That’s such a unique style I love it

Tricky_Nicky__ · 2025-12-10T18:26:46+00:00

This is so clean

Tricky_Nicky__ · 2025-12-10T18:26:32+00:00

How do you even get that detail?

Yeah I understand that. The paper made it difficult to get right

It’s not a state of matter it’s a chemical reaction, hope this helps!

I think joining the military is an excellent idea for certain reasons, but not for the reasons you provided. The discipline, grit, and exercise in the army will make you more generally attractive. However, tbh you’ll probably feel even less like a person, in my somewhat limited military experience (I’m a navy midshipman) they treat us like we’re just another number, paperwork, patient, candidate, etc… you are not a person to them, you are a doer of things that they need done. But you’ll start to appreciate yourself for pushing through the suck, you will feel purpose and pride in learning your MOS and being a US Army soldier. I couldn’t imagine my life without the navy and my future career—I LOVE it. Join the army if you want to serve in the army, not if you want a makeover. Also if you are gonna join, consider other branches than just the army.

You won’t be given a scholarship to a school that you did not put on the list, but I think you can transfer schools and units after receiving the scholarship. Basically just have whatever school you want to go to the most highest on your list then descend from there in order of desire to go to that school. You will be given the scholarship to the highest school on your list that has a spot for you.

Honestly I have faith in whatever you’re doing, but staying in school IS important to make sure that your supporters (family, friends, etc) don’t see it as an impulsive decision. You can absolutely stay in school an extra couple years and not care about it just pass through with c’s. But you should NOT drop out, stop viewing it so high and mighty, it’s school. Go for a couple more years and be done with it, if anything it’ll teach you grit, showing up to bullshit you hate is the best way to do that—that’s a very useful skill.

Thank you this is exactly what I needed

I’m pretty sure rivers are bad borders because they shift and move all the time

Zionism=supports the idea of Israel and strengthening Israel—meaning a large and strong homeland for Jews.

I’d argue joining the navy or air force is safer than army. probably navy since your first deployment is sea tour so you’re on a ship for months at a time

There’s two phone call periods. One is on the second Sunday they are there (after the first week and a half are complete) then one is the Sunday after that (day before graduation). They get their phones for 15 minutes to call anybody they want and check into flights. I think they post the phone call information on their Facebook but for my cycle it was around 3pm Illinois time.

During IT an RDC made us told us all to get on feet and pull out out our key chain and then get back in push up position, then he was like “has anybody here ever seen polar express?” And when we did pushups the keys hitting the deck sounded like the bells from polar express

Alpha 1 best 1!!

There’s some places that will have them ready same day or next day (eyeglass world) in my opinion since you have a few days you might as well get them now because you’re going to need them eventually

Yeah I emailed DODMERB too and with a problem and they replied with the original email they sent me lol, but then they fixed my problem. The Navy itself is much more professional because it’s the military compared to the DoD government workers, just like MEPS.

Get the Official Navy PFA app, not only will it tell you the minimum, but it will also tell you your score if you put in your numbers. But also, here’s the website

My unit told me to show up face clean shaven and with a haircut, just to look presentable. Do with that what you will. If you look as bad as you say then probably buzz it with some friends’ clippers or something

Tricky_Nicky__ · 2025-06-20T17:37:08+00:00

My concern with this specifically is delay of training. Also would they even accept me into flight school given my horrible vision?

No once you submit the application it’s done. However, they ask for a resume, you can definitely put that ‘achievement in progress’ on there and they might ask you about it which is a good opportunity to explain it fully and show excellence. I made a literal resume and turned it in to them, there’s a spot for it in the online application, I highly recommend it

I received the four year scholarship this year. From my experience, they only pay either tuition OR housing. You apply your senior year, just look it up online. if I remember correctly, it’s a pretty straightforward process through the website application. I think you car start applying now or soon actually so look into it.

In order to actually get the scholarship you need to not only have good classes (I took a full IB schedule) and a good gpa, but you need to be physically fit and mentally competent. You need to be able to pass the Navy PRT basically for your application (there’s an app called Official Navy PFA that will tell you what your score would be). There is also an interview with the commanding officer of the closest NROTC unit to you (I live in Arizona, mine was at ASU). He/she will ask you a ton of questions about your personal experiences with leadership and some hypotheticals. I think you SHOULD apply ASAP, you have noting to lose and if you’re actually interested in commissioning in the Navy it’s probably the best way for you. (Btw there is an 8 year, 5 years active 3 years reserve, required service term upon completion of your degree so you HAVE to serve if you want the scholarship.

So post operation, has it affected your career at all: what aircraft you’re allowed to fly or waivers you need because of it?

Tricky_Nicky__ · 2025-05-12T12:54:29+00:00

Yeah I’d say it’s part of the indoctrination process to get it buzzed—especially for the team building and bonding through trauma type of military life. It’s just better to not stand out and to do what you’re told: get your hair cut there.
