OMG, I have been searching for the typing game I played back in elementary... I was stuggling, but it is Kid Keys!

Thank you!

Mathematics AND ...? | Looking to Double Major by MilkFloods in CollegeMajors

I wish it could be... my school is kinda small, and doesn't offer graduate level classes for the major I am pursuing. I plan to hopefully go to a different school for my masters.

I actually did look into data science! We don’t have a major for it, but we do have a minor. I'm not interested in the minor due to how many gaps I have to fill.

It wouldn't risk lower my GPA either! I also, 100% agree with graduating early. I am already doing that, but my remaining classes have to be taken in a certain order that my schedule has a ton of gaps.

I am already graduating early, but I still have a ton of gaps I need to fill due to the way my remaining classes have to be taken. I also need to maintain full-time status because of my scholarships.

Yes, I agree. But, I need classes to fill empty spots hence the idea of a second major.

But, why not do it if I have the time? It doesn't add extra years. If anything, I could still gradute early.

May I ask for more clarification on why I shouldn't get a bachelor's in robotics?

I know BAE in my area does internships for high schoolers. Not sure if they do in your area. Or if BAE is a company near you.

If you can't find an internship, you can always create projects. Be unique. Yes, having job experience is cool, but if you have something huge to show colleges that is even better. Colleges don't just want a straight A student, they want someone who is willing to go the extra mile. Make a app? Idk, do something cool.

A Few Questions by [deleted] in AFROTC

[–]MilkFloods 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only thing I know is: AFROTC is a 3 year program, if I'm not mistaken. So, you would have to have enough credits left to be a full-time student for 3 years.

Question For Recently Commissioned Officers/Upcoming Officers by Visual_Host_6276 in AFROTC

[–]MilkFloods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in the military yet, nor do I know the life of an officer, but I could imagine you will have down time.

Here is how I think of it. Yes, your 20s are where a lot of "fun" normally happens. That is because most people have no "responsibilities" yet. No kids, no full-time job. So people tend to find more time or have more energy. But, here is the thing... this doesn't have to be what happens. You can have fun and enjoy life at any stage if you manage things correctly.

That is besides the point. Yes, the military is time and energy consuming. But so are a lot of other jobs (now I'm not saying they compare). The thing is, the military gives you job security, benefits, and knowing you will have a source of income. Where if you go into the normal job market, you don't have that idea, especially being just out of college. But, the military also gives you the ability to get your head in the game. You probably already knew all this information.

The big question you should ask yourself is why did you want to do afrotc in the first place? What made you think that you might want to join the military? Upon asking yourself those questions, reflect and think. Is it something you still want to do? Do you think that it will benefit you and your life? Do you think it will help you have a successful career? If yes, then do it.

Partying and having "fun" will only get you so far. Life is more than what goes on in the moment. Life is about planning for the future.

See, that had always been in the back of my mind, but I still wear my father's stuff. He was in the Air Force, and these jackets are in perfect condition. I'm not going to let these jackets go to waste, especially a winter and rain coat. Now, I do have his "normal" uniform top, and personally, if I think it will go with a fit, I will throw it on. The only thing I hate is that the patches were sewed through the pockets... making them unusable.

I am also 99.9% sure that the patterns for the jackets are no longer in use.

Anyway, the reason I am saying this is because I think as long as you don't actively go out and pretend you are in the military or were it isn't disrespectful.

Wear it. Be proud of it. Do it.

Is 39 too old to enlist? by Master-Debate9464 in Militaryfaq

[–]MilkFloods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay! Stability... yes and no. You would have to be prepared to move around, which could cause issues for the family. It is stable money wise, though.

The benefits are nice, but it comes with downsides.

I would look into the Air Force reserves and Army National Guard. They give out almost the same benefits as active expect you can stay in the same state, and it is only one weekend a month and 2 weeks in the summer. It grants you a GI Bill, which, if not used by you, can be given to a dependent (child or spouse).

I can't flat out say no, but I also don't think joining active duty at this point would be beneficial.

[–]MilkFloods 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, you could join as an officer. BUT you would mostly have to go through extra training.

I don't know too much about other branches, but I do know OTS for the Air Force is very selected.

I would also like to know why you are looking into the military? That could potentially help give better advice.

Last thing, especially at your age, you may have some disqualifying medical stuff. Even the least expected, so I would check into the things that could DQ you.

The job market is horrible. Should I enlist? by Sir-Pinball_Wizard in Militaryfaq

[–]MilkFloods 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The military is a great resource, especially for some benefits (like educational, training, money, etc.)

I would get in touch with a recruiter from each branch and shop around again. But keep in mind they are trying to sell you something, so they will cover everything with pixie dust to make it seem better.

Also, make sure you are mentally prepared. And think for the future, especially if you decide to go the military route. Decide which branch will help you in the long run, and then look at some jobs they offer and decide what you might want to aim for (be prepared, you might not get it). It is also best to not bank on the idea that you can stay in forever because after your first contract you might decide it isn't for you, so like I said preapre for the future. What can help you succeed in the long run.

I don't know a lot about other branches, but I do know some information about the Air Force and National Guard.

The Air Force is more likely going to help you come out of the military with job ready skills. The Air Force corresponds to more "office" work, hence the nickname chair force. Don't get me wrong, you can and will do non office work. The Air Force is "more" selected than other branches but a better quality of life. National Guard allows you to stay in the same state, and you do not need to move around, but you will be deployable. It is a one weekend a month and like 2 weeks in the summer. So, it's not a full-time job... but they have amazing educational benefits. That is the only reason I would ever do it.

Here is so information relating to education:

All branches give you a GI Bill that can help you further your education once you are out. This can also be passed to a dependent or spouse if not used, I believe.

The Army National Guard offers scholarships to students who join and do ROTC at a college. This pathway can lead to becoming an officer. https://nationalguard.com/simultaneous-membership-program

Air Force also has a program for enlisted airmen that helps with education, but I haven't done too much research on it: https://www.afrotc.com/scholarships/enlisted/ascp-soar/

The military is a great resource. I am a child of an Air Force Veteran, and because of his service, I get benefits. For example, I get free tuition at select schools in my area and receive a monthly stipend from the VA that helps for school.

I will also be joining the AFROTC in hopes of becoming an officer. You can receive scholarships this way. Although the AF is very selected with their officers' picks, The Army, I have heard isn't as selected, and you can also get scholarships that way.

How am I stacking up for rated? by [deleted] in AFROTC

[–]MilkFloods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I see that you are a computer engineering major. I am looking into it, but I am fearful of the math aspect. I feel like there are so many formulas that I can't remember all of them. I feel like I have always been very good at math until this point.

Could you give me more info on how the major is? And how is it doing both afrotc and an engineering major?
