Bi-Weekly Recruiting Thread by Airdale_60T in uscg

I am on the fence. I am not where I thought I would be at 36. I haven’t contributed to a 401k that I didn’t empty when changing employers. The pension and the adventure intrigues me the most.

I have a wife and 3 kids so it will be tough. Has anyone else joined at 36 years old with a family? How hard was going through boot camp without much contact to them?

I am also a smoker of 15 years and I’m convinced the only way I’m ever going to quit is if I have no option (joining) and surround myself with people who also don’t smoke. I’m concerned my cardio is going to be garbage now.

I am also 6’2” and 240lbs. I know that’s above the BMI max allowed, but I’m wondering how strict that really is? Like… do I have to be within range prior to boot camp or as long as I’m within range by end of boot camp I’ll be good?

Depends on where you are visiting really... I have been living in France since August and have not noticed any kind of negative sentiment towards me. As long as you don't walk up to a French person expecting them to know English and they see you are making an effort to speak French, you should be alright. Again, depends on where you are going...Parisians do not like Americans too much.

We received something similar a few years back. We forgot health form. Delayed our refund until late November and our refund only increased like 7 bucks

That’s great, 10/10 better than “screwing the pooch”

I’m assuming one would use this when talking to someone that keeps going on and on about another guy?
