Didn't catch the debate... any highlights I should know about?

Well frankly not much which is sad. They all pretty say the same usual republican talking points. I used to be a ron paul guy but he's not practical anymore.

When discussing jobs and manufacturing no one brought up one of the constitutions most important weapons of trade. The tariff, now before I get my head ripped off lets go over the rules here if China continues to devalue it's currency and flood the market with cheap goods than we aren't going to be able to reindustrialize.

Also, didn't hear anything about guns. Many R's are softening up lately it seems on gun freedoms.

Currently fixing trucks via phone I love my job...

Lol woke up to a phone call today.... "Mason I'm taking the Jeep to Moab on Monday and have no armor for it, can you build me some? I have cash." Then while I'm working on that Jeep I get a text "Hey so I replaced the battery in my Jeep (different Jeep) and now it won't work... it starts up but won't stay running." Fixed that over the phone. Then on the way home "Mason I found an F150 on craigslist can you come look at it with me and tell me if its good?"

Meanwhile I can't get a hold of either of my buddies that have 220 gas MIGs so I can fix my own damn truck [Bang]. And after I get my truck drivable I still need to go do a bunch of work on a forum member's Mercedes.
Almost feels like I'm back working in a shop, except I'm still broke.

Shit, I wish my phone could do that. [Coffee]
I gotta use all these expensive tools.

[ROFL1]
I actually saw an OBDII full diagnostics app for the iPhone a while back where you buy the app and then order a cable from the company that made the app that has an OBDII plug on one end and an iPhone one on the other. Dunno how well it works but it was only like $60 total, which ain't bad compared to a real scanner.

It was quite fun on the phone with the guy surfing the interwebs but because I am tethering with an app I can not get on https sites on the computer have to use the phone's browser to log into the cummins website all at the same time it handled it like a champ battery got kinda toasty though.

And Mason I feel your pain... hey can you find me a 4.3 vortec hey my cv axle is making noise etc it is magical.

Btw not very impressed with any of the candidates in tonight's debate.
The debates are almost meaningless. The only way to judge politicians is by their past. You look at past votes, or bills they pushed or signed or where they worked, in other words their actions. The only way I listen to what they say is to compare what they say today with what they said in the past. Politicians will say anything to get elected and only rarely actually say anything direct. Some are better than others but the best way is to look at their past. Nowadays with the internet it's a lot easier to check on people.

Gotta love diagnosing crap over the phone...
"I can't find this squeaking noise, think you can help?"
"What kind of noise is it?"
"I just said it's a squeaking noise"
"[facepalm] Is it a metal rubbing on metal squeak or a rubber squeak? Is is rubbing back and forth or is it rotating? If its rubbing does it get worse when the suspension compresses, when you turn, or during any other time? If its rotating does it get faster with engine speed or with vehicle speed? Any other details?"
"Uh..... maybe you should just come look at it"

I had this tard that I had to be nice to... ex's best friend's brother (if I treat him like a tard, he whines to sister who bitches to girlfriend who gets mad at me and then no sex for a week). Anyway, kid was a tard. Always called me to help with his Jeep that he was intent on building into a rockcrawler, that drove well on the street, and got awesome gas mileage, and rode comfy, and all this other impractical conflicting crap. Got a phone call like that one day, went over to check it out, his brake pads had just barely hit the low pad indicators and started squeaking. Told him it was his muffler bearing, and that it was a pain in the ass to fix and I didn't have time for it, then gave him directions to my buddy's shop. My buddy called me later and asked why the fawk some tard was there saying "Mason sent me here, told me you could replace my muffler bearing" [ROFL3]

And yeah, they get to the point quickly and you can usually get er fixed pretty quick, get paid an hour's worth for 20 min of work.... I love working flat rate.

I tried to purchase a lower today and my background check was denied because my license was not valid?? And to send person to the dmv

I had a thread about my court shenanigains but everything worked out I thought. Sitting at the dmv right now to see what is up. How long does it take for evrything to get updated? I was issued my license on the 22 of march and court for the tickets was on the 9th of may.

Well because I renewed the same day I paid the reinstatement it did not register in The system right have to go back tomorrow with all my proof of payment

Frieghtliners have muffler bearings straight up and there is now exhaust fluid. Only thing I got left like that is blinker fluid. Flat rate is feast or famine in my exp. I am hourly right now some weeks I loose money some I make money. On these new engines that came out last year I am thankful I am hourly I had 26 logged hours into a truck that would have paid me less than 4 last week stupid warranty jobs

Ok I know about the BS exhaust fluid in the newer trucks but seriously... actual muffler bearings? WTF? Please elaborate lol.
Yeah that is the downside to flat rate, when the job takes longer than the pay. I've had a few like that but for the most part stuff goes pretty fast. Then again I've always worked on passenger vehicles, nothing bigger than a 1 ton... I imagine you see some different stuff in your field. BTW, you guys wouldn't happen to be hiring eh?

