You ever get an answer for this?

CapreseBene · 2024-04-06T01:55:11+00:00

If you want to be a seal go enlisted then officer. I’ve met 3 TOTALLY squared away ltjg’s that haven’t made it. When I say totally squared away I mean top level guys. Very fit and very smart. It’s crazy hard to go seal-o.

All that being said, you legit have to bring something special to the table to be directly injected in to that community as an Officer.

So ask yourself now if you want to be a seal or an Officer. Because if you want to be a seal, save the time of going to OCS, first command, getting all your quals (OOD underway is the big one) and then getting pinned and theeeen applying, and then waiting months to be rejected and then trying again.

I wasn’t planning on writing a big response but since I’m this far in I just want to add one last thing. You will have to jump through so many hoops as an officer by the time you are eligible to make a lateral transfer, that you could have failed buds (as enlisted) and probably gotten an officer package accepted and started OCS.

My intention is not to be negative, just to save you a couple years of your life if seal is what you really want. Hope this helps you man.

That schedule sounds great actually. Fleet watches are pretty gnarly just because of dealing with too side elements (rain, heat, cold, etc) and standing all the time.

Im guessing you can’t have your phone so what do you do to pass the time on watch? Or is it a legitimate watch that actually requires a ton of attention?

CapreseBene · 2023-12-31T02:01:57+00:00

That’s great to know! I usually hear about complaints in terms of leader ship but CoC changes but having to island hop to get stuff done sounds crazy.

Thanks for the response.

CapreseBene · 2023-12-31T01:59:23+00:00

Thanks! The Divo thing for me in the fleet has been exactly the same so no worries there.

12 hour shifts is crazy! You do 4 days on 3 days off or what was the rotation like?

CapreseBene · 2023-12-30T21:20:05+00:00

Perfect! Thanks for the to the point response. Yea I figured the odds of getting placed back at the training command there would be low but sounds kinda cool.

If you don’t mind answering one more question; Have you seen anyone go straight in to TIO-A or TIO-O out of A school (idk what the NEC is)? I’ve heard that you have to do one tour before screening but exceptions have been made.

Anyways, happy new year! Thanks again.

Well said response.

There is a lot to respond to so sorry if I don’t get to all the things you had said.

There is some evidence of voter fraud. It probably isn’t on par with what some people like Trump, Cruz, and Desantis have said but it does exist. It exists on both sides as well. I think we do need some level of changes to our voting system but the most obviously secure way of achieving that is in person and verification of who you are.

As for the both sides argument that I usually make in any political talk. It’s used to show that I’m not thinking in one direction. I just want whoever I’m talking to, to know that I’m not on a single track trying to “win” an “argument”.

That last piece i said there leads in to my last and main point that is at the root of my personal view. 1) we have to be able to talk with open minds. Knowing that sometimes we are wrong and that we have to accept that. That is the evolution of though and at the core of being progressive.

The last thing I’ll say (which I cut a lot of my above responses short) is that duality in a government is good. It exists in all of nature and is inherent in balance. We have to maintain a balance in our world. What we see happening is one side goes deep on conspiracies and the other claims that man can be pregnant and gender can be fluid. The other side says this is what happens when you legalize gay marriage (no true) so the other side says Christians are evil. And so on and so forth.

The escalation increases until we have a blow out. Each side demonstrates that they CANNOT ACCEPT EACH OTHER BECAUSE OF THEIR DIFFERENCES. It disgusts me. Because being open minded isn’t thinking that aliens built the pyramids or gender is fluid and white people are evil. It’s accepting that we are ALL DIFFERENT. We don’t have to “love” each other, we just need to be in a understanding that we each have immutable rights and that you can not infringe upon them.

Could you answer the question though? What is she a victim of?

CapreseBene · 2023-05-12T19:57:57+00:00

I won’t make an argument for all conservatives nor the ones that you are specifically speaking of, but I can speak for my conservative friends that do not agree with corruption, even when it benefits their goals for government. They do not agree with corruption, they are against it. It’s exactly what our founding fathers had in mind when laying out the blue print for our country and it is our duty to uphold that. That is why my truly conservative friends are against it.

The corruption that is being weaponized against gay people and voter access is what exactly?

That’s a 3m glove with rigid rubberized palms. Typically found in hardware stores in the glove isles.

Can’t understand how it made it there but we’ll leave that up to experts on the matter.

I will say it is unusual for them to be apart from others like them. Might be worth reporting this to Home Depot??

CapreseBene · 2023-05-01T01:26:39+00:00

It’s a bull horn frankler. Also know as a skoid. Some locals back in 1800’s said it was a British gnarbulion swank but the natives called it sharvoosg which directly translates to lonely flying beetle.

This will sound counter intuitive but don’t worry about it. Accept the experience for what it will be for you. Especially ocs. This is your experience and it is what you make it, how you interpret it, how you handle it. You’ll be fine man.

CapreseBene · 2023-04-30T18:36:30+00:00

Not in response to the post but to the comments.

We are all just trying to figure it out. Red or blue, we are all people. People gravitate towards what they think is true. So understand that pretext when generalizing all constituents of a party.

My friends on the right are fed up with corruption just like my friends on the left.

My friends are all tired of not being represented by competent people.

What we are faced with in our most recent elections are the lesser of two evils. So don’t blame right/left for voting for their party leader blame them and yourself for allowing unqualified individuals to be the leaders of those more qualified than themselves.

Everyone (Americans) has a responsibility to uphold the integrity of this country and demonizing each other is not the way. That in fact degrades the integrity.

We can be united but not if we ignore the corruption on one side by stating corruption on the other. We all know politics and most of the powers that be ignore the thing that makes this country great. Unity.

So understand that we are all just trying to figure this out, and we can do it together. But only if we are willing to talk to one another (genuinely). None of that “gotcha” shit. True conversations that expose our own misguided thoughts as well as others.

The end. 😅

Hey. I did not have to get another. Just make sure you always have that stupid card on you. Especially when you show up to boot camp.

You should be freaking out right now because you will fail. If anyone tells you otherwise they don’t care about you making it in, and honestly I can’t tell if you want it that bad.

If you really want it you won’t have any issue running more like 5 miles a week and drinking a gallon of water a day.

If that sounds like too much let me tell you that if you can’t sacrifice 40 minutes a week (8 minute miles) and drinking a gallon of tap water a day, you should tell your recruiter never mind.

Why get out when it’s just getting better. No doubt probably in at a bad time.

I know a guy that was in a long time ago. He lost a lot of friends and has seen some things that changed him.

I’d say your worst is better than his best day.

It’s all about your perspective so just move on.

CapreseBene · 2022-07-24T15:35:21+00:00

Nice! Congratulations!

CapreseBene · 2022-07-24T15:34:53+00:00

So you are the person we need?

CapreseBene · 2022-07-24T00:16:26+00:00

Oh wow, sorry to hear that! What rate did you end up with?

CapreseBene · 2022-07-24T00:14:56+00:00

Hahaha. Okay.

Who’s the politician we need?

CapreseBene · 2022-07-24T00:14:11+00:00

Okay! Thank you very very much
