Limited AD Service Commitment Waiver by catfishtunain AirForce

[–]justarunner 1 point2 points ago

That's pretty much it. I have two years left in May but I applied for the waiver in early February for a 30 Sept separation date (still waiting AFPC!).

So yea, everyday you wait the queue feels up with more people and your chances of getting selected get lower.

"Guns Up Reddit !! I'm Coach Kliff Kingsbury AMA by KKTTUin CFB

[–]justarunner 0 points1 point ago

Would you consider scheduling AF? Y'all are 2-1 all time versus us and I really want it to be 2-2 all time.

Also, you're a great looking dude and my best friend has got to have the largest man crush on you (he's a TTU grad).

AF stops work on most force-shaping programs | Air Force Times by iluminadorin AirForce

[–]justarunner 4 points5 points ago

Gen Cox was one of my Comm's at USAFA. Dude is a good guy but he really should lose his job at this and his staff should burn with him.

Tens of thousands of airmen are in a super shitty situation due to the extreme incompetence of AFPC and their horrid mishandling of this entire situation. They wrote the textbook on how to do everything wrong at every possible avenue.

You couldn't script a way to handle this worse.

Dayton Weather... by captainpixystickin dayton

This winter has been so shitty and everytime it starts to get okay, winter is all,

What are the most iconic images of Dayton? by jerdagmain dayton

[–]justarunner 12 points13 points ago

I'm an out of towner, i'm not from dayton. I was born in SoCal, raised in Florida and schooled in Colorado. So i've only been here 2.5 years and i'm leaving in 4 months. But everytime i"m on a flight out of Dayton, I love the way the rivers wind through downtown. Dayton is a place that will represent a small portion of my life as I age, but I'll always hold it dear as it was the first place I really ever lived on my own. My first rental house, my first apartment, first dogs, first serious relationship, first real job, etc. Dayton is "home". So I guess an aerial view of Dayton is iconic to me.

It's nothing special, but I lived a portion of my life here and I like it.

Well guys, I guess it made international news. by Hootingerin dayton

[–]justarunner 16 points17 points ago

God damn it, Dayton.

Why can't we ever make the news for all the cool shit we have going for us.

"Dayton, Ohio has largest interconnected trail system in US"

"Dayton, Ohio, seriously, there's a lot of people going to universities around here and meeting educated, successful people is pretty easy"

"Dayton, Ohio, they're pouring a lot of money into the downtown and it's really starting to show"

"Dayton, Ohio, if you really want to marry someone in the Air Force"

"Dayton, Ohio, it sucks less than cleveland"

NOPE!, Instead we have werewolves sexually molesting and preying upon 14 year olds.


Looking for local products to sell at Webster Mini Mart by XLadyriderXin dayton

[–]justarunner 2 points3 points ago

Yep, it's been around like four years. I drink a little sailor jerry if it's around. In fact, that's my next lamp, it's my brother's favorite liquor and he's deployed right now. So i'm making him one with the handle of sailor jerry that a friend donated! :)


[–]justarunner 2 points3 points ago

Kraken is proof that any drink can be good if made right. I drink bourbon 98% of the time and don't really care for rum, but damn, Kraken is good.

The funny thing about that bottle too is I finished that one new years eve of 2012 and got more drunk than I ever had. I was straight taking swigs of it from the bottle. I was painfully drunk. Now she's a nice little lamp to remind me not to be an idiot.


[–]justarunner 2 points3 points ago

I make liquor bottle lamps. I've no idea how to market selling them lol. I've just empty bottles of liquor in my house I turn into lamps. So I was kind of excited about this thread til I saw he just wants food lol.

Here's an example

/r/CFB Milestone: @RedditCFB reaches 10,000 followers by Honestly_in CFB

[–]justarunner 13 points14 points ago

Jeeeebus. I remember when /r/cfb had just like 5-6k. Now we're way past 80k and the twitter has 10k.

I think that speaks so heavily of the mods. This subreddit is moderated infinitely better than any other sub on reddit imho.

If you could ban something from Reddit, what would it be? by T0pTomatoin AskReddit

[–]justarunner 11 points12 points ago

A few weeks ago a high school runner name Mary Cain who's also a pro and the top US female runner for her age did an AMA.

The downvotes were fucking insane. I asked a beyond sensible question as I love mary cain and have followed her progression over the past few years and my comment went like 20/15. So many good questions were downvoted so hard.

AMA is a cesspool for downvotes.

General Discussion 3/8/2014 by AlwaysInjuredin AdvancedRunning

[–]justarunner 1 point2 points ago

Very similar to you, bro. I'm also on the 85 mpw and raced a half 2 weeks back (gasparilla in tampa). I ultimately heavily modified the week of my half race.

Let me put it this way, you want to PR at Boston (as do I) but I also wanted to run a solid half. So I decided to take friday off and then run 3m easy on Saturday. So I went crazy easy the week of the half, but the following week I blew it up and ran 104m which was 20 over my previous high which was just like 3-4 weeks earlier.

So it's up to you. Just remember the big picture but also remember that one or two easy days leading up to a HUGE effort will not cost you at Boston. We get so wrapped up in our day to day workouts we forget that each individual workout doesn't make us fast or set us up for a PR, it's the workouts over weeks and months that set us up big.

If you want to hammer NYC, then factor that in to your friday run. Pfitz says in the books that you can get liberal with the workouts.