Trying to lose some weight.....

I've always found that what you put into your body and when doesn't have as much of an effect on your weight/health as how you use those calories. You could probably afford to eat an entire chocolate cake a day (with the rest of your diet being reasonably healthy/normal), and as long as you go work out and burn more calories than you take in you'll see results.

Hey guy have you tried crossfit? Anybody on here do that? I fucking love it! That and diet I've lost about 40 pounds and 25 to go.

There are a variety of websites that provide daily WOD's. Try crossfit.com or sealfit.com. You might not have all the equipment but you can do most of it without.

What line of work are you looking for?

Eh, if I'm working out on my own I prefer to just do my own thing. I've had enough experience with highschool sports, personal training/nutrition (trainer not trainee), and Army PT that I can put together my own workout that kicks my ass more and is more effective than any structured workout program I've seen (including crap like P90X and Insanity). Its not that I can't stay self-motivated, its just easier to push myself that much harder when in a group where you just let your body go into robot mode and go through the motions while your mind drifts cause you don't need to think about "ok what do I want to do now."

Honestly, at this point I'll do just bout anything that pays. I just need something to put fuel in the truck and food on the table till I ship out in November. Ideally I'd like to find a ranch, horse boarder, something along those lines where I can be given a list of things that need done and then just get turned loose to do em, put in a good hard day's work from sun up to sun down. I wouldn't mind working in a shop again as its only temporary, I'm ASE certified, have diesel experience, lots of professional and outside of work experience with welding/fabrication/design with vehicles and random stuff. If it has an engine and/or wheels, I can fix it lol.
But really, if a place will train me in whatever they want me to do, I'll do it.

06-14-2011, 08:20

Navy EOD is the best EOD out of the DD. If that is what you want to do I would go Navy. Infantry doesn't have a big after the Corps skill set. But I will tell you that the Infantry has a lot of fun.

It was Patrick.. but he has since used the 'work' excuse to stop coming :)

No the schedule changed for the summer (already sucks doing xfit when it's 80 out... not looking forward to 90s+) So it limited pat's avail to come in...

The classes kick my ass every time, and yes you can get the daily workout online, and you can do it at home... but I can never stick to doing anything solo.. I need that shit talking to stay motivated. I ate like poo over the weekend and I felt it in class yesterday... bleh.. no powah!

Yeah dunno about that. I assume you could find one around $150.

And yeah... we hit the gas station right next to DenCol's fastener dept., the one on the north end of the warehouses... we pull up in the Jeep, and almost every other vehicle there is slammed or even dumber is lifted via ghettofab to fit the stupid-big chrome painted wheels. My buddies stay in the Jeep, I walk in to the gas station to piss and its like one of those old western movies... I walk through the door with my cowboy hat, boots, buckle, a big dip in, and everybody in there just kinda stops what they're doing and looks over at me with a cross between "the look" and "WTF?!" Of course they all have their pants halfway down their ass, shirts 5x too big, flatbill caps, gold jewelry and enormous flashy fake watches. It was all I could do to keep from cracking up.

Yeah, I figured .357mag would do the trick. I really need to get another 1911 though. If I sell my truck before my buddy deploys on the 22nd, I'm getting his Springfield MilSpec with a bunch of custom work and that'll probably see most of the carry duty. It'd be nice cause it'll work better with this OSS holster thing.

Gimme a min to get motivated to get up and take pics.

Basically you tie a piece of string (I used paracord) in a loop, then tie the loop around your belt by wrapping it around and pulling one end of the loop through the other like you would tie a rubber band. You want the part of the loop now sticking out to be on top. Then position it where you want to carry (I had my .357 at the 1 o'clock position to be more comfortable in the racing seats in my buddies Jeep) and put the gun through the loop. It sounds pretty ghetto, that was my first thought too, but it makes sense given its history.
I put some history about it in the thread.... http://www.co-ar15.com/forums/showthread.php?t=41208

I'm using too much brain power explaining this. I'll just go take pics.

I don't shoot it regularly, hardly ever really, and I don't own anything that shoots it, but from what I've seen about ballistics, gel tests, etc. and the availability of milsurp ammo I think it'd be a great round for SHTF.

