    Yeah I was surprised to see it there. Apparently they do still exist in some areas. I've never seen one down here though, not since the 90s anyway

    Ours closed last year. It felt like I time travelled into 1992 with how beige and depressing it was last time I visited.

    Ours finally dried up and went away. There's the perfect empty husk of one in Lewiston, ID. Like I wanna break in and film inside cause it's pristine. Empty but setup outside and in exactly like it was still functional.

    The Kmart in Vernal has been empty since 2017 and the on in Logan is about the same I think.

    Hey now, in our experience they always ran unless they were blown up -





    This one did keep running, though it sounded funny -

    I remember going to Kmart with my mom as a kid and having to wait forever in the Layaway section for things that we had to pick up

    I love how our military has such fancy names for mundane jobs.

    It's either, they caught fire in an explosion, or nothing happened to them.

    I'm sure they are reinforced and all, its just crazy to see a tire that can withstand something like that vs the ones we have that explode when you hit a curb at 10mph (regular passenger tires)

    No shit.

    Even funnier when you hear someone use the title and really try to play it out; I let others do that and pretend I know nothing about the military.

    Had one kid claim he would be interrogating people, but is not supposed to talk about it...OPSEC and all.

    He was a damn linguist going to language school in a non-infantry MOS, with no chance of being attached and going outside the wire due to said MOS.

    Fucking tool.

    Is that before or after you put the field manual over the exhaust and floored it to get it to fire?

    Stock again- rip slug

    I'm not discouraged per say, but my MCAT for the med school apps expires this year. Took it in 2018, and will not take another 6 months @ 5 hours per day 5 days/ week to study for it again with paying for study materials as well. I wish ur sister the best! She will definitely make a great addition, seeing how good of a person you are. I have a feeling my time will come shortly, just making sure I work my way there.


    Man, I would love to live in an area like that. With Az getting more and more busy its been getting aggravating dealing with city life then driving 2 + hours to get to the mountains for me too. No reason to be unhappy though my dude, life is great. take time, do your research, and start making moves if that's what u desire.

    I've seemed to seen people with less cool MOS always try to play up their accomplishments. They just wish they were as cool as the guys that call themselves grunts and actually see some shit
