So I ran out of snus a few days ago.

[Skimo]

Let me tell you, I was ticked, I had a tin go missing and it messed up my cycle

anyhow after smoking 15 dollars of cigs in a few days ( I HATE CIGARETTES!!!!) my order of snus came in half a day early and saved me from spending another $5 on a cheapo pack of nasty ass cigs.

right now I'm relishing some general dry mini mints to wash the smoke taste out of my mouth.

I can't wait to try out the phantom (now rothbrix) classic blue, if it tastes how the packaging smells I think I'll really like it.

my bonus can is general loose, I was hoping for some roda or some rape.

General los is awesome! I love all varieties! I've got some RL in the freezer. PM me if u wanna do a swap! 8)

[Skimo]

I would, but I'm a broke ass right now, damn shipping prices :evil:

[Badfish74]

Trust me I know how that feels! And military don't pay shit! When I was in an E-3's base pay was $1140 and I think I got like $150 extra for jump status! Frikkin peanuts! Especially for serving your country! :twisted:

that phantom blue is some tasty stuff. when i first tried it i didn't like it, but by the time the tin of portions was gone i missed it. got some los on my last order and have a pris of it in me mouth right now. yumma dumma.

edit - this is a weird posting day badfish. on a couple of posts, when i submit it turns out that you posted right before i did. :shock: *twilight zone music*

[Skimo]

meh, it's still got a bit of the windex aroma, not displeasing, I'm using the general I got, classic snus goodness. I made a few portions out of it this evening for tomorrow when I'll be out and about again, I've got shallow gums so I always end up with snus in my teeth. ops:

skimo, how do you make portions out of los? :?:

[tom502]

Why did you buy ciggs? I'd think a snuser, if they ran out of Swedish snus, would get some Camel snus before he'd get ciggs.

I can vouch for badfish on that pay is not that great for the job you do but hey someones gotta do it. the best thing is when your deployed because you save money you would other wise use else where. you still serving bad or you got out?

[tom502]

When I was in, I was paid $600 a month. I remember we had a vending machine with ciggs, and they were 75 cents.

I agree 100%! And while it may not seem like it, there ARE people back here that give thanks everyday for the sacrafices you are making!!

I got out in 97. Jumping out of planes was wreaking havoc on my back and knees! Well, not so much the jumping, more like the landing! I don't care what anybody says, with the low altitude chutes we used that landing still felt like jumping off a house! You can PLF all day long, and that shit still hurts! So when my ETS date came around I bolted. Biggest mistake of my life. Shoulda just changed my MOS and stayed in. I'd be 4 1/2 years from retirement right now!

[ChrispyPolanks]

i have heard many people say " I wish i stayed in ". i don't know im kind of deciding to seperate this year coming up. My DOS ( date of seperation) is JAN 2010. i have to make a really difficult decision really soon. i'm leaning more towards getting out and start studing and work a good job at the airport. you know life on the outside.

[tom502]

I think if you arn't in some field getting shot at, and have done well in it, I think staying in may be a good idea. The country is falling apart, and at least you'd have some security. I was a young rebel when I joined at 17, and did not fit well with the structure. I did my time, and I was out. But some people do well in it.

[Badfish74]

I would have to agree with Tom. Depending on how much time you have in. Plus from I hear they are giving outrageous re-up bonuses, especially if you re-up overseas! You've got great job security, and the lack of pay is kind of mafe up for with the free medical, and room and board. I have to admit I pretty much went straight from my parents house at 18 to the military. Even though I was only in 3 years, civilian life was quite a culture shock!

Just think long and hard and make sure you make the best decision for you.

I'm a former Blue Suiter (was an AMMO troop - none of that prissy flight crew stuff for me) who has an uncle that spent 22 years as a paratrooper in the Army - I asked him one time: "How is it that you bring yourself to jump out of perfectly good airplanes?"

His response was classic "I couldn't, that's why I jump out of C-130s."
