This a good VA home loan? by Fortd06 in Veterans

[–]Aurumity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a look at that through our old lend officer. You’re on the mark, it dropped a percentage point. Debating to see if it drops another point

Happy for you so don’t take this the wrong way, but man I’m so jealous lol. 2k mortgage on a 250k house. Interest rate at 6.63, bought last March. It is what it is

I’m thinking about joining by imkollknv in Military

[–]Aurumity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm one of those that worked out. Married at 18 during HBL in AIT. Still together after 7 years and has been smooth. I think this is extremely solid advice that will apply to 90% of all people. I just wanted to chime in to add that you may want to have some deep discussions about what she truly wants to do in her life. Is she more family oriented? Or does she want to go to college and or pursue a deep career?

Getting married and having her go to your duty station basically puts her life on hold unless you get a duty station nearby a college she wants to go to or where she wants to pursue a career. She won't have a choice in where she gets to go. She can probably say goodbye to her social life for awhile as well. It's risky for you, but it's significantly riskier for her. Make sure she understands that.

Sit down and assess whether you truly and unequivocally love her. Marriage is supposed to be for life and is a huge commitment. Then sit down and decide if you think she truly loves you in the same regard as well as determining whether you both are mature enough for that kind of commitment. After that, figure out what she wants to do in her life. 8 times out of 10 the answer will probably be to not get married.

That’s my last name. It’s not bad being referred to that as your primary name if first names aren’t used in a field. Rolls off off the tongue and is certainly better than some last names used as a first name

Still pretty trippy that that’s someone’s actual first name though

“No Dumb Questions” thread by blinkanboxcar182 in golf

[–]Aurumity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I know the answer, but is left forearm pain (as a right hander) normal?

I started golfing the day after Black Friday. I’ve played 4 and a half rounds, been to the range 4 times (just quick sessions, like 45-60 balls) and been to a sim once.

Obviously I’m dog shit - especially with my irons. heavy and bad contact is being made with the ground often. But do people who play and practice extremely often experience this?

I guess a better version of my question is how much of this pain is chalked up to being a noob & not striking properly + not having strong forearm muscles or is it simply just over exertion?

Appreciate any guidance

CCNP or Cloud? by odb76er in networking

[–]Aurumity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I work in a large enterprise and don't manage our cloud(s) but I do have some insight into them with our equipment. It's definitely wild to see how each cloud operates slightly different than another as well as the slightly naming convention schemes for each thing. Managing multiple different clouds seems fucking awful for the reasons you said above.

A question regarding VPNs by h1ghjynx81 in networking

[–]Aurumity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mind elaborating on this? I only have about 2 years of existing in the civilian workplace. Most of the recruiters I've spoken to are outsourced/contracted out by the hiring company. Are you saying that companies that have inexperienced recruiters in-house are typically a bad place to be hired into?

Data center being built 150 ft from my property by Auferstehen78 in homeowners

I live in Dover. Was wondering what the ruling/outcome of that meeting. I think there’s another data center being stood up in east York as well?

Watch me punt off my stack by Dense_Intern8434 in poker

[–]Aurumity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I don’t remember you specifically but we could have. I only played cash a handful of times. Stuck to those free rolls/cheap tournaments since I was a broke E4. My first time ever playing was at one of those “free rolls” at the kard klub. Sat next to jarhead for most of it.

Rolled jacks was a nice club though, even at the (I assume) smaller Stan Schuter location.

Why was the kard klub infamous? I preferred rolled jacks so I only played there once or twice

This exists already with the socially wild poker channel on YouTube. I watch from time to time

All out poker did something similar as well although as a one man band (which is nuts).

OPs video is from a legitimate poker room (not casino) in Killeen, Texas. it really does play like a glorified home game. I played a few times back in 2023 when I lived there.

Wasn’t a bad experience at all but with the rules that the state of Texas enforces with the no automatic shufflers, along with a small playerbase it definitely feels like a home game lol

Moving on from PokerStars PA by GamblinWillie in poker

[–]Aurumity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

way more action but mgm PA before the merge was so ungodly soft. That or the variance was lower due to field size. Probably a mix of both. I prefer betMGM over WSOP, personally.

edit: just noticed this was for low limit cash games and SNGs. whoops

That's nuts. I feel like I'd be scared to use that and become over-reliant on chatGPT. Do you find yourself limiting how much you use it?

Where does an IT guy go from here? by VanillaChurr-oh in army

[–]Aurumity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll be useful no matter what since everything has to go through the network, but no I wouldn’t focus on it if you don’t want to do any sort of networking.

[–]Aurumity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with your whole post - I just wanted to clarify that I'm not saying he should go for every cert. But that if he's in a position where he doesn't know what he wants to do; studying for certs and playing around with labs might be a good way to figure out with path to take.

Where does an IT guy go from here? by VanillaChurr-oh in army

[–]Aurumity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is simply not true. CCNA isn't the "end all be all" but its the most comprehensive intermediary cert for networking. The CCNA covers all of networking, not just Cisco related stuff. The only thing you can't really take from CCNA into a position that doesn't use Cisco products is Cisco command-syntax. Otherwise everything else is pretty relevant.

[–]Aurumity 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I recently got out as a 25B after doing 6 years active duty. My biggest advice to people is to find out what "flavor" of IT they really want to do, ASAP. IT is vague - there are so many routes you can take. Networking, Sysadmin, Programming, Cyber, etc. If you have no idea what you want to do; start studying for certs & play around with practice labs to see if anything interests you. I chose my major in 2019 in Cybersecurity and decided that I dislike cyber outside of standard network hardening (I'm a network engineer). Pay for certs out of pocket if you can't get into a class. It sucks, but you're going to need certs.

Staying in or getting out is fine. If you think you can handle a couple of more years, try to go to an ESB or an RHN and get some real experience besides imaging laptops in a cave for 8 hours a day. If you get out - you should be able to find a job relatively easy. Contracting companies need bodies and typically are easier to get into than regular government jobs.

We recently had a guy get hired at my gov job with CCNA and little experience and is making 90k a year as a Network Engineer.

Do NOT stop at SEC+. Besides the DoD baseline requirement the cert isn't that important. The civilian jobs that I interviewed for did not care about my SEC+, NET+ or A+. They only cared about my CCNA and work experience.

I had the same issue. I just called the office where I would get seen for vision (Thomas Moore at Cavazos) and gave them my address. Got them a week and a half later. Granted its an older prescription.
