A. He doesnt have a Bike.

B. He's in Korea

actually it's just A. I'm in korea. cause tech I still own my ZZR... but it's in North Dakota.

but yeah... not much to do here in Korea when you don't have your own transportation and you have to deal with curfew... so many places I could have gone to if I could leave at like 4am (hour before curfew ends) or get back after midnight. or if they'd actually let me use my leave.

but it's cool... 20 days (give or take) and I'll be in AK!

[Cutty72]

damn... he came back.

[Mr Lefty]

I swear to god.... two years ago my laptop just said fuck you and took a shit on my desk. But 100G???? Damn I had only like 4.5!!! My shits backed up now...

[rogue]

At least he attempted. I lost about 15 gigs of music when my computer crashed in December. I had no backup. :( What really sucks is I was looking online at some external hard drives so I could back everything up when the computer crashed. :(

[Mr Lefty]

well my internet crapped out... all I was getting was local only... so I unplugged the Cat5 cable and plugged it into my laptop... boom... internet.

fuck'n weird thing was I didn't change anything... so I figured I'll restore to a point earlier that morning... it started then said back up was corrupt... so I went to one the day before... corrupt... tried 7 different restore points... all corrupt...

so then I said fuck it... I'll figure it out... but no. the restore had gone far enough to not allow windows to boot. YAY!

so back to out of the box specs it is...

at least my pics were all on my external hd... I'd be throw'n shit if they were gone

To make myself even more of a dumbass, I got a new computer, but I still haven't gotten an external hard drive yet. I've been working so much, I really haven't had time. I do go and look every once in a while, but I keep hoping I'll find a place with a good sale or closeout going on.

So, if anyone knows where one is at a really good price, PM me a link or something. I'd appreciate it! :D

I've been looking at some 1TB's on tigerdirect, but I'm not familiar enough with them to know which brands (besides WD and Seagate) are good. Plus, I need something that would be simple to use, like maybe just copy/paste. I don't know shit about backing up my computer. :idk: The only thing I care to back up is music, pictures, and maybe a few movies I have.

[Mr Lefty]

wd's external's the iBooks have backup software in them. I have a 320gig and a 250gig both wd

I don't see why Korea was a logical answer to my question. You should be out riding in Korea!!!! :rockwoot:

[Mr Lefty]

I don't see why Korea was a logical answer to my question. You should be out riding in Korea!!!! :rockwoot:

cause I'm not allowed to ride over here. per the ROK (Republic of Korea)

[Quick281]

racists bastards! Put a helmet on and act like you know what you are doing and you will be just fine. Should make for a great story, or the end of Ebbs.

[Mr Lefty]

no bike... and only 2 weeks left.... :wink:

[Quick281]

Truth indeed. Straight from Korea to cold motherfucking AK.

Although to be honest AK's high temp was higher than Atlanta's yesterday. Oh, and I got to ride through snow and sleet today. Nothing as serious as ThirdGen, but it was a unique experience. Damn this southern weather.

[Mr Lefty]

well the cold is only for a week while I pack up my gear... then driving down to mississippi.

[Gas Man]

Gas Man Jr here, congrats :D

I don't think so... still amatuer!!

no bike... and only 2 weeks left.... :wink:

2 weeks left? Then back to AK? Sorry I'm lacking behind on intel of what's what...

[Mr Lefty]

I don't think so... still amatuer!!



2 weeks left? Then back to AK? Sorry I'm lacking behind on intel of what's what...

yeah not on you're level... :lol:


I'll be heading back to AK for a week to just pack up my stuff and drive down. I leave here in two weeks... and will leave AK a week or so after that.

and back on 2 in 2 months...


why does it always seem I'm counting down to something on here :lol:

[Gas Man]

Cause you are... you are in a big fuckin hurry to get somewhere else then where you are at... what is wrong with you? :lol:

[Mr Lefty]

cause I'm in Iraq, or Kuwait, or Alaska, or Korea... :lol:

Yeah basically sucks no matter which was you slice it!!!

His post count must be from the old board. ParticleMan was our post whore. I think Zoomie was under him. I wasn't too far behind even though I joined a couple 2 or 3 years later. :D I've been slacking in posting the last few months.

[Mr Lefty]

yeah gas had something like 63000 posts at the old place...

[rogue]

Particle had something like that too & he joined at the end of '03, I think. :scratch: I joined at the beginning of '05 and had 25,000 plus. I haven't been there since I joined here & can't remember offhand. :idk:

[Gas Man]

Yeah that was ignorant. Back in the day before I owned a home, and had more responsibilities. Life can suck the fun out of everything if you let it.

