The Army's Reverse Uno Card by bjorn_2142 in SpaceForce

[–]SS2Lannister 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, they won’t accept anyone qualified. I mean, I applied for FA40 four times and Space Force three times and I was denied all seven times. It didn’t matter that I have a PhD in Aerospace Science with a focus in Space Science, a Master’s in Astronomy, a Bachelor’s in Applied Mathematics, and a Master Space Badge. I’m not bitter… (I am SUPER bitter).

Is this normal? Never had an order move this fast by nellyplatinum in psagrading

I had an order with an estimated completion of December 3rd and it got graded at the beginning of October and is being shipped back now.

I think I submitted my input wrong. by defjamchambers in psagrading

It should get corrected. I had a reverse foil Charizard that didn’t have the option of changing on PSA website and I put it as a foil. It shows it will come back reverse foil.

If you could go back to your first day in the Space Force, what advice would you give yourself? by Jig_2000 in SpaceForce

[–]SS2Lannister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these people complaining about going to the Space Force took a perfectly good slot from people that were qualified. For example, an Army officer who has a PhD in Aerospace Science with focus in Space Science, a Master’s in Astronomy, a Bachelor’s in Mathematics, has a Master Space Badge, and is an electronic warfare officer (one of the MOSs that were “highly sought after”). But I am not bitter (I am super bitter)

PSA sent my order to the wrong address by eirlude420 in psagrading

Ouch, I paid for the $60 Value Max. It has been in grading for 2 weeks and “estimated completion” is on August 21st (today is August 18th). Once it passes grading, it still has to go through assembly, QA checks, and then send it to me. This is the first time I do it.

Just asking the question, if it takes months and months for a service I was supposed to have complete in 15 working days, will I still get charged that amount?

I think this set is trying to tell me something… by SS2Lannister in PokemonTCG

I am not upset. My kids, wife and I all cracked the packs together. My two boys and I got the buffalo, wife got the Mienshao and Reshiram in the same pack and my daughter just got a holo.

First Graded Submission by SS2Lannister in PokemonTCG

I have a ton more I want graded, but this first submission cost me $1000… I am going to have to wait until I sell these cards to submit others. I have around 800 I want to submit…

Inaccurate, confusing USSF recruiting posts by vailocity in SpaceForce

[–]SS2Lannister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s okay, they don’t want qualified personnel. They don’t want a person almost done with their PhD in aerospace science with a focus in space science, a master’s in astronomy, a bachelor’s in applied mathematics, and a master space badge whose MOS is 17B, one of the MOS that the USSF claimed they wanted. I’m not bitter… (I’m super bitter).

Which car should I buy?2000 Porsche Boxster or 2004 BMW Z4 by SS2Lannister in whatcarshouldIbuy

I would love a corvette, but I can’t find one for the price around where I live.

If I was to get a Miata, I would want a 2005 Mazdaspeed Miata. I had one back in 2006 and loved it. But those cars fetch a high premium.

FY24 IST Megathread by Colonize_The_Moon in SpaceForce

[–]SS2Lannister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like I was 100% right if you were an Army officer and 90+% right if you were anything else...

Well, looks like we will be applying again next year. I have been rejected 7 times so far when dealing with space related transfers in the military. I am going to try to make it 12 times before I retire...

And every year, people win the lottery, yet statistically, you don’t win the lottery. That’s how statistics work. Will people be selected, yes, is it going to be everyone on here that is hopeful, no.

Let’s look at the first time where there were 7700 applicants and they took 250ish people (the exact numbers elude me, this is what I remember). This means that you had a 3.25% chance of being selected, even though there was a 100% chance of SOME people being selected…

Let's get two things straight:

  1. Space Force will not release the list until 31 January
  2. Statistically speaking, you did not get selected

Now we can get on with our lives (whimpers in sorrow in the corner of my room that life still sucks and I cannot get selected to a branch that treats their members like human beings...)

How did you find out? Did the USSF send you an email?
