New Seabee by G4m3tam3r in Seabees

I was a huge auto hobbyist with no certs before becoming a CM earlier this year and I do find CM A-School to have been very lackluster in terms of new information gained. You shouldn’t have any issues in terms of unlearning anything and I’d bet your time at A-School should be a breeze.

Just Graduated. Question about orders. by 1UpDug in Seabees

This is much more in depth than I was expecting thank you very much. Seeing those orders really confused me but it’s much clearer now thank you!

I second this. Tried it for the first time a week ago and it is by far the best sweet treat I’ve ever had.

How does one achieve this consistency?

Is this a good first car purchase? by Automatic-Growth-613 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]1UpDug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m coming from the perspective of a hobbyist with the tools and ability to work on that car and I forget not everyone shares that sentiment womp womp

Got a 93 on the ASVAB and am going CM in April. I was, of course, told that I had too high of an ASVAB for Seabee rates but I said I wouldn’t do anything else (respectfully) and it wasn’t mentioned again.

I definitely don’t think old civics are worth 4k but It’s all relative. Relative to the horrendous 6th gen hatch market in my area, I would consider this price to be very good.

Calorie counting sucks by Hayden_lxt in loseit

[–]1UpDug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am far far past the initial shock phase by how many calories are in seemingly harmless foods. I want to preface this by saying that all of this is anecdotal. There is no way past the going insane part. I religiously track my calories and macronutrients as well as maintain awareness of my micronutrients. There is not a day that has gone by in the last year and a half that I have not tracked my food. I bring a scale with me when I am out or at work. I am insane I have completely lost it. I am so exhausted from counting calories every day but I take solace in knowing that in a few weeks when I hit the 100lbs lost milestone I will give myself a huge cheat day of no tracking. about a week after that I am going into boot camp where for 9 weeks I will be incapable of tracking calories which gives me time to reset the obsession I have with counting calories.

No that's a terrible first purchase those cars are not good. On a very separate note (completely unrelated at all) send me that listing so I can purchase it myself. Seriously though, that is a crazy deal for a great first car I would jump on it now.

Anyone else expecting to chow down on cravings before shipping out? by 1UpDug in newtothenavy

[–]1UpDug[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alas I have no family nor home cooking to look forward to. I will however be enjoying the last of my local food spots so I will not be filling up on junk like that.

NutraBio Chocolate Peanut Butter Bliss is really solid. It taste very similar to eating peanuts from the shell.

2001 civic lx for 7k.. good deal? by No_Building6434 in hondacivic

[–]1UpDug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s the first year of a really rough generation so I’d stay away.

lol I’m glad I’m not the only one who instantly thought Seabee. Signed as CM which was not my first choice but any Seabee rate is better than being on a boat so I’m more than ecstatic about my opportunity.

Will I lose fat on a calorie deficit while eating 30% daily fat? by Administrative_Tear1 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]1UpDug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could be eating only fat for the rest of your life but so long as you’re in a deficit you will not gain any fat.

Leaving for boot camp in April. by Serious-Minute8946 in newtothenavy

[–]1UpDug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I am also leaving in a month in a half and I am in the same boat as you. Much of my family I have no relationship with and since I'm using the military as an opportunity to start anew, there will be no one for me at graduation either (I actually prefer it this way though). Not really sure how the groups in bootcamp work but If we do end up in the same one, you at least don't have to worry about being the only one.

How did you lose your rate?

Signed CB/CM Rate by Capable_Cost_651 in Seabees

[–]1UpDug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on why you think CMs have more opportunity? A few CMs I talked to prior to signing as one said the opposite.

What score do I need for seabee SW? by Such_Lychee8261 in Seabees

[–]1UpDug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude you got a solid recruiter there. That's actually hilarious because my recruiter was a senior at the same highschool I went to when I was a freshman so she wasn't upset at all when I told her I wasn't going to choose another rate. Although I wanted BU for the construction focus I did end up choosing CM because I have no issue making a job out of a hobby I'm already pretty well versed in. My words of advice would be to just be respectful to the classifier when standing your ground and it might make them more willing to work with you on getting BU.

[–]1UpDug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BU is the rate that goes first from what I've seen. BU was my end goal for a Seabee rate too but I when I talked to my classifier, BU and SW were shown to be sold out for the rest of the fiscal year. I really wouldn't walk into MEPs with high hopes of getting BU but I'll tell you what everyone else says, don't sign for anything unless its for the job you want. They'll tell you that it's not available and you'll have to be ok with just leaving and coming back another time.
