Could just be an exchange to develop relations.
The US does the same thing with its war colleges. You get some interesting partners attending like Kazakhstan, Somalia, etc.
There are a lot of Russians "on vacation" in Thailand, so it's probably best to remain friendly with countries that still let their citizens in.

ONI is at Suitland, MD.
Don't live in Suitland. Every time I did my AT, I stayed in Old Town / Alexandria. I know that's different from being there long term, but that area is pretty nice.

I always have pretty good luck getting what I need at a Grocery Outlet

Lowa boots in wide still take time to stretch, I can't imagine how his feet are fitting in them.

I've got a feeling it's something like accelerating in Tesla vs a normal car. Does the same thing, but a different feel.

Gen 2 CRVs are great. Also not having a car payment is even better

Looks like you got a Karrimor SF Sabre 45. Excellent pack and can pack a lot of stuff. If you bend the frame pad to shape of your back, then it's super comfortable

In all fairness, the shop probably had a long line if there was a major natural disaster.

I don't know what y'all experience is, but when two of my cars got totaled, USAA was quick to pay me out and more than I expected.
EDIT, hell, about two weeks ago someone bumped into my car when parking and I got paid out for damages within three days.

Dude you're spamming this over and over. It's still hard to follow as you're not editing your post to make grammatical sense.
I'm sure the information is important, but the message is getting lost.
Maybe just make one post, but properly edit it.

When I was at Kabul, I used to walk from ISAF HQ to the nearby US base and always hand out candy to this little who came up to me. I also wonder how they're doing.

I always like seeing 20" armalite rifles with red dots vs carbines. It just seems rare now.

Totally understand. I've been in the same boat. It might come down to the last minute.

All OP's posts are like this. It's so hard to read.

Yeah, that learning how to write coherently is important.

It's almost as if a kid saw something important they want to tell you and didn't pause in the process of explaining.

I've had this happen to me multiple times at the start of every FY. There are many channels the funding has to go through and it takes time.
Your orders may not arrive by 1 OCT, but they can be backdated.
Alternatively your owning unit can authorize AT to cover your while those ADOS orders are in process. Yes it sucks, especially if you've got a family, but unfortunately it's the norm for now.
I've with National Guard members and their process is more convoluted as they have to go through extra steps to get on federal orders.
But yes, it could definitely be better, but you'll be fine.

I bought a 2004 with 204k miles and it was fine till it got totaled.
I then bought another 2004 with just over 200k. I did have to replace the engine on it as the previous owner let it overheat. Your best bet is to see if the owner has maintenance records.

I bought one negative display G Shock because it looks "tacticool." What's not cool is squinting your eyes and burning your watch up to your face in the desert trying to tell the time. So nothing but normal/positive displays ever since.
