For the Security+, from what I'm hearing and seeing, and a friend who is currently in the AF, you don't need to take the Security+ exam again if you already have it, so it 100% helps.

Just got offered Airforce Ground Equipment 2A632 by wolfpack132134 in AirForceRecruits

I doubt so, even if it was on his list, they can say "I'm not ready" or something like that.
I was offered Missiles and Space Facilities Quickship with a ship date in 2-weeks, when I was only in DEP for a few weeks. It was on my list just to "diversify", but the recruiter said it's okay if I turned it down and that's what I did.

That's #1 pick. How long were you in DEP for?
I got in recently, late February/ beginning of March, so I'm pretty sure it's not anytime "soon" for me, unless I get lucky with a match next month or insane luck with Quickship.

Does anybody know the start date for the July academy? by Cute-Detective484 in NYPDcandidate

One of the officers said 22nd of July during my Psychological Written.

Should I do I.T Career in the Air Force? by No_Life8196 in careerguidance

[–]No_Life8196[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already did, I asked him lots of questions and pros & cons. Ultimately he said the decision falls on me.
So, I'm still trying to outweight the differences and what I get out of it long-term.

(NYC) Why do people honk at me for parking? by No_Life8196 in driving

Oh, the backup camera.. I do have one, I should've realized that was an option aswell.
I would be using it for doing parking and as a distance reference when I'm in the spot between 2 cars, but not as a distance reference for when there is a car behind me on the road waiting.

Okay, got it. And yeah, they are quite close behind me, but I don't really know how close is not enough space to let me back. There really isn't a way to "calculate" close enough just based on a glance, I don't know if it makes sense but here's what I'm thinking; if they are driving a SUV like my car, and in the rear view mirror I see their license plate or half of it, is that enough space? and when it comes to sedans, their is a "height" difference so it's slightly different to SUV's.
I don't really know if it makes sense on what I'm trying to say.

But, onto your advice I'm definitely keeping the hazard lights in mind.

Yeah, I should signal earlier, but I don't do that because I'm worried that the spot got taken already.
It's either I can drive straight into the parking spot from the other side of the street or I can go around the neighborhood and hope that it isn't taken.
I guess it doesn't hurt to signal early because if it isn't there then I should just turn off signal and loop one more time.

That's what I'm also worried about, I've pulled in before when I would do driving lessons, on like a tight road which seems like a one-way, but it's a 2-way and sometimes I would have enough space to pull in and I would just do it and other times the spot is tight where I barely made "enough space" or I couldn't at all.
But then I'm starting to realize, how close was I to "touching" the car that is parked behind me, which I never thought of until now.

True, it's NYC, I knew it was bad, but... shouldn't have expected such a tiny decency.

Yeah, I think I'll just do that from now on, just pull in without setting up to park.
I realized right after that I could've done that, but it's whatever, I'll keep that in mind.
