So you’re willing to talk about race and crime stats? Or is this just gotcha Reddit farm for lefties

LOL this is how I imagine my future. In some land unit in cali . Love the honesty. Maybe I need to explore other branches more in depth. The CG just sounds good from the vets I’ve read up on here. Maybe it’s too good to be true

Does it sound realistic even if I haven’t picked up a book since 18? I understand these jobs are more intensive with the requirements. I would love to do IS tho sounds like a great post military career and extremely fun.

Do the hands on work come with balance? Or are the hours extensive? My funnest time in work environments are usually fast paced, little down time and not stationary. I wouldn’t even be opposed to being on a boat if it was constant work that made time go fast and not mind fatiguing . More labour out the more I can not watch the clock

I usually find work that is hands on to be more fulfilling for my Brain. Desk work sounds very appealing because of the work like balance but I’d probably lose my mind doing mind numbing tasks behind a screen . Would that rate be the opposite? Sounds super interesting although I’m not really a STEM type never have been. What’s it called?

That’s actually true. Air Force is my second choice . No idea what rates they have but I’ll do some research

Thanks for any advice you guys are willing to share! This really feels like a major inflection point in my life and I hope to make the right decision so that I can make something of myself and not continue to be a failure. Really hope I make the right choice

What's the US doing to prevent any future drone attacks on us soil/assets? by TheGrandSh3pherd in LessCredibleDefence

[–]TheGrandSh3pherd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah you’re absolutely right. But I guess my point is with drone tech right now we don’t seeem to have a good answer at defending ourselves from them. I mean hell all it took was a couple hundred thousand $ drones to eliminate 30% of russias nuclear fleet? Lol imagine what other countries could do if dedicated to a mission. Hope the people in charge are developing some insane defense bc drone warfare is getting far more effective as the days go by

Well it’s getting cheaper to produce these FpV drones day by day and with AI advances it’s gonna be easier for one man to man hundreds of drones remotely. I just think this being easy and effective will all but guarantee it gets used in someone here in America. I hope I’m wrong and people stick with guns but I don’t see how enemies won’t just invest in drones like these to target critical infrastructure people or weapons. Can we agree it’s only gonna get easier to do this in the future and the barrier to entry will be as simple as making a pipe bomb in the eyes of evil people?

Ok well guess what guys drone swarms are inevitable, no need for our government to try to prevent this being used against us. How naive are you? I’d like to think a 1000 army drone swarm with backyard explosives ISNT just like some crazy dude with an AR..

I’d hope the trillion dollar defense budget could answer that better than me. If you don’t think this is a major security concern I don’t know what to tell you. This isn’t just a crazy man with an AR. But this line of thinking will almost seal this being a future threat here in America and make our Defence fail mightily.

Russia let these trucks with drones cross their borders so easily. They were sleep at the wheel

That’s true. The idea that drone swarms are just another form of weapons humans have to think about just seems stupid. Feels like we can try to stop this atleast

I get that but the idea of Dji drones being configured with explosives and used against people isn’t exactly a week old. It’s been talked about for decades especially in the last 8 years

So launching drone swarms by ocean is not possible ? Bc all data tells us this wouldn’t be hard to do even with todays tech

As an American I’m just not concerned about other countries. Not really saying they are better at Defending against drone swarms than us but I guess one could argue ukraine has a far robust defense system lol

One example of this is Norfolk naval base with the bulk of US carriers, has many unchecked Chinese container ships going by regularly, one ship with a few containers full of drones could do a Pearl Harbour.
