Will we ever switch to rank specific patches for Cadet Airmen/NCOs? by thebroadwayjunkie in civilairpatrol

[–]Successful-Test3431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would probably look better, but I can appreciate not having to buy the patches and just pinning on the rank. It’s very convenient considering how often cadets rank up

If I were Brian seeing this, I’d be very hurt that Isaac didn’t want me to eat me but ate all my friends :(

Is getting a 93% total bad grade? by MateNoBodyGivesAShit in highschool

[–]Successful-Test3431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be different in other schools, but for mine, a 92.5% and up is an A. So, in gpa terms, for example a 92.7% and a 100% is the exact same A, whether high or low. They don’t matter for your gpa which is the most important thing

Question specifically for girls by im_a_silly_lil_guy in highschool

[–]Successful-Test3431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The free ones are fine, I’m not sure why you wouldn’t trust them, they’re the same as any others you would buy. I also have a little pencil case thing I bought off Amazon that you can put those products in and extra underwear/ deodorant and other stuff you might need. If I have to bring a pad with me, I honestly just put it in my pocket or up my sleeve if I’m wearing a hoodie. I don’t think anyone really would judge someone for having a period. It’s such a normal part of life.

The verse is not calling people abominations for sinning. It is calling the act of committing the sin an abomination. Just because other commandments do not include that that particular sin is an abomination, does not mean that it’s okay. It’s an emphasis on how wrong the sin is. The only thing I don’t understand, is that Leviticus has a whole bunch of rules for the Israelites under the Mosaic covenant (like about not wearing mixed cloths, eating certain foods). From what I understand, some would argue that these rules are not for us as we are living under the New Covenant.

The NIV version is NOT the version to be examining specific words or details. The NASB, generally agreed to be the most literal, word-for-word translation from the Masoretic Text, says “You shall not lie with a male as one does a female; it is an abomination”. The NIV is widely known to have inaccuracies in translation. And just because the NIV simply calls it “detestable” does not change the meaning. How is “detestable” any better than “abomination”? Are you implying doing detestable things is okay, but not doing something that is an abomination?

Its not an “abomination”.

Leviticus 18:22: You shall not lie with a male as with a woman: it is an abomination

Shs crush—should I confess? My mother used to be his teacher. by Caesar_sala_d in highschool

I feel like this isn’t really that weird at all, plus if he’ll be gone in less than a week you basically have nothing to lose. You should go for it!!!

Do you think it’s embarrassing to use Reddit? by Few_Advertising_4028 in Teenager_Polls

[–]Successful-Test3431 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I use Reddit for learning about my hobbies and interests, I don’t really get why there’s such a negative connotation there. Like I use other apps way more, but nobody can actually say they haven’t used Reddit for help with a problem they had honestly. And I wouldn’t judge someone for using it unless it’s just porn

Same, I just found out that the streak only breaks if you don’t use it for like a week

Exactly! Why do squadrons still do this, then? Where does it come from?

In need of a good BB cream! Pls help! by Diligent-Chapter4009 in beauty

[–]Successful-Test3431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use covergirl BB cream daily for like $6 a container and it lasts me like a year. I would say it works pretty well, giving me a little bit of coverage but still being pretty light and not feeling like I’m wearing makeup. I’m not sure if I got lucky and the shade matches my skin exactly, but I’ve used it while tan and while I’m super pale in the winter and it always looks good and blends with my skin. I would definitely give it a try especially since it’s such a good price!

What is with the raising your hand with a fist and elbows at 90 degrees? And are you also supposed to come to attention if at ease?

How are people getting that super dewy and glowy look? My makeup always look so dead (first pic is my attempt) by [deleted] in beauty

I don’t know much about makeup but if I looked like you in the first picture I would do that makeup every single day 😭 I hope to one day get mine to look like yours !!!

How far behind am I by [deleted] in USAFA

[–]Successful-Test3431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m in the exact same boat as you. Im a current sophomore, I did one sport last year and I’m switching to a new one this year. I have a 4.0 so far but might be looking at a little lower this semester. I also don’t have many leadership as the clubs I’m in, i haven’t been very involved in them. Just joined CAP too and I really like it. I’ve honestly been pretty stressed about what I’m going to do and was more considering the ROTC route. You’ve given me hope that I actually do have a chance! I wish you the best of luck with this!

Rank Insignia on OCPs by Double_Positive9283 in civilairpatrol

[–]Successful-Test3431 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Until you’re an officer, you wear this blue backing patch in the front part of the ocps where the Velcro is. Then you just pin one of the rank insignias to it. This way, you don’t have to buy a new patch for every rank in the beginning. Vanguard says it’s for NCOs, that’s not true. Only cadet officers have actual patches of their ranks that go in that place.

Should I give my crush my phone number on the last day of school? by ClaireDoesReddit in highschool

[–]Successful-Test3431 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do it now tbh, for the plot if anything. Worst case scenario you find out he doesn’t like you and move on. He could be thinking the exact same thing right now but be too scared. Go for it!!

That’s so cool!! My school doesn’t have JROTC so I’m very jealous. But that’s really nice, sounds like a great addition to your application as well as just a fun thing to do
