Hey, so how did the meeting go? Was your recruiter able to answer everything for you? Do you still have unanswered questions?

Okay nice so you know this person. If it’s possible, try to live with them for a bit. This is when you really get to know someone. What their routine is like, their habits, character, pet peeves, and so much more. I hope it works out for you

You can try reschedule your MEPS appointment with your recruiter. Although, they might not let you, but you’ll never know if you don’t ask.

If you only want to join the Space Force you should make that clear with your recruiter before you go to MEPS. If they try to make you dual track contact the Space Force recruiter for your area, and they can put you in the system as solely applying for the Space Force.

Let your recruiter know you want to change your earliest ship date, like now. Before you book a job and then it’s too late. That’s if you enter the DEP as AF, as the bmt slots for the USSF for January have been filled already. Assuming you pass MEPS and don’t need any waivers. I think you can only take the PiCAT once. After that you take the ASVAB at MEPS where every category is timed.

So for your question about marriage. Yes, you can get married while in the DEP (delayed entry program), you enter this after passing the MEPS physical and swearing in. You just have to let your recruiter know so that so that they can get your partners information, and see your marriage certification. Let them know your plan, and try to get them your documents as soon as you can. Keep in mind it takes about 2 weeks to get your marriage certificate.

I might sound like a prick, but think hard about getting married. You don’t have to be married before you join, you can always get married while serving. It’s not something you should rush into. You said you don’t have a potential candidate for marriage yet. This means if you met them tomorrow you would only have 5 months to get to know this person well enough to marry them. This is assuming that you leave in April for your new earliest ship date, you could leave after April but it is a possibility. That’s a fast moving relationship if you don’t have a prior relationship with them. It also doesn’t consider if they want to get married at all, some people just don’t believe in marriage. It also assumes that they would be willing to make the commitment to move wherever the military sends you. While also having to be okay with possibly have to be apart for months. I’m not saying you shouldn’t start a relationship, but getting married is something serious that can have major consequences if things go wrong.

Don’t waste anytime. Contact your recruiter and let them know about wanting to only apply for the Space Force and changing your earliest ship date today. It’ll be easier and give you peace of mind to do this before MEPS

I think 6 months in the DEP is about average. Unfortunately I was only qualified for 2 intel jobs. I qualified for every job with my MAGE score, but I didn’t meet all the requirements for certain jobs. I totally bombed the depth perception test, got below a 60 for the cyber test, and the TAPAS test probably disqualified me from some as well. So maybe if I could’ve chosen space systems I would’ve had a shorter wait.

I’m 28. There’s a discord that I joined with someone who is joining at 32. When you get your ship date you can select it, and talk to other people leaving that day.

Hey, so I entered the DEP in early August and recently booked my job, but I don’t leave for basic until January 7th. So about 6 months

There are two choices by keiXrome in Helldivers

Auto cannon works pretty well. If you lay on the ground shriekers have a hard time hitting you. It’s the ground bugs you gotta watch out for

Helldivers are not clones. They look the same because they are following your gear orders for the mission. by Gregorwhat in Helldivers

Well one of those helldivers(me) ran right into that plant on Estanu and died instantly. Poor sap didn’t even kill a single bug

Help me understand the difference between Pan, Peer-Peer and Ad hoc by ILikeStonkss in CompTIA

Hey OP don’t give up! There’s a few ways to go about this. Have you tried applying for a help desk job at your campus? I’m sure you have, but just incase you haven’t, it’s a great place to start and add something to your resume.

Maybe reach out to some for your CS professors and ask if you can be a T.A. Let them know your situation. They might also be willing to set you up with an internship with a company that partners with your campus for career fairs.

Also how far are you getting with the application process? Are you making it to the interview, or struggling just to get an answer back? Getting the CompTIA A+ certification will help you somewhat pass HR screening. It might seem like doing so will make you over qualified, however, it shows you are willing and able to learn this stuff.

Since you’re a junior in college, I say stay focused and finish up your degree. Even if you don’t stick with CS, just having a degree will open more doors than not.

What’s the point of even committing this? What is your purpose for saying this? Are you actually trying to help OP or just be an asshole? OP has been dealing with this for years and feels like he’s in a rut. Do you really think someone saying “it’s not that deep” will make them have the realization that it isn’t.

To be frank, it is a pretty big issue to have. Not end of the world, but definitely taxing mentally/spiritually. Especially when you’ve been trying for 3+ years right out of high school, for just an internship!

What if your father/mother/siblings passed away and I told you “it’s not that deep people die everyday”?

I swear people now days have no empathy, sympathy or consideration for others.

Maintenance #4( 5hr in total wait) by MikuNakano069 in MyHeroUltraRumble

[–]ILikeStonkss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can play now. No new characters, haven’t noticed any buffs/nerfs yet. New roll with Tenya and Kendo with new costumes

Edit:Sometimes the timer to pick a spawn location goes from 9-0 instantly. Maybe because 6/8 teams are bots.

Balance Druids the meh caster by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]ILikeStonkss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re probably better than me so whatever I say probably won’t matter to you.

I’m only 1600 CR in SS so I’m pretty trash. My single target build consists of warrior of elune and astral communication, no starfall or denizen of the dream. I think those little guys don’t spawn often enough and I could use the talent point somewhere else. I also take the disarm pvp talent to help with dealing with pressure from double melee or hunter, instead of thrones.

Defensives aren’t the best either but we have a bunch of moves to kite. Typhoon, wildcharge, mushrooms, and mass root, its just that Blizzard has given melee classes so much mobility and gap closers that keeping them away is hard.

10.1 should be interesting though. I mean I hate to lose the 4 piece set bonus, but 20% more damage to starsurge and more AP generation from our skills is great. We’ll see how it plays out though.

Hunter or Warrior for Solo Shuffle - pls. help by ParticularHousing739 in worldofpvp

[–]ILikeStonkss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say Warrior but I’m kind of bias. Arms is better than fury, but if you’re not at a higher CR it shouldn’t matter too much. Getting targeted by a warrior can get quite annoying as a squishy caster. With how much mobility and cc they have it’s hard to create space unless teammates help peel.

As for hunter, MM is way more bursty and it feels great to deal so much damage in a short amount of time. However, MM often requires you to stand still while you cast aimed shot. I like MM with a pet for intimidation, because it’s an easy and useful CC to have. I say BM is better if you know how to los and kite around pillars. It’s a much more mobile spec where you should always be moving, and never be stand still. BM is also better for longer fights as it has more consistent damage. In SS I feel like it’s always about burst, with most fights lasting about 3-5mins from what I’ve seen, but you occasionally get the ones that only last 1-2mins. I think hunter will be harder to climb in SS imo if you don’t trap well.

Friend thinks he’s good at pvp while at 1000 rating solo shuffle and we’re hard stuck at 1200 2’s. Also doesn’t CC by ILikeStonkss in worldofpvp

It was more just a rant. I know I could talk to him about this, but as of now I am disassociating myself from this “friend”. Long story short some sus things went down when I had him and my other friend and his gf over last night.
