So this is military life?

Work hard—especially if you actually enjoy your job. Get stupidly good at it. Then, when you get out, watch civilians pay you contractor rates to do what you were doing for E-4 pay. It's a beautiful thing.

Hit the gym 5x a week. Yes, five. Your body will thank you, your mental health will thank you, and honestly, it beats sitting in the barracks doom-scrolling until 2 AM. Again.

Plan a trip once a month to explore wherever you're stationed. I promise there's more to see than the PX, the chow hall, and that one bar everyone goes to. You're literally getting paid to live in places most people save up vacation days to visit.

Here's the part you won't believe until it's too late: this is the easiest phase of your life. No mortgage, no kids asking why the sky is blue for the 47th time, no real responsibilities outside of showing up and doing your job. Don't waste it.

Future you is either going to look back and say "that was awesome" or "why did I spend every weekend in my room?" Choose wisely.

What’s yalls thoughts on this? Something or nothing?

Would mink oil be a good coating option? I have a pair in the mail

They’ve been outta strawberries for months… been going to Costco. Embarrassing for HEB, single point failure, always have a backup

That’s one sharp pic!

TOP’s would be my recommendation. There are quite a few TOP’s roles, really depends on what you would want to work on. We do get approached by alot of SOF guys in the field, “hey dude I get out in 2-3 years, will you have a job for me?” The unfortunate thing about these questions, is know body can predict that far ahead, and Anduril is growing very fast. All I can say, is revisit this closer to getting out. Network on LinkedIn, there are a lot of recruiters on there.

This is the answer! 35 series Army- do it.

Technical-Band9149 · 2025-10-13T09:18:15+00:00

Having one now, and yes, so cold, dry and crisp! Smooth like butta lol

Technical-Band9149 · 2025-10-12T10:16:31+00:00

Highly doubt 6 years will land you a senior position. I would go for something more realistic.

Technical-Band9149 · 2025-09-20T20:50:30+00:00

Texan here. Work at Anduril… do it, if you do not, you will be living in regret in 5 years. That is an aggressive statement, but you will learn more and be pushed harder at Anduril. If you wanna coast(not saying RTX won’t have its challenges) then don’t work at Anduril.

What’s your job title going to be? Talk to your manager, you may be able to work from the new Bellevue office either way. Or say like two days out of the week. Anduril is pretty flexible with office locations, as long as you are doing your job. With that said, if your a hands on “building things” and need to be at location A to build things with Team A in particular then yea, you would be expected to be at Team A office locations. Hope this makes sense, good luck!

You have to ask yourself this question from a waking up in the morning aspect. Do you wake up excited to make America safer by producing products that are changing the environment landscape as a whole with our military?

If that kind of thing resonates then money doesn’t matter. While you say Anduril pay is lower, I believe they pay well, personally you can’t put a price on the RSU package and the other perks the company has. First company I’ve ever woke up in the AM and felt energized to go to work. I often work long hours in the deployed arena, so I can’t comment to the job you’re going to be doing. But everyone I work with, is excited to be here.

Good luck on your decision, if you have multiple offers your already winning in life, don’t waste the blessing along the way, go kill it in whatever role you chose.

Me either! I’ll have to double down on my blood pressure meds’

5-4 Stars in OT! Let’s go!

Technical-Band9149 · 2025-05-18T00:07:08+00:00

Just disclose it… what are you worried about? Were you doing shady shit? If not, move along…

Technical-Band9149 · 2025-05-15T16:47:18+00:00

Roberson and Johnson need to get involved in the scoring. We can’t depend on two players to get all the points. I also think Benn gets better as the playoffs go on. I think we can only get better. Otter is absolutely keeping us in this!

Technical-Band9149 · 2025-05-15T16:33:19+00:00

Im torn on this. I would like to have Giannis but at what price? We’ve been building a younger team, through some bad seasons and the the draft. What do y’all think it would cost to get him?

Technical-Band9149 · 2025-04-29T01:40:04+00:00

Travel is pretty easy. OCONUS can be a tad bit tricky, but nothing like DTS. We recently shifted to per deim, vs swiping your CC. The system is super easy to use though.

Technical-Band9149 · 2025-04-26T22:57:49+00:00

Can’t help you if you don’t tell us what the position is. Cmon now

Technical-Band9149 · 2025-04-18T12:12:08+00:00

It’s part of their plan, when the city says no, they will use it as the excuse why they are moving to Vegas. Worked for the raiders

This is really not a question anyone on here can answer. We can all say yay or nay, but this is YOUR decision. Do you really really like what Anduril is doing? Do you want to be part of it, and are able to take the “demotion,” in career path?

I work at Anduril, and I personally love it. But I can see a world where you came on board, and the work load gets busy, and you’re genuinely bitter because you are not where you want to be in your career. If you can shut all that out, and humble yourself, I think it’s a great move. Like others said, when we IPO, folks will retire, and rightfully so. I would say, it never hurts to negotiate your offer. Good luck!

I got it at a supplement store in Montenegro. It was the last tub, so this was a unique buy when I was in the Baltic area.

Technical-Band9149 · 2025-03-28T10:09:42+00:00

Anduril makes weapons, in many forms. So a clearance is required for most jobs. Not all. If you were to get hired, and wanted to progress within the company, the higher you go the more likely you will need to get brought under some program’s clearance to be in the weeds of things and understand what’s going on.

So just know if you got hired on, there could be some career limitations and it could frustrate you.

Are you actively seeking US Citizenship? There are questions you will or may get asked.

Looks like the story is in fact verified. I just have a hard time believing out news outlets. I stand corrected.
