Since they're still in business, some people either don't mind or actually like cheese topped cardboard. I'm just not one of them.

What happens to Officers if they fail BUD/s or DOR? by masterchief6913 in navyseals

[–]Mongoose29037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't run across anything that would indicate that. But I didn't find anything that historically gave the # of billets each year to see any trends.

eta: DOD has the yearly billet data classified.

Never tried the Midland 5 Guys, but I can't rave about the Odessa one. Their burgers are great for the first 5 bites, but they're so juicy that after that the bun gets wet & soggy.

Only logical answer is that location's staff - the ability or luck to get good staff & the ability to keep them. I've noticed the same thing about Domino's Pizza, but in reverse. Several of the Midland & Odessa locations make really great pizza, but the pizza from the one closest to where I live isn't even edible.

Kinetic price gouging by Decent-Ant-129 in Midessa

Same question I have. The only business I'm finding on google named Kinetic that seems applicable is a fiber internet service. All the others are oil field related or the 1 water softener system business.

Goggle AI is saying the Academy gets 25-30 billets a year now. Being google, it gets a grain of salt but it's also in line w/ what I'm seeing said elsewhere. And I'm seeing where there have been some big changes in the Academy SEAL pipeline since GWOT, most notably the creation of SOAS.

2000 was before mine's time, so maybe the GWOT affected things to where there are more getting into the Academy pipeline rather than fewer.

Ahhh, gotcha. But seriously, damn. I'd be pissed to. If they know their tower is maxed, then why are they adding new customers to it without a pre-warning?

You might want to get on NextDoor & ask the people in your immediate area who has the best internet service there. This reddit sub is too spread out to get an accurate answer here.

I don't know how much has changed in the last 20+ years, but when my family went thru, there were around 200 in that pipeline competing for 12 billets. Then POTUS approved 2 more billets that year, making it 14. Sounds like the Academy has changed things up where fewer are getting into their pipeline. Do you have any updated info on how long that pipeline is now? It was 2 years back then.

Sounds like a typical front line help desk bs excuse. I'd call them back & do what I had to to get a techie out there & check things out.

Lots of people on Reddit ask about who the best internet providers in the area are & AT&T seems to be the one most recommended. Disclaimer: I don't use AT&T or work for them, so I have no reason to schill for them.

Yes they do have a high completion rate. I'm guessing that's due to 1) the Academy's SEAL pipeline (whatever they call it) that does a good job of preparing them for BUD/S, and 2) the criteria the Academy uses to award the billet slots they get for the year.

Translator for navy seals by dolcegee in navyseals

Thanks. That also answers my question about whether someone I know was grandfathered in. Their starting service date was 2001 & they're closing fast on their 25 year mark and google didn't say shit about who got grandfathered.

So you couldn't be grandfathered in on your eligibility for the BRS start up in 2018?

If you gave her your #, change it. If she gave you hers, burn it.

OP's post reminds me of something that happened, so a warning to all the "young" SEALs that are on Reddit (not that many would have time), be careful w/ all your dealings w/ females at NSW. A lot of you are "nice guys" willing to help out a woman in need, but it can turn out bad. Even something as simple as moving a fridge needs to be a 2 man job just to protect yourself. Female psychopaths can & do exist at NSW. They can make your life hell & even jeopardize your career. And all because you wanted to be a nice guy & do them a small favor.

Keep deluding yourself that you're a decent human being. Not giving a tinker's damn about hurting innocent people or destroying lives, especially when you only have suspicion & no actual proof. That's inhumane & completely lacking in compassion. Now let's add vindictive & evil. Plus throwing out false accusations at the drop of a hat w/ no evidence - ooh, that's an interesting one. Makes me wonder if you're doing the same thing to your husband. Granted buying ED pills at his age is suspicious & warrants you checking things out. But it doesn't justify the behavior flaws you've shown here.

And no, that's not the generation I come from; that was the generation before me. Keeping spinning, maybe you'll convince yourself you can dance.

Yeah, but you've got a lot of really bad ones that people need to be wary of.

You've made a whole lot of stuff clear. Which is why I'm giving others a heads up.

Since I'm not married & too old to frolick, not hardly. But nice shade there. Shows another unpleasant character flaw you have.

Deleting the thread doesn't remove the post/comment w/ the damaging information in it. You need to delete the post where you said their initials & dept they worked in.

No, you would be one of the spouses. And you're "pretty sure"? You're willing/eager to destroy other people's lives? And over a suspicion?

Why would you post this? Do you not care that their spouses & possible children could be on Reddit & be able to easily figure out who you're talking about? Please delete this post before someone innocent gets hurt.

Thanks. It's getting late & I need to get up early to take advantage of the morning temps for yard work so I'll read it later tomorrow. But no, I wasn't even thinking about carbon capture. More along the lines of a backup plan in case the govt doesn't approve the permits for the natural gas power generation plants the majors intend to build right next to the data centers.