I say go for it. I'd do the same if I had the funds (and already had some of the other guns I want more lol).

Ok pics as promised. About as KISS as you can get. I was a little skeptical about how well it would work but I was pretty impressed. I figured it would just fall out but if your pants fit like they should and your belt does its job it holds the gun pretty securely. I loosened my belt a bit for the pics cause it was easier.

Paracord loop (reused from something else, and shows it, planning on picking up some new cord).

Tie it around your belt like this. Don't know WTF happened to the pic but you get the idea... index and middle finger are the belt and my thumb is the gun.
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/3302/img1909yu.jpg

Holds the gun like this. My thumb is just holding the left side of the handle from tipping cause of the center of gravity, the gun is completely supported by the loop and is actually pretty secured in there although it doesn't look like it... I imagine different guns might hold a little better or worse depending on the design.
http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/5717/img1910qg.jpg

Another nice thing about it is that you can adjust it to not only whatever gun you've got (duh), but you can fine tune where you want the gun to sit... higher up for easy accessibility, make it longer for "deep cover."

http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/1381/img1914is.jpg

And if you need to ditch your gun quick (what this is really intended for) you can and you don't have a holster to worry about on top of it. Because of how its tied on the belt you can just pull on the top when there's no gun there and it just pulls off. More practically for most of us though, if we happen to not have our gun on us (have to leave it in your vehicle or whatever) the holster stays well out of the way... I haven't taken the holster off since this morning and honestly I forgot it was there.

Also, for those of you white collar guys in NPE offices, set up to carry "deep cover" with black paracord (nice cord tied up neatly, unlike mine) over a black belt on black pants.... damn near unnoticeable and definitely unrecognizable.

It's pretty obnoxious really. We have a variety of guys but a few of them are glock only, ninja throwing star warriors. They are always ready for an invasion. They all think their going to be SEALS. Funny thing is they are always not here when stuff actually happens. Like three weeks ago a gang banger was in a shoot out a few houses away from my work. Get's shot carrying his Hi-point and comes on the facility. I wasn't looking for trouble so no reason to get shot. He left. They were extremely sad they weren't able to be in the "shit."

mcantar18c

06-15-2011, 03:24

Lol sounds like they'd be fun to fawk with, be pretty easy to get em goin if you made up a story and got a few of your coworkers in on it about some crazy chit going down and you guys jumping into action and saving the day. If I worked from 12-8, I'd probably spend the entire time thinking of ways to fawk with them. I take it that time range is generally pretty quiet? (other than the occasional gang banger getting shot, of course).

Degree isn't completely useless... it can bump you up a paygrade (you could ship as an E4), at least in the Army anyway. SWCC would be fun for what it is. EOD ain't all its cracked up to be... might be different for the Navy, but I have 3 buddies in Army EOD, all went through training at different times and are stationed in different places, and they all say that it isn't anything like they expected, and although they love being there they all wish they had picked a different MOS. If you want to go spec ops, I'd suggest Army. Sure, Marines sound cool and all, but you'll have an easier time getting to Army SF. Don't read that as Army SF is easier; its not. Its just easier to get a seat at the table and get the opportunity to go to training and selection with the Army than the Marines. I've heard its damn near impossible to even get a spot in training for MARSOC. If you can max a PT test and got good scores on your ASVAB, you'll pretty much be able to get a shot at getting to selection if you let them know you want it.

flan7211

06-15-2011, 04:08

I suppose for some reason or another I haven't considered Army much. A lot of family and friends were army. Kinda wanted to branch out on my own. I hear you though. I also heard army EOD sucks. Navy is the way to go from what I hear in that community.

mcantar18c

06-15-2011, 04:22

Yeah I get what ya mean. The thing about the Army though is that there's so much to do, you can branch out and do something different within the Army itself. Go talk to a few different Navy recruiters about EOD and whatever else you're interested in, and then go talk to some Army recruiters (I can give you contact info for some pretty good ones that won't bullshit you) and see what you think. But yeah after doing the normal stuff you'd do to bump up to an E3 before you ship, with a college degree... I think the actual requirement is 30 credits completed... it automatically bumps you up one more to an E4, which as far as I know is the only way to ship as an E4. Doing that, you'd outrank almost every recruit in your class, if not all of them.
Ok, I'm off to bed. Hope the rest of your shift goes uneventful (being bored is better than being on either end of an altercation with an asshat wannabe gangbanger).

