Hey, everybody! Its been a loooong time since I've been on the ODT. BCT was a cinch, and I'm now living in sunny California at the Presidio of Monterey attending Korean language course for the next 60+ weeks. Time has been scarce, and the classes here run at an INSANE pace (the basic goal is to...
The articles I've read indicate that the guy with the pajama pants was "supposedly" wearing them below his butt and was revealing his butt crack (which is considered a "private part" and falls under US Airway's only rule regarding attire). They asked him several times to pull them up and he...
The only war we're fighting without congressional approval is the war in Libya.
In which case, we have no troops on the ground that are eligible for hazard pay.
Otherwise, as jlcnuke stated, not all deployed troops receive hazard pay - only the one's deployed to designated combat zones...
Yes they hire out of the same pool of people. But the answer is two-fold:
1. They are (generally) much more selective of the people they hire. My brother-in-law worked there for his first job when he was 16. He had to provide 3 character references - and, yes, the manager called and...
Ha....I posted a similar thread once. Any minute now, you'll start seeing all the posts from the "I can do whatever I want because I'm a cop" members. The ones who will say "You never know what was going on. He may have been responding to a call and then, purely by coincidence, he got called off...
$3,000! Great deal on the boat!
My dad bought a boat when I was in my early teens. I gotta say, even though our boat wasn't the latest and greatest, my fondest memories of my dad all happened on that boat. Some of my greatest memories growing up, and I'll cherish them forever. My wife doesn't...
Awesome story!
After Bank of America tries to foreclose on a house that was paid off, the judge ordered them to pay the family's legal costs. When Bank of America failed to pay the court-ordered costs for 5 months, the family's lawyers had the local Sheriff pad-lock the BoA location and seize...
If yours is a nice truck, I would've gotten out and surveyed the damage and possibly filed a claim against them. I don't take no **** from nobody. If she banged the door 3 times, then got out and had everyone look at how close you were to the line, it seems to me that she did it on purpose.
If...
THIS!!!
I don't see any reason why a police officer or firefighter should have to risk their life to save someone who is intent on killing himself. If they'd pulled him out, he would've just found another way to kill himself.
And for those who say that the officer or firefighter wouldn't have...
He should've just let the little bastard bleed out on the floor. If he'd died with just the one bullet wound, it would've been over and done. He would've almost certainly died anyway - why go back and shoot him 5 more times? Too bad the "good guy" had to be an idiot and "overkill" the rat...
When I was working in home renovation for the past 6 years (prior to the business shutting down this past November), we ALWAYS used 3 1/2" screws when we replaced an exterior door. We used them to replace two screws per hinge, as well as replacing the screws for the handle strike plate and the...
