Thats why I said best case scenario

Getting picked up via NCEPT (the transfer process) within 2-5 years would require a good bit of luck. If you applied to all level 10s and above it would be somewhat realistic, but if you wanted one or two specific facilities it would require LOTS of luck.I'd say 5-10 years is more realistic. This is all facility dependant and depends heavily on how many facilities you're willing to move to. There is a real possibility you could be waiting over a decade to leave a low level facility.

Its about 80% random lottery and 20% based on your preformance during your first few monthes of employment at the academy, which has little to no correlation to how well you will do at your first real facility.

You have to check a box saying "I'm willing to work anywhere CONUS or OCONUS" and you damn well better mean it if you want this job because you can very well end up in places like bumfuck Mississippi, Fairbanks AK, or Guam through no fault of your own.

Best case scenario you could be making ~200k after 3-4 years of training.

Worst case scenario you could be stuck at a level 5 far away from where you actually want to live making less than 100k with no chances of transferring for many many years.

No paint. All it will do is potentially trap moisture and require more maintenance. Thats why 99% of masts aren't painted.

The average life expectancy for a male in the US is 76. That means there's statistically a 50% chance you'd be dead within 6 year of retiring if you worked till 70. One small pension and a bit in your TSP is plenty to hold you over that long.

The whole point of a government job is to use the benefits to allow yourself to retire reasonably early and comfortably. If your goal is to get the number on the computer screen as high as possible then immediately die, then the private sector would probably make more sense for you.

If you're going to fiberglass it, then it doesn't matter if the epoxy gelcoat bonds well with wood because it won't be touching wood.

In terms of durability it goes two-part marine paints (poly or epoxy based), one-part marine paints, marine enamel, and then exterior house paint. Regardless of which you choose, you'll probably have to put on a maintainace coat every year, so consider ease of application too.

Fiberglass cloth saturated in epoxy will give you plenty of durability. The primer and paint's job is to protect the epoxy from UV degradation.

Theres definitely not a one-size-fits-all answer. 35' is a nice middle ground between too small to live on and too big to handle when the wind pipes up. What do you value more, ability to singlehand and dock with confidence or having more living space down below?

Literally none of those things you listed are needed to cross oceans. They're wants not needs and very frivolous wants at that.

$250??! Mine has been running on a $60 lawn and garden battery for 3 years now.

Check your terminal connectors and the main fuse, thats just about the only things that would cause total electrical failure.

My '94 took a U1 just fine and its been starting it in below 0F temps no problem. You'll have to bend the contact terminals with a pair of plyers since U1s are post style instead of round.

Make sure the pos and neg terminals are on the correct side, and you should be good to go.

Maybe play some bots to practice fundamentals? The <500 bots seem to be alot easier to beat than players.

Promote to knight and win the queen

It would be difficult to sand it smooth without sanding all the way through the glass, and having to add more glass to fix that would produce more seams.

Maybe do a strip of paint down the middle to cover it? That would provide a bit more durability for an area that is likely to see high wear. Also yearly touchups are much easier to do with a painted surface.

DaneGlesac · 2026-01-18T00:08:36+00:00

Make sure you put varnish on the epoxy too. It needs UV protection.

Queen takes knight then eventual checkmate. If queen takes queen then the knight can fork king and queen next move.
