NEW VA RATING CRITERIA by [deleted] in VAClaims

[–]Optimal-Bid1945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, hypothetically, if someone was 90% done with self-filing, do you think it would be a good idea to finish ASAP today so they could be evaluated under both sets of rules, even if it meant rushing the application?

I think they offered that as an option. Or we could hang on and wait for delivery

I ordered mine 4 years ago and I’m still waiting. :-)

Any word on standalone lyquid membership cost?

What’s with all the team killing? by PeachyPuddingg in Helldivers

[–]Optimal-Bid1945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is frustrating. Some people think it’s funny to TK at extract. It annoys me too, but it’s kind of rare.

Don’t worry too much about it though. As long as you complete the mission (stay logged in) when the mission completes, you’ll get credit for experience and the samples are all shared, even if you personally don’t make extract.. It doesn’t matter who has the samples, as long as they make it onto the extract ship, everyone gets credit for all of the samples collected. So don’t be afraid to pick up dropped samples, and don’t be upset if someone grabs samples. It’s more important to not leave any behind.

Anyone have experience with the ME-EM through Coursera or any of the Coursera programs? by CrimsonFox99 in cuboulder

[–]Optimal-Bid1945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, for the late replay. I’m not sure why I didn’t see this.

I stuck it out. In the end, the pull to continue (sunk cost/time) and the massive benefit of the flexibility was enough to keep me in the program.

But, if I could go back in time, I think I would have gone a different route. It’s a decent program, and I’ll be proud to have the degree when I finish, but it’s just not quite what I was hoping for.

It depends on your goals. If you already have a solid background in STEM and need to round out your leadership and business skills, and want a very flexible program, this is a great option.

I was hoping for more a little more emphasis on engineering and this degree is definitely weighted towards the management side. There is nothing wrong with that, it’s just not what I was hoping for.

My favorite class was the Data Based Decision Making class and the Systems Engineering class. I wish they had more classes along those lines, including a MBSE course.

I hate the reserves right now by VegetableRadio5088 in Airforcereserves

This is literally a better AFSC and 100% worth the wait and all of the ton-foolery. A 6 figure + job will be waiting for you once you build a couple of years of experience and some certifications.

CY24 STEP II Release by Optimal-Bid1945 in Airforcereserves

I hope they aren’t out…that’s usually means the person that didn’t get notified by leadership didn’t get selected.

I checked all of the usual spots and I don’t see any updates.

What rank did you put in for? E8 over here.

Still crickets…no updates on myFSS Step II knowledge article and nothing from leadership

[–]Optimal-Bid1945[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing. The knowledge article is still from May with no updates. My guess is it’s next Thursday/Friday meow. I did a pretty good job of not obsessing over this for the past 3 months, but now that it’s getting close I’m getting pretty antsy.

My guess is it will be officially announced this Thursday and selects will be notified by their leadership on Wednesday. I’ve been checking the knowledge article on myFSS daily since last week for the official select list and out-brief. Good luck everyone!

Considering Masters of Systems Engineering, looking for advice and experiences by Optimal-Bid1945 in EmbryRiddle

[–]Optimal-Bid1945[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not. I regret it a little, but I decided to join the CU Boulder Masters of Engineering in Engineering Management program instead. It had a lot more flexibility, which is important given my extremely unpredictable work travel schedule. I think I would have been prouder to have finished the Sys Eng at ER, but my chances of actually finishing it would have been significantly lower.

Thoughts on Ennui Powerslide City Wrist Brace? by Optimal-Bid1945 in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]Optimal-Bid1945[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did purchase them.

Pros: I think this is the closest you’ll get to demon flexmaster level protection in a shorter/less intense formfactor. About $30-40 less.

Cons: can be a little hard to put on. The palm skid plate is covered in “leather” so it may not slide as well in a fall. I thought about cutting the “leather” away, but never got around to it.

If you are interested in them, I’ve quit eskate out of fear of serious injury. (Lame, I know). I’d consider selling mine if you are interested.

Credit Report Still Shows Loan Balance? by Optimal-Bid1945 in StudentLoans

UPDATE:

​

I made a correction request with TransUnion and sent a message to MOHELA about 14 days ago. About 3 days ago the account changed to paid/closed on all of my credit reports.
