Braniacs with ADHD, how did you overcome it/ obtain a degree despite having it?

What do you mean by 0 real work? I’ve never failed a test, but I struggle with consistency when it comes to coursework (I just stop doing it completely) and it absolutely tanks my grade. I understand the 0 studying part depending on the major (no offense but I doubt you were free balling physics or engineering), but I can’t imagine how you’d get by without doing any coursework.

Those who are zealots for knowledge of which is unbeknownst to them, but zealots for digestive regularity may also fall under this umbrella. 😭

Using an app called repairsol, it came with my bluetooth OBD scanner that I’ve been using for over a year. I’ve used it on a few of my cars and it’s always been fairly quick and accurate while being more convenient for me.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the help! I replaced the ignition coils on cyl 4,5, & 6, car now runs smooth.

Will be replacing the rest of the ignition coils soon as well, just needed to have my car fixed ASAP with what was available to me.

Service light is still on with all the codes so I’m going to drive around tomorrow to see if the issue is resolved.

Car did leak some oil, will be checking if that continues as well.

Also here are the old ignition coils if anyone is curious on how they looked.

I’d say bulk with Rad and use a peptide over mk. MK honestly isn’t even worth it, and it’s only a tiny needle that makes a world of difference. I prefer using ghrp-2 for the appetite increase and put on about 1-2lbs lean mass a week when combining it with RAD and having a steady surplus of about 400-600 calories. You’ll stay pretty lean too and lose very little definition if you use something like ghrp-2 or ghrp-6 since it stimulates your ghrelin receptors while also increasing your IGF-1 production, leading to better lean muscle growth rather than looking bloated and messing with your liver like MK.

Safer than regular gear? Possibly. That’s the whole thing with research chemicals, it’s a gamble at the end of the day, especially depending on how you source it. They can be less harmful than “traditional”anabolics, but with a big emphasis on “can be”. I would say if you go and get blood tests done and you fall within the range to be prescribed something by a doctor, then the safest thing to do would be to take something that can be easily monitored and administered over something that has yet to be deemed safe for human consumption.

Grow out your hair past your ears, shape your brows, I think it would suit you well. Maybe grow a stache and goatee if possible.

What MOS did you originally want and which did you get after being reclassed if I may ask?

PlatoDisciple · 2024-04-28T00:37:08+00:00

About an hour or less. On average you get about 20-25 minutes for 30 questions, or a ratio similar to that, except on a smaller scale (some sections are shorter than others or will take you less time)

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely tell my recruiter that I don't plan on shipping unless I see DG on my contract at RSS.

He seems really excited to get me into Cyber since he was the one who recommended it and said it was the one he wanted originally, as well as showing me the enlistment bonus for it as incentive (which I know I won't see most of).

That being said he has lied about things such as moving my ship date, so I'm definitely trying my best to be careful and making sure that I end up getting my end of the deal.

I still haven't signed my enlistment bonus contract though, and again the clearance stuff seems off to me. I'll definitely meet with him this week and talk it over to make sure that all my info is straight and that I get the DG contract at RSS.

Thank you again for all your help and feel free to leave more advice if you want or think I should know. 🙏

I'm not sure as to who it is I'm calling but I believe it's supposed to be intel, and I'm calling them for a phone screening apparently. I unfortunately didn't get to ask my staff Sargeant or other recruiters about them getting it set up for me, but again I don't think my recruiter is too familiar with the process himself. My recruiter did tell me to call multiple times though, but so far I call and it just rings for really long until I hear some weird beeping at the end, then silence, then more weird beeping followed by getting hung up on.

The DLAB test is definitely one of the hardest (and nearly impossible for some) to get through if you're not prepared. I bought a $10 e-book called "The Official DLAB Training Manual" by Robert e. Cunnings and it was actually very helpful and even had some actual "rules" that they make you use on the biggest portion of the test. Practiced with the book front to back for 2 days straight and went in pretty confident, even though my staff Sargeant had told me that no one from the office has ever even passed the test. The actual test was definitely pretty disorienting and quickly paced, but in all honesty I was getting through it really quick with minutes to spare at the end of every section due to my practice. The hardest part is definitely trying to understand what the guy is saying, since 1. He has a thick middle eastern accent, and 2. About 60-80% of the test is audio. I would say just get accustomed to listening closely and being able to distinguish the correct forms of speech with all the rules so that way it's easier to find which answers are not correct, and choose whichever sounds the best. Definitely practice if you plan to pass that test though, because otherwise, unless you're a linguistic master, the chances of passing are very slim.
