I'm a proud member of the US Air Force, just like my Grandpa was. I visited an old military museum with him, saw the equipment he used to use; it was a great bonding moment. I will never forget it.

This is a great story you could share with your descendants too. My father was also in Military but he passed away last year. I wish we created more memories such as this.

Aww. Was he your inspiration in pursuing Air Force?

Great that you were able to bond with your Grandpa. I miss those times where I could just talk to my own gramps about anything. I am sure that was a touching moment for him as well.

I'm sure that trip to the museum was all-sorts nostalgic for him. I bet he could not ask for a better afternoon spent with his grandson.

I bet he was transported to another time. Sharing those experiences with a younger version of himself must have been a fantastic feeling. Good on you for bringing him there.

You must be very proud. Because I am. My grandfather served the navy for a long time. I still call him Sir grandpa ll the time. It makes him smile.

This is so wholesome. Military musuem experiences are one of a kind. You get to curate your own visit, selecting the poignant moments that leave a lasting impression. I'm glad your grandpa shared that with you.

Hi Fishes,
Need some positive suggestions.

I'm a data analyst(SQL, Python, ETL, Viz) with 6.5yrs exp at LTI(1 Month exp).
I left PWC AC after 6 months of joining because of the nature of dabba work I was getting(80% testing/documentation, 20% technical). Worked for 12+ hrs everyday and wanted to have some wlb.

Now in LTI, life is too peaceful and there's no technical work in current project. I'm getting thoughts like I'm wasting my skills by taking less tech projects at this stage of career.

I have a friend who told me he sought treatment for alcohol abuse 6 mo ago. We talk a lot and I try not to judge or ask too many questions about his progress, just wanting to be a supportive friend who doesn’t pressure him. Today I brought him to a very laid back picnic… there was drinking but plenty of non-alcoholic alternatives, and it was a very chill group. Toward the end of the day I noticed him drink something. Should I have confronted and stopped him? Should I bring it up now? Guilty now
