I was stationed at Robins AFB and I can promise you filming that was the only positive thing to happen to anyone there over the course of them being stationed there. I cannot describe what an awful place it is; I was in combat comm so it was even worse. No mission, no purpose, no equipment, no guidance from leadership, but as much micromanagement as you can get. I kept my head down but everytime I hear a story about the place it involves suicide, infidelity, or international drug smuggling / dealing.

Cythereal posted:So, I am a civilian working at a small university in an office job. A new guy who just got hired for our department was here today doing all the HR and paperwork he needs before he officially starts next week, and we treated him to a coffee and donuts meet'n'greet with the department. It comes up that he's ex-Army, former enlisted. Was expecting the twist to be that he was the pissing corporal.

Almost threw a mouse through someones skull while wigging out before a vacation because the base security office needed me to sign a terrorism briefing for a trip to loving Japan; coworkers had done to scotch tape over my chip trick and I couldn't sign the bullshit piece of paper preventing me from vacation the Friday before I was leaving. Think they quickly realized I was not in the mood for it and told me what was up. Now I work by myself in a workshop with no windows and cipher locked doors that no one has access too. If I didn't need the CAC at the gate I'd hot glue that fucker into the keyboard.

stinkypete posted:I had to stop myself the other day when asking a new guy if he had a cable stretcher. He told me he didn't so I just told him who to talk to that would fix his problem. Getting old either sucks or gets better I guess. At my first base, months out of tech school, an RF Transmission guy came over to ask if we had a cable stretcher. I told him he we didn't, and I was pretty sure those didn't exist (outside of bicycle repair!) and that they were just loving with him on a snipe hunt. The sergeants in my shop lovely with me and told me to help look, or something like that, so I just sat in the back room of the shop with the tools for about ten minutes before returning, pretending to have looked everywhere. Then they had a good laugh at How Well They Got Me. That was among the reasons why Kunsan taught me to never ever trust anyone else in the military, and to always expect the worst from the people supposedly there to help me.

My IoT story is that I have an NFC chip injected into my hand and one time at a work party I had playfully flee from a twink as he tried to push code to my hand via his phone. That was somewhere between my second and fourth 40 so I may be misremembering.

Nystral posted:Ok but why do you have an NFC chip in your hand? Same reason I installed neodymium into my finger tips shortly after: why not?* *Well I mean it IS cool but also I had rapidly plummeting mental health while stationed in Warner-Robins and I think it was ultimately one of those "body mods as a way to assert control over ones body" type things. The neodymium comes in handy at work as a way to find out if things still have live power or not; I can feel the electromagnetic fields now! Got the chip installed at a tattoo parlor in near the base (terrible idea, I know). The tattoo artist was open carrying a pistol and kept practicing his quick draw in the mirror and was convinced the government would be able to track me despite me explaining that it A) only has what code I put on it and B) has a read/write range of a few centimeters.

Casimir Radon posted:So what happens if you need an MRI? After explaining some of this to the hand doctor at the VA (where they were treating me for rock climbing injuries which I guess they cover) she said, after the usual long pause and blank stare of bewilderment I usually get when talking to doctors, that the VA could take them out if I wanted or needed to. Might take the one out of my right hand cause it does get in the way, but, I spent like $110 on these and I don't want to waste my investment. Others with them installed have said the MRIs with them in either felt like really intense vibration but fine, or was extremely painful. My current plan is to simply not need an MRI.

bird food bathtub posted:MRIs are not always well planned out as in emergency situations the patient may not be conscious to give those kinds of details. Maybe they do a pre-screening X-ray that might catch it? I dunno, ER stuff happened after I was done with the patient. Then I won't be awake to feel what happens and its fine, or the pain wakes me up, which seems good in the context of being too unconscious to consent to an MRI.