Shit back then it was basically me, N4S, DJ, and Shan... we held down the entire board... having conversations with ourselves most of the time. Can't imagine what it would have been like on a board as active as this but still within reason of not stupid crazy. WOW.

Close. I was a bit shy of 40,000. A large chunk of that was from
before I was married (or even dating anyone for that matter) and before having a kid. Not as much time available anymore.

Dude, I was here for Katrina. I bought my bike in October of that year, two months after, and rode into New Orleans. Matter of fact there were a couple of neighborhoods I could thread my way into I couldn't with my car. He'll be fine.

Were not sure, thisng got weirder and wierder as the night wore on. I think chad and travis were there too and left rather early just as things started to spiral out of control. Worst part was we were supposed to spend the night there so I was drinking heavily, then jay and chris told me we were leaving so I followed them out of there. We were stopping for coffee and mtn dew every 30 minutes and then I was just too tired by the time we got to jersey so I pcaked it in.

OH HELL NO!
I already don't get paid enough for how much time I put in, I don't need anyone else taking up another jet and breaking it every damn time they fly. 60 hour weeks/ 40 hours of pay is not worth it.

still can't fly jets with lasik. the G forces in fighers will fuck up your eyes after the surgery.

Truth. They also don't pay for contacts. They pay for the checkup and glasses, but that be all for vision.
Cover everything for medical and dental though

my guess would be chopper or prop planes (ie C130)
Wouldn't contacts or lasik be a better long term investment for them? Glasses, I would think, could get in the way.

[Cutty72]

yes and no.

In Conus, contacts or lasik (if taken care of properly) is probably a better deal.
In country, they prefer glasses as they can be quickly removed when the gas mask is needed. Depending on the agent used, contacts can melt to your eyes, and lasik makes your eyes far more sensitive.
That's what I get from their reasoning anyway.

Interesting. Didn't know that.

[Cutty72]

that and if you have a perscription, there are inserts put into your mask.
If you have contacts in and put on your mask with the inserts, you are more blind than you started! :lol:

My next question was what happens when you take those glasses off and can't see shit. :lol:

[Cutty72]

My next question was what happens when you take those glasses off and can't see shit. :lol:

when the "gas" call is given here are the steps.

Close eyes and hold your breath.
remove glasses and kevlar/hat
put on/seal mask
replace kevlar, store hat and signal to other soldiers "gas"
Continue to get into MOPP gear if necessary.

Good work, douche. Why don't you do something a little more productive occasionally?
:aide:

Like what? I'm in korea :idk:
the AF is picking up the bill for this kid I work with to get Lasek(sp?) done.
I'll be having that done when I get to Mississippi... was gonna have it done in AK but with deployments and my orders to Korea... they wouldn't let me... (gotta be around for a 1 year checkup)
still can't fly jets with lasik. the G forces in fighers will fuck up your eyes after the surgery.

and in the army it's still not approved. You can get it on your own dime if you want, but that's it... so i'm holding out.

Uh... I find that hard to believe as our Pilots have first priority for the surgery

that and if you have a perscription, there are inserts put into your mask.
If you have contacts in and put on your mask with the inserts, you are more blind than you started! :lol:

have you tried the NEW masks? we have them in Korea... you no longer ware the inserts they go in the mask.... the thing that sucks is you HAVE to wear glasses so you have to find a place to put them when the new mask is on. the nice thing is the insert doesn't touch your face so it doesn't cause head aches and stays put.... also vision is MUCH better.

I wear my contacts every exercise.... the old masks never had a problem... the new ones have 100x the air flow over the eyes... so my contacts dry out... but as long as I blink frequently I'm good...

[marko138]

Holy Multi-post batman.

it's 552am... don't have to be at work till 7... just clean'n up a bit more for my room inspection at 10

tentatively on the 5th... but I'll know more today or tomorrow.

And room inspection is today? I'd totally jam up that room tomorrow and leave it for them.

[Mr Lefty]

naw... PRE inspection... they'll come in and tell me I have to paint the walls or some shit... so they do that a couple weeks in advance. my final inspection will be on like the 3rd or so

[Tmall]

Lasik scars your eye lid. The fear is that it can be knocked loose during combat situations due to the surrounding scar tissue being weaker or healed improperly.

Up here, they allow us to do it. We must use our own vacation time for healing up. If any complications arise, it is our own fault and the military is not responsible.

I don't know, any time I have asked about vision and flying jets, the answer has been the same. No Lasik

As for the masks... no. I've only tried the ONLY ONES we have. :lol:
the insert has never touched my face when I was wearing the mask either so :idk: But I can see how they could improve the vision... wouldn't take much.

