@WellitHappened1 Did that with my furnace, my fridge, my washer and my dryer. YouTube and Google saved me thousands, and the parts are not as bad as you may think.

My dryer broke, instead of going out and buying a new one, I bought a 16$ replacement part and fixed it myself. How many people out here today can say honestly they are fixing there things instead of tossing them and buy a new one.

@JoelFeldmanPhD Depends. As an E4, that meant I could be in trouble. As an E8 that was a Company level Chief or a Dept Chief, it's probably for a meeting or if they had a question.

Military What are your thoughts when you are told to report to your commander?

@itsrosesm Yes. Because sometimes that one meal gets you through a shitty week.

Should taxpayer money be used to provide soldiers with fancy foods like steak, lobster, and crab?

@RudySchulz1 @gsd7373 @TonyBaumstarck @Astraeajustice1 @ImBreckWorsham I had an A2E3, full auto lower with the A3 upper. Two low-vis sights. Came out of NWS Crane with a bunch of X-models.

@gsd7373 @TonyBaumstarck @Astraeajustice1 @ImBreckWorsham Ahhhhh - no. The AR-15 has never been standard issue in the military. Standard issue was - M16, M16A1, M16A2, M16A3, M16A4 and some other mods based on the M16. AR-15 is not in the mix.

So apparently our military vets are receiving letters from the Pentagon warning them that if they speak out against Trump or Israel online they risk losing their benefits. Bold move to piss off millions of men that you taught to kill with an AR-15 and desensitize to murder under the guise of protecting the Constitution and strip of their own constitutional rights.

@phillipsharring @Kristinartz Crap. I missed this one. This is the correct answer.

@Kristinartz By her name

What do you call a woman who lives alone, without a husband or partner?

@Kristinartz Single woman?

@AnMattiStan @adamsb6 @Fat_Electrician @DefiniteBear And I dont either, I want to point that out. Anyone with less than 9 figures to their net worth probably doesnt get to have an opinion.

@AnMattiStan @adamsb6 @Fat_Electrician @DefiniteBear In fairness to them, neither do you.

I’ve looked into this very minimally, so I’m genuinely asking. Why are people opposing data centers so hard? My gut feeling is it’s hippies opposing nuclear power 2.0, but I’m willing to be convinced otherwise.

@Wix47 Most of us real vets can't wear the armor because of a crushed L4, knee cartilage that left the chat during a formation "fun-run", and chronic bursitis from doing overhead work.

Well it’s that time of year where all the civilians that said they would of joined the military but didn’t because of (insert excuse) are out wearing there tactical plate carriers with all the Velcro patches and using there “Go Rucks” doing the Murph Challenge 🤣🤣🤣

@RichFlores1981 @DavidAsmanfox Love the handle, BTW. And I agree 100 percent.

@DavidAsmanfox OR…. Consider voting for politicians who don’t send our soldiers to fight stupid wars. Sincerely, A Combat Infantry Veteran

If you’re pulling into a gas station this Memorial Weekend, complaining about the inconvenience of paying more at the pump…consider the sacrifice of the soldier, sailor, or Marine, making their sacrifices for our lives and our freedom. Exchange your complaint for a prayer.

@DavidAsmanfox Or, complain and just be mindful that others out there have it bad, too. It does not have to be an all or nothing mentality.

@JoelFeldmanPhD Made me think of the old Seabee joke: Q. What's the only thing lower than an E-1? A: An EO.

Military I was thrown into the brig so many times that I ended up an E-0.

@JoelFeldmanPhD My grandfather, great grandfather, great great grandfather, and my 4x great grandfather all served. My cousin served as well. My best friend joined in 99, and I joined in 03. My cousin and I are the only ones to have retired from the service.

Military Did any of your family or friends serve in the military?

@SGTWipper1Each #1 Port Hueneme, CA #2 Little Creek, VA #3 Gulfport, MS

Rank your duty stations from best to worst. What made #1 the best?

@RussoHockey @nytimes I am not going to be mad if he takes a payday. Disappointed, yes. But he's a good one. Happy we got to have him here.

@AllThingsCivil Considering that as a former CSEL, the number of senior officers (O5 and above) that I encountered who truly don't understand the SAPR/SHARP process, makes me think this guy should pay better attention rather than complaining on social media.

I have an endless supply of reply guys On Here. Mildly amusing. But if you’re a LTC in the USAR and you thought posting this during drill was witty or fun, do everyone a favor and get out. You add zero value.

@gmmcusn @SGTWipper1Each Counterpoint: Self identity has value, and strict conformance to standards has value. Otherwise we'd all have the same names and look the exact same. E Pluribus Unum, right? So there is *some* individuality. Not totally disagreeing, but there is nuance.

@SGTWipper1Each Conform, self identity has no place in the military. Team, unit, mission, there’s no room for identity.

Let's discuss. Should the military move more towards inclusion or should service-members be forced to conform?

No, no, go back..We saw that.

@JoelFeldmanPhD No. If you join for bene's, you're going to have a hard time.

Military The VA benefits alone are reason enough to join the military. 👍 or 👎?
