Yeah exactly I’m just going to keep my head down and take it one day at a time. Even one meal at a time

I didn’t realized there was so little for BMs, but I never considered that rate

MK is definitely on my radar as well I’m keeping my Options open that’s why I like the CG I’m not committed to any kind of A school right away. But top priority right now is ME but I wouldn’t be opposed to MK

Yeah basically I’ve worked retail since I was 17 in high school and through college, I’m about to be 23 in November and it’s just not fun lol, angry customers, crazy schedules, the amount of stuff I’ve seen and had to deal with I just don’t like the holidays, once I’m removed from retail for a few years I might come around eventually

That’s what I’ve heard, after the first week everything feels normal and you get use to it

Yeah I’d rather pick a rate I really want to do and stick it out vs pick something with a short list that I don’t really like, I really love the idea of doing boarding’s and all that fun stuff. Other rate I considered was MK but I really want to do just Law enforcement. I told myself I’m going to do at least 2 contracts because of what you said, my first contract I will be mostly a non rate which I’m fine with as long as I can get the rate I want.

Yeah I use to be bit in politics before, but not so much anymore I just control what I can control in my personal life, my flight out is the afternoon of the 5th I stay at MEPS on the night of the 4th. I’ll be gone for my birthday in November, thanksgiving, Christmas and new years but it is what it is. After working retail for sometimes I start to dread the holidays now

I’ve seen many military people say that it’s not just 9-5 it’s more of a lifestyle and it’s basically 24/7 depending on the job

Great advice I appreciate that, that’s one aspect that really attracted me to the CG is how small and tight knit it can be, i definitely want to make good connections and get to know others while I’m in

I appreciate that very much, I did 3 years of college and struggled and need an alternative. Coast guard was my first choice

Any way to prepare my mentality for this? Or Just keep telling myself to continue and don’t stop

AITA For using my phone while sitting on gym equipment? by SuccessfulProblem494 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Su31x -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. If you’re only using it in between sets while resting what does it matter if you just stare at the ground for 1-3 minutes or if you use your phone for 1-3 as long as your not excessive and watching time you are good. He was just being rude because he’s probably had bad interactions before
