I haven’t used the term since retirement, but you and a couple of others have the “Napoleon syndrome” thing going on. The belief that you should be able to control others and things above your pay grade.
I'm by no means a hardcore jeeper. But I've had 3 Wrangler/Gladiators. A 1997, a 2016, and the 2021 gladiator. The 2016 has never shown any signs of DW. The 1997 did once. But it was the ball joints going bad. The 2016 has never had the kind of unstoppable resonance that I'd consider death wobble, but it a little less stable on rough roads than desired when we got it (used). It also turned out to be ball joints. My 2021 had death wobble in about November this year, but I'm sure it was my fault from when the spacer lift was installed. I went back through everything and torqued everything back down to spec, and it went away.
You have no idea what my pay grade is or was. Why do you not just go away into the good night saying nothing. You sold your Jeep, you bought another vehicle, and yet here you are running your mouth.
I think there's an assumption these days that if you don't go out of your way to mention your military service, then you must not have served.
I’m confused? I thought you same guys wanted the thread to die? And for everyone to quit talking in it?
...or owning a Tesla
Pretty much this. Throwing out your military service like it is a extra qualifier when the subject at hand has nothing to do with it is a bit cringe.
That’s another disingenuous comment and shameless dig at me.
As the OP, I can’t claim to be labeling this thread as entertainment. It’s more of a romanticizing the apocalypse effect for me.
My reply was not to you, but if you want to connect the dots that way, that is on you.
I served from 1967 to 1970 in the U.S. Army as a Combat Engineer [Pioneer] which is to my understanding now called [Sapper]. Yet, I do not go out of my way to speak of that period of my life and of the things that I saw and did... I am not going to forget it, even now in my mid 70's, I cannot unsee what I have seen, and undo what I have done. Anyone who ever sat on a bunk in Building 590 at OAB while waiting for a bus ride to Travis knows of what I speak. They also know of the return to OAB, those who did return, and how we were treated for serving our country at the airport, and in the towns and cities we returned to. I learned something else in the Army. It's the quiet ones you want to be aware of, because they probably have the most to say, and you are not going to want to be there when it's said.
Well, sounds like an odd event that could have been cleared up if you contacted them.
. If paying as much as you do meets your needs ??? good luck out there!As an investigator, you no doubt know that plenty of the so-called “quiet ones” have learned that behavioral trait, right? They even use it on the pathway to their disability claim with the VA. A lot of “I don’t want to talk about it, seen bad stuff,“ jive.
