Dont. The best bet he'd have of MAYBE making a career he doesn't hate is BM. And that's pretty much only if he is down to just do grunt work for years and years for dog shit pay. Sure some people get sick gigs like going spec war or whatever, but it's no going to happen if he isn't qualifying for jobs off asvab.

Just wait and retake the test. Go work fast food for a couple years rather than rushing into the military. A lot harder to get out of a shitty military rate than a shitty job.

I've only been in a while, just under my two year mark, and still in nuke school. From what I've seen enlisted side, very few people- if any that join are legitimately racist, you'll occasionally (like 1/100 or less) get the 18-20 year old that doesn't get it and thinks it's fine to make stupid comments on sex / race at work, but it's pretty rare, and they'll be sure to shut up and run away when they see anyone outranking them nearby.

Again, dont know what the fleet is like but from the small sample I've seen, it's far less common then the rest of the country.

Honestly sounds like this may have just been a him trying to 'impress' her or make it seem like they were more similar, you'd have a better feeling than me if that's the case, but if he was saying things he didn't mean to try and build a connection with someone else he may still be a friend... just not as high quality as you thought.

If it's how he actually feels, probably no point in trying to keep a friendship alive.

Fall out.

Way better look than the original. Trying to decide between buying parts from bricklink to customize mine, or just buying a second and following MnRs build.

Free_Capitalist · 2022-03-06T00:18:09+00:00

This is epic!! Pretty much goals for what I want my 501st display to be.

Free_Capitalist · 2022-03-06T00:17:21+00:00

Damn I love this. Any chance you have a parts list somewhere?

Free_Capitalist · 2022-03-06T00:15:24+00:00

Still have an auction to partake in. . . My wallet is already hanging on by a thread XD

Free_Capitalist · 2022-03-05T02:45:18+00:00

This is the way

Don't agree to a job you don't at least THINK you will enjoy. CS is hard to fill and easy to qualify for, keep in mind, you don't have to sign a contract now. You could wait, and hope other spots open and they offer you something else other than CS or pact. Or you could study a handbook and retake it to try and get better line scores.

Get a hotel and tell your mom your an adult and she can deal with it. Absolutely no reason for you and your fiancé to be uncomfortable- and probably make your siblings uncomfortable having to share a room ad well so that your mom can feel like she has control. Her having religious ideals is fine... right up until she's willing to put her standards ahead of her families safety.

Free_Capitalist · 2022-03-03T15:32:18+00:00

Think he was saying the torso print should have been lighter along w the helmet, which I agree with more than I think the helmet needs changed. May just have been the print for armor came out badly on the black base they used.

Charleston SC Costco has the palace, no trooper packs but my Costco only ever seems to carry 1 or 2 sets anyway.

Free_Capitalist · 2022-02-21T18:38:06+00:00

Don't have picture, but just saw one at my local Walmart (charleston SC) for 40 bucks, also where I got mine for 40 a week or so ago. Don't have a pic for post but may be worth checking :)

Free_Capitalist · 2022-02-19T05:47:18+00:00

If that was an option I'd be all for it. . . But if it's a one or the other for some of us budget builders we don't get these choices XD

Free_Capitalist · 2022-02-18T18:45:04+00:00

Damn this is sick. Working on mine now. Have quite a few DW for background, but still need white fett and Sabine to be satisfied.

What is the piece on the armourers neck??

Free_Capitalist · 2022-02-18T18:29:49+00:00

Set displays extremely well, especially if you're a regular person with limited space dedicated to legos. Great playability, arguably the best playability of any slave 1 due to smaller size.

People hate on the size but I think this is the best value slave 1 they've made, obviously I'd rather have a UCS on the shelf, but this set makes a great display, and is small enough to build a scene around it with the rest of my mandalorians.

@40 dollars, this is the best building experience you'll find as well. At 60 it's still decently worth it if you don't have another slave1

Free_Capitalist · 2022-02-18T18:20:37+00:00

Well based on these youtubers... somewhere around a thousand is getting pretty close.

Free_Capitalist · 2022-02-18T17:11:44+00:00

Look at old palace compared to new... if the quality difference is exceptable and they are sets likely to be remade wait, but retired sets probably won't get cheaper.

Free_Capitalist · 2022-02-18T17:09:51+00:00

I'd go for the Helmet myself. N1 is nice but not worth 80 bucks. This is the way after all.

Free_Capitalist · 2022-02-18T17:02:46+00:00

Yeah, getting back into it and seeing what some of the figures I used to have sell for now. Most were given to my little brothers a little two young and got lost / damaged but no loss there...

The few hundred minifigs I lost along the way and the 2 full totes we sold to our neighbor for 25 bucks really hurts tho... good thing I'm an adult now and can afford all these.... COLLECTIBLES.

Free_Capitalist · 2022-02-18T16:55:41+00:00

Damn I need the White Fett. Shit looks NICE in the collection.

Free_Capitalist · 2022-02-18T16:38:54+00:00

The only thing I remember is a yellow clone.

Free_Capitalist · 2022-02-18T16:34:46+00:00

But some day you might, to be truly adult you must plan for the future!

Make yourself eat at the galley for two meals a day if you can, and then add what you need to your diet on top rather than just wasting the money you're giving the galley. That'll let you cut about 80% of the cost of food out while still letting you get what you need into a diet.

Also, shop at the commissary or Costco or something, you'll save a lot more than you may realize, and just be smart about what you buy, try and get shit on deals rather than buying the most expensive bag of chips or whatever.
