate can slow, but it’s not something you do often or in traffic.

Man, what's the point of being a colonel if you can't even get your minions to build you a dog park. That's got to be one of the lamest reasons to get fired.

"I had an affair with a married junior enlisted member."

"I accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes."

"I sold national secrets to China."

"I really, really wanted a dog park next to my house."

Former captain of mine (and three to four other goons) got fired from his O-6 major command in large part because he let the crew of the ship keep a live goat onboard for a San Diego to Hawaii transit.

Refusal to voluntarily unlock your devices for search by TSA means they will indefinitely confiscate them and try to brute force their way into them instead.

In a lot of those cases you're being prevented from entering the USA not just getting on a flight. You're not free to go, because you're trying to come into the country and they literally do not have to let you in if they don't want.

All of these password attempts and other things to prevent them from accessing means they just seize your device with likely permanence. You have zero rights when entering the country right now even as a citizen. You either comply with TSA/ICE or you don’t enter.

They do not “arrest” you, so there is no 6th amendment right to counsel. They are statutorily authorized to perform searches so no 4th amendment protections. No one has successfully challenged any of this.
