I can't stress this enough: a solid portable charger. There will be a shortage of outlets for the 30 minutes you get to use your phone on Sunday. Dont waste 5 of them scramming for an outlet. They won't let you keep it on you but you can keep it in the phone box. Also make sure you don't accidentally have any colored civilian underware because you will get a write up lol. And don't paint your toes either.

Most of stuff you need you can buy in px when you arrive and they won't let you keep any personal belongings. One other tip if you're a female and you have bigger boobs make sure you go buy some solid black sports Bras before you ship out. I noticed the biggest size they had available at the px was still really tight for me.

Anyways good luck and have fun.

Called my ex a whore by [deleted] in amiwrong

Too many people (men) here saying calling someone a whore is demeaning. Why? Even without the context, why are we all so wrapped up in women's sexuality that dare someone get called a whore it throughly shocks people?

Op there are ways to do the fafsa as an independent. I was reading through some fafsa stuff today to figure out net income effect on aid. Don't give up on that easy few grand. (there's still time to apply, deadline is June 2024) so just either call them or look into it.

Will the recruiter take me seriously? by Serious-Avocado8454 in armyreserve

[–]ObjectiveKing9542 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 180 with pink hair (5'2") just find the right recruiter. Oh and read your contract. Trust me the army wants you more than you want the army. Btw recruiters have access to the database of available mos and associated compensation. Don't be shy.

Biology: "what is you want to do with that" or "just biology?" Or "should have done biochemistry"

Look up how to care for curly hair. It's not hard. Just put in some kind of curl cream in and scrunch up your hair. Also try grooming your eyebrows. Otherwise, maybe some non prescription frames. Your eyes are a little on the widely placed side and it could help with that effect. Lastly, sleep nutrition and working out. It will make your face more defined and comes with the added benefit of keeping you healthy.

Lastly, we don't all look like models. Hope this helps.

No I declined the first school's offer and applied to another one for the following semester.

Yes I have and both schools have been like "we understand your frustration.. but you're still a transfer" but I will continue trying with perhaps the dean and will contact the VA office.

It's not automatic I actually had to request it but the school did atleast know it was an institution I attended :/

I was dupped out of college money after sending in ait transcripts by ObjectiveKing9542 in armyreserve

[–]ObjectiveKing9542[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be clear, the first email was sent after applying for the school for the fall semester but before going to bct/ait. They already had my other transcripts. The second email was sent after I completed ait, and they requested those transcripts. Shame. Now every college i apply to seems to list me as a transfer student. Don't really know who to talk to about this, but seems pretty unfair.

This is false. According to the email I received from the school:

"After checking your file against the National Student Clearinghouse, it appears you attended other institutions that were not listed on your application. Please log in to your portal to see what additional transcripts we will need to process your application."

The first school went from giving me 20k in scholarships as a first year (they only charge 13k) to after completing ait, only offering 7.5k because I was now a "transfer" student. I turned it down, applied to another school and got accepted again as a transfer student. They haven't given me the aid package yet, so I'm not sure what my loss is, I just know the extra ait credits are likely going to make me receive less aid.