Sure thing, I'll send em to ya first thing in the AM. Thursdays we all have to go to the station and do PT from 4-5, if you can make it there around then you should (give you an idea of how they work from watching us and also lets you talk to the other recruiters in a little more privacy).

Just saw you're in Greeley... don't think you'll make it down to the station lol. I don't know anybody in Greeley but the hands down best recruiter I know is up in Boulder if that's a little more convenient for ya, he was my recruiter way back when and now he's a station commander at the Boulder station. I'll have to look around for his number though, been a little while since I talked to him.

The good recruiters don't give a shit if you join or not and won't try to convince you or bullshit you into it, but if you come to them and show them that you want in and are motivated, they'll do everything they can to help you out. The one in Boulder will bend over backwards if you show him you truly want to join, but will just the same tell you to fuck off if you're unmotivated, or lie to him, or anything.

Most the recruiters here in NY dont care-there short so it dont mean squat to them
After i got off active duty and went reserves i pulled some duty with the local reserve recruiter and he was an ass to say the least!!
I was an E6 and he was a 7 so i kept my mouth shut
Its a wonder the reserve units ever got any good troops,seems like they rely on guys getting out of active duty to fill up the slots

The guys that I told you about in the PM... Miller and Emberly mainly... won't give you any BS. Like I said, it makes no difference to them whether you join or not, they see themselves as a way for you to enter the military if you so desire, not as a salesman trying to "sell" enlistment to you like most seem to. Best thing you can do is go with somebody that's been there done that, active or ex military. I'd go with ya if you were closer (or if you came down here)... I'm no expert but I've been hanging around the stations since middle school and have learned what's BS and what's not.

Lol yeah I do it on a regular basis but usually its only when my dog tells me something's up, and then its usually a coyote outside... this time its just me being paranoid.

Hmm.... well with Emberley, its best to just tell him everything up front and he'll tell you what you shouldn't reveal at MEPS, not sure about the others though. I'd say that if you can survive fine without the meds, there's no need to bring it up.
Being in the military is easy... its getting in that's difficult. Once you're in you can get back on the meds, so if you can survive training without your meds with no issues I think that'd be the best way to go.

My contract is 11X, OPT 4/40... Infantry with Airborne and Ranger school.
Rangers is actually my secondary/fallback... I'm hoping to get pulled by SF after OSUT. Gonna be tough but my buddy was just through and was pulled by 10th Group, so I know what it takes and what they look for and can prepare for it before hand. But if they don't, well Rangers wouldn't be all that bad and after RASP I'll have another shot at SF.
What MOS are you looking at?

flan7211

06-22-2011, 04:49

Either 11B or 19D. I know Cav scout is a POG job but it looks pretty kick ass to me. You PTing like crazy? I'm doing crossfit twice a damn day.

I suppose I'd better get back to work[LOL]. Talk to ya'll later.

mcantar18c

06-22-2011, 05:09

11B's gonna be tough to get, there aren't many (or any, last I checked) 11X slots in the system. Only chance of getting one is if, when you sit down with the career counselor (guy that actually gives you your contract at MEPS) and you guys get on his computer, one happens to pop up (somebody loses their 11X contract, like if they break a foot and can't ship). Its not impossible, hell two 11Xs popped up when I was there (one was snagged literally within seconds and I grabbed the other one), but its not something you can count on 100% and because there aren't any slots open your recruiter won't be able to reserve one for you in the system, which just means you have to reserve a different MOS at the recruiting station and then when you get to that part of MEPS just tell the counselor what you want. Don't really know anything about 19D, never looked into it, but it was on the "I'll look at it if I can't get choice A, B, or C" list (which I got very close to... was signing the paperwork for choice C when that 11X popped up), looks like a fun MOS.
And yeah with no school or job, just waiting to ship, my main purpose in life right now is PT lol. Been doing a lot of ruck marching lately at the recommendation of my buddy that just went through RASP and was pulled by 10th Group. Other than the marches I've been doing a pretty intense workout that an ex Airborne/Ranger/SF guy gave me and just random routines mixed in on random days to spice it up. Check out the Fitness/Combatives section on the Warrior Talk forum for workout ideas.

you could have a muscle cold. My doctor said that when you can't turn your neck or your jaw feels off kilter your muscles can actually be having a type of cold where muscle power is greatly reduced.

