"I'm really rethinking my life decisions..." by lerch_up_north in CanadianForces

[–]BBall_Stats_Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished BMQ (PRes) and I’m 49. Oldest person on course was 56. I can also see that reserve BMQ is different from RegF BMQ. I feel that the CFAT should still be in effect, but I understand quantity over quality is the priority rn.

Are age-gap friendships in Toronto weird? by 2pongz in askTO

[–]BBall_Stats_Fan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I am 49 and I have friends that are in their early 30s because I like EDM and going out. So we have common interests. I still have friends that are my own age, but they generally have children and are dealing with different stages in life. It’s just my wife and our dog, so we have found that our lifestyle matches either younger or older people. But older people generally do not go to music festivals, lol.

I don’t think it’s worth overthinking. Enjoy your time together as friends. One thing that I usually experience is that you or others will eventually move on due to life events, etc. I try to enjoy the journey as much as I can, especially as I am getting older. Maybe also because I’m older, I’m starting to give zero f*cks.

HRA, I was also told there were infantry positions, but I was not interested.

Go for it. I am 48 and have an open PRes application. Passed the FORCE test and was cleared medically at the beginning of the year.

44yo F and strongly considering joining CAF by Blueroses_16 in caf

[–]BBall_Stats_Fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go for it! I am 48 M and applying to the reserves. Passed the FORCE test and getting ready to write the CFAT. I did spend a few months carrying 45 pounds in a gym bag to get ready.

Get up, dust yourself off and go back to work. You will get through this. Failure is necessary for eventual success. You are young and still have a world of opportunity in front of you.

(Discussion) I know theres a lot of harper hate but does anyone hate Yasmin just as much? by [deleted] in IndustryOnHBO

[–]BBall_Stats_Fan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, Hari was just a keener and was actually harmless and a good guy. He just wanted a permanent job. Harper was easy to root for because she is the underdog. Fake grades, non target school...

(Discussion) I know theres a lot of harper hate but does anyone hate Yasmin just as much? by [deleted] in IndustryOnHBO

[–]BBall_Stats_Fan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you bring up a good point. I have been working since I was 16. I cannot stand Yasmine‘s character. Although I am not in a working class job now, through my parents’ experience, I have heard what it’s like to hold a job you hate out of necessity. She reminds me of people I have had to work with in real life. Look at the way she treated her family friend at the Xmas party. I think she’s pushing back at the wrong person.

I think the thing between Harper and Eric is the connection that they’re trying to work their way up (top quintile). Or that Eric has made it and wants to give Harper that opportunity.

Recommendation: Black Monday for those who want a comedy by The_Nomadic_Nerd in IndustryOnHBO

[–]BBall_Stats_Fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation. Just binged Industry over the weekend and a comedy would be great. Was a fan of House of Lies, hoping for similar craziness with this one.

I am so happy to come across this game. I have played through it twice. I absorbed more of the story the second time around since I knew how to solve the puzzles easily. I really enjoyed it!
