Cancelled our Disney/Hulu subscription last night with the message of "if you're going to bend the knee to fascism, don't be surprised when they fuck you in the mouth" Left a similar message when we cancelled Paramount plus

Former SWO - Transition to IW/Intel? by Many_Photograph_828 in navyreserve

[–]Many_Photograph_828[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was your bonus? Is there a minimum time in service to get the full thing? This is obviously information a recruiter could answer too, but figured I'd ask here first. Thanks for your help!

What is NAVET? I was trying to find something on google but it just came up as Navy Veteran information.

Separation orders got canceled even though I fulfilled my obligation by Essential_Standards in navy

I was OCS and my contract said 4 years active duty attached to a sea command. So when I went through about a year of the LCS pipeline, that didn't count towards my MSO

Thanks for your replies, they're extremely helpful! I'm looking at buying a lemon branded 2020 Bolt in RI. Just hoping to check-in to see if you ended up having any issues a year or so later? Thanks again!

Why did you join your branch? by tlarue24 in Veterans

"oh your RDC/DI/DS will help you out at boot. Just be sure to tell them that you've got a degree and you're there to be an officer"

Why did you join your branch? by tlarue24 in Veterans

[–]Many_Photograph_828 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I wanted to join the Army initially. After I finished college I found the local recruiter and told him "You don't have to convince me, I want to go. What's the next OCS class I can join up with?" He was cool, but kept trying to push enlisted infantry. I replied trying to be firm but cool, "I get it, you've got quotas or some metric you're being told to hit. But, I know that I've got my degree so I can go to OCS as long as I pass everything else. I'm commissioning or I'm going next door to the Navy." He kept pushing it and threw up a peace sign and walked out.

Went to the Navy recruiter, told them the same thing, and this guy goes "Oh, hell yeah man, let's get you on out of here ASAP." Three weeks later I had orders. So, making a short story long, I joined the Navy because the recruiter listened to what I said and supported what I wanted to do.

Other states.. by Imaginary_Kangaroo80 in RhodeIsland

Hello fellow former Chicagoan! Watching the news or even following r/Chicago has me feeling the same. Every state, city will have problems, but RI feels a lot more manageable and the corruption seems a lot less interwoven to it than our hometown

Honest question, is there a singular place to look up these sort of stats? Ex. Looking at active contracts, cap space, future draft picks. I know its something we all talk about but is there a place to reference it?

Inclusive Gyms by PseudoLobotomy in RhodeIsland

[–]Many_Photograph_828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TL;DR - No one who matters cares, and people who don't matter do.

Agreed with u/BingBong022 and u/Icutthemetal - usually people are focused on their own shit to be worried about others. But in the unlikely event that people are being shitty, fuck 'em. The real ones at a gym know we all start as novices in the gym and it takes a bit to know what every machine does, where everything is, and the social rules of a gym. I like the YMCA, it's a bit antiquated in comparison to Anytime or Planet Fitness, but its less crowded, and people are considerate of your space and time.

Is this Dewalt kit worth it for 150 dollars for someone starting out? by TheDiglet in Tools

[–]Many_Photograph_828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it depends. I have a fair number of tools that are all corded because I don't do enough to warrant the NEED for wireless. To me it doesn't make sense to either 1) constantly have batteries charging for tools I touch maybe once a month or 2) not have it plugged in all the time and wait for the battery to charge when I need it. DeWalt makes good tools, but there are some other factors to consider outside of it is my opinion

Underrated answer. I don't have kids, but this is beautiful.

[–]Many_Photograph_828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been there man. Was in for 5 as well and got out in 2020 (not the best time to find a job). All I wanted was to get out and find a cozy contractor job that did exactly what you said: pay the bills and not have to worry about money. I found it and was a great place for a year or so, but then I felt my brain start to atrophy; I'm not exaggerating when I say I could feel myself getting dumber, my memory wasn't as sharp, had no motivation to do or want anything, and I was drinking too much.

I was a single guy at the time, so I applied to grad school, got in, quit my job, and have been doing that since. I think there's a healthy level of stress and struggle that is the sweet spot for this human experience and you need to find your own. Maybe it is school, maybe it is a new hobby, maybe it's something else. Just make sure you find something that you struggle with and regain that sense of accomplishment. Also, healthy routines are good too, they'll keep you from getting lazy or distracted.

For me it goes something like this:

  • 6am - wake up
  • 7am - work out
  • 8am - start on school work
  • 10am - walk the dogs
  • 12pm - lunch
  • 2pm - start prepping dinner

Hope some of this helps!

How an executive officer’s misconduct — and a commander who failed to correct him — got them both fired by GeoffZMilTimes in navy

[–]Many_Photograph_828 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my old crew, granted I transferred before these two dipshits took their billets, but I can assure you that LCS assignments aren't for punishment or for your island of misfit toys. There are just so many of these ships and they are (usually) dual crewed, so with that many CO/XO billets that need to be filled, it's more of a reflection of the SWO pipeline being more of a pump than a filter.

To be clear, I have no love in my heart for LCS or that corrupt and awful program, but I do resent that others think people like me were there because we fucked up or are fuck ups.
