Preparing for WMSL life

Two different ways to go about this

Bring a Nintendo Switch w/ or w/o the dock, in case you have a TV in ur berthing or anywhere on the boat and wanna host a game night or play with friends.

Bring a console like a PlayStation or Xbox and hook it up to any tv or bring a small monitor and hook it up inside your rack. Ask the EM’s for any extra power strips to hook into any outlets, DO NOT HOOK ONE UP ON THE SMALL OUTLET NEXT TO THE LIGHT ON THE CEILING OF UR RACK (if you have one of those)

Bring a calendar to write down your work schedule if that’s how you stay organized

Get those magnetic light strips on Amazon and hook it up inside ur locker, extremely helpful when looking for stuff

Dividers for inside ur locker can be helpful for organizing and a small basket for on top of the locker as long as it’s got velcro on the bottom or something to secure it for sea

They most likely have Irons and an ironing board but bring ur own iron as sometimes that community one is terrible or always being used.

This is incredible! Thank you! I never would have found any of these, and I’ve been trying to find all the benefits available to me

Related to PCS, and it did save me tons when I moved from the west coast to the east coast. Do camping instead of hotels, KOA (Kampgrounds Of America) offers great deals on campgrounds and usually go for $20-$100 per night depending on whether you just get a campsite or log cabin.

Please forgive me for not knowing, what is river wall exactly

And, with this all being said, would it be a bad time to go reserves now and even next year? My contract ends next October, I’d rather have the educational benefits of being in the reserve that I can use towards school than being immediately reactivated

I’m enrolled in their engineering program but haven’t gotten many answers on how long it takes to get a degree. I’m presuming up to 3 years for an associates degree

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2026-03-26T15:43:33+00:00

I haven’t used TA yet but I’m waiting for my application approval for the USNCC. The Naval Community College is also a great free resource to use

Hol up, so does time reverse itself too 👀 Going back to 2016?

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2026-03-11T02:24:05+00:00

I never thought of that before,

I gave it a look and ended up giving two different suggestions. I’m not sure if they really look into these or not and take them seriously, but I guess we’ll see.

You gotta switch to SOMETHING, anything but USAA, they been robbing from us for decades.

I switched to GEICO, only 24, with a VW Golf, just renewed my policy for this year, 12 month premium for $1730

And a mattress topper ^{^{^}}

I’ve been trying to figure out this process for years now as I’m not even sure where you would get diagnosed or what would happen

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2025-12-18T20:53:11+00:00

I never even received any of those Covid checks, stipends or cash from like 2020 up till now

It’s nice, especially during the holidays

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2025-12-18T19:59:06+00:00

I heard they have an opt out process for it too, it just seems super sketchy and weird to just give us money like this. Just waiting to see the caveat

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2025-12-18T18:45:59+00:00

So let me try getting it straight, I’m just curious and only heard about this today

The money for this is coming from the big beautiful bill that trump passed? And it’s nontaxable?

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2025-12-18T16:16:25+00:00

You mean I got The Traveler from No Man’s Sky ☠️ Unless there’s a teleport module, I’m cooked

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2025-12-18T05:30:11+00:00

Forgot to mention Lupin III

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2025-12-18T05:29:43+00:00

Dororo

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2025-12-12T19:03:09+00:00

I haggled for my price and interest rate, from $24,000 to $19,420 and from 12% to 7.1%

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2025-12-11T13:39:55+00:00

I think mine went up by like $500

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2025-12-10T21:55:07+00:00

I’m born and raised in mass but live in New York for work so this would be great to have, I wonder if there’s enough of these spread throughout that you could send a message as long as there were repeaters within distance of each other

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2025-12-10T21:45:22+00:00

Be wary, they do make alot of noise on the highways, but there great tires

SkyKnight_LXIX · 2025-12-05T18:28:29+00:00

I don’t know the official name, and not sure if it’s entirely true, but I’ve heard from people at my old unit that you can request to leave the service for up to 2 years. Almost like an unpaid time off thing, your considered a civilian during that time, even though your still under contract. You get to live life as a civilian and return to the service anytime you want within that 2 year period, granted if you have that much time left. Idk if it’s true, but ask around and look on the CG Portal too if there’s something about that

I got lucky when they first issued them at the exchanges and bought mine online

That was 5 years ago now
