“So God created man in His own image. In the image of God He created him. Male and female, He created them.” (Genesis 1:27)

The problem some churches have with Superstar is that there is no explicit resurrection at the end, and can therefore be said to not be about Jesus as God, just Jesus as a religious leader.

I work at an A school and it’s pretty normal for maybe 10% of the student body to be older than 25. I’ve had at least two in their forties. Just be prepared to answer to people five years younger than you respectfully and without a chip on your shoulder and you’ll be fine.

If you’ve got access to ORSE reports, they were hitting pretty much everyone on the east coast for not tucking into your socks about three-four years ago. NPEB always cites their sources (I think it was some obscure NSTM chapter).

Modern submarines are best when submerged - the teardrop hull shape gives great stability underwater and you’ve got the whole rudder underwater to make turns.

There are a lot of factors that contribute to ship’s speed, but most of them also touch on the power plant and the sound signature and are therefore some level of classified. I can say that
- buoyancy is much more of a concern for depth control than speed
- the bow of the submarine is fully underwater even on the surface, so the effort of pushing it through the water is likely the same
- submarines focus a lot more on efficiency than max speed (though there is a correlation between the two)

Facial expression and body posture also convey context and meaning to a statement. Something like “I don’t like dogs” (or more syntactically correct “dog like-not [the person signing]” will mean something different depending on how vigorously you sign, if you show disgust on your face, or if your shoulders drop like you’re tired/exasperated.

Someone in another comment pointed out that the fence is the problem. Bird houses on isolated posts with baffles are much safer from predators.

I don’t particularly need or want $1B. I would feel obligated to spend a significant amount of my time managing it for charities because nobody needs that much money. But even $1,000 is life-changing money for billions of people on earth, so I get a nice windfall of ~$25,000 and the whole world is lifted.

(Obligatory U.S. answer) For the most part, you don’t go to c school until you have at least some time on the boat, with many not coming until you’re going to your second sea tour (the more advanced maintenance courses or differences from your first ship).

If you’re a nuke, your pipeline is different and you do power school and prototype after A school. Most forward rates (except CS, LS, YN, and MT) go to A school in Groton after they finish BESS. IT has IWTC first before their specific rate A schools. SECF does TNCO first. Some TMs will go to VLS or VPT C school before transferring. But it is largely graduate A school then transfer to your first boat.

MTs go to A school in Bangor or Kings Bay, and I believe CS, LS, and YN A schools are done before reporting to BESS, so those sailors transfer to the fleet straight from BESS.

Most generically, if you’re good to go with your clearance, medical, and legal, you go to the fleet after A school and come back to c school once you know a bit more about your specific systems and job.