Best of luck, look forward to seeing you in hopkinton!

Training for a 10k by happiestgilmoreeverin AdvancedRunning

[–]justarunner 3 points4 points ago

I'm going to still the thunder here and ask a similar question.

I'm doing Boston and then IMFL in November. But after that, I plan to "retire" from long distance for a while and head to the 5k/10k while I'm still young and can benefit from speed work instead of endurance work.

I'm 24, I usually do 80 mile weeks and have peaked at 104 miles in a week. So when I'm done with IMFL in November, where do I find very solid 5k/10k training regimens. For marathoning i've been using Advanced Marathoning by Pete Pfitzinger. Is there an equivalent for the 10k and 5k?

I really feel that I need to get my 10k under 30 minutes by age 27-28 if I ever hope to run the 2:19 required for the marathon trials.

Thanks in advance everyone!

[–]justarunner 10 points11 points ago

Shorting is not popular because you're rooting against the vast majority of people who clearly don't want the price to fall. They usually view as something in poor taste.

Which is stupid because its a perfectly legitimate means of making money

But it's like playing Craps at the casino, no one likes it when you bet the Don't Pass Line. You're rooting against the shooter. Here you're rooting against everyone else.

But he doesn't deserve downvotes, it's a good question.

Senate blocks military sexual assault bill by [deleted]in Military

[–]justarunner 2 points3 points ago

The AF has a new line on EPRs for "what you've done to improve the climate in the work place"...

It's an insane overreaction. As if EPRs already didn't care at all about a members actual work performance the AF has once again shown members doing your job is irrelevant, volunteering, giving sarc briefings, and cleping a class a year makes you a good airmen.


In addition, go talk to any ADC. They'll tell you the AF attempts to prosecute cases that civilian courts wouldn't touch with a million mile pole. Always guilty til proven innocent with rape/sexual assaults and always prosecuting even when there is no strong evidence. Remember the high profile case with the 3 star in Italy over turning the conviction of the Lt Col. That was a huge shit show and civilians freaked the fuck out. But if you read the long response by the 3 star, he was perfectly right. The O-5 had been convicted on pretty much zero evidence, he was convicted because the culture is now playing makeup. There's a massive overreaction right now. It needs to stop.

Rape and sexual assault are disgusting but there are far better ways to curb these things than EPR bullets and undermining commander's authority.

[–]justarunner 0 points1 point ago

Warning, reading the comments on CNN may cause sudden decrease in IQ, patience, and calmness.

Fucking keyboard warriors claiming how this bill should have passed 100-0 while they sit at home not knowing shit about how the military works. This insane over reaction to sexual assaults has been insane. Glad a few congressmen made some good votes and glad it took both parties to defeat it.

Former WVU player Shawne Alston suing the NCAA and five major conferences over the value of athletic scholarships. by todd6739in CFB

That was me, the thread was downvoted and no longer showing up. No idea who downvoted it and or why they did that. People are silly.

This is one of the greatest races in history. I could watch it endlessly. by justarunnerin AdvancedRunning

[–]justarunner[S] 2 points3 points ago

Symmonds and Solomon's efforts were in my original title but reddit wanted to tell me this was a repost. So when I had to resubmit it I forgot to add it.

Their efforts in that final few hundred is monstrous. Symmonds looks so out of place for 600 meters and then just really shows the world why he is World Class.

VSP and TERA delayed. by SergeantBogeyin AirForce

[–]justarunner 0 points1 point ago

You're exactly where i'm at and your application is on hold.

My application got to AFPC on Feb 7th. They dicked something up on 14 feb and told me my application was on hold til 21 feb until I fixed something. I fixed it in 20 minutes and my application was updated but 21 feb came and went. They then updated my case to say "follow by 3 Mar". Yesterday came and went and nothing happened.

Then today's email. I'm a 3 year officer and so I thought maybe VS applications without pay were still moving. I asked and was informed they were stopped also.

Such fucking bullshit. This is also my second application because they incorrectly rejected my first one. Fucking incompetent asshats.

I don't even give a shit if they keep me or let me go anymore, just fucking tell me, being in limbo is stressful cause you have to play two games, the AF game and the i'm separating game.

But my new assignment drops in 13 days, if I like the location i'm just going to pull back my separation application and stick around one more assignment.

Pinning of other dog. by tacoking92in Newfoundlander

[–]justarunner 1 point2 points ago

My newf terrorizes my pit. She constantly bites his neck (has broken skin a handful of times), drags him, pins him on the ground by sitting on him, chasing him, etc.

I don't stop it though because the pit tends to instigate it by nipping her legs. And he used to terrorize her when she was a pup. 115lbs later the tides have turned lol.

It's a riot to watch.

Best of luck with resolving your issue.

How the past couple months have felt... by howard_m00nin AirForce

[–]justarunner 0 points1 point ago

Yep, LADSC. If you're eligible in the matrix you should be eligible in the PSDM.

When I first applied I was eligible in the matrix but not the PSDM. That doesn't make any god damn sense does it? So I emailed them and told them it didn't, 48 hours later the PSDM was revised and I was suddenly "eligible". They're beyond fucking incompetent down there.

Get on the AFPC chat and ask around. You're probably fucking eligible and they're just too stupid to know it. This has been a seriously huge fuck up on there part. If you want out, ask around, don't sit back.

Super ninja edit: Flair up, bro. What AFSC are you?