Yeah, we can do it, just on our own dime, like you said.

That's why I wait. I think in the next 5 years the Army will pay for Lasik as well.

interesting... AFAIK the airforce is responsible for any issues that arrise because of a fucked up surgery. now if I don't take care of my eyes in the post op care then yeah I'm liable... but if scar tissue causes the problem... I'm not.

as far as you taking vacation time to heal... that's bs... (if your in the military... which I forget if your military or dod civilian) they offer convalescence leave... that CAN be rejected by your commander... but he would be royally fucked if you had issues and there was no real reason, ie mission or manning, for you not to take a couple days off.

the Military does both PRK and Lasik... and I know of several fighter pilots that have had it done... I don't know which one... as I was told by our Optometry tech (talked to him about eye surgery during the exercise last week) that they do both... depending on what the doc says is best for your eye... that's the surgery you get

Army is responsible for any issues that arise from a fucked up surgery that they covered.
If you do it on your own, it's all you.

[Mr Lefty]

ahh ok... why would you go elsewhere if the army pays for it and does it?

Tricare will not cover you to go get it done outside. but they will fly you to a base that does it... I did Air Evac in AK... flew people to Lackland, Travis, and Colorado Springs for eye surgery... for both AF and Army... even a couple Navy

no cause then they'll just put me on hold or call me back to fix it... they've done it twice in the last year for that reason

call Tricare... you fall under TriWest if I remember correctly... so it's 1800Triwest. or call your local base (doesn't have to be army since your NG) probably Grand Forks and talk to them...

I'll try to do some research this week... but I've got a lot of out processing to catch up on... so I won't promise anything

We're not "authorized" to do it. It's on our own time. We pay for it out of pocket. They have absolutely nothing to do with it.

We don't get sick leave for it. We probably could be granted special leave. But, you can get granted that for a family reunion if you try hard enough. :whistle:

Canadian Forces btw..

[Mr Lefty]

ahh forgot you're in Canada! my bad... yeah I know jack shit about you guys :lol:

that sucks btw... the not being authorized part... not the Canadian Forces part :lol:

I thought that corrective eye surgery was covered.

They cover lots of stuff, a buddy of mine just had some plastic surgury to get his ears to sit back because he looked like a furby. Plus they covered my visectomy.

Medical, it's all covered.
Dental, everything but cosmetic
Vision. Glasses only (from what I have found)

[Mr Lefty]

corrective surgery is coverd also at dod facilities

[Cutty72]

Ok. Ebbs you were right. IF i went to a mil hospital that did it, Tricare would cover it.
Colorado springs is currently the closest.
SO I have to go there for the surgery, and all the checkups for the first 2 weeks, and go back there if there is ever a fuck up with it.

lots o hassle.
Think i'll wait till I get back and see what's happening then.

but you forget THEY PAY FOR IT :P

so yeah you have to travel... but you get perdiem.

and I've YET to hear of anyone have'n it fuck up on them... :2cents:

[Cutty72]

but you forget THEY PAY FOR IT :P

so yeah you have to travel... but you get perdiem.

and I've YET to hear of anyone have'n it fuck up on them... :2cents:

yeah, i just don't want to take all that time screwing off right now.
That and the fact that i won't be in the states in a year, so the yearly checkup could be tricky.

[Mr Lefty]

yeah, i just don't want to take all that time screwing off right now.
That and the fact that i won't be in the states in a year, so the yearly checkup could be tricky.

you don't HAVE to go back to the hospital for the checkup... you do have to have checkups... but AFAIK you don't go back... I'll double check with our Optometry deptarment... but none of the people I sent for it while in AK had any follow up cair scheduled... they just saw our optometrists.

oh... and you don't have to go to Colorado Springs... if you wanted you could choose Keesler... and save your per diem and stay with me... I'll move furnature around so you'll trip over it... then go riding while you are stuck blinded :lol:

[Cutty72]

Colorado or mississippi... hmmm... If i'm getting paid to go, i'm thinkin CO gets the win, sorry bro.
and everywhere I've seen says you have to go in for all the check ups etc or else they will say you caused the fuck up if there is one....
who knows.

Further... do I really want to trust my eyesight to a military doc?

