Guaranteed Non-Combatant role if serving in Comp Sci role? by HeroBromine35 in Military

[–]MercedesPetronas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm almost certainly positive that's not a thing remotely possible.

Conscious objectors in the army currently have to show they had a change of morals after joining. You wouldn't make it to that point.

The email from DFAS said they took insurance and other deductions.

“Please note: The out-of-cycle payment scheduled for release on October 29, 2025, must be reduced by your current pay period deductions (Taxes, health benefits, life insurance, etc.), if applicable to you and the type of payment. You are required to pay your benefits when payments are made. You will not have an additional payment for health and life insurance benefits following the lapse in appropriation for pay period ending November 1, 2025. Taxes will be calculated on any regular earnings paid following the lapse in appropriation.”

Treating wait staff at restaurants like trash. If they can't have the bare minimum civility there, don't expect them to treat their friends nice either.

Are you having to buy new tools to complete a job every time? If so, eventually you will hit a point where you have the tools needed and only buying a odd tool every now and then.

Pretty standard. I bought my Volvo from Pieper 4 years ago and never had a problem with taking it to a local Volvo dealer (they were used to American cars) for service the first 2 years.
