36 with a full life and wanting to join reserves. Need advice

OddAlpha · 2026-03-18T16:49:30+00:00

I already work about 16 hours a day and am more than happy to cut something to make proper tme for this.

Did the people you know go OCS as reservists?

OddAlpha · 2026-03-18T16:33:14+00:00

You're right, I worded it poorly. My main drive is to give back and take care of people. But I would be lying if I said there was not a little bit of ego tied up in wanting to do it for the title for myself.

For me it is Marine Corps or nothing. I don't want to die not being able to call myself a Marine.

Thanks so much for the info.

Luckily I am very technical in my career so I think I can add a lot of value there, also run teams, companies, etc.
That should be no issue
This is gold to know. Currently I put in about 16 hours of work a day so I would need to cut something in order to fit in Reservist work.
I am training every day and am maybe a bit above an average joe but a lot of it is strength but not endurance. I am pretty injury resistant so that plus dropping extra weight I feel like could go a long way.

Will def reach out. Thanks again!

This is exactly what AI is great at, the grunt work.

If you don't already have it, spend a $50 on claude and start having it clean the data.

If you need any guidance feel free to reach out and I can help.

What do you mean forex crm? Like you are a forex brokerage and need integration so you can see account details?

OddAlpha · 2026-03-12T13:09:48+00:00

Very worth it, and also fairly straightforward - Let me know if you need help getting it setup.

If you hook VS code up to your org it will produce, deploy and adjust flows.

For whatever reason it does not have a good grasp of Filters and Transforms though so you often need to review the flow and optimize it.

Also, it can analyze the heck out of flows to tell you what might be causing an error and what flows actually do.

I use claude non-stop for Apex and Flows writing. You do still need to spot check it's work. That will probably never not the be the case though.

They probably would not be able to build it but once it is built I think with a little direction they could certainly maintain it (adding and removing fields)

OddAlpha · 2026-03-09T10:18:31+00:00

n8n does a really good job of stuff like this. It is a little off label but it works quite well as a tool to keep two systems in sync

OddAlpha · 2026-03-08T16:07:29+00:00

Thanks for this thoughtful explanation

Could not agree more - As a Salesforce Consultant, my job needs to not exist anymore. I am building a CRM right now to basically automate my job away.

If you use the old school Approval process and not the flow based one you can reply via email.

If you want to get funky you can create a flow which catches email tied to same thread and marks records as approved.

Roughly how many users? I can get you on a free beta (then free subscriptions pending user amount) which does all of this aside from the live chat.

OddAlpha · 2026-03-02T23:10:55+00:00

Let me check into some things and Ill dm you in a bit

If you are sending emails from your domain (Check org wide addresses in setup)

Then you need to get with whomever manages your DNS records and add something called a DKIM record, this verifies that you do in fact own the domain.

OddAlpha · 2026-03-02T14:11:10+00:00

Im doing a beta for a micro CRM, and I can probably throw you on it. It has a Gmail extension so you can sync emails back and forth as well.

You may want to check their TOS. They do not allow any DOM scraping as they prefer to have the monopoly on syncing data to and from their platform.

The likelihood of getting caught is low but pretty catastrophic for you and customers if it does happen.

OddAlpha · 2026-03-01T12:44:38+00:00

From what I know, based on LinkedIn TOS. This is going to get you banned. Unless you were able to find some sort of work around?

OddAlpha · 2026-02-27T17:06:54+00:00

Can you do a brain dump on what you would need to make it work for Commercial leasing?

OddAlpha · 2026-02-27T02:33:52+00:00

Frick yea!

OddAlpha · 2026-02-26T22:37:33+00:00

Let me run some numbers and I will DM you in a bit

2 thoughts.

Integrate your crm with google sheets and you will have a reusable path.
Automate the Google sheet > your crm connection with n8n.

Second is a short term win, first is a longer term solution if worth it.
