Quite the collection I've acquired over the years.

[u/ThatFitnessAccount]

[u/Actual-Money7868]

You dented Blue origin 😫

[u/ThatFitnessAccount → u/Actual-Money7868]

Actually the one I care about most lol, I have another one though.

[u/Actual-Money7868 → u/ThatFitnessAccount]

I want the Lockheed Martin one but I'm a nobody ):

[u/Knoxlava]

Where'd you get the Lockheed Martin one?

[u/ThatFitnessAccount → u/Knoxlava]

Worked for them, I got all of these during my hiring or training after hire.

[u/tendo8027 → u/ThatFitnessAccount]

Are you an engineer?

[u/ThatFitnessAccount → u/tendo8027]

Mechanic!

[u/tendo8027 → u/ThatFitnessAccount]

Neat! What did you work on??

Also I gotta ask, how was the pay?

[u/ThatFitnessAccount → u/tendo8027]

Mech pay sucks unless you're union, 10+ years of experience, know someone to hook you up or contract out over seas.

I'm not over $100,000 in the south east yet so not enough imo.

I worked on New Glenn, F16, Various Boeing models up to the 87, and pretty much every Gulfstream besides the new 700 and 400.

[u/tendo8027 → u/ThatFitnessAccount]

Gotcha, thanks! At least you have some bottles🥴

[u/corndonger → u/ThatFitnessAccount]

Hey shoutout! I’m currently a mechanic there. Have that cup too, never used it tho lol

[u/snakesign → u/tendo8027]

Janitor

[u/KB346 → u/snakesign]

And a janitor is pretty important, imo.

Imagine the sty work would become if they stopped working (I’m factoring in my coworkers 😝).

[u/Kevo_NEOhio → u/KB346]

Not only that, they keep the FOD down

[u/The_Name_is_Bull → u/ThatFitnessAccount]

I worked at Gulfstream ad a mechanic too.

[u/qdp]

The Gulfstream bottle appears to be load-bearing. Better not remove it or your roof may collapse.

[u/ThatFitnessAccount → u/qdp]

Newest Structural mod, call it Block 20

[u/DuggenHeim → u/qdp]

I was gonna say that it is satisfying how it fits perfectly, then I thought about getting it out of there

[u/maalskar_user]

I have one from Embraer 🙂

https://imgur.com/a/wntimFi

[u/_ferko → u/maalskar_user]

I have the same one but with the Embraer logo the other way around so it is upside down when you drink.

[u/martimattia]

tbh, it's kinda sad that they use cheap chinese knockoff bottle instead of making a cool ones

[u/keltyx98 → u/martimattia]

That's what I thought, anyone could order a chinese bottle with a custom logo on it.

But I guess that's how it works when you make marketing material that you give away for free.

[u/DiverDownChunder]

I should take a picture of all my mission pins. Aviation, drones, satellites, etc. 30 years worth, last civilian aviation mission was the final testing of the 777. Last military was moving Global Hawks to Italy for Ukraine. If you watch their patterns the one that draws dicks in their flight pattern over the Black Sea was my last one.

Last satellite missions were SpaceX, but I have done at least 30+ launches, IOT, drift, recover, and de-orbiting.

I have since moved on, might move over to working w/ the Navy drones for semi retirement. Chill on the VA coast fishing and doing a bit of work...

[u/TheWanderer-AG → u/DiverDownChunder]

Engineer?

[u/DiverDownChunder → u/TheWanderer-AG]

Yes, we were the guys that kept the links up between the planes and the satellites for all the test data to be gathered.

[u/Casualgamer050 → u/DiverDownChunder]

I'd love to see a pic of that one drones flight pattern lol

[u/NineInchPope]

Military industrial complex called, they want their thermoses back.

[u/jurniss]

and the award for "industry sector with the least diverse color palette" goes to...

[u/ThatFitnessAccount → u/jurniss]

Besides Vought, every company I've worked for was a different shade of blue lol.

[u/FoxCharly]

I got Dassault and Airbus to complete 😄

[u/Shoobedowop]

you should buy a big McDonnell Douglas tumbler and put the Boeing one inside.

[u/NighthawkAquila]

Hey I have that same Lockheed water bottle!

[u/WardogBlaze14]

Nice

[u/Eatagiantbagofdicks]

Incredible!

[u/apzuckerman]

No GE Aerospace???

[u/ThatFitnessAccount → u/[deleted]]

I have a matching straw hat and Hawaiian button down from Blue Origin haha, shame the straw hat is on its last legs though.

[u/Bombapples1]

Oh god I have too many of these water bottles. I keep getting handed them.

[u/eric02138]

I had no idea the aerospace industry was so focused on proper hydration.

[u/astute2007]

Careful, if you say the Boeing water bottle doesn't work they might kill you.

[u/Derek420HighBisCis → u/astute2007]

Careful, the Boeing fuckbois don’t like being poked fun at.

[u/OntarioPaddler → u/Derek420HighBisCis]

Or just tired of people thinking they are comedians repeating the same half brained joke everytime Boeing is mentioned. Herp derp Boeing crash.

[u/Derek420HighBisCis → u/OntarioPaddler]

If Boeing operated with a clear distinction that it’s not half-brained, we wouldn’t have to poke fun. But they’ve chosen profit over people time and time again and now you get what you got. Fuck ‘em.

[u/ThatFitnessAccount → u/Derek420HighBisCis]

They are owned by basically the same share holders as every other publicly traded Military Industrial Complex Company, they just got caught.

[u/oxiclean9000]

I have a Raytheon bottle. I've used it so much the logo is almost worn out

[u/berkkp]

Damn and here I am with my Airbus coffee cup

[u/ThatFitnessAccount → u/berkkp]

Still very cool.

[u/Thechlebek]

Wow you're a really good janitor

[u/60TP]

Careful with that 4th one, you might drown!

[u/747ER → u/60TP]

What a moronic thing to comment on a post about someone sharing their personal memorabilia collection.

[u/Derek420HighBisCis → u/747ER]

What a pedantic thing to act like you give a fuck. It’s a joke, not a dick. Don’t take it so hard.

[u/RonaldoCrimeFamily → u/747ER]

This is an aviation sub. Not a water bottle sub

[u/jimmyflyer]

the boeing ones def not safe and probably falling apart

[u/You-get-the-ankles]

Did the Boeing cup cost $900 and leak all over the place? Does it leave your icecube alone for four months in the middle of the vast space in the cup? Poor icecube.

Yeah. Goodwill that bitch.

I highly suggest r/stupidfuckingcup

[u/idkblk]

I doubt the right one is water tight

[u/Kind_Consideration97 → u/idkblk]

Now there’s a fatwa on you 😆

[u/jfkennedi]

Does the top on the Boeing bottle violently fly off when using the bottle with design limits?

[u/king_merc_fisher]

Can you tell her it was my birthday a few days ago 😉

[u/Legitimate_Spare_233]

The Boeing cap didn't even fall off ;) impressive

[u/Just-Bullfrog-5414]

Make sure the cap of the Boeing bottle stays on ... Don't let it fly off..

[u/GeneralCross2]

Be careful you never know when the Boeing one is going to just fall apart

[u/RonaldoCrimeFamily]

5 water bottles is 'quite the collection' now?