`Nemesis posted:no, the closest you can get right now is a modern pacemaker. doctors can connect to them wirelessly, but they don't talk to the internet at all. as to how robust the security is for that connection may be a matter of concern, but probably not a realistic one for the average person. I remember learning about this from the first Watch Dogs; makes sense in a way because how do you push new firmware or making setting changes or get info from it without it? Surgery? gently caress watch dogs tho.

Shooting Blanks posted:What's wrong with Watch Dogs? I never played the first one but the second was fine, albeit very much an Ubisoft game. Bland game with the usual awful Ubisoft writing, entire mission arc in the middle that leads to nothing and kills pacing, unlikable scumbag protagonist who is both the source of all his own problems in the game and yet utterly convinced he is the victim, weird ableism around a dude putting an evil master villain cause his one leg got busted and now he needs a leg brace, general aura of racism, weird sex-trafficking plot that goes nowhere and becomes just another collectable, privacy invasion mission that just reveals everyone in the city is a monster and consistently has at least one foot in Dark and Edgy poo poo Man, main character very clearly used to be an estranged husband instead of a brother leading to weird poo poo with his son-nephew, uuuuuuuh bland gameplay whose hacking is just a general fancy use button, etc. Chip Cheezum has an excellent LP of the first game if you're curious.

If he has good enough ASVAB scores and can contract into a good nerd job in Comm and is dedicated to doing 4 years and getting the gently caress out, he could get out with associates and / or bachelors degree done, free training in a skill set desirable outside of the military, and the GI bill. Thats doing it all optimal and trying to wring all the wealth out of the service he can get. Thats more or less what I did (well, 5.5 years) and I'm a GS-11 with a very high chance of becoming a GS-12 soon. Granted, if its a teen thinking positively, optimistically, about JROTC and enlisting than the kid isn't going to do the optimal military speedrun and is instead going to end up a crew chief in Minot. I say coach him on how to rob the service for all he can and live like a king on the disability-UBI money.

I needed to get out of the military about half a year early in order to get over to Japan in time for the start of the school year so I could be an English teacher; did a ton of asking around and found out that there is just an option in one of the vMPF drop-down menus to request a change in contract or something. A little calendar appeared, I got to choose my new date of separation, and just got the commander to sign the paperwork and that was that. Fully completed contract, honorable discharge, and all that. Felt loving real good.GD_American posted:When I went to Basic Training... When I went through Keesler and the Comm school house there was a guy who had been there for like. . . . maybe two years-ish? Maybe more? He was under investigation for having child porn so he was trapped in purgatory forever. His new computer had 4 (maybe fix or six?) monitors. He had kendo swords that some of us hosed around with (and killed an exit sign with). Papercraft models all over the place. They had in working the front desk every single day since there was nothing else for him to do. My tech school was about 9~ months long and that felt like an eternity. My disgusting roommate from Alabama who never showered and spent all his money on chucky dolls, terrible tattoos, and a lovely muscle car gave up on trying to make it through tech school and just wanted to get out as quickly as possible. The separation process kept him there for well after the time he would been there if had just graduated. Its not like tech school is that hard.

Granted, I seem to remember multiple cases of comm airmen getting busted for CP either at Keesler or later at Shaw. Ya, it was the 338th. I was there starting from late 2009 to mid 2010 and I want to say his last name was something like "Faygen" or "Faegen"? Fun thing, I was trying to hunt down some information for one of my systems and ended up speaking with a systems manager who used to be one of my school house teachers! Introduced myself on the phone and he was like "Wait, [First Name] [Last Name]? Former enlisted? Went to school in 2009". Very tense moment for me as I assume no one has positive memories of me from those days (that may be paranoia, however)

Also almost every major organized church represented in the US has openly said "get jabbed."

Look my shop and the ATC guys just got "new" (to us) printers and we're on top of the loving world. Impressed the GS-13 by figuring out to repair printers once or twice but I was running out of tricks and their feeder-roller was so worn down you could see the width of the paper we used in the contrast. I need to use my CAC to do anything know but a semi-functional printer is better than none printer.
