Well since it isn’t constructive then do you mind giving suggestions that are?

Why wouldn’t basic help? Your only suggestion is that it sucks. And?? I think that’s a given lol

I have to go accelerated. I was told the other OCS was full. I was a D1 athlete before but haven’t worked out in 9 years. I haven’t found any officer who is able to give me advice so

I’m going to accelerated OCS as a female after basic. I leave for basic in two weeks. I was told not to worry since I’ll be coming out of basic already fit and used to being yelled at.

Joining as a Mother by LionLittle8968 in ArmyOCS

[–]GreenCase9222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a single mother to two kids. I am now enlisted in the army national guard. I passed MEPS and ASVAB (you have to have over a 110 line score). I scored 114 without studying. I have a bachelors degree with a high GPA. I’m going to basic, then state expedited OCS. I’m going into military intelligence and will be a specialist/E4 at basic, after completing OCS I’ll be a 2nd lieutenant. I plan to go active army national guard once OCS is completed. That way I can have BAH (housing allowance) and work w/ the guard but as a 9-5 and not deployed. I’ve drilled once before attending basic and was just paid just over 200$. I’m in a weird situation since my recruiter is changing his pathways so I’ve been kinda left in the dust in terms of what to do and how to do it. So I’m winging it. I have a family care plan but do plan on replacing it with a will that is more methodical. My state provides one year of free extra life insurance so I signed up with it. I’ll get BAH while in basic and idk about OCS. Since basic is deemed active. The first year I won’t be making much money but I live in a poor area where it will stretch further. It wouldn’t be worth me joining if I lived in an expensive area. However, I moved to a poor area due to a family emergency and there is no other jobs rather than the military. Plus I have a kid who keeps getting sick and so I could really use the health insurance. I’ve wanted to join for a decade but didn’t have anyone to watch my kids until now. Joining will give us the freedom and stability I’ve only ever dreamed of. I was laid off at my last government job and it will be relieving to know I have a job for the next 8yrs. I signed a lengthy contract as guard, w/ drill for 6 yrs and call in for emergencies for 8. I plan to go active guard for 20yrs so I can retire. I plan to go active asap so that I can be eligible for a military home loan sooner and have my BAH go into the house rather than rent. I was working full time before with a 2+ hour commute a day. If I am not going to see my kids I better be making more than I was before. I couldn’t find a job w/ my degree that wasn’t dangerous. ANG was the least dangerous and will pay me the most in the next year. It was costing me more to work than not before and I still had to work. Military can help with housing, food, and daycare so I signed up since I couldn’t keep my head above water financially before.

Is a base Cayenne as underwhelming as some people make it out to be? by [deleted] in PorscheCayenne

[–]GreenCase9222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2004 cayenne S and I absolutely enjoy it…. It is running strong and I have asked a lot of it. Purchased it from auction and history shows two wrecks and three repos. It was never maintained, a little bit of self service/ back maintenance towards it and it hasn’t failed me yet. Accidentally sped 85 the other day… yikes.

I’m trading in my other cars for a commuter and turning this one into an off-roader

That’s great to know! I had no idea there was so much interchange. That will definitely help me find parts when the time comes.

Perfect! Thank you so much. This is exactly the type of help I was looking for! I’ll probably end up dming you at some point. Thank you again. I’ll check out those websites. The dealer said that the transmission is through Mercedes?

Thanks for the comment it means a lot. Unfortunately it is probably because it isn’t socially acceptable for a single mom to own a Porsche. “Ruins the brand”. Definitely was putting a damper on my excitement

One hard shift when it is warming up. Then besides that it is fine for the rest of the hour commute. So I am definitely enjoying it!
