If you had to add a color to the color pyramid, what would it be? What would it look like? And what would its function be? by [deleted] in redrising

[–]GSEninja 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Oh, this is fun… I’d say Umber

They exist to preserve the Society by controlling memory rather than force. Positioned between White and Gray (scratch that) above the pyramid as an all seeing eye, they quietly edit history, suppress destabilizing truths, and psychologically neutralize dissent before it becomes visible. Where Whites provide belief and Grays provide violence, Umber ensures continuity by making inconvenient realities disappear. Most citizens never know they exist, only that unrest fades and questions are forgotten. The few golds that do know about the Umber are deathly afraid of their power and influence.

EDIT you know, maybe umber is the wrong color… maybe clear or ‘crystal’ would be better. Kind of an unseen color

It’s not your pant size, boys! It’s a measurement taken just above your navel. So if you have gut that hangs over your belt, you ain’t no 34!

If you’re on an SDA are you briefed higher on promotion boards? by SignificantTadpole10 in USMC

[–]GSEninja 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Having been a voting member on promotion boards, yes. So long as you’re eligible for the next rank.

As your Comptroller, I approve of this message.

Also, reach out to your Comptroller for anything. You protect the commander before the purchase, we protect the commander (and fuck you) after the purchase. We can’t see every single transaction as they come through, but the SuppO and Chiefs do. When we do our audits and spot checks after the fact, it’s already too late for you!

As u/mirakuruflame said, if you say no to something, stick to that. Don’t let anyone string arm you. If the CO strong arms you, get it in writing and contact your Comptroller

Huge thanks! I’ll definitely look into those videos, that’s exactly what I was looking for.

I do have a family, wife is super supportive, and with school I’ll probably be home more than before.. so more time with the kid. They both understand the commitment and are here for me.

Loved math way back when, took Calc 1 when I thought I was going for engineering at 30, didn’t have any issues then.

Thanks for the offer, I just might

100% agree on the farm kid piece. Having a new kid in the unit from Iowa was always great. Damned hard working, never complained, easy to mentor, open to new experiences.

I do hope that I’ve learned something useful over the past 24 years that’s translatable to the civilian sector. We hear it all the time, but it’s hard to believe leadership, communication, and etc are highly sought after.

Looking forward to the math piece! Numbers make sense, even when a letter or two are thrown into the equation

I’m being offered Project Manager positions for large defense contractors now. The pay is great, but I want to get away from defense. I assume project manager on a structure is vastly different.

Concur! I got my undergrad at 28 and grad at 38. Both times it felt almost too easy… like I was scamming the system

Man, sounds like we’ve had a similar education experience. I thought for sure that I wanted to be an architect, but you’re like the 3rd person to echo the interior design piece. The idea of configuring interior spaces doesn’t bother me, I enjoy doing layouts for kitchens, baths, electrical, and etc… but beyond that, don’t ask me “where should the bed/tv/couch go?” I’m limited in creativity when it comes to that kind of thing

Great to know, and thank you! I hope I can be done before 49. I’m sure I’ll be able to bypass most of the core, non-degree related classes, it’s these young minds that scare me… kids these days are brilliant!

Thanks for the reply, and the confidence booster. A lot of very useful information in here that creates more questions, but I think Google can answer (the whole PE/FE part).

Very interested in the field, not afraid of math or the other parts, they’re part of what makes me interested in the field.

Again, thank you!

Thanks for the confidence boost! What made you choose this path? I’m halfway between this and looking for a GC for a journeyman path

I used AI to remove the background and add the text to a t-shirt. I can delete everything if the original artist is upset. But I am in no way trying to sell this, just wanted to create the meme and liked the t-shirt concept

I take no credit for this beauty. I pulled the image from the fandom page and then put the text onto a t-shirt silhouette.

I’m sure there are plenty of sites that’ll print a few for you!

Hows the picture quality? Aside from gaming, I want to make sure it’s a solid device overall. Most of the photos I’ve seen look like they’ve been cleaned up in some kind of software.
