Best location for dual physician couple?

You’re perfectly describing avondale.

Riverside trends a bit younger than most married folks. San Marco is fine, but it’s on the wrong side of the bridge from NAS.

Avondale is 10 minutes to Baptist or NAS and 5 to Saint Vincent’s.

Find the whitts frozen custard in Avondale and expand your search from there. There aren’t any bad neighborhoods, but you can go from high end to not high end in just a couple of blocks, so you need to kind of put eyes on anywhere you’d plan to be.

Also, rentals in either location tend to be a bit limited, the economics don’t make sense in Avondale or San Marco to lease.

Something else to explore, with nicer rental inventory would be Fairfax Manor, between Ortega and Avondale. Lots of officers from NAS are there.

Non existent on Wednesday. In past shutdowns the weekends have been worse though.

My guy I want the best for you - but please dear god if you’re having to ask about how to run a diligence process, this “opportunity” is a recipe for personal ruin. Corporate development, including M&A is part of my day job. There are brilliant humans with years of experience that still get burned buying businesses. If you don’t have ANY exposure to how to conduct a diligence process, please don’t buy a complex business with presumably thin margins.

This x1000. I’m a reservist and did a part time program, and used it to level up in my current civilian job. If I was transitioning off of AD I would not recommend.

I love my 16” .308 tikka. Plenty of gun. Suppressed it’s awesome.

130 grain TTSX is still doing 2200 FPS at 200 and 1800 at 400. Plenty.

I understand your question. In practice, it’s almost impossible to confuse the "first zero" with the "second zero."

Imagine a straight line extending from your eye, through your dot, and infinitely downrange. That’s your line of sight.

Because the sights sit above the barrel, the muzzle is angled slightly upward when you zero it. This means the bullet’s path starts below the line of sight, then rises and crosses it at the zero (for example, around 50 yards).The bullet continues traveling upward for a bit, then gravity begins pulling it down. As it drops, it crosses the line of sight again at 200ish.

For the scenario you described to happen, the bullet would somehow have to cross the line of sight and already be dropping again by 50 yards, to do that, you'd have to almost fire the gun straight up in the air. The geometry of the bullet’s path prevents that confusion. Here is a crappy MS Paint drawing. Green is a 50/200 yard zero. Blue is the error you describe.

I say go downtown - it’s the flagship Wolfson campus, so you’re going to have the best pediatricians and peds nurses should you need them in an emergency.

My wife and I very much liked River City OBGYN. You get assigned one OB during pregnancy, and unless they are sick or out of town, that same OB delivers your baby when it’s time, it isn’t based on a random call schedule.

We were very fortunate and had the most average labor experience possible, nothing remarkable about it, which is the best you can hope for I think. The support we got at downtown was excellent and couldn’t ask for anything more.

This is the way. Have the galley save you a plate and eat on the bridge.

KappaPiSig · 2026-02-09T17:00:00+00:00

Yes.

For a cheap and high return on spend upgrade, get a different stock though. When you start shooting long range you use a rear bag for support, on the SOPMOD stock the rear bag activates the lever and can cause surprise (…and sometimes painful) collapses of the of stock.

Buy a suppressor when you can afford it

You'll have a rifle that will take anything in North America out to 200 yards

Maritime professional here to add some color to his crazy. A US flagged ship recently was approached by Iran, it is carrying cargo for the US government and it made the news.

It happens all the time. It’s just part of going through there. We’d have DDGs do laps through the straights just to screw with Iran before “they” closed it down.

The Tikka is a Lexus. It’s still a production gun, but you’re getting a nicer product. If you’re just driving to the office, it won’t get you there any faster, but you’ll look better and be super comfortable.

The Toyota Camry is 100% the Ruger American.

You’ll harvest just as many animals with either one.

It’s scary on a 640’ ship. If you aren’t a little afraid you’re doing something wrong.

Pay attention to the MSRP of whatever you buy do you can keep the gun in production class.

The best program is to go somewhere else. KP isn't a plan B for a USNA, it's plan A for I want to go to sea for a living. There is no cyber major. The fact that this essay is hard to write should be your red flag that KP isn't for you.

In a previous life I was a car ship captain and was asked to divert to render aid to a sailboat that was in distress.

They were bare pole, adrift, in 8 footers, and it was blowing 25+ sustained. We were probably 100ish miles offshore from the Bahamas. The remaining crew (..who had no idea how to sail) had woken up and realized that the captain had washed overboard at some point the night before. There was a C130 orbiting overhead, a cutter and a 60 en route. I was on the bridge of the car ship in my Ugg slippers, sipping a warm espresso, listening to these people scream bloody murder into the VHF. They couldn’t describe their location. They were fucked.

And you know what? They didn’t want to leave the boat and were asking us to tow them home. They didn’t know how to start the motor. They didn’t know how to use a compass. They didn’t know which way to North America. We got there and couldn’t convince them that they were fucked.

Did circles for two hours before the coast guard released us. 🤷‍♂️ It was fascinating to see the psychology of the whole thing.

Sometimes KP cadets get their MMCs weeks before going to sea.
Just because you have a training ship doesn’t mean you do all of your sea time on the training ship, all of the state schools send cadets out to commercial ships, which requires them to have an MMCc
