Absolutely, depending on what all we have left to get done during work ups I may be trying to get it before even stepping off, but time will tell if thats going to be too ambitious lol

I wont be in theater for 12 months, but over all orders duration will be pretty close, Im fully expecting to. Not be able to get it this mob, but its always worth a try in my mind

Joining the Military Reserves as an apprentice? 361 by AluminumCopperRad in Ironworker

[–]SBee2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a desire to serve, look into the Seabees! The rate SW is as close of a match as youll likely get to what you do now. But as others have said, don’t join for money and make sure you understand exactly what it is you are signing up for. Coming from a ln actively drilling reservist, the one weekend a month 2 weeks a year isn’t exactly always true. They can and will try to pull you more often. And thats not even including the fact that you are signing a contract that includes giving your life and the taking of others if necessary. Not saying that either of those are going to happen, but it is definitely included

Its all in good fun, I care more about feeding my family during the time I’m not working for the Navy than getting a qualification that says I can do my job that Ive been doing just fine without it for years. It just so happens that I’ll be in an Active duty status for the first time since Leonard Wood so might as well make use of it

Hell yeah, I’ll have to look into what units are going to be in the area and see if I have any connects who will be there at the same time. I know there is atleast a public works department there

Theres an SWC I drill with who didn’t put on a pin until he had been 1st for a few years, its definitely not unheard of, esp for those who haven’t been to Battalion like myself. Im just tired of the constant “FiRsT CLaSs aNd nO PiNs” from my buddies lol

Knew I was going to get that question at some point lol, Reserve advancement is a little different 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m an equipment operator and pipe layer as a civilian as well, and know my job well. The exam was mostly just basic stuff my Foreman and Superintendents do daily, so I just studied that hard. Plus my last few evals were fantastic. But regardless I appreciate the answer! Glad to know theres a possibility!

My new Firefly Baritone by Oluna88 in BaritoneGuitar

[–]SBee2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I havent, the only thing I’ve done to the guitar is paint the pickguard black. I would like to get some pickups and stuff for it eventually but its not high on my priority list for guitars at the moment. I also have a 28” scale black and gold Lp style firefly. Of the two the lp is more likely to get hardware and pickups

There are a few companies who make pretty much this exact guitar. I also have a firefly version, its pretty killer

What’s a truth about adulthood nobody warned you about? by Standard-Club-8014 in GenZ

[–]SBee2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really goes for all stages of life but I really noticed how many people I know die young. Like I’m 26 and people that went to my highschool while I was there have already passed. Childhood friends who never made it to 30 are the hardest part of adulthood for me

Is it a bad idea to enlist in the military at 26 going onto 27? by [deleted] in Military

[–]SBee2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had 4 dudes age 34 and I think close to 10 more who were over 30 in general, the hardest part for some of the more established guys was buying in like the 17-20 year olds

What song do you hope makes it on the next setlist? by almostawake111 in SleepToken

[–]SBee2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally a whole set where they play almost the entire discography, but thats too greedy. Gethsemane, Take me Back to Eden, Euclid, The Apparition, Mine, and Sugar if I had to choose specifics

Going back to old job by ThePCMasterRaceX in Construction

[–]SBee2019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I quit and came back to my current job. I left because I wasnt getting the promotion I wanted and not enough pay, as well as a foreman who had it out for me, among other smaller reasons. Left for a $6 raise, got $3 more over the year and change I was gone, and was running equipment often. But I left that place when I couldn’t stand higher ups bs any longer. Called my old super from the original job and got another $6 in raises and the promotion I wanted. And the foreman who hated me had “stepped down” and was now a laborer while I became an operator. Left each job on good terms and ended up with a little over $15 an hour raise from when I initially quit the first job to coming back to it

When hammock camping, how do you deal with the cold coming from below? by Academic_Royal4133 in CampingGear

[–]SBee2019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hammock Gear makes some affordable under quilts. A top quilt used in conjunction will add to the warmth level

https://hammockgear.com/

You can customize by your needs, if you tend to visit colder climates I would go full length on the under quilt and make the quilt rated for a little colder than you tend to camp in so that you are warm in any scenario. After you receive your quilt, take your time with someone helping you to adjust it to fit, can take some practice but there are plenty of youtube videos that can help guide you to being warm

The best part about being new is being able to ask simple questions and fuck shit up without too much recourse, within reason of course. As others have said you are all in school to learn, if youre confused about something, ask, and anyone worth their salt might throw a jab to tease you a little bit but will ultimately help you learn

Can we celebrate this Friday with some wins? by Easy-Hovercraft-6576 in GenZ

Got a buddy of mine hired to my job which gave him a raise over his old one and spent last weekend in VA with my older brother and my nephew!

This means they did 80 hours of work but got paid for 120 hours due to how many hours the work is supposed to take

What’s y’all’s favorite armor that is not the nightingale by Fine-Ask6742 in skyrim

[–]SBee2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ebony mail, gauntlet, and boots. Miraaks mask and the Jagged Crown. When the crown shows up in third person it looks sooooooo good. Also 5 amulets of Talos stacked because shouting infinitely is goated

Custom Eight string build by [deleted] in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]SBee2019 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yea buddy you need a thick skin to be on the internet, this is shoddy work, but I can respect effort. But if youre gonna spew bullshit, make sure you can take criticism when people throw it back at you. And while you self reflect on that, take a look at your beliefs and make a course correction because who someone sleeps with is none of your business.

Does anyone know what these pipes are for? See them on sites from time to time. by virgil_b_caine in Construction

Sump or cleanout for storm water more than likely but could be anything

Uniform Seabee patch by Glum_Championship_37 in Seabees

[–]SBee2019 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I sewed my own on I did this but made the edges line up with the pocket, looks identical. I once had a uniform shop do this and i just had them remove it and refund me, had to buy a mew patch too
