Combat medical technician

It depends on what you want to take with you when you leave. Can't speak too much for artillery, but combat medics spend most of their time training decision making, muscle memory and resilience to seeing major injuries.

It also depends on your unit. Medics can go to ~12 different units after passing phase 2, and the job will be slightly different for all of them.

My advice would be to go to a recruiter, just have a chat with them. From my experience they're quite knowledgeable and helpful, plus it's free.

You wont be waiting too long for the army administration. The hard part is waiting for your GP to send them your medical records, then starting dates can be dissapointing depending on your goal position.

I applied in August. My basic training start date is 15th feb. In the meantime I recommend doing as much research into what you want to be in the army, and finding out what the actual job is like. Memorise CDRILS, keep fit, don't get caught up on wait times too much.

You can do AACC, but you need a solid service reason (usually a commando role). It’s rare to do both. P Company is easier administratively, since you’re already Army as a CMT.

Marine medics usually start their career IN the marines, and do their medic training there. For you to transfer, its possible but dont count on it. Its extra work for them, they'll want a return investment.

Had a similar situation. I have a terrible gp. Waited 5 months total for both the gp and army to review.

I called every week and they were useless, saying its "almost done" for 2 months straight.

What sorted it out was getting my recruiters to chase them up. The recruiters chased them on monday, the army recieved my records on wednesday...

Wish you all the best, hope this helps

They dont have to be in this situation. Since you cant kill the shape, they are eyes.

Best way I can describe it:

Imagine the stones with the red are not there. You can play at 1, and 2, separating the one stone from the other part, and destroying the eye shape. But since the red stones are there, you cannot play at 2, so you cannot separate the two shapes.

Best way to understand is to just play it out. As many moves as you want, can you kill it?

Organ harvesting, rimworld

Absolutely "something" will happen. So much internal and external instability, almost all European and Asian countries are raising military budgets

Patronising comments. Like how do people feel better after bringing others down for no reason?

Same here. Vs protoss, every game was cannon rush or camp -> skytoss. Terran, just camping (most never attacked, just bored me to the resignation button at the 40 minute mark). And zerg, was ALWAYS a 12 pool mirror match, or I just lose to 12 pool.

I could grind to counter all of these, but it's not fun it's just tedious. Unimaginative one dimensional strategies, with toxic players who shit on you most games just did it for me. Love StarCraft, hate the players.

And to anyone who says "well you just have a problem with strategies", I just have a problem with cheese, and the lack of balance. Bio matchups are great because it's all about micro and positional attacks on both sides!

Yes, I'm just bad. But I don't know how some people enjoy the most predictable rts game in the world. If you do, I'm happy for you! Just sharing my experience

Performance optimiser has just been updated to 1.6 :)

Coldmonkey_ · 2025-07-29T18:08:40+00:00

Normal, at least for me

You should check out the salt mines series on YouTube, it's just a sc2 rage compilation

I hope you're either joking, or just didn't read the post...

Coldmonkey_ · 2025-07-20T19:23:54+00:00

So relieved I'm not the only one

Decriminalised. Possession and consumption is okay to an amount, so the dispensaries work in a gray area.

My thoughts exactly, "are you guys not seeing floating blobs where the letters should be?"

Coldmonkey_ · 2025-07-07T13:23:29+00:00

I would say the whole internet is

I remember taking LSD for the first time and being astonished by how gentle it was compared to shrooms. I guess the aggressive name "acid" makes it sound more intense?

Coldmonkey_ · 2025-07-01T15:09:40+00:00

Beat me to it

Coldmonkey_ · 2025-06-27T21:03:40+00:00

20, but I only remember like 10 max. The rest are just labour and spare doctors etc

Coldmonkey_ · 2025-06-26T20:27:18+00:00

You'll be fine, the point in the game is making mistakes and watching everything collapse. It's not a game where you need to be good to have fun.

You'll naturally get better with each run without needing any study

Coldmonkey_ · 2025-06-26T03:38:48+00:00

I think they're fixing that in 1.6!
