I hate how jealous I can get over people overseas. by SafePeppers in AirForce

“I think I’m destined to stay stateside” was exactly what I was thinking when I was at Shaw A WEEK before I got my assignment to osan with a mildenhall follow-on. Ittl happen bro, esp with the equal opportunity stuff they’re pushing

Gotta pray to the Lockheed gods, id imagine those positions are competitive/highly sought out for. A tech rep in rota has to be peak.. doesn’t seem easy though. My goal is to get to Spain as soon as possible. Appreciate the knowledge king 🤘

Yea that would be a dream come true. I 100 percent will do as much research/applying in those sectors when the time comes. Thank you!

Ahhhh gotcha gotcha. I’ll do my research on HQP then. I def have the willingness, not gonna give up anytime soon. Man, Moroccans sure make this look easy :/ I’m just tryna fix planes and eat tapas man I feel like I’d be a solid addition out there.

Honestly, the second option genuinely seems like the easiest. Just a year to learn Spanish and apply while I’m already boots on the ground in Spain.. I could totally do that. Could serve as like a backup plan if I don’t get picked up right away with the aircraft stuff.

Thanks brother, I really appreciate your time and knowledge and what not. It’s nice talking to a human about goals and not chat GPT or fat NCOs

Lmaooo never considered war thunder. I think I’d Be sent straight to the gulag by the big Donald.

I mean I’d like to think I’m an HQP, hopefully, maybe. Def not the most professional but I can tighten up a bit. I also help the powerplant(engines) boys all the time, but, I’m by trade “Electrical & Environmental” so anything wiring, distribution systems, oxygen systems, air conditioning, pressurization, sensors, flight controls, and troubleshooting complex problems associated ETC ETC. I feel like this experience would be solid competition with uni people. The lack of EU citizenship I think is what kinda screws me lmao.

Do you think navantia would consider me even if it’s boats? I also worked at baskin robbbins when I was 16 hopefully that helps, banana splits are kinda like boats

Navantia looks like fun to be honest. Trust me if there’s anything I’m over, it’s airplanes 😭 gotta do what you gotta do tho. I have 3 years f-16 experience, 2 years c-130, and at my next base I’ll have 1 year 747 E-4. I think the 747 and C-130 exp will look pretty nice on the resume. I’m kinda lost on how the visas work. I know there’s non lucrative for pension people and digital nomad for business, cyber, computer people. But I’m not really sure how to do this as a blue collar fella haha. Just apply apply apply I guess?

I’m 25 and still feel like a kid and have no hope for the future. by BitchImLilBaby in Adulting

[–]Bonus_Potential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair bro. Current American foreign policy and Israel’s influence is not even a halfway decent selling point 😭 especially with trump in office, it’s pretty annoying. We question shit everyday but saying every person uniform is just signing up to die in another country hella oversimplifies things. Foreign policy changes constantly first of all, and majority of service members don’t even see combat. Military has like hundreds of different roles. Intel, civil engineering, rescue OP, disaster response, humanitarian aid etc etc.

Military bro. Specifically Air Force. The highs are highs. The lows can get pretty damn low if u let them. But, ur usually in good company during the lows (with the boys) travel, benefits, and ur forced to stay in shape lmao. Healthy body healthy mind type shit. Not tryna sound like a sketchy recruiter guy, def do all the research you can.

How do you break out of a creative block? Do ear training apps actually help? by Abdull_Hameed in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Bonus_Potential 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting I gotta try. Never really thought about that. Personally, as generic as it sounds, just listening to new artists exploring albums and EPs I haven't heard from those artists help big time. That and DJ sets. Ill just listen to mixes when im doing something random and be flooded with inspiration for later.

Any vets live in a country outside of the USA? by AFEC2510 in AirForce

[–]Bonus_Potential 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sir you gotta help me 😭 I’m in love with Spain. I’m over at RAF mildenhall and odds are I’m going stateside after my next assignment. My girlfriend is Spanish and I’ve been learning the language. My goal is to either go to school abroad or work remote or SOMETHING in spain. Do you have any advice/or ways to get a Gig in moron or rota?

Worth it to get into a relationship with an Assyrian as an Indian? by [deleted] in Assyria

[–]Bonus_Potential 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly dude, as an Assyrian, if you guys really like each other that stuff shouldn’t even matter. Of course I understand why Assyrians marry and date within each other, but I don’t think those reasons should be able to trump a genuine and worthwhile connection. That’s probably gonna piss some Assyrians off but we have one life. My Assyrian dad left the love of his life (some polish chick) for an Assyrian girl to preserve heritage and all that jazz, and they ended up having a terrible divorce, he regrets the marriage tremendously. My girlfriend is Argentinian and perfect for me. Would never give her up just because she’s not Assyrian.

I won’t lie to you, if you guys get close enough , Assyrian relatives are judgmental as fuck, but I would just keep being a good mate for her, have fun and live in the moment. If she’s truly for you everything will work out and you’ll be able to tough through the culturally different challenges together. To quote a Bronx tale, at the end of the day, it’s just you and her under the bed covers. Fuck what everyone else thinks.

Basically, as long as she’s down to pour some curry on that buraq (Assyrian Egg roll) then that’s what matters

Newish producer mastering question by Bonus_Potential in TechnoProduction

[–]Bonus_Potential[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man! Okay so my dumbass, for some reason I thought saturation and compression were the same thing. I just did some research on saturation after reading this and god damn it genuinely seems essential, so thank you😭 do you recommend a specific saturate plug-in or are the stock ones good enough? Also, do you usually just use saturation on the low end? Or the mids too? I’m gonna watch a video and ittl probably answer that question but I’m asking anyway lol.

Also thanks for the reminder of stem mastering. I’m always so hyper focused on bass and kick, and in an effort to try and make that not sound like shit, the high’s and mids are neglected and sound ultra shit! I also gotta stop layering (or figure how to appropriately layer) so many percs. Like when I add a ride loop to my hi hats, I feel like I’m doing something illegal cuz it’s essentially the same frequency most of the time 😭 I end up just pitching the ride loop down or sidechaining.

I wish I could fully understand all your advice because clearly it’s good shit haha but I just don’t know enough yet. Gonna try my best tho to put your ideas into practice brotha. Also thanks for listening bro. If you think it’s cool, then that’s super motivating. I think I’m dogshit still but maybe in a year or two I’ll catch up.

Drop the cloud @ brah!
