For real, in the TW-6 sim building, they’re emphasizing the ban bc some student/s is/have been spitting the used pouches into the urinals. Definition of doing it to yourselves (and every other responsible user).

The amount of Zyn patches for NIFE classes will be egregious in its own right!
To be fair, as a once long-time dipping tobacco user (in the jet and otherwise), it has been a good transition for me. That being said, folks who just jumped on the bandwagon having not used tobacco/nicotine products before but thought this was the cool thing to do, I just wish I could have told them "don't do it". Would love to fully quit. But in the meantime, my teeth/gumline has appreciated the zyns.
How many studs nowadays use Zyn or dip? Back in the dark ages when I went through very few guys smoked though a small but not insignificant percentage dipped from occasionally to often, maybe ~20% (?), but tobacco of all kinds wasn't anywhere near as common as it had been even just 10 years before.
BTW I despise the smell and debris from dipping, got that from school where it was ubiquitous and disgusting with built in spittoons in the walkways of our barracks...nothing personal @MIDNJAC but that shit is nasty.
No offense taken. It is disgusting, which is why zyn has been a nice offramp.......goal being to quit altogether this year.
Reminds me of the guys who would dip in the jet while flying - and use the relief tube to spit into (!)
More than once, a different guy would need to use it later on and find out 'mid-stream' that the tube was blocked by debris - and end up sitting there with a full funnel....
We need a vomit reaction for posts
Along the same lines as a reservist IP I had as a SNA in VT-6 that would smoke in the rear cockpit while I was flying Course Rules back to NSE!
When I went through, it was starting to get popular. Hell even in the squadrons, zyn is everywhere.. or Loops if you can find them. I personally quit a long time ago when I went through SERE. Decided since I had gone a week and some change without it, might as well keep the clean train going. I quit because it was expensive as all hell and I hated being reliant on it. The wife is a lot happier too!
Man i wish i had quit after SERE. Woulda been a great call!
Huh, that is a bit of a reversion then. I knew a few guys in the squadrons who dipped but very few did it often, there while there were a few guys who smoked while drinking but I only knew one non-prior O who smoked 'full time' along with a handful of priors. Zyn or the like doesn't seem to be too much of a thing among the military here at work, still a stubborn minority that smoke though.

If i am in Pensacola waiting months for NIFE to start, am i able to take a 3 week international vacation assuming I’ve accumulated the leave?
Just pay someone to say you’re at your HHG when they call your name for muster or whatever they do nowadays
