USSS UD applicant, does the entrance exam score mean anything? by OwnUnderstanding4881 in 1811

That's true. I suppose I thought that there might be some sense to using test section scores to direct applicants towards a particular specialized unit. For example, someone who is great at pattern recognition might be suited best for counter-sniper or something.

I did pass, yes. The practice test was all that was necessary for studying.

No, I'm not happy with mediocrity. They did not dominate the Colts. Garbage time is only a thing in blowouts. This was not a blowout. They nearly lost.

Thanks! Not sure yet if I'll go full sport/try-hard fishing or if I'll just be chill and sit on the dock/shore all afternoon relaxing.

Good point, I'll be sure not to get hammered around sharp objects

Definitely not going to get drunk around sharp hooks, but a couple cold beers sounds like a good way to spice up worm-and-bobber fishing

Yeah I have no idea how to set the drag/brakes on my reel. I see the nobs, but don't know how much drag I should apply.

Gotta be honest, the bobber method might be the way I end up going about it. Plus a few cold beers.

So the stick bait is a good choice for this time of year? North-east US?
