I don’t like this firing squad execution. Seems barbaric. Not sure how the active duty personnel who will participate will react.

I am an ex Air Force. I have to ask you about these long deployments on a ship. Example Abraham Lincoln ship. What is life like? What are the day to day off duty activities? How long does it take for cabin fever to set in?

I do admire you who served on these long deployments. When I read about this long deployment of sailors and marines on board the Abraham Lincoln, I don’t know what to say. I feel for you.

I have 4 Sirius radios under my subscription. One is lifetime the other 3 were $5.00 each a month. Well one of the radio’s subscription is up for renewal. Sirius wanted to charge $24 a month for this radio.

I called and asked to continue with my current subscription price. The AI and actual agent could not provide a better rate.

Since Sirius cannot continue with current promotion, I canceled one of the radios.

Since I canceled, in the future, could I get a better rate?

Really no big deal if I don’t have a subscription since there are other avenues to listen to music at a lower price or free. I did let the agent know this is the direction I am going.

I was moved from Magenta Max military to Experience Beyond w/ Military Savings. I have the One Plan Tablet with kickback 2GB for $10 or unlimited for $20.00.

I understand that I may be eligible for a $5.00 tablet plan with basically unlimited data. Is this the case?

Can someone explain this to me if it is worth moving to this plan? What is the catch?

Note: when I go to T-Life and look at the tablet plan, it only shows me the One Plan Tablet.

In August 2025, someone rear ended me on my rear drivers side in a parking lot. The other drivers insurance declined my claim and I had to file under my USAA insurance. The other drivers insurance stated that I backed into the car behind me. This is impossible because my car has Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and stops the car.

The way my car was hit, it is definitely the other drivers fault. I did call the police and they refused to come and investigate. I do have pictures of the car hitting my rear drivers side. The other driver took no pictures.

Last September USAA informed me that this claim is going to subrogation. Well it is approaching July and have not heard anything. I really don’t want to talk to USAA because the off shore claims person acted like it was my fault. WTF. I had to get nasty with them in order for them to pay and go after the other driver’s insurance.

My question is how long does subrogation take? Do I need to be concerned? I did pay my $1K deductible for the $9K in damages to my vehicle.

I know I should talk to USAA, but really don’t want to deal with them until August. Any advice is appreciated.
