Steroids make strep so much more tolerable.

So true! I used to get strep all the time working at the Children's Hospital full-time. Only had steroids once when it was really bad and could barely swallow but made all the difference in the world I remember.

Officially booked, flying back to LA in a couple weeks for a short (2 day) stay (have to turn in some old Army gear and whatnot)

Good luck with that. I've known nobody who had a good time turning their gear in.
Yeah, when I came off Active Duty, clearing CIF was a hassle, but was pretty straightforward for me thankfully. I had more issues clearing Company Supply (had to buy a few items from used gear sellers off post lol)

Hopefully clearing my Reserve Company's Supply will also be fairly straightforward...my old Supply Sergeant was pretty chill/easy to work with. On Monday when I call them to make my appointment I'll ask her to email me the list of what I owe (I remember seeing it somewhere...maybe I'll play around on AKO and see if I can't find it there, I remember they pulled something like that from there in the past)

Good luck with that AKO is a pain to use when you can't use a CAC login. Don't think my password has been updated in three years, doubt it even works anymore.

Hopefully my CAC still works, it's not due to expire till the end of May. Though it's been Lord knows how long since I've tried logging into AKO, but I do have a card reader, and it's been even longer since I've tried logging in without it ha

It's been an eventful month. V fob code save, a legit STEMI, a head bleed, a nasty pediatric autoped, and now the MS150 bike race.

In an unrelated topic (this IS the directionless thread after all lol)

Does anyone have any experience swapping out the lights on their POV with LEDs? One of my tail lights burned out so I decided "why not?" and picked up a pair of LED replacements. My stock lights are 3157 white bulbs, the LED is a 3157R with a red light. Plugs in and turns on just fine, but is so dim you can't tell it's on when it's inside the bucket...

So I'm wondering if that 'R' (i.e. 3157 vs 3157R) makes a difference, or should I have gotten a white LED not red? Or both? Or some other factor I don't know about?

Well in any case, O'Reillys refunded the lights, I got a regular pair instead (for like half the price of the LEDs) those worked, and now I'm at the movies waiting to see Infinity War lol

Just saw Infinity War a couple hours ago. That was a LOT to take in.

Infinity War was awesome. Will be interesting to see where it goes from here.
Waiting for the internet to blow thru the "Anti Spoiler" buffer (probably won't be too much longer) and work itself into a frenzy debating what exactly happened and what it means and all that jazz...the Ant Man sequel due out later this year will most likely only feed that frenzy until the Captain Marvel movie hits next year (and then the Avengers 4 a month later next year)
