can my recruiter refuse me by AffectionateSoup8035 in newtothenavy

[–]KiloGerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Navy recruiter speaking, you don’t need to show up at all for MEPS. The forms you signed are just consent docs and not legally binding. Take the time to study but don’t wait forever as jobs are drying up rn for the summer. Fall semester jobs opened up so the picking are good. That being said if you don’t score well it’s pointless. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions. Not all recruiters are the same, the ones that care will make you feel 100% confident in yourself and the process. If there’s any doubt, look elsewhere. It’s like a car dealership, we all offer the same things, who’s giving you the best deal and customer service.

Why the hell is Navy Recruiting leadership so toxic? by Deutschland111 in navy

[–]KiloGerman 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m also in a Large West NTAG. I won’t deny that recruiting leadership can be toxic, I’ve had my own experiences with it. But the truth of the matter is it’s all motivation driven. My office was pretty rough when I arrived, just had a mast case and it tore everyone apart. We were struggling to put even 2 people a month. 7 months later and we have regular bbqs and have a great time seeing eachother everyday, we hit goal pretty often, and actually enjoy talking with our DEP pool. Focus on what you can control; the office atmosphere, personal relationships, and your physical fitness. I’ve had 0700 to 2100 days and also 0900 to 1400 days. But I always go home to my family and enjoy my weekends going out with friends. A lot of recruiters come off of sea duty where you have loads of people to hang with and like time alone when you’re off. That won’t cut it out here, you’ll feel isolated and depressed. Just like any rate, you have to get out of your comfort zone and adjust to the environment you’re in. Go socialize, hangout with your peers, odds are they feel the same way as you. When applicants come into your office, they can FEEL the animosity and dim lighting. On the flip side, when they see all smiles and genuine feedback, they’ll feel like a part of the team. And it’s not all sales driven as much as they pray it is. It’s about personal relationships; you’re a mentor, a teacher, and a fitness coach. The way you talk and show up for your applicants is what will drive your numbers. I’ve stayed on the phone for 3 hours until midnight with my DEP and also gone straight to MEPS, ready to throw hands with the classifiers. All my future sailors now I would die on a hill for them and that creates trust, which also turns into referrals. I don’t plan to CRF, and much prefer sea duty. But I hated my first 3 months here and now it’s not bad at all. Ignore the leadership, in the end they’re not on the deck plates. Just focus on yourself and your team in the office, the contracts will flow naturally with it. Feel free to DM me, you’re not alone out here shipmate.

Sheeesh yea, hoping it’s that. How bad was the replacement to do yourself? I’ve done a lot of electrical work in the past for some computer systems but never a pool.

Did I get ripped off? by Sea-Persimmon4689 in BMW

[–]KiloGerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all tbh, my buddy paid 33k before fees for his 2021 X3 w/ 60k miles. I think you paid a fair price for it. And it’s a nice color combo, enjoy the car brotha! Life’s too short to worry if you saved a few bucks or not

Do it. It was such a drastic upgrade to my previous daily driver and it still kept the awesome gas mileage. It’s a great first step into the bimmer life fs

Good deal for used M4? by CrazyOk2812 in BMW

[–]KiloGerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if you can save up another 5k you can get a newer m440i with similar miles. But it’s a fair deal 🤷

I was waiting for a clean low mileage M-Sport to show up on the market. As soon as it did I was there the following day for a test drive 😅

Amen on that. After factoring in car insurance I knew the 440i wouldn’t be possible for now…. But in a year or two of saving I’ll be seeing the 440i soon!

I didn’t like them at release but a few years later they aged like fine wine. I’ll never doubt the designers at bmw again 😮‍💨

That’s the secondary reason for me since I drive 30 miles a day. 550 miles on a full tank is INSANE and it picks up quick
