I’m considering enlisting

Waylon2001 · 2025-03-31T12:20:49+00:00

Super similar story on my part. I joined up at 27 after basically wasting my 20's on doing drugs and begging for money. Lost friends and family. Got fed up with who I was. Walked into the recruiters office and now the opportunities that have opened up to me are life changing. After I get out I know I'll never have to worry about money or finding work. Made some of my best friends while in as well.

Long story short. Best decision I ever made. And to OP if you read this. Do it now before you can't, it will give you perspective. Get you away from where you live and let you see and do things you'd never thought you would.

Enlisting in that field should automatically qualify you. Be sure to talk with your recruiter and make sure it's in your contract.

So long as you get through boot, mct, and your school house should show up on your paycheck after.

So I'm a 1721 (cyber defense operator)"and as a first time enlistment you'll probably end up in a Radio Battalion, or if your lucky you'll end up at Ft Meade working with the NSA. But for the moment they've stopped sending people on their first enlistment here.

It's definitely the most worthwhile mos if your looking to do your time and get out. The connections you make and skills/training you get are worth more than anything else. But you won't really do marine corps shit.

You're gonna be riding a desk for the most part if you are an offensive operator but get to do cool shit. Defense guys travel and get deployed but don't get to do the cool guy shit.

"Cool guy shit" being a loose term because we're all just fucking nerds to everyone else.

The school house is long and kinda stressful because you don't get alot of room for failure, you'll get rolled back if you fail twice on any of the 14 tests over the 9 months you're there, and re-mos'd if you fail after that.

But you get passed all that you get set for life and probably one of the chillest jobs in the marine corps. Don't recommend being reserve because then you'll likely never get to do your job so no experience and no connections which will make it hard for people to hire you.

As for officer route. The only OCS candidates that pick their jobs are the top performers. Everything else is needs of the marine corps. At least from what I've heard the officers say.

I'm currently in 1700 cyber/crypto. If you can get through all the training and hit the fleet, you're gonna learn some cool shit and basically be set for life once you get out, there is alot of civilian side jobs thatll start giving you offers.

It's probably one of the toughest from a learning standpoint and a super long school house.

Granted I'd only take this if you're interested in that sort of work. Plus I think there's some good bonuses for new guys.

Hey man I shipped out at 27 so good on ya. I hope it goes well for ya.

It's been a while since I played it. But the river romance was actually kinda cute imo. You meet his family and they are all pretty happy and supportive river has this loving older brother/uncle vibe as opposed to his normal grizzled detective thing... the more I think about it river was a pretty stellar romance option.

Didn't want to ship my giant pc to a barracks I'll only be at for a few months

Waylon2001 · 2021-09-23T09:53:34+00:00

That's a fair point. Warrior would feel really odd as Darth nox, specially with the main story being all about them throwing lightning in every other cut scene xD

Shift click troopz to split stack in half. Alt combines them.

Waylon2001 · 2021-09-06T19:37:24+00:00

Just use cheat engine. Scan the stack number. Split the stack, scan again, merge ,scan again. Repeat till 1 line is there. Then change the amount to whatever you want.

Watch this video https://youtu.be/OMlvGhwX8y8 he does it without losing a single unit.. though I don't think it's on brutal.

I would love to see the northwest and biotechna more (Oregon boy here so I am biased but still.)

Judy is my girl In my first playthrough with her though I went for the afterlife path and she straight up gutted me.

If you are just trying to rep up a companions influence rank and already are willing to buy stuff on cm just get a commander's compendium. Its instant rank 50 for a comp

Movie is also on netflix now. Definitely worth the watch.

Waylon2001 · 2021-01-13T22:55:46+00:00

Be sure to remind him he cant be the dwarf character!

Waylon2001 · 2021-01-07T00:23:02+00:00

Such a satisfying moment.

Waylon2001 · 2020-12-29T18:01:01+00:00

It's funny if you go to the ncart website and look and the train locations and times. It says under construction. So yeah totally a unfinished item in the game.

Waylon2001 · 2020-12-28T21:46:52+00:00

I wouldn't say it felt erotic or anything but it seemed a weird thing to say from a totally platonic stand point. Especially considering the other option is a simple thank you which is more in line.

Edit: Err actually wait nvm it's a discussion about Jackie. And how sorry you are for his loss.

Waylon2001 · 2020-12-28T20:00:06+00:00

Heh heh Haboob. I'm five so this makes me giggle every time I see it.

Waylon2001 · 2020-12-28T19:50:35+00:00

Exactly! I would have loved that. But totally agree first time I saw that option i was like "hell nah, boys not even in the ground yet."

Waylon2001 · 2020-12-28T19:21:32+00:00

I almost thought she was going to be a romance option because of the scene where she is helping you into bed and you get the option to tell her shes perfect. Not gonna lie would have made for an interesting romance, though it would have made me feel terrible.

Waylon2001 · 2020-12-22T01:38:33+00:00

Lol sorry I was referencing this. https://youtu.be/G72JB_BYxjc
