Are you going to pick up a new side job, or are you ok with living off the one? (Which would barely keep a mouse alive.)

Well seeing as how I like toys (my BMW S1000RR), I’m gonna need a side job.

I’ve accepted another job, but still have some time so we’ll see

 

[YankeeVol]

Well I was going to take leave this next weekend for 11 days.....DoD just squashed that

The Sergeant Major Of the Army just mocked my Vols lanyard. He’s a dirty bammer. Guess I’m headed to Leavenworth

This is your chance to start the A team!

@YankeeVol , how are y'all handling this? Are you "essential"? I'm only essential on as needed basis. AKA, anytime the big wigs want to push out a COVID19 message. I also haven't had a haircut in almost a month. This is glorious.

Hubs’ hair is growing out, and looks like we’re headed toward an Old Guy Ponytail unless he snaps and has me cut it.

I’m DIV Staff Duty, of course we are “essential” lol.

Just got a haircut yesterday.

That sucks. Honestly, trying to track everything at home via texts and e-mails is worse than just going to work, but the first two weeks of needing a haircut were annoying, but now it's gotten thick and long enough to not look like a disaster. All the barbers here were shut down. There's rumors we might be told to wear civilians full time if the hair gets too far out of regs.

Acquire a beard & mustache trimmer. Read manual. Mow head. Clean and store trimmer for next use. Done.

SMA told me I didn’t have to. Just gotta keep it clean around the ears. He’s also a filthy Bammer though, so f him

I've been mowing my head with my beard & mustache trimmer since 1994.

I’m sorry

Nah, man. It's good.

Travel ban extended to June 30. Will review every 15 days and will hopefully start allowing more liberal waivers as necessary and allowable.

My report date to recruiting school is now officially in limbo. Yay Army

What area are you trying to get to for recruiting?

 

[volfanbill]

What area are you trying to get to for recruiting?

I’m going to assume you meant where instead of what. I was DA Selected, so I don’t get to choose exactly where, but 3 different battalions come close to northeast Tennessee. Six of my ten picks will be those. I’d love to spend 3 years back home as close to Johnson City as possible.

Edit: I see now you wrote “What area”. This is why I shouldn’t play on VN while riding my bike trainer

If you can't get Tennessee, come to Georgia!

I wouldn’t want anything south of Atlanta, but who knows what will happen

 

[volfanbill]

If that fails, I’d like Texas just because I love the Texas country music scene

I loved our trip to Texas when my daughter graduated her basics. I'd love to go back.

Hope you get home.
