Best DFAC I ever ate at was the one on Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras. All local nationals. I put on 15-20lbs from having refried beans, fried plantains, and rice with huevos rancheros for every breakfast.

That doesn't sound like all that hefty of a meal.

Grad school is becoming more and more required and it's really dumb. Probably 95% of the new hires we get have an MS/MA. I didn't have a chance in hell of getting a job with just my bachelors.

Don't worry, Trump is gonna make sure that advanced degrees are only available to the most worthless of the rich who don't see a sucker play.

When I first got out I had a couple friends who were weekend warriors with cocaine. I realized pretty quick that I didn't want to keep up and couldn't afford to if I had. It's been like 3 years since I've done blow but I don't have any particular Animus towards it.

Speaking of dabs, a buddy of mine met some chick that was tripping on acid and invited her back to my apt. He took her to plow town all night, and in the morning I woke up to her hunched over something with a butane torch. I thought this berserk chick was smoking meth, but she explained that she was just dabbing and I should chill. Welp that's my dabbing story.

When some street urchin (she was actually a QT but literally pulled off the street) is hunched over glassware in your living room there is cause for concern. If that bitch had been bogarting all the meth it really would've ground my gears!

Did she bring her own dab rig or something? Was she dragging a backpack full of glass around? Does she go out on drinking night with all that gear? So many questions!

Like, why not carry a vape pen and the wax/shatter you need for the adventure instead of five pounds of glass and a torch?

If Dabs are the at home game, vape pens are like the Gameboy of weed.

She had a little bag she had kept in her jacket. The chick was berserk so I was pretty happy to see her go. She worked at some kind of holistic herb shop.

Let's cut lite_sleeper a tiny bit of slack. He's a personnel clerk who got royally hosed by his chain and now he's stuck at Laughlin waiting out to retire. In AETC that's like TRADOC for you Army types. That's a pretty poo poo situation, albeit par for course, so maybe being locked outta the forums really gets under his skin. There's nothing else to do where he's at, so maybe this dying gay internet comedy forum is his only outlet in a life filled with disappointment and regret.

I remember a sit down between John Oliver and Stephen Colbert where they leaned kinda heavily towards the idea that the both of them as well as well as other similar folks normalizing this garbage under the guise of comedy played a not-insignificant role of getting Trump elected.

Guess we're forgetting about that.

They might be overestimating their influence a wee bit considering every republican voted for trump regardless.

There is an amazing thai place at Riverbend in New Orleans that has an official heat index of 1-5 but actually goes to 10. It's one of two restaurants I've ever been to where max spicy is too spicy (the other being killer burger). It's like a two day intestinal knife stab ordering the 10 but it's pretty goddamn tasty

I'm not a doctor, but my understanding is that Arizona is very similar to Florida in that only criminals live there and all that stands between you and what you want is the bullshit you tell yourself everyday - Leonardo Dicaprio

Edit: Is your house an honest to god cesspit? I don't think that a splinter would honestly warrant antibiotics, close observation, five stitches or concern over sepsis. Unless I am really missing the picture here your foot is going to be fine, and barring any downturns you should stop worrying about it. The litigious nature of American society means our medical care is P.good, though very expensive.

Mr. Nice! posted:

nukes get E5 automatically often in their contract once they meet the time in service requirements which they meet while in school or very shortly after. An E5 nuke is junior as fuuuuuuuuck. E4 nukes are people that are either stupid or have been to mast a number of times (frequent enough). If you're an E1-E3 nuke outside of school it's almost certainly because you've been busted in rank 2-3 times.

So most first tour enlisted arrive to a ship anywhere from E1-E4 with most in the E2-E3 area. Nukes are one of the few exceptions where people can regularly come to their first sea duty as an E5.

Edit: Also as mentioned in the previous post, STAR allows them to extend while in school and get E5 automatically as well.

Aside from being a SPU no nuke will arrive to their first non-training command higher than an e-4 barring truly bizzare circstances. STAR reenlistment is the only way to automatically put on E-5 and it does not become available until you've completed the training pipeline.

Almost all.nukes report to their first duty stations as E-4s . Due to the number of e-5 nukes, making it off the exam is actually typically pretty difficult, with advancement rates for mechanics and electricians sticking around 20% while I was in

I tend to do glacial lake hikes more than anything else around here. That's what my trail searches tend to start with, looking up lake trails and then doing Google image search to get a rough idea of what it's like. Of course that only goes so far, since there are lots of lakes named blue lake, lost lake, etc.

The forest service website is another good resource, they have a map you can pan around that has trails and such flagged as points.

Are you down south or what? I'm on the north end.
