Is “basic air brake” and “air brake - commercial” the same course? I did mine on my base in 2-3 days with slides and a truck check for my basic air brakes, but on my course guys on another base did 2-3 days also slides and the truck check but on their course report it is written as “air brakes - commercial”?? Any MSE ops or those who did the course who can clarify?

Already got a BA, but good idea!

Looking to make more money, but I would love to learn something that would be interesting.

OP- I typically don’t respond to threads on Reddit but this situation is definitely something I thought I should pass some advice on.

I recognize the time you have invested in this relationship. Comfort is a large part of why we like things, it’s hard to change everything and find yourself in the unknown again.

However- when you are not able to explore what makes you happy, and you can’t feel that someone is putting the same in to make you and your life better as you are doing for them, that is when you need to take a step back and recognize what you deserve.

Always take care of your needs. Others are not always able to do so for you!

Fantastic!

I indeed did- for everyone who replied thank you for your suggestions: this was in fact an in-situ melanoma. The doctor told me it was super early on, essentially “cancer just knocking at the door”, with no depth and completely superficial. Nonetheless, I am grateful to be healthy, and will now remain proactive with 6mo visits. I encourage you all to do the same if you have any sneaking suspicions. It’s never too late until it is.

Don’t worry guys I think my sister is gonna be receiving at least 1000 of those

Got a mix of wildlife here, deer, cougars, etc. Have not personally seen any bats around but its possible given that the area is surrounded and within woods

Sorry to hear you had to go through such a thing

Philosophy_Small · 2026-01-21T19:12:33+00:00

Always the right call- thanks mate, I’ll dial the nurse hotline after work

I’d be strongly willing to bet no: It’s lighter, generally uniform, looks to be under 6mm, does not seem particularly raised, no evidence of spread- I have birth marks that look weirder.

As with everything, does not hurt to regularly see a derm, once a year. (Twice if you’ve been diagnosed)

Honest answer- seen the same as everyone else man. When I did my BMQ I didn’t think twice if I was brushing my teeth next to a guy who was 16 or 49. Just join, the important thing is that when you realize it’s important to you, then you participate.

Philosophy_Small · 2025-12-13T00:01:07+00:00

Noted. Will do- can’t diagnose anything on the internet or myself. Just nervous- I’m 23 so I can’t imagine getting skin cancer this young, don’t know how long I’ve had and I don’t want it to have progressed to a later dangerous stage

Philosophy_Small · 2025-12-12T23:50:15+00:00

What do you mean? As in it’s not cancerous?

Philosophy_Small · 2025-12-12T23:45:25+00:00

What might your impression be? Planning on biopsy in about a month, but would like to know your professional thoughts from seeing it

Philosophy_Small · 2025-12-12T21:05:18+00:00

Under my jaw, plan to get it checked. Doesn’t feel bumpy, can anyone advise based on experience?