[Mr Lefty]

just talked to them... the FIRST checkup has to happen at the place you had the surgery. the others happen at your base... BUT YOUR BASE HAS TO AGREE to do the checkups prior to the surgery.

there's a checkup imediatly after... then two weeks, one months, two months, six months, one year... and that's it I think.

and as for trusting... them... I do... I'm gonna have it done when I get to Keesler. :idk:

to each their own... well worth it to me.


oh and yeah Colorado is much better than MS... but you'd save your Perdiem usually around $100 a day... by stay'n with me... and you'd have transportation... but up to you.

honestly, it's harder than you think... around the base the girls are all "jucy girls" the ones on base are... 17... :lol:

but yes... I guess if I was gonna smash their face in, looks don't really matter huh...

[Mr Lefty]

Jucy girls are the girls in the bar that hang on ya and try to get you to buy them drinks... your drink will be like 3000won (1us=1.30won)... theirs are like the strip club drinks in the us... tiny glasses full of ice for 10000won

the girls are usually human traffic... and are forced to work or harm will come to them or their families.


10. :panic:

they make sure to tell us as an US military member... it's still 18. some sort of agreement they have with the ROK (Republic of Korea)

[dReWpY]

how much is it for a drink over there?
is a 1.3 won equiivelnt to a penny ??

[Mr Lefty]

how much is it for a drink over there?
is a 1.3 won equiivelnt to a penny ??
1000 won is equal to $1... so it's 1.3 won is less than a penny... like 1/10th of a penny.


price depends... you talk'n about beer? I have no idea... don't drink the stuff... Dlit could tell ya...

Liquor... a decent sized redbull and vodka is about 4000won... a Pint of a drink they call White Dog, soju, some Japanese liquor, and sprite, is 7000won... but it's fuck'n huge... the catch is it's very DRY... so it makes you thirsty... and will fuck you up

[dReWpY]

Sounds pretty cheap.

[Mr Lefty]

yeah it is... the thing is soju sneeks up on ya... and it's un regulated so sometimes you can drink a bottle and not feel a thing... the next time two shots will put ya on the floor.

I stopped drink'n here though because a night of drink'n for me was about 70-100 on friday night... and I'd sleep till monday :lol:

[dReWpY]

so wait, you get drunk and time literally flies by, shit, i would be drunk as much as possible over there if i was you

[Mr Lefty]

so wait, you get drunk and time literally flies by, shit, i would be drunk as much as possible over there if i was you

yeah but money flys by even faster... and with the indy trip... and now my move from AK to Mississippi (where I have to pay first then get paid back) I need to save my money

[dReWpY]

ah, makes since, cant wait to have a random rider to make random trips with to random places to find random ass twisty roads

[Mr Lefty]

yup... I'm just hope'n they're pretty easy going when it comes to the leave policy... I've got tons saved up... 70 or so to be exact...

First, you forget the diff between Active Duty and AGR.
I would have to be put on DTS orders to recieve travel/per diem. Not going to happen for a voluntary surgery.
Second. I don't have a "base" I'm on TriCare Remote, meaning I use local civilian hospitals. Don't know if that would work or not. :idk:
And most places say you have to get a checkup every year or they won't be responsible for anything if you miss that checkup.
As for transpo, I'd get a rental. It's reimbursable :D

Lastly... HOLY SHIT where are you going to get $100/day in per diem!?!?!
The MOST I've ever gotten was $48/day. (Maybe because I already get BAS/BAH)

Anyway, it's something I'll have to figure when I get back.

well every AGR person I've dealt with went through the same process as the active duty... NOTHING was different. if you need different orders then yeah that would be out of my "view" of the situation.

Second you're base would be the base that refered you to the surgery site. if you don't have a base near you, you're considered Tricare Prime Remote. in that case you'd PROBABLY have to go to the nearest base, have the optometry department do the workup as the military requires different things than the civilian side does (even branch to branch it's different). OR you'll have to get your checkups at the local optometrist that you get your referral from.

as for transportation... you may not be allowed it. it's not always included on the orders... in fact... less than half of all the Aerovac's I did were authorized a rental... that everything not just the optical surgery cases.

Perdiem is higher in cities... Seattle(McChord AFB) is like $120... Colorado Springs (Air Force Academy) is like $110... Vacavile CA (Travis AFB) is like $110... I think San Antonio(Lackland AFB) is $100... Biloxi is probably less... but I'd guess it's over $70.


honestly not try'n to push it... just wanna make sure you really know what's involved... it's not as difficult as you seem to think...

Like I said... I did this for Army, Air Force, and a few Navy... Active, Guard, Reserve, and AGR.:dthumb:

It was $2.50 for a huge beer. I'd go out with $40 (they take American and give you back won for change) and come back utterly shitfaced and still have change to stuff my face with chicken on a stick or Miss Kim burgers.
