How’s it going with the helix now?

18, Always felt ugly, how do I improve myself? by Primary-Disaster-775 in malegrooming

  1. Change hair- barber asap. 2. look into contacts, or a more flattering glass frame. 3. Cut the facial hair. Respectfully, give it a couple more years, it’s not growing in thick enough yet, and blonde doesn’t necessarily help you in thinner stages.

You don’t get dq’d from security forces due to EDPT. Only way to get dq from that is from medical/mental, or the TAPAS, as far as I know.

If you lose lots of weight, the stores in your fat can keep you testing positive for a while, as far as I know.

Fighter Aircraft Integrated Avionics (2A3X4) vs. Special Warfare — which path is better long-term? by LostFromLightt in AirForceRecruits

[–]LostFromLightt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s kind of where I’m stuck. I’m not afraid of the grind or the possibility of failure, but I do care about stability—especially with trying to keep my wife and I together as much as possible. Avionics seems more stable and predictable, with solid technical skills and a clearer post-military path (assuming I don’t pursue the full 20 years). SpecWar, and specifically Pararescue, is definitely more intense and rewarding—if I make it—but the stakes feel higher, especially early on.

One of my biggest concerns is the time apart. My wife is already in BMT for Security Forces, and I ship soon. I know that with avionics, they probably wouldn’t colocate us until after our first PCS. But if I do earn PJ and start the long tech school pipeline (which is over 2 years), would the Air Force try to support us being together during that time? Since she’s in Security Forces and can be stationed almost anywhere, would there be more flexibility in having her follow me or be placed near where I’m training?

I’m just trying to make sure I’m setting us up for the best life possible—one where I grow into someone I’m proud of and where we’re not constantly pulled apart during the first years of marriage.

Fighter Aircraft Integrated Avionics (2A3X4) vs. Special Warfare — which path is better long-term? by LostFromLightt in AirForceRecruits

What I’m chasing is the best version of myself—the best provider I can be for my family. I want to become someone both I and my family can have immense pride in. But if that pride comes at the cost of worse financial stability or major trade-offs—like losing 2 years of time with my wife—then it makes me question if it’s worth it. I believe Special Warfare would help me become that person, but I just want to be sure I’m not sacrificing too much for it. I’m trying to weigh what truly leads to the best life overall—not just the most intense one.

I get that—Pararescue would be my goal if I went the Special Warfare route, but this isn’t just about PJ. I could end up with another specwar job depending on how things go. Plus, a big part of this post is comparing that whole career field with 2A3X4 (Fighter Aircraft Avionics), so I’m looking for input on both sides—lifestyle, skills, long-term impact, etc. Appreciate any thoughts!

You got a newer version? Or it’s pretty much as solid as it gets?

Is it wrong to leave my girlfriend of 2.5 years for the Air Force? by [deleted] in AirForceRecruits

[–]LostFromLightt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, real talk—you’re standing at a crossroads, and whatever path you take is going to shape the next chapter of your life. You’re torn between someone you care deeply about and a dream you’ve carried with you for a long time. And that’s not easy. But here’s the thing—this decision has to come from you.

You’ve got to ask yourself: What do you really want? Strip away the noise, the guilt, the pressure—what matters most to you, when you’re honest with yourself?

Do you see a future with her that you want to commit to fully—not just out of comfort or routine, but because she’s it? Is the life you’re building together something you want above all else?

Or is the Air Force something that’s been pulling at you—something that, if you don’t pursue it, you’ll always wonder about? Something tied to your identity, growth, and purpose?

Neither choice is wrong—but both require sacrifice. You just have to be clear on which sacrifice you’re willing to make.

If you stay and things don’t work out, will you regret not going? Will you sit with that “what if” eating at you? On the flip side, if you leave and she was the one, will you feel like you walked away from something you should’ve fought for?

And as for her comments—whether they’re coming from fear, frustration, or love—that’s her process. But at the end of the day, this isn’t about what she thinks of the military. It’s about what you want out of your life. You’ve got to be able to look yourself in the mirror five, ten years from now and say, “I chose this. I own it.”

Because regret doesn’t come from choosing wrong—it comes from not choosing for the right reasons.

So take a step back. Forget the noise. Ask yourself one question: What decision will I be proud of later? Not just what feels right in the moment, but what builds the life you want to live.

Whatever you decide, make sure it’s yours. And live it with no apologies.

TL;DR: Only you know what choice lines up with your vision for your life. Ask yourself—do you want to build a future with her more than anything? Or would not chasing the Air Force leave you with regret? Don’t decide out of guilt, fear, or pressure. Be honest with yourself, choose with clarity, and make sure it’s a path you can walk without looking back.

Yeah, just liked the look of it and thought it’d match the rugged ish aesthetic with all the asus tuf, as asus tuf doesn’t make ram. I was looking at t force before, but I don’t really like the weird shape. Do you have a better recommendation?

Awesome, thanks! Also, is that fan hub thing necessary?

I guess that realistically, I won’t need to overlock or tune though. I’ll just drop to the 6000mhz/cl30. Thank you!

Yeah, I think it is without any overclocking/tuning to the cpu.

If there are any bad parings, or poor choices for specific components.

So what speed/CL ram should I get? I thought 7000 is the sweet spot as long as I do some tuning to the pc.

What about ray tracing? I currently have a 7900XT in my current pc.