That and the word recognition test after the ASVAB is a major bitch... flash a string of letters for .5 sec, pick string of letters out of multiple choice within 1 sec before it disappears, string of letters flash for .001 sec, pick correct answer within .X sec... you'll do well if you get even 50% right. I've got a very visual memory and I'm good at crap like that and I don't think I did very well on it... they don't show you the score afterwards. There are ones that disappear before you can even move the mouse to select your answer, its dumb.

Well there's a tool for it, but lacking one of those I've used a knife/screwdriver and a hammer/heavy object. Puncture the edge and then once the tip of the knife or screwdriver is in use the hammer to hit it sideways along the edge all the way around.

SOG knives are the shit. I carry a cold steel but I also like my SOG. Yeah Gerber used to kick ass but just like bushmaster, springfield, and many other companies they had a great name and cheapened everything they could.
I'm actually not a huge fan of SOG's knives. They do make some damn fine blades, but all of their folders just feel too light to me. The Trident was great for ranch work though cause I could cut hay bales without having to open it. My knife is first and foremost a tool, but it is a weapon as well if it needs to be, and if I ever need to use it as such a little weight would help carry the momentum of stabbing and slashing, not to mention punching with the extra weight in my fist.
I carry a CRKT M16-14SFG, its my second one (loaned the first to a "friend" and never saw it again) and its held up to all I've put it through, shows the abuse but no major damage. My one complaint is that it dulls quickly, but its easy to sharpen.
SOG's fixed blades are great, but I see no need to buy another one when a Ka-Bar can be had for less.

Those cold steel, last time I checked 'em they felt pretty cheap...
+1
I see people praising them left and right but all the ones I've had/played with have all felt like cheapo Wallyworld products. Same with Kershaw.

Just got home. Took a girl shooting today for her first time, which led to going back to her place for dinner and... dessert, which took a while.
She did pretty good, started her off on .25ACP and she was shooting the .44mag like a champ by the time we were done. Didn't much like .223 (too easy) or .30-30 (too heavy) though. Biggest trouble we had was getting the correct stance down and "making the top thingys line up right" with the long guns (couldn't get a good sight picture at first).

And yeah I'm down in Centennial, she's up in Loveland off I25/Campion, and that was the closest spot I could find to take her after picking em up. I have a feeling I'm gonna be spending a lot of money on fuel in the near future...

Exactly. And I go through a can a day or so so I'm sure it'll come in handy. And the best part is that she doesn't like what I usually chew (Copenhagen Straight) but I like what she chews (Copenhagen Long), so I have a reserve can when I need it but my can is all mine.
When I approached her the other night I kinda thought she might be one of those barbie doll types that only breaks out the boots to look a little country when she goes out, like most of the girls at the place I usually hang out at. Then I saw she had a dip in and was... lets call it pleasantly surprised lol.

But no... Copenhagen is the only way. At least with Straight, there's Copenhagen Straight and Cope Straight. Copenhagen Straight is already almost too sweet for me, Cope Straight is disgustingly sweet.
If I could find something that's not as sweet as Copenhagen Straight, but a little bit sweeter than Copenhagen Long Cut, I'd be extremely happy.

Now the bad news... my buddy is obviously my buddy, and one of the other guys seems chill, but my supervisor is a tool and the other manager is a douche, and everybody else that works there is an annoying whiney female or a bitchy girly wannabe guy that ain't earned his man card, and it seems like the place is full of drama and gossip. At least now I have a source of income and can find somewhere I won't hate working... or if I don't, I only have to put up with this for 4 months till I ship out.

I'm ashamed to even say that.

Oh well, do what ya gotta do. There's this place in Allenspark that wanted to hire me a month ago but an equally qualified guy had come in the day before and out of fairness he had the first shot, and got it. Just came across a post on CL from the gal running it, apparently they're looking for 1-2 wranglers now. I'm gonna give em a call tomorrow, but the post is about 10 days old or so, so we'll see. I'd LOVE to work there... only pays $500 a month, but that's on top of a cozy little cabin with everything including food paid for, and its work I love doing (guide for trail rides and hunting/fishing/camping trips, and of course caring for all the horses). I'm praying she ain't found anybody yet.

mcantar18c

07-29-2011, 01:26

Also, this theater is a no carry zone. Not sure if its actually a "Gun Free" zone, but the employee handbook says no weapons allowed (first thing I checked lol).

No Weapons
No weapons are allowed on company premises. Weapons include firearms, knives, brass knuckles, martial arts equipment, clubs or bats, and explosives. Any employee found with a weapon in the workplace will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.
Oh the size of the bricks they'd shit if they only knew... [Flower]

On another note... is it "theater" or "theatre?"
